Agreed with all about the disappointment to this set. The Good: :pogchimp: Jumpstart is an excellent format, particularly for newer players. More of it (the real one, not the set-specific ones) is a big boon to Magic. I like many of the themes and hope to grab a couple games with this...

If only white 3s weren't the most competitive slot in cube!! It's far too slow for my environment but it's a sweet, swingy effect that my players would adore if the knobs could just be adjusted so.

For anyone feeling burnt out, this is a really, really cool set to play limited for. I can't encourage it enough as a way to rekindle that love of the game.

The Hipsters of the Coast analysis here is the definitive one, as much as I appreciate the headlines that the Bank of America analysis has brought about. I do think BofA's topline notion of the current printing policies being short-sighted is right but beyond that I think it just leans into the...

This is a nice kick in the pants to update my CubeCobra for the new set, and force me to make the cuts I was previously unwilling to. My write-up for the set is in-progress, gotta finish it now!

My playgroup likes equipment way too much so they would get excited by this card and lose because they got blown out twice with it in the same game. And then do it again. It ended up feeling like a trap, so I took it out.

Great choices, Pete -- very interested to see how Emergency Weld does for you, as it's the first time we've gotten an unconditional raise dead and a creature for 2 or fewer mana. The fact that the creature is an artifact, and that it can get back artifacts as well, brings it more in-line with a...

Wow, I must like this set a lot more than the bunch of y'all -- this is one of my top 5 sets for cube, in terms of additions right off the bat. Current inclusion plans: Autonomous AssemblerLoran of the Third PathRecommissionRecruitment OfficerSanwell, Avenger AceSoul PartitionPlatoon...

Development anxiety - This ability only resolves once per turn.

I was super uninterested in this last night when I first saw it, but then I woke up with a realization that I have 98 humans for Champion of the Parish and also exactly 98 artifacts. Ooh. Does green want this as much as white? No. Does it annoy me that this card has the unnecessarily wordy "if...

If this were at 4 MV, it'd be one of my favorite cards of the decade.

Could this have deathtouch too? Pleeeeease? I'm asking for a lot, but this is two good incremental abilities that nearly make an ideal nexus card between archetypes -- why not three???

Agreed wholeheartedly here. I'm absolutely jamming Mishra's Research Desk but couldn't quite get there on Experimental Synthesizer because it lacks the flexibility the Desk provides. Two points that I also want to emphasize about the second ability on top of its ability to hold the cards "in...

Came here just to post this -- what!? THANK YOU FOR THIS SET. EDIT: In my excitement upon seeing the above Izzet card, I neglected to give the rest a proper look-over. Apparently that's not the end of the sweet commons and uncommons unceremoniously dropped this Monday morning! I can handle an...

I'm a big fan of low MV legendary creatures with reasonable stat-lines, even if it's just from an aesthetic perspective. Just look at these beauties already spoiled!! This feels way cooler than assembling the Weatherlight crew imo, I actually would be happy to play with all of these cards...

HERE IT IS FOLKS, THE WHITE 3 DROP WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ALL THIS TIME:

Damn, they really keep making Saheeli cards I want to play. I'm constantly juggling between all three of them and this is only going to make it worse! Both versions of the art are great too!

On one hand, I adore all of the old frame reprints we're getting here, as well as the classic-framed basic lands -- for the first time in well over a decade! There's over a dozen cards I'm going to be able to happily swap into my cube for MA: Maximum Aesthetic. MAXIMUM AESTHETIC REALIZED On...

Those are both very good additions. The readability of the bottom is also excellent. The rest? A matter of taste, and the flavor of these new frames -- they're not for me.

Original set logo is so so so important to me, I get that. I'm trying to replicate my cube on CubeCobra with the original set expansion just so I can run proper analysis on my cube and its representation of Magic history but I make the task harder on myself by 1) replacing every card I humanly...
