One thing I am wondering about with this whole Gollum thing (and your mention of Battle box) is that these are formats where players don't really need to parse a card while drafting it. Would a new player take a Gollum during a draft? Would I? I think I would be likely to pass it until I had...

Honestly, I used that all the time when building presentations or writing my thesis but usually coast on the flavour text. I'll have to remember that!

That's a fair analysis. Thank you very much! I guess I mean that comparing them to the previous cheapest boosters and feeling like they may not get there in terms of value. I'm not sure how good the EV is for set boosters on given set, so if they were decent typically, then I'm sure this...

Thanks! The clauses being the two major parts of the sentence? I swear I'm an english speaker, I just never think about it anymore, haha. "Few in the empire would appreciate the dangers which lurk at the edge of the continent," works better you mean?

Yeah, that makes sense for sure. I like the idea for low creature count decks. So maybe the idea of threat* works well there. Like probably best in a deck where Bone Sabres IS the threat. I'll give it some thought as to if that fits the cube or not.

Yeah, it feels good and seems like it will help support new players in a really subtle way that doesn't affect gameplay. Thanks for the support!

Hmm, that's a really good way to look at it. I'll give that some thought and that'll probably guide my decisions on buffs if I choose to keep it in. Thanks!

I feel like that's the optimistic assumption but the lack of transparency gives me pause for sure.

Fair point. Combo is reasonably well represented but the cube is a lot more aggressive. Mostly just like the feel of this card and wondering what people think.

Alright, so my brain is stuck on this card and I want it for my powered Vintage cube. I'm currently testing the version below, but I'm curious what other people think the bar is on how far to push a [[Bone Sabres]] before it will be playable in Vintage Cube. Sidenote: Taking a note from the...

But is there a way to calculate/estimate the chance of getting 4 rares? I've pulled packs before that were double Rare/Foil Rare before and went -ev on it because they were bulk rares.... It feels like this is hugely ev negative (which feels obvious given the addition of rares would need to add...

I was pretty on the fence about this, until I read that they will be more expensive AND the cheaper version of packs are no longer available. Feels like another thing that's getting more expensive for no reason.

That's how I understand it as well.

Is there a reason to make it an enchantment?

Is it weird that my brain sees the non-unfinity version of this card and goes "Wow that's bonkers I want to play with that?" Maybe it still just doesn't quite get there, but still.

I I've actually been doing that with cards in my cube. Done it to a few cards now. Looks really clean. I use the import function on CardConjurer which will import a full card. Just add the frame.

Pretty much, haha. Although I think I added like 1-3 cards from the last couple sets without alteration.

Bro, it's been like that for a while, haha. I had someone ask me "Don't you want them to keep printing cards?!" And I honestly said no. Like it literally doesn't matter to me. Half the time spoiler season is "Oh, that's such a cool idea. I'll go make a custom card that's a riff on that."

I'm in the same boat. Looking at setting specific timings for making cube updates. I think I like 3-4 months. Maybe keeping a "test" cube in digital to manage what that future future league of the cube looks like and one that reflects the paper cube. Congrats on pulling the trigger! I like the...

If you ever run any online drafts, I'd be super interested in joining some. I know the custom cards can be a bit cumbersome but Cockatrice handles them pretty well usually.
