Your cube was the starting point for mine - I cloned, cut below 450, then added back up - and this is funny to me because I did the same thing with Ajani, Nacatl Pariah, and upon going back to yours now, you have too!

Oh, and I'm making a separate post to complain: Headliner Scarlett is already overdue to lose my personal fight club to a weaker card with normal art and borders. I won't replace her with Amber Gristle O'Maul, but the instant they give me something at 3R that is even close to Scarlett, I'm out...

Cosmogrand Zenith Based on exactly one MODO beta Sealed event, the power level on this one is as high as I expected, sheesh. If someone's looking to really push the "second spell" thing, this is absolutely where you want to go.

There's definitely a spectrum from "real looking" to "fake looking" but it's a pretty broad one. Selecting entirely from my cube... Normal Lazav and/or every Magic: the Gathering card from 1993-2020 -> Samwise Gamgee -> Senu, Keen-Eyed Protector -> Lazav With Cowboy Hat -> Poxwalkers ->...

Going deep on this one. I already have a "historic/legendary matters" subtheme and I loved the Kethis, the Hidden Hand combo deck in Standard, so I'm trying out adding a few cards to get most of that deck into the cube: we've got Mox Amber, Rona, Herald of Invasion, Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler...

Having never seen that before, it's actually a pretty cool design - although I wish it used counters so you could proliferate it (coolness counter confirmed for standard legal in 2028?!)

Right now, nothing. Soon... I have no idea. I might, or might not, end up with 10 cards from this set in my cube. I have zero idea how to evaluate almost everything. But nothing jumps out at me.

Ognis, the Dragon's Lash Sonic the Hedgehog Shadow the Hedgehog

Of the two, I'd prefer Claws, because it lets me get the card while I'm hating on the graveyard... but, for the same reason, my actual selection might end up being Relic of Progenitus? Depending on how many cares-about-bauble-and-graveyard things you have. There's a surprisingly large number of...

meh, still lets them block once, so it's no Sleep Magic / Bind the Monster, etc

I think it's going to end games relatively regularly in retail, though it's strange that it really would like to give itself haste so you have to play it a land drop later than you otherwise would. If Spacecraft are going to be at all playable, this format's going to be sloooooooooow and...

...uncommon.

Also this set has - so far! - exile wrath, UB wrath, toughness X or less wrath, half-wrath-half-insurrection... and we got two of these today and I hadn't seen the third yet.

Look. I know I keep saying it's The Stuffy Doll Set. I know. But.

I don't actually know how much better "surveil 1, then draw 2" is than "draw 2", but I think it's a fair amount? Losing 1 life instead of 2 is whatever, but the surveil makes it like draw 2.5 most of the time, since you usually either actively want land or actively want nonland, right?

...this really is "the Stuffy Doll set", huh? Wild. Noteworthy to me and nobody else: this says "draw another card", a phrase which previously has been on exactly two commander cards and one un-card. (good luck getting that card tag to work properly, self) Wonder if that'll be the standard...

Don't forget Guiding Voice if you want to be doing that! Everyone gets so focused on Learning a Lesson that they forget it can just be a rummage. (I was briefly playing Feather, the Redeemed on Arena.)

so yes, but also, this has some real "we printed half a split card" energy

It also has 2 toughness, which means you can Recruiter of the Guard for it! It's the perfect printed size to work with almost everything.

Some cool stuff from the stream today:
