New Secret Lair basic cycles! We've actually been pretty sparse on these in 2023 compared to the last two years, and I have to say, these are both excellent. While I don't prefer full-art, both the Sumi-e and pixel art styles really take advantage of the verticality. The Plains and the Swamp...

Just like his dad, he gets spoiled with a new artifact trinket token that's not explained on the card. I'm gonna include him pretty much no matter what map tokens do, seems good. Not terribly motivated by my current Selesnya section, and I'd not be terribly embarrassed to run just the white...

Honestly I lost my mind when I saw these. How could they have possibly skipped over these in the preview panel? That Plains is an all-timer, and the forest isn't half-bad either. I adore the MesoAmerican styling on the mana symbols too, these are real neat.

Wrote an article about the Cube Rejects at CubeCon 2023, wish I were joining some of y'all! Who's going, btw?

I'm so mad at myself for loving all these dinosaurs... New Ghalta is a tier 2 reanimation target for sure but gets me so excited. I may have to boot worthier cards for my third version of him. Kind of sad the Ian Malcom card is not very good and hard to grasp on first read, but my cube is...

Honestly, this art makes me want to add this back in.

Getting eviscerated on Reddit for this from people who think anything positive about Universes Beyond is a sin against all sins, but this is an article more trying to uncover the "why" of Doctor Who from a business POV when it doesn't seem to be a good choice for UB at first blush. MtG and...

Yeah, you get a 2/2 and a food every turn. Is that better than 2 1/1s? I think so, on average.

Honestly, the Archon is way too strong compared to your other top-end, forget the other demon! I run Griselbrand and recently cut Archon of Cruelty for being too strong. With the mana cost, it's easier to play without cheating, and doesn't have the same dramatic downside to drawing cards that...

Appreciate the perspective. I also have my qualms about both the artwork and the silver border, but we're already off the deep end as far as I'm concerned and this isn't significantly more offensive to me than many other cards I've been considering/testing/including.

Baby Grave Titan. The green "bits and bobs" deck with Tough Cookie et all is really coming together! A 4/4 for 4 that finishes the turn with two tokens and more upside if it lives? I'll probably get flying tokens 50% of the time, but with how many token-matters cards I've been adding lately, I...

Up until I moved to Scotland, I cubed roughly monthly with a group 25ish people with regular attendance around half that number. I haven't cubed for a year now (except during the holiday back in the States), but I've been happy to keep up my cube because besides the practical use of it, as I've...

Ogre Chitterlord Ogre Chitterlord is one of the "Jumpstart-only" (read: set/collector booster-only because they rightfully cancelled the set-specific Jumpstart sets) cards that I somehow completely overlooked before. This is a perfect card for my reject/championship league cube's power-level, a...

There's dozens of infinite combos with Agatha's Soul Cauldron in EDH, yeah. If you're running Spike Feeder already for any shenanigans or like making opportunities for dumb interactions, it's really strong and can go infinite nearly on accident. I'm including it just as a value engine. There's...

Huh. It's not a bad pick, I dunno why I hadn't considered it. I'll pick up a copy for testing, thank you!

As someone who runs at least one card for every 3-color combo (because my cube is 720 cards and therefore I can/must), I'm eager for a better Bant card. I'm currently on Shanna, Purifying Blade, and I was excited about Brenard when he was first spoiled, but then I realized he's essentially just...

Staff of the Storyteller is definitely the premiere version of this kind of effect but I want to shout out Chivalric Alliance again in this thread as good token support that does a similar thing to Norn's Wellspring. Your tokens may die when attacking, but you can hold up tricks or effects with...

I have wanted to get Dragon tribal going in my Cube as a small sub-theme that only takes up 2-3 slots (plus substituting a few roughly equal cards in to up the density of the creature type). It all started when Boneyard Scourge was printed in the 2017 Commander decks, and seemed like a super fun...

No love for Cleanup Crew?? Cleanup Crew They certainly...clean up.

Greymond, Avacyn's Stalwart Is anyone planning to play with Greymond, Avacyn's Stalwart? When it was first printed as Rick, Steadfast Leader, the Walking Dead version of the card was relatively more powerful, but I don't think it's been outclassed that much, even if one does not run much human...
