Future Sight frame is definitely cooler. I am a white border enjoyer because my first cards were from 7th Edition so in my mind's eye that's just what old magic cards look like, even though I know they're kind of ugly. But I think the bevel at the bottom of the frame on the M15 frames does make...

It's me I'm the one who thinks it's cool.

This is a pretty fun take on a blue tempo creature, feels like it would be pretty decent in fetchland formats.

There is also the wonderful world of 3-power 2-drops loyal warhound accorder paladin scrapheap scrounger skyclave shade tangled colony wight riviteers requisitioner underworld rage hound benalish sleeper rakdos headliner yavimaya iconoclast I like these types of cards because they're a bit...

Honestly? I take the Siege Rhino, because if I'm really there at a table in real life drafting the world's #1 Siege Rhino fan cube, I might as well go all-in on the experience and be the guy P1ing the Siege Rhino. This is purely an appeal to emotion but I am correct. I actually had assumed for...

Yeah I love it. When I first read it I thought it was just a straight up joke card for a second because I thought it was something like "If you would mulligan, look at the top two cards of your library, then mulligan" (which a lot of people just do anyway lol), but what it actually does is...

This is like, actually pretty fun and reasonable? Seems like a good midtier 3 drop for low power fair cube stuff. I might actually run this I love these stupid playtest cards but never really had one that fit anywhere before. Here's a couple other cards that seem actually fun for cube: This...

that's just grave titan

I think lowering the power of the cube feels like the correct play. I think a lot of the friction you've been experiencing is trying to maintain this balancing act between all these legacy cube staples and these big clunky payoffs, and I think refocusing on making sure every part of the...

if there's a gay mulldrifter in the new lorwyn i'm suing those bastards for all they're worth

They gotta put me on the show now so I can defeat Parker in some sort of kart race or tennis match.

I think your last point here about comprehension complexity not necessarily being directly correlated with wordiness is pretty salient. I feel like one of the things I'm trying to avoid when cutting down on "wordy" cards is actually moreso the (reads card) "wait what" (reads card again) "okay I...

I think banning cards is sort of part of the fun for these kinds of projects. I like to keep all the banned cards in my redacted cube in a box together as a kind of "hall of fame" of broken shit, which are fun to show off to people who are new to the cube. You're inevitably going to get things...

I'd read that rant!

Glad you enjoyed it! I had a lot of fun recording that and it was cool to get to hear it on the show. Lucky Paper was like a guiding philosophy for me when I was figuring out cubing a few years ago so it was a fun little thing for me to participate in it a little bit. I think you're right that...

After being back into the game for a few years now, I'm definitely hitting that "release fatigue" wall that everybody who's invested in the game seems to run into lately. I just cannot do a round of cube updates every like, two months while also trying to gauge how the cards from the last set...

Seedshark is more of a control card in my experience. Good for decks that can hold up mana and lets you immediately have a body after a board wipe. Not so good for decks that are trying to get quick damage in.

Really interested in the fact that you run the conspiracies here. How have they been playing for you and how do they tend to affect the draft? I feel like they're still sort of untapped potential for high power cubes despite how long they've been around.

I think there's just a weird disconnect because "fear of missing out" feels like such an extremely contemporary phrase (I'm not sure that it's actually particularly new, but it's definitely caught on more recently), so it just feels dissonant with the general aesthetic. Feels weird to see a card...

"What would a set simply called Magic: the Gathering look like?" goes insanely hard and appeals to my very particular brain. More excited about this than almost anything else announced recently lol. Also wild that they are committing to having Llanowar Elves and Day of Judgement in standard for...
