I imagine people doing scryfall searches in the middle of the match, pessimist that I am. I think I'll be trying Trigger Happy, I haven't seen anything too egregious that it can do, it doesn't seem too unwieldy to make rulings on, and it's a very open-ended interesting card that also pushes...

I don't really care to copy paste my reply from the previous thread too much. I am very undecided about Necron Deathmark however, a card I didn't include in that post. It's finally another black card with flash, which I've been waiting for ever since Ikoria pretended it was going to be a thing...

Tallness is an objective measurement. When you call a card overrated, you presume to know the criteria by which those people rate cards, which is wholly subjective. Which, to reiterate, I think is something that can be done with a generally high degree of accuracy, I just don't like that...

I don't think payoff was being equated to viability here. And if it was, I don't think it should have been. Viability only counteracts complexity in the sense that format staples are more likely to already be understood by magic players.

are you really "trying out" a card if you're shaving its mana cost in half I might cube Opening Ceremony since it's a storm enabler.

the idea that cards can be under-rated or over-rated suggests that cubes are normalized enough that you can make generalized statements about how the majority of the community wants their cubes to function which is probably fairly accurate but I would still like to object to it

I guess that's one way to get around changelings.

I don't much care for silliness for the sake of it, I enjoy predictable rules interactions, and the aesthetic of the set competes with Battlebond in terms of how little I like it, so my personal expectations for this set are very low. Exchange of Words is a pretty neat card, but the art looks...

It's a characteristic-defining ability like changeling so it should work. Not that I would call "etb tapped and spend 1 mana" "free".

You play the enchantment, put the etb trigger on the stack, then have your opponent point out the static ability kills all of your X/1 creatures before the trigger resolves.

Those two, painlands, filter lands and snarls.

I can very much imagine a token player casting The Flesh is Weak and wrathing their entire board because of how poorly the card is designed. Not something I'd recommend putting in your cube. Triumph is at worst a 5/5 lifelink for 2 which while seriously overstatted, is not as swingy as a lot of...

Triarch Praetorian is cool, high ceiling/high floor/promotes synergy is the trifecta I look for. Combos with Unearth/Can't Stay Away/Rafinne's Reclamation, can be entombed with Goblin Engineer just like Scrapheap Scrounger for aggressively slanted artifact decks. Poxwalker is pretty easy to...

I believe that only applies to UB cards released as secret lairs to deal with complaints about gameplay exclusivity primarily. I don't think they're going to provide an in-universe equivalent for the entire lotr set they're making, for instance.

what's the penalty for breaking the rule

I was going to say sharpie out the non-human clause of mutate.

Oh right, I forgot all about the supplemental sets this time around. Doesn't seem to actually be anything exciting there though, Moira, Urborg Haunt is kind of neat as an aggro-sac hybrid something, but probably too unreliable. Shame she doesn't work with discarded/milled cards. The Mana Rig is...

I like worldbuilding, larger-than-life descriptions of tragedy, and visceral edgelord power fantasies. The seer's parables as a whole is great, and one of my favorite things about Kamigawa are all the flavor text of written letters that describe the tensions between the different people of...

I like meteors.

Will find ways to include Leyline Binding Founding the Third Path Cult Conscript Shadow Prophecy The Elder Dragon War Twinferno Llanowar Greenwidow Mostly just a rehash of the spoiler thread considering I got most of the spoilers so early. Leyline Binding, Shadow Prophecy and Llanowar...
