Kain, Traitorous Dragoon I will not be cubing this but it is really funny to me (the rate's not great, since "you" is whoever controls him, so the second time they get the loot...)

it's so weird to me that this is a Serra Avenger and not an Inspiring Vantage, gonna feel awful when you miss your third land drop and then topdeck it on turn four

-> They went IN on the UR noncreature spells theme.

we got a bunch of new spoilers, all kinds of legends blah blah whatever (the gimmick where the Cid card is "you can play any number" and there's one art per Cid is pretty good, I will admit) Behold! Everyone's new favorite cube mechanic! It's just "kicker again":

Think we already had Yuna, definitely didn't have G'raha. also even as the target market for this set - huge FF fan and relatively indifferent towards UB in general because I enjoyed LotR as a set - I totally get it because like... sure, whatever, I like this IP, but it doesn't really feel like...

they don't do it often, but they certainly have a history of using that phrase: Memory Deluge Manaform Hellkite so this would naturally fit also, Hildibrand! Flavor fits. Love the Gentle Dead Man token. I'm the target market - won't be cubing it because I think that Mosswood Dreadknight...

We never did get a straight answer out of him whether they tested BBBBBBB as the casting cost. Like, I get that Reanimate et al. care about the mana value, but still.

it's my girl Shantotto! Google Lens has produced a translation that surely has the correct name and flavor text: edit: also you know this set is gonna be fire because 1) it is already the best-selling set of all time, preorders only (as in it's outsold everything else before even hitting...

Picking cards that both my current self and my 2005-self* liked: Oversold Cemetery Patriarch's Bidding That said, the latter is basically unplayable with how many cards have received creature type updates these days, and the former's the exact kind of grindy card advantage engine I try to not...

DFCs make this way less interesting! My list per color is Kytheon, Tamiyo (second place Jace), Fable (second place Kumano Faces Kakkazan), Nissa... okay, Necromancy has more than Liliana, that's at least funny. Multicolored is Dennick over Emet-Selch, Unsundered, so again, boring. Agatha's Soul...

given the existence of Triton Wavebreaker (and/or the token from Stormchaser's Talent), I am forced to conclude that 5 is the correct cost for Monastery Mentor Mentor and this is undercosted in return for being legendary

I still don't think Alchemy cards are real, but on the other hand, look, it's Monastery Mentor Mentor

well that's just "egregious outliers" except a specific callout (honestly I think I ran into that example here some months back and it's stuck with me)

As a friend of mine also pointed out when he saw it, it's definitely horseshoe theory in action, the higher-power you go in the 5 bracket the more you wrap right back around to 1. Black Lotus is absolutely clown shoes.

this site does not have bluesky integration as far as I can tell so here's a fantastic troll post that I took a few seconds to crosspost to imgur:

there are dozens of us! dozens! (for what it's worth I'm pretty close to breaking down and just doing customs for those four)

Mardu Devotee Primarily in a pauper/peasant context, but this thing is absolutely insane compared to how totally garbage I thought it was day one of the format. Raphael Levy is forcing Boros nonstop in draft and wow, scry 2 on a (mediocre but not 1/1) body, plus the fixing? I think it's got...

as someone who has always regretted not taking linguistics classes in college (with a passing interest in Proto-Indo-European, always super interesting to read etymologies), I am tickled pink that some Final Fantasy leaks led to this discussion, carry on

While this isn't the most likely suggestion to actually happen, they also work well with the new Sultai mythic: Teval, Arbiter of Virtue Can't imagine it's a thing you want to be doing specifically here, because Teval actively punishes you for cheating in expensive things, but someone might want...

Oh, did they? That's... well, I'm sure there wasn't enough demand to make Portuguese if they say there wasn't, but I would have expected English then, I guess.
