    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    If it had been printed 10 years earlier it would've felt like a cube all-timer and then would've been the most painful cut of my life in era of back-to-back printings of Rabblemaster effects in the mid 2010s.

    still a bit derpy in the face there but certainly a clear upgrade all the same, how exciting!!!

    Sets [2XM] Double Masters Spoilers

    My solution is just to have a clone of my cube that pulls just the first printing of all cards, but it doesn't address the emotional distress I have of figuring out if I want to represent these important Magic cards with the historical art I'm eternally bonded to or the sexy new arts and...

    I couldn't agree more about how delightful the aesthetic is with the flavor bar, @Onderzeeboot, but I'm actually with @Velrun on a strong preference for the OG printing in most circumstances, with many of the same exceptions listed! I've dropped money I really have no business spending...

    Only one new card in the set and it sucks hard my friends: This is the least elegant way to make this card humanly possible, which is awful because it'd be an easy inclusion in my card in literally any other scenario. Also! We have new art! Here are the new arts revealed so far that I...

    Rarity-restricted cubes "sound" fun, and are an easy and affordable way to build a cube. It's immediately easy to understand what is allowed and not allowed, and it does help re: communication with other players to know what they're getting themselves into. In this regard, it's certainly better...

    My "reject cube" what I use as my travel cube -- it's only supposed to be 360 cards, making it much easier to manage than my 720, and much less valuable. I ended up with some repeats from my main because I ended up building it in a hurry for an event and didn't want to have to purchase cards...

    It's weird to have a different commander expansion for a commander set but beyond the immediate confusion I guess I can't complain. Some neat cards today. The best one is the one-sided instant-speed Pyroclasm for 3, which already is an acceptable start -- almost too good of one for how much...

    Sets Battle for Baldur's Gate: Testing and includes

    Looking at 5 cards seriously right now. Most of these will probably make it in, not sure about any of the others, though I am open to a few others. I don't support venturing at all, and don't want to needlessly complicate cube on several vectors to squeeze it in for the two cards I like with the...

    I'm a big anime guy. I'm involved heavily in the community both personally and professionally, and whether it's hosting panels at conventions or trading recommendations with friends, you'll find me. I also raise chickens in my backyard. They're not too much work these days, but I'm working on...

    I'm currently running 3 blue cards that counter non-creature spells: Glen Elendra ArchmageForce of NegationMalevolent Hermit I think the Archmage is the best of this effect in cube, doubling as a creature, being able to be used twice, and forcing your opponents to play around it all makes for...

    White is getting a lot of neat lower-rarity cards this set! Legendary-matters is something I try to support in white, so this is an exciting Regrowth effect in a color that doesn't get too many. Drawing a walker in a self-mill or GY-heavy deck is a more than reasonable result for a two MV...

    Horn of Valhalla seems pretty good. Finale of Glory has been going in and out of my list, and while the 2/2s from that are literally double those made from the adventure side here, I'm not embarrassed by the equipment, which can escape some of the win-more feeling that "for each creature you...

    I'm with you, @LadyMapi -- the design sensibility for this set (and too much of commander-minded Magic) is disappointing. Deckbuilding as a paint-by-numbers experience can be nice for some players and in some instances, but when they simultaneously invalidate more clever solutions, it solves the...

    OK, so we have a 3/3 for 3 that supports aristocrats in the ideal aristocrats colors, who looks like an aristocrat himself. Is this good? Yes. ✅ Triggers off of tokens ✅ Multiple triggers per turn ✅ Efficient stats ✅ Backwards hands HOWEVER ❌ Delayed trigger ❌ Only works on your turn ❌...

    Well, I gotta say, I'm really not a fan in the slightest of the design sensibilities of this set so far (even ignoring Cube), but I found one card I do like: Ignoring the third ability (which is neat but serves a similar role to a PW ultimate imo) this is a cool midrange card that compares...

    I have a fairly powerful cube and I'd probably run it in my 720 if it were a real Magic card, it's a neat design.
