Can someone explain to me how the cactusfolk are a native species to the plane if it was previously uninhabited?

And what if the gun is missing?

You should check out the Universes Restored thread.

History of Benalia Crux of Fate Tymaret Calls the Dead Opening it up to theme instead of just tribe makes it difficult to know where to draw the line.

Spotlight Falcon seems like a pretty powerful white top end. The fact that it feeds itself is kind of disgusting. Ominous Lockbox looks like a kind of fun minigame.

Maybe, but I haven't read (watched?) Redwall, so I'll be blissfully ignorant of them.

Not entirely. With colorless I'm trying to make a parallel that more or less is saying "if they receive as much support as ninjas did in mh1, they would be equally if not more viable". I think it's more demanding of your cube to support colorless, but I don't see the central argument of how deep...

In all honesty, while I don't really care for the theme despite owning several volumes of Mouse Guard, I am looking forward to a set that isn't bogged down with the "exploration of tropespace". I'm so incredibly tired of pop culture references.

Appreciate the response. I'm still struggling to understand the lines you're drawing in the sand. The Ninja and Colorless comparison seems pretty relevant to me in this regard. Prior to MH1, ninjas were quite unexciting. I'd wager to say the set doubled the number of reasonable ninjas. Ninjas...

I could, I just don't know what Pre-War Formalwear is even supposed to convey or how it ties into the mechanics of the card in any possibly way. I've considered it, but I feel like they look very unnatural. I also think that if you were more used to the old border artifact look you'd spot it...

I'm a bit confused by this remark. It seems to have effectively communicated the intent, so why does it need to be longer? It's not rules text. (Although you incorrectly assumed it's a triggered ability, if it lost hiding while you still targeted it that would kind of ruin the point. I guess it...

Well, spoilers for this are over. Here's the only card I'm planning to include. I guess Sevinne's Reclamation is leaving. edit: I forgot Vault 21: House Gambit. Not sure how I'll retheme that yet.

I agree that there's a lot of well-deserved hostility towards EDH, I just don't believe that people have a negative disposition towards branching synergies in cube construction because something similar happens when you build around your commander. Finding cards that compliment other cards is an...

I don't really think this design approach is particularly revolutionary or that there's a stigma against EDH that prevents it from being realized, I imagine most people would arrive at something similar if they were given the objective of doing so. I also don't think most people approach cube...

My impression is that this is still mostly the case (which is perfectly fair). It feels like you're trying to rationalize it, but the reasoning behind it doesn't seem to me to be very internally consistent. I'll address them in some semblance of order, but the third part is the most relevant...

Should be noted, a large number of which are drawbacks.

There's nothing particularly surprising about this. Yeah, I really don't want to play with UB cards. That doesn't mean I especially want to play with a universes within Lembas either, most cards just aren't desirable, realistically how many people would actually want Cecily, Haunted Mage, in the...

I feel like Attune With Aether deserves some more respect than being disparagingly called a "Lay the Land variant". 2 energy translates to a +1/+1 counter, +2 spell damage or an entire card, which is a pretty significant upside to staple on a 1-mana card. Seat of the Synod is also really just an...

yes, although that's not really any different from a modern horizons set, or a standard set for that matter.

If Wastes was a land type, the card Wastes, a basic land, would presumably also have the type, which would make it a sixth basic land type, resulting in there now being 6 in the game.
