    Sets [FDN] Foundations (a new Core Set)

    Ohohoho I want to play this card SO BADLY. Time to work on ramping up my discard theme EVEN MORE to do it (plus!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these character-focused basics!)

    Entering through standard is extremely good. The marginal number of people it upsets is close to zero, because so few people play standard. And now, new players can enter standard tournaments with their mono-Spiderman decks and not completely have a bad time. Win-win for the format. Win for...

    Today is also our first look at the Final Fantasy set! But yeah, the philosophy behind Foundations almost sounds like WotC is making a Cube set of their own, a "greatest hits" styled base set for all their expansions to rotate around.

    My playgroup was delighted to break singleton for African Swallow and European Swallow, but yeah, CubeCobra doesn't currently support it, or if they do, I haven't figured it out yet!

    I just (re-)added a small discard sub-theme into my Cube with the following cards, and I'm so happy I did. Feels like a reasonable contender and the cards are totally fine in a variety of decks, even at my relatively high power-level. Hostile Investigator The Raven Man Smallpox Davriel, Rogue...

    Because they choose the flavorful option when it makes the most sense, especially for one-off designs. Target audience of these is suspected to be NYCC attendees; they'll understand that Wolverine "regenerates" even if they don't play Magic, but tapping him and making him temporarily...

    Article [Lucky Paper] Cube Retrospective for 2024 Standard Rotation

    It's up! Thank you for reminding me to do it as well, it's always so much easier once the cards are on CubeCobra so I can have it automatically pull in my testing list. Gosh, I love Lucky Paper.

    In a world without Commander, I could make a 60-card rabbit deck with multiple copies of all the rabbit tribal cards just from a couple drafts and prize packs. It'd be a reasonable deck, easy to introduce someone to the game with, and quite resonate with new players. Now I'd give it to someone...

    So I support this exact deck in my relatively high powered Cube (especially for Riptide standards) and it's a real deck. Norin is great for a dozen reasons, but yeah, having another strong legend for the deck at 1MV is excellent, and I love being able to get extra cast triggers in situations...

    Article [Lucky Paper] Cube Retrospective for 2024 Standard Rotation

    Going through my own personal retrospective is not a total surprise. NEO and MID were huge sets for me at the time, but I am happy to have lowered my Cube and have taken out the swath of dragons Kamigawa brought us as well as the Day/Night cards I was initially jazzed for from Midnight Hunt. On...

    Sets [DMH] Duskmourn: House of Horror

    Untimely Malfunction I dislike the aesthetics of this one more than most of this set, but goodness, that's a ton of flexibility! I'm currently running the under-appreciated Cast into the Fire and this feels way more exciting as the first redirect effect that has enough utility that it will...

    Question fellow Riptiders: is this what finally makes me break singleton for the first time in a decade? Secondly, I hate these lands...but I'm considering putting them in my Land Box for Cube because I know some of my players are degenerates and would think they're funny.

    If you're doing the Alchemy version of Symmetry Sage, it's certainly the "better" card, but I still like everything Stormchaster's Talent does. Sage is going to help drive it home real hard though that UR prowess is a real deck though, where Stormchaser's Talent may get picked up by random Blue...

    Lovely aesthetic in this set. Much lower in terms of total inclusions for me compared to most sets in the last few years, but I'm very happy with what we got. As a reminder, the context I'm coming from is a 720-card Cube that's Legacyish power-level that has mostly fair Magic. All comes out to...
