YESYESYES. When they introduced those for the 40k product I thought that they fit these cards nicely with the dark Sci-Fi artworks and such, but then they made the super obvious horrible choice to use them for Lord of the Rings, just to ensure that I wont get any of those cards. Also not a fan...

There surely has to be some kind of law enforcement, considering those showcase frames have WANTED written on them? Btw, don't like the showcase frames but the comic style full arts are great.

Yup, it appears to be my favorite setting of 2024 as well. However, I really hope the tribal components won't be too dominant.

I hope we get more lower powered evoke cards to make a 'fair' scam deck happen one day. Cloudshift Crystal Shard Undying Evil Soul of Migration Aethersnipe Mournwhelk

But it is not just the one pick, the cost is also to chose to get a swamp. Let's say your starting hand is that: Mountain Mountain Prismatic Vista Dark Confidant Swiftblade Vindicator Frenzied Goblin Savannah Lion If you want to cast the Savannah Lions on turn 1, you have to fetch a plains...

I've seen Worn Powerstone in many cubes, even max-power-ish ones. I've had it myself and it was a bit too much ramp for a colorless card. But I never see this in people's lists: Overgrowth Isn't this just better if you're green? It could be a very nice card to encourage BIG green ramp decks...

Wow, apparently Syndic of Tithes is a mv5 blue sorcery now.

Wow, now I have 75 cards in white. Can you confirm this or is it just at my end that I see stuff weirdly wrong? https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/nightmare

Is cobra working for everyone? It seems to be lagging here, I used to have 71 cards per color and now suddenly I have 73 in white, 69 in blue and Seeker of the Way is listed as a hybrid.

It's nothing new, especially for UB sets

It's a bit like having Dread Shade and Phyrexian Rager, manawise. The draft dynamics make it so that heavy hybrids and light hybrids are really different from each other. If you look at all one-, two- and three-colored decks, you get the following numbers for hypothetical inclusion: Dread Shade...

But in a mono blue deck, it kindanullifies all of your opponents threats as long as you can stick it - unless of course you are facing explicitly the token and anthem deck, but that's a really bad matchup to begin with. But against something like a golgari deck? Turning all there beefy dudes...

I like Akawalli better. It's a 5/5 (not a 4/4) often enough, as it also counts fetchlands cycling lands, baubles and seals. And a 7/7 trample is quite impressive for a 3-drop and very possible to achieve. Also, the Troll eats your graveyard, which might be very akward.

That is really something that I never pay much attention to, but I should. I might be perfectly happy with all my Opts and Gravediggers, but it’s also important to have some cards like that to make drafters go "wow" (Wilson, 2005).

Talking of mono color support, one thing to do this are heavy hybrids. Those are hybrid cards that you could, for example play in {W/U}, mono {W} or mono {U}, but wouldn't work really in a white or blue deck with other colors. I like to have one of these for each color combination, but I am not...

Sound interesting. Do you have a thread or something where one could follow along the process?

The fairer the environment, the more likely you are playing the Troll for it's mana cost. Sure, I am too discarding it to my Merfolk Looter turn three, but then I'l bring it back later as a hard to kill 8/8. It's a very elegant design, even though it is wordy, as it just fuels itself. The only...

I've been very happy with this baby, using it for all three of my cubes. It's big enough for a 500 card cube with tokens and if your cube is a bit smaller, you also get the basic lands in there. All those considering I'm on double sleeving. For my main cube, I use a very old and ugly yugioh...

I would give it a try. The 5/5 is usually big enough of a problem that the game progresses relatively fast. Like, you remove it or you are dead soon to it and it's many minions.

The 'normal' ones I'm running: Ant Queen Nessian Game Warden Thelonite Hermit Ant Queen is the truth. It has no etb but can take over games where it is not answered. Also scales. People love it. Maybe it also helps that I have a bunch of hand drawn tokens of ants with party hats and cocktails...
