Have you considered making this heavily about Eldrazi Spawns as well? Would be a nice way to link ramp with something like a sacrifce strategy and make colorless cards super easy to support. And honestly I could see jamming all of these cards except that weird one with myriad into this cube...

They are just as good as they've always been. It's just that we have more powerful stuff today. That doesn't make them lame by any stretch imo.

It's funny that you say piss poor and then mention good cards, that would still allow for a very dynamic format high in agency. When I hear piss poor power level I think of "Cancel your Hill Giant" and not of standard all stars. Also note that power level and speed are not the same. Somewhat...

There are two little updates here. One is of course my Bloomburrow emergency update (since I usually only add new stuff twice a year). The other is a draft result. In between while I was studying for my exams, I did a couple drafts with my gf. We drafted four decks and over the course of several...

Using gay as an insult isn't funny or even okay imo.

How expensive is a secrets lair like these? I mean, it's only 4-5 cards I don't really need lol but my gf is really into monty python.

Yesterday I got my regulars over for draft night and we did a 4-person draft with my new RAV+ cube. It was a blast. The guild modules in the draft this time were all the allied color guilds: {W/U}{U/B}{B/R}{R/G}{G/W} Now, to the results: 1. Rakdos Aggro 2-1 (5-2) Ones 1 Rakdos Cackler 1...

You mean "the 3 power", right?

I love Bloomburrow. Not only is it by a thousand miles the aesthetically most pleasing set of 2024 (not even that hard), it also delivered on so many themes I enjoy, hybrids and threshold standing out the most. Slam dunks that mostly replace former tag: placeholder s and will be added right...

Dude. Your post obviously read as that. You used the word "absolute" before, said it wasn't absolute and than used hasbro shareholders as counterpoint. That motivated me to mention that there are actually other people, magic fans, that enjoy e.g. the doctor who cards. I just tried to make the...

Sure, totally. But your initial post kind of suggested that only hasbro shareholders would enjoy UB. At least to me. And even though I share your dislike for many UB projects, I think that it should been mentioned that they can only sell products that a large enough audience wants and thus enjoys.

Totally, it is impossible to get a real impression of a card within a couple drafts. I've been very happy with my two updates per year, only adding cards in between when they are printing really exactly what I wanted for a long time. Also, when you only update every 6 month or so, you have...

Apparently, their are also a lot of people loving these cards and sets, otherwise it wouldn't be good for hasbro as well. Their joy shouldn't be negligible.

My personal taste of course, but it is far too much "cards, not decks", the power level of the 3+ mana cards is so high that every turn swings a game conpletely (I prefer incremental advantages one has to work for) and, maybe the worst of all, 9 out of 10 cards are novels. Inpossible to read a...

Am I the only one who thinks the arena cube keeps being the worst experience you could imagine?

But Odyssey block was perfection and introduced the three greatest mechanics in the game <3

Yeeeeaaah baby, that's my kind of card

This isn't bad of course, but ... it does scale to the environment as much as one card could, right? And it is sooooo sweet with Ninjas

I struggle to rate this one. I know, Thermo Alchemist was really good, so we wouldn't get a straight up noncreature version. At least at common. But three mana is a lot if this should work in an aggressive shell. How does it compare to Firebrand Archer and the new version of it that is a 2/2 and...

This is a really solid common. 2/4 flying vigilance is a good base line, and for people who have a heavy lifegain theme in white and who cube 20 Prismativ Vistas (plus pain lands), this might just be a four mana Serra Angel more often than not. Sometimes better.
