    The Penny Pincher Cube 2.0--Inventors' Fair

    I've had Thespian's Stage in my ULD pile for a while and I get asked a whole lot whether Dark Depths is also the cube (it isn't). It's unfortunate that the card is so cool but all its other functions have been overshadowed by that interaction.

    I've been running the swords without protection for a while now and they have been fine, although I think people undervalue them in their current state.

    Pelt Collector is also pretty cool but Experiment One being a Human means it's going to get the nod over it.

    I don't think the errata is for power level issues, more memory problems.

    The MaRo article today says that this is the end of the Bolas arc. They wanted a popular place to set it so that players were invested in the story, but also didn't want to go to Ravnica without having guild sets, so that's why we've got three sets in a row: half the guilds, the other half...

    General Sunk Cost Fallacy and the impact on the evolution of cube design

    It's been linked around here before but Jesse Mason has written a series on his blog where he reviews every Magic block from Alpha to Theros (http://blog.killgold.fish/ under Kill Reviews on the right). He talks about limited for the sets that he drafted or was aware of, but also goes into...

    The Planar Chaos colour-shifted frames were really good actually, kind of a half-way between modern legibility and older theming. fa'adiyah seer

    I prefer the old border but that's mostly due to nostalgia, as I started playing only shortly before it changed so it represents my very first forays into the game. I also prefer how old border foils look, having the foiling all around the edge makes it stand out a lot more. The old cards look...

    It's weird in that the mechanics sounds a bit uninspired (Flashback but you discard! Scry but it goes to the graveyard! Convoke but it...it's convoke!) but those are all good mechanics anyway so it looks like they'll all play well.

    I think Jump-Start is Retrace but with any card, and the card is exiled instead of discarded. Actually on second reading I don't know whether the card from your hand or the card you're jump-starting is exiled. So it's either Retrace or Flashback but you have to discard a card. Neither sounds...

    How do you put all this together? Are the two cards in the same sleeve? It sounds like an interesting thing to explore.

    Dude, if you want people to help with your weirdly specific request, it wouldn't hurt to be a bit more polite. Why do you need to know which one is newer?

    Eh, I think Battlebond demonstrates they're willing to reprint the casual staples even if that's not the case for Modern and Legacy cards. Doubling Season, Land Tax, Seedborn Muse, Mycosynth Lattice and a few others that were creeping up.
