Tragic Arrogance in edh. That card is broken. for cube idk, I'm on a Replenish-high as of late, but it would probably not be very good in a lot of cubes.

I feel like once you try to read the actual effects you will realize that they are incongruent with your assumptions of how things should work, which hopefully leads you to reading the rest of the card.

Eidolon of Rhetoric Sigarda's Vanguard Secure the Wastes Supreme Will Dragon Turtle Nimble Obstructionist Harrow Boon Satyr Beast Attack Spell Queller I don't know how necessary it is to support the full curve in the first place though, since your play patterns will usually be heavily peppered...

I feel like there's a lot of synergies that could make it fairly reasonable, but I guess the ugly part of the card is that it works really poorly with cheap creature, since you always want to pump a reasonable amount of mana into the X to ensure you don't miss.

You can consider it less of a question about Survival and more about the merits of Arkbow. I remember it being an exciting card during spoiler season that ended up doing mostly nothing in constructed.

Survival of the Fittest is just silly stupid broken right? Conspiracy Theorist and Containment Construct really makes me want to cube it. It's making me seriously consider Vivien's Arkbow as a redundant Fauna Shaman.

I've finally discovered a group of people who are willing to draft somewhat regularly, which makes me optimistic about the prospect of actually getting around to printing my cube and having it played. Kamigawa update Cobra blog entry in header; I'll touch on some of the more interesting...

Tameshi has a non-creature clause that makes his first ability much harder to build around (outside of just using his second ability obviously).

What are we implying with "best" card here. If we mean "best card for your cube" in terms of what it contributes to the environment, for me it's probably Lizard Blades even though I can't get over the art, and I would argue that Boseiju isn't a particularly good card for cube. If we're talking...

I'd be inclined to agree if we didn't already make a distinction for foxes, wolves and jackals.

Azusa's Many JourneysLikeness of the Seeker I have been thinking about this card lately, and whether it exceeds my DFC threshold. The first two chapters are pretty much whatever, but I like that it introduces the same pattern as The Mirari Conjecture, by going "In two turns, you will have to...

Going to post the art from the set I appreciate, before I post my final stance on the set as a whole. Ancestral KatanaBanishing SlashBrilliant RestorationImperial Recovery Unit Regent's AuthorityRepel the VileVision of the UnspeakableDiscover the Impossible Go-Shintai of Lost...

Dark Confidant and Argothian Enchantress are both nonbos. You don't get priority before it's too late to copy bob, and you can't target enchantress.

Endlessly complain about it for the next decade or so I imagine. uh, let's see Probably some ninjas, idk which Lizard Blades: A solid package of archetype exploration tutorable with Stoneforge Mystic. Voltage Surge: I think I'm more interested in this than Galvanic Blast. Colossal Skyturtle: I...

"Pretty easily" is a bit of an overstatement. You need a weaver, equipped with a bracer, a triggered or activated ability of an enchantment, and a way to counter that ability so you have no way to escape the loop. In other news, I think my biggest consideration for this set will be the ninjas...

well had you not told me I definitely would not have known

I'm pretty sure I'll cube the red fencing ace. I don't like how the art doesn't really look at all like a creature, but double-strike is a solid infect-esque build-around mechanic, it's an artifact creature for all that's worth, it has a very decent floor, and since you can tutor for it with...

Murder is always on the table, even if it might not feel that way. And I think it's more likely that they will make up some way to reverse phyresis than death. Melira might already be able to for all I know. Magic has a lot of environments. Just so we're clear, I was speaking in the context of...

You have all the agency of when you want to cast her and get to use two loyalty abilities before the opponent can react, it's a lot harder to play her into an undesirable condition. Either she gives you two bears you have to get through, or she removes one of your opponent's threats, and you...

I'm imagining wotc trying to write themselves out of that corner. I wish The Wanderer wasn't broken, flash planeswalker would be something I'd be interested in. I'll probably find some cards to include because of the various enchantment and artifact creatures, but so far I kind of just don't...
