    I hope so, but I would be happier if it became an evergreen mechanic, as is scry

    Are there landfall-matters cards (à la Disinformation Campaign)? Grim Flayer lol Curate in a lower-powered environment could be decent EDIT: they didn't give bushido to Jukai Trainee or Chub Toad though

    General Fight Club

    Syphon Life is a way to close games in some Life from the Loam decks, it's not the best card to do that but in a mid-low powered cube it can work. Cenn's Enlistment is more of a slow aggro card, but I would play it only if I had some token support

    In my cube How to keep an izzet mage busy is an Arcane and it is overpowered with any splice spell so yeah I guess they also fear that any new arcane could make old cards become too much powerful in some formats(?)

    General Ever feel like bounce > flicker?

    This was extremely powerful in Modern Masters limited :cool: the tricks that you were able to do with this jelly were great, between Sanctum Gargoyle, Faerie Mechanist and just other cheap artifacts. The power level was lower than the average cube though

    When I saw this some hours ago my first thought was that it was a bad proxy done by a newbie that does not know what Fastbond is

    General (BRO) The Brother's War Spoilers

    GRN is Guilds of Ravnica, or Ravnica 3.0 for the lazy, it came out in 2018... Armada Wurm was in RTR that was in 2012 (not 2020) lol But apart from this, I can understand the feeling, I feel like I am able to really "live" one expansion each year. I kinda miss the good ol' times where we stayed...

    General Monthly Fun Q: What is your favorite Magic card?

    This is so difficult! I'm going with a nostalgic choice: Illusionary Wall This was one of the first cards I owned and I loved how it protected me from everything (yeah I was a noob)

    General Fight Club

    Psychatog is iconic, very simple to understand but at the same time very interesting to play, is an already consolidated card and I would never take it out. BUT you may just try one or two drafts with the new guy at Psychatog's place and see what your friends like better

    General Spaaaaace: To Unfinity and Beyond!

    I love this card. It can be a removal or a counterspell or a draw spell or a save spell (snakeskin veil et similia). I think this could become a Cube all-star, and the fact that its effect changes (slightly) in time it's an upside more than a downside imho. I would have loved if it existed in...

    Isn’t the sphinx basically draw 2 for 1 mana?

    General Spaaaaace: To Unfinity and Beyond!

    I really want to begin putting un-cards in my cube, so I hope this will be the occasion for me to look also in the past un-sets and find cards that look nice and cubable... sadly I don't have that much time recently to play Magic

    General Monthly Fun Q: What's your favorite thing or topic on Riptidelab?

    I don't post much but I like this forum (sometimes it's just hard for me to write in English, I'm not that good). One of the things I like the most of this forum (also comparing with other forums that exist and I don't like as much) is the fact that the environment is really friendly, you look...

    General Guess the Card

    Isn't it just Red Herring? It was mentioned a lot of times but it was never the card :p

    This expansion is giving me Invasion vibes and I love it

    I had these three in a cube, but I think nobody ever drafted them together EDIT: and the obvious Dampen Thought

    Sets [2XM] Double Masters Spoilers

    I wish this was the standard for Masters sets... I really love the watermarks, and most of the original set logos :)

    General Which Shard/Wedge/Guild name is least intuitive to you

    For me it's the Tarkir ones. Maybe it's because I started playing circa 2008 so Alara was new as me to the game, and it wasn't difficult to learn the Bant, Esper, Grixis, Jund and Naya. But when Tarkir came out, I had some problem distinguishing between Mardu and Temur and Sultai. For me the...
