I realized this after gushing so much about Syr Ginger in the Eldraine thread, but holy heck, I've played or tested all the 2-MV 3-power artifact creatures without downsides. These are all great cards and I love having artifact creatures in my Cube that go into every deck, it makes for a lot...

Oh my god, she's perfect. I am always in the search of more artifact creatures that people actively want to play, and this is better than I could've hoped. Support legendary matters? Yep. Hits like a brick? Yep. Only 2 mana? Yep. Incidental planeswalker hate? Always a good thing. Artifact...

Day 14: Orcish Bowmasters | Results Maxim Kostin | LTR - 7 votes (50%) Tyler Jacobson | LTR Promo - 7 votes (50%) Our first tie! As mentioned previously, I'm pretty close on these two pieces, so I was not surprised in the least to see the consensus here to be...a non-consensus. Day 15...

Already a half dozen cards I'm almost sure to include, lovely set so far. Mosswood Dreadknight is a dream of a card that I can't wait to play, and the "roles" may be the first "overly-complex-mechanic-made-with-Arena-in-mind" in a while that I may be introducing to my cube depending on how many...

@inscho and @Zoss shared the same article I was just in the process of posting it. That Hipsters of the Coast piece is a pretty good overview for why she was dropped by WotC. Nielsen's rebuttal is also in the article, but I think it's worth posting here as well: I'm pretty confident by her...

cube is the best format prioritizing for the best format is just the logical choice "the health of the game"? "competitive magic"? "alienating people with OP cards and UB"?? ok sure those are cool but if everyone played cube more people would be happy

I wholeheartedly believe that what's good for Cube is good for the game

I'm going to specify that it's about the art going froward, and will make polls with the art crops to encourage folks to vote accordingly -- but will ask folks to share their perspectives on frames/set symbols/etc like I've tried to do in my own commentary. Still open to make changes to that...

I was getting a high ratio of responses that were commenting beyond the art so I kind of leaned into it; open to feedback though

Chivalric Alliance has nothing in common with Pack Rat, IMO. I was on the Chivalric Alliance train from day 1 of seeing the card and I'm very happy with it, though I imagine it'll remain a somewhat late pick for some time. It's something of a trap for my more novice players, but there's a lot...

I'll likely put 2/3 of them into the gold section and 1/3 of them into a mono-colored section, based on anticipated play patterns. It makes it hard to have folks help me sort my cube but is the only way I justify maintaining highly standardized color balance (with two exceptions in my 3-color...

If I were to make custom cube cards, I would definitely start with making "official-looking" versions of these. I wish they had silly drawings like the Mystery Booster ones; I might be willing to pay the extreme prices being asked for them on eBay if they did. I don't remember if I'd ever...

Many of them! The previous two are great examples. I thought my impassioned argument for the LotR version of Battlefield Forge would be strong enough to sway at least one or two of my fellow classic-border-preferrers, but it only got one vote besides myself. Yesterday's as well was a more...

Just from playing a good amount of retail limited, I already added Troll of Khazad-dûm a few weeks ago and have been trying to squeeze in Oliphaunt for just as long. These cards are all so cool and play so well, I can't recommend them enough at literally any power level. I feel like I already...
