Wasn’t Venser already Doctor Who?

Thanks for providing the link, but my previous attempts to engage with the MtG story have been frustrating: I’d rather spend my time reading better written books. I find that I can pick up enough from the cards to have a vague idea of what is going on. Although my story may differ in some of...

Lovely article. This article by Sam Gomersall was the one that prompted me to build my first cube back in 2005, and more importantly is the article Evan Erwin referenced in his article the following year that really blew the lid off cube drafting. Sam was a really nice guy and the best player...

Ship-eating troll sounds like an obnoxious participant on an internet fan forum.

I would be tempted to delve deeper into the Dominaria United design approach, where each colour focuses on a particular theme and the colour pairs relate to the intersection of those themes. For example white was about having lots of creatures, red was about having big creatures, and Baird...

You can’t reference ability words mechanically in the same way you can keywords. MaRo confirmed this in an article last year: I don’t know why you can’t reference an ability word, but there you go. I agree that it is odd that Channel is not a keyword, but it may be a good thing that it isn’t. I...

That point on the path was here.

I was amoosed by this.

This makes perfect sense. If you’re starting with Storm Crow you clearly don’t give a toss about the colour.

I agree with the comments above, and would add that in BRO limited the card also benefits from artifact and soldier synergies, without which it further loses value.

I try not to think about Humility because I would need to understand layers and time stamps and quantum entanglement and those things make my brain hurt. Plus it shuts off ETB effects. Magus of the Tabernacle randomly hoses go-wide decks, which I try to support in my cube, so I wouldn’t run...

Thanks Velrun, but you’re burying the lead! This is used in the commander card Farid, Enterprising Salvager, and I like it from both a mechanical and flavour perspective. Farid is not so useful in a standard 1-vs-1 cube, but the both red and black have a history of recycling artifacts, and...

Is that a Pokeball he’s swinging around? If so he should be summoning creatures, not drawing lands. Secondly, what’s going on under his bottom lip? Overgrown soul patch? Minimalist goatee? Shave it all off or grow a proper beard. I will not cube this card.

Dakkon, Shadow Slayer and Sharuum the Hegemon want to know why this isn’t actually Esper.

It’s destroying lands rather than fetching them, but I altered an Armageddon in the style of Van Gogh.

Are they running out, or is it because more creatures are designed for commander? Generic creatures tend to have two word names, legends tend to be “Awesome McCoolname, Slayer of the Infinite“.

The top right set contains cards that were unique to Jumpstart from 2020 (some of those cards may since have been reprinted. I don’t know, it’s hard to keep up). The bottom right will also contain unique cards, though only a handful have been spoiled so far. As for buying packs vs buying...

Wanting all of these all the time means I am seriously considering an all proxy cube.

Designing jumpstart packs is also quite fun. I think a few of the forum members did this. My list is here.

But Flashback and Kicker do mix, so you can get an inevitable 1/1 goblin.
