I am not immune to loving cards with big stupid numbers on them. No idea how you make the big calendar playable but definitely one of those cards that makes you wanna build an environment just to see it do it's thing.

I think it's fine to be annoyed about this stuff and talk about how it's annoying. It dilutes the game and it's settings and turns it into something that it wasn't for 30 years. And frankly a lot of these cards have been corny, ugly rules text vomit. And if you play constructed you literally...

I always thought traps were super fun and flavorful and I'm surprised they never came back. I'd be very happy to see them return! Feels like a still pretty underexplored design space. And you get to say "you activated my trap card". What's not to like.

Yeah I like Isamaru because it's one of those very elegant cards that teaches you something about the game. Why is this vanilla 2/2 for 1 legendary? A 2/2 for 1 must be a good rate! Why is this legendary a 2/2 for 1? Being legendary must be a downside! I also like it because it is a doggy.

I will love Isamaru til I'm dead.

I think since everyone here is a cube designer, we have a somewhat skewed view of complexity compared to the average player, specifically because we are (mostly) building with existing pieces and including a lot of rares and complex cards compared to your average limited environment. A new...

I just have them turned off in Scryfall settings altogether so they didn't even turn up for me when I searched lol

"Activate only once" already exists in black border paper magic, although I agree that using some kind of counter to track it is probably easier to play.

I don't think it's weird, in an environment that's built to make this thing easy to trigger it is probably an absolute menace. The fact that it costs 1 makes it pretty playable I think. Curving this into something like Luminarch Aspirant or Gala Greeters could get nasty pretty quick.

I feel like the fact that you have to physically fit everything on top of the card probably keeps the spirit of it intact pretty well.

Yeah I'm a little surprised that they went with so many text-heavy and complex mechanics for a set that will probably be played by a lot of new players

Expressive Iteration is awesome! It's extremely skill-testing, finding the little corner cases where it's correct NOT to exile the land is always fun, or figuring out what the heck to do with it when you DON'T hit a land. Only real downside is that it strongly favors players that are already...

Yeah, I think most folks here probably would intuitively get this since we're all cube designers and think about this stuff all the time, but your average player might not pick up on it, especially since the "draw a card" is listed before the scry/mill effect, and folks are often used to doing...

I think scry+ravenous may also confuse players about when they're supposed to draw the card.

I love Anje's Ravager and I think it can function in a generic beatdown deck just fine! I think it's excellent in that it can be powerful in a deck that just wants to empty and reload it's hand asap, but shines extra hard in a deck that includes some synergistic payoffs for getting stuff into...

Not really a huge fan of this particular style of UB card. Had a similar feeling with the Doctor Who cards where they all feel like they're designed around being "clever" with representing the flavor rather than just being coherent game pieces that someone would reasonably design in a vacuum...
