    Sequence Cube

    I've been thinking a bit about my land choices, and while I want to emphasize the use of interesting lands, I'm not really sure I gain all that much from it. The Castle Garenbrig ramp archetype is neat, but it probably doesn't provide all that much to my format. I've never really wanted to pick...

    Sequence Cube

    The Sequence Cube (woo!) name and content pending Draft philosophy My goal for the draft is to produce an environment that encourages exploration and creativity, with a significant barrier to entry as a tradeoff. It approaches cube design with a focus more towards cards than decks, by providing...

    General Fight Club

    I don't think any number of artifacts would make me pick Assistant over Raven unless I otherwise have no other artifact synergies, since the Raven can at least do work as a mana dork for affinity cards, a +1 for plating, density for crane, or whatever artifact synergies you have. I wouldn't be...

    I don't know, but I'm trying to find out. I believe it has a lot of potential though.

    Personally speaking, putting down 100 bucks for Gloomhaven feels like a much more reasonable transaction than spending 10 bucks on a Standard staple (or 30), and the amount of fun you get out of that game compared to a single Commander deck just isn't comparable. I've even put down 100 bucks on...

    Definites: Ascendant Packleader: I've been on the lookout for better options for aggressively slanted green 1-drops, and this fits very neatly into my cmc-cheaty cube aspects. Most of the time I expect it to just be a Savannah Lion that becomes a 3/2 in the midgame though, which is also...

    Sets (VOW) Crimson Vow

    Not too much exciting in the last batch, but this is a neat little spell. Not terribly noteworthy, I was just kind of impressed at the power level considering it's a common. really puts dragon rage's channeler into perspective huh

    Not that I think this is a cube card for most, I just don't understand what is happening to Kaya. She had a pretty strong mechanical identity that matched her character, but now I just don't know. What happened to the whole ordeal at Ravnica? Did she suddenly get a knack for necromancy and...

    This is a pretty cool card. I'd consider playing it if it was templated like Mystical Dispute instead of Cleave.

    Sets (VOW) Crimson Vow

    See this is exactly why I get puzzled when you call cards like Red Dragon and Ulvenwald Oddity interesting, as opposed to some other choice word like exciting, impressive, compelling, what have you. Oddity is a strong card that probably plays well and is fun to cast, I just wouldn't call it very...

    Sets (VOW) Crimson Vow

    Yet again I am puzzled by Train's ability to find one of the most generic rate-monsters in the set and highlight it for being an exceptionally interesting card. Weirdest affinity enabler to date. I don't understand why it keys off the number of differently matching card types instead of...

    It's just a reference to an old-ish meme. There's not much else to it, you indicate something by targeting it.

    Yes, it was also a problem 25 years ago during the game's infancy, but there's a pretty long interim period between that. Besides, the older verbose cards generally only do one specific thing that's worded really poorly, modern cards have a lot of text largely because they just do a lot. For...

    Yeah that is kind of what is going on, I'm currently playing around with a pretty high manland density. Why can't we just destroy competitive and have every set be Eldraine, I need my set mechanics to be Adventure pushed in card options.
