This set was particularly exciting for my Peasant cube for one reason: new Bestow cards! I've always wanted to see Bestow return, since it was introduced at such a low ebb in the game's power level. MH3 really delivered on this axis, and as a bonus delivered some cool multicolor cards and a...

Really hoping to see Glimmers at uncommon and common, and I'm excited to see Delirium in the set, too. Hoping to see a card with a TV on it that has two or more Channel abilities. Maybe in a commander deck? It would be cool of the Wickerfolk are green artifact creatures, like that Timber Paladin.

Saving Space Here for Something Very Intelligent and Well-Considered Which I Will Someday Write Regarding this Cube.

Multivalent Multivalent is a multicolor-driven Peasant cube. It's a showcase of all the great breadth of Magic gameplay, and a kind of proof-of-concept that this game doesn't require expensive rares to be fun. My goal is to include as many multicolor cards as possible without breaking the...

OMG, I really hope it's Junk. Time to go re-read Watership Down.

Maelstrom Mania Invasion of Alara Maelstrom Madness is a 180-card cube that features 30 (!!!) copies of Invasion of Alara Basically, the cube's signature spell does a huge amount of stuff. Your goal is to draft a deck that can do all of the following better than your opponent: A: CAST...

I've been waiting to see TV's in MtG since the first Ravnica set. While I'm not crazy about the fanny packs, and I think the 80's fashion could be made a lot more fantastical, at the end of the day a Multiverse can't just be castles and elves and regurgitated-recannibalized Tolkien stuff. The...

I'm working on mine and I'll submit it to the contest even if it's not finished. Great design prompt!

I guess I think of Hive as a symmetrical zero-variance game in the same family as Chess or Go. To my mind, designing a game like this requires a lot of discipline and refinement, and the final design is elegant and stimulating because complex games arise from simple pieces and rules. Meanwhile...

This contest is really awakening the two Game Design Wolves inside me. One of them really admires games like Hive, and the other really admires games like Necromolds.

Going into spoiler season I didn't think this set would have much for Welder's Workshop because of the emphasis on Energy and {C}, but I was quite mistaken. There's a little treat for every color in here, but Black is getting an absolute overhaul in the creature section that I'm really excited...

Devoid is a weird one. Basically, it's in line with all the game's keywords, which simply define exceptions to the rules that apply only to the keyworded card. Creatures deal combat damage simultaneously, unless they have first strike. Instants and sorceries go to the graveyard when they...

This set is so good for my Peasant environment. Love those "landscape" lands. Really cool how the triple-color Cycling serves as a nice visual shorthand for the fetchable basics available to each one. If they all had Cycling {3} it would be really hard to tell them apart, I think.

Modern Horizons 3 got me like:

Hybrid dual-flipland DFCs are perfect for my Peasant cube, but I will echo the sentiment that these cards could have done without Energy. Honestly, I think they've got enough "tech" on them already. It kind of reminds me of the cycle of 3-color split-hybrids from Mumbles at Murdoc Manor where...

I think you've managed to find the project with the least favorable effort-to-satisfaction ratio imaginable.

I am absolutely thrilled about some of these cards, but especially the return of Bestow. For a long time, Bestow, Evoke, and Suspend were my favorite mechanics. Eventually they got sort of blended together into Adventure, which I think is the perfect "cards that are also other cards" mechanic...

Omg, my dream has come true! I'll have to update the wish to "please print a modern-frame Blast-Furnace Hellkite with reminder text for Artifact Offering." It's crazy how many new cards have been printed in the last few years for this kind of cube. And based on the titles of some of those...

Kind of reminds me of Death-Rattle Oni

I'm literally begging Wizards to make a Legend that turns all creatures into 1/1 Otters with Prowess in Bloomburrow. Please Wizards.
