    They will be doing this every set from now on, and I am very pleased by it. These will drive down the price of non mythic standard cards by eating into the EV of standard packs, which is a good thing. This is also where we will likely see the much needed reprints like the 'damnation' reprint...

    I think there may be room for both, but their functions are so different that if you're happy with the mechanical composition of you cube, I wouldn't simply swap them.

    Maybe it's the 3cmc activation cost that's weirding me out.

    I would have loved to take 2 bouncelands, but I was not passed a single on color or even half-color bounceland, unfortunately. :c I'm a big fan of Palladium Myr, he's good ramp and easy to interact with. Good choice!

    Tinkered with a few drafts. I very much dislike Augur of Bolas, as he usually reads: "Look at the bottom 3 cards of your library." I also dislike aether vial in cube; I think it's a trap card considering how narrow it is, and how useless it sometimes is even in those decks...

    Considering that my U/R in my cube is Artifacts + Instant/Sorceries... he's perfect. Although, I suspect that he will just be flashing back a small cantrip or counterspell most of the time... which, stapled onto a 5/6 with flash, is just fine.

    That, I can totally agree with. It was one of the reasons I like flamecaller so much. She didn't step on Pyromaster's toes. This, though... it's just strictly better, even if it's utility is slightly different :/

    You should play Legacy! It's super fun, and skill-testing besides. Chandra is likely to be one of the strongest walkers ever printed for cube, so I can't really argue with ya there. While I can see a theoretical meta where she shines more, Modern currently lacks those midrange decks that...

    This may surprise you, but I completely agree. I am a person who in general thinks Jace is over-valued in draft. He is still very good, mind you... but not as good as he is with a proper shell around him. Edit: There is a big difference between 'constructed' Jace and 'draft' Jace. People who...

    I should probably point out that I'm looking at this from a constructed perspective, as that is where the comparisons between her and JTMS fall very, very short. Brainstorm VS. Exile In terms of her +1, I'm not sure if you've ever played with Jace in constructed. At it's base, Jace's 0 is...

    I like your mono-red deck. In general, I've been having a bit of trouble making mono-red 'great' in my cube, any advice on that would be helpful. I am in love with that Soverign's Realm deck! I haven't tried the card in person, but I hope that I can draft a deck half as dirty as this one!

    Alright, I'm gonna be the sourpuss here. Chandra is not JTMS. The comparison is frankly laughable. That does NOT mean that she isn't a good planeswalker; in fact I would say she is likely the best chandra ever printed... but the comparisons to JTMS are overblown. Just gonna put that out there...

    She's holding Kiran's goggles in her left hand, so... I doubt we'll be seeing Chandra's dad. At least, not alive.

    If this is the case, then I heartily recommend cutting Yawgmoth's will, Tendrils of Agony, Brain Freeze and Dark Ritual. These are trap cards. Players are conditioned to think of a certain kind of storm deck when they see these cards, and they will take these early -expecting- to see...
