Guilty as charged!

Look, as funny as it is to run Dark Depths as a super team buff... OK, actually, no, that's funny as hell. I'm more annoyed because it counts Battles and Planeswalkers, which both start with a bunch of counters by design. Funny Hydra Lady actually likes invading random planes with the...

Honestly, I like that MH3 isn't chock-full of stuff for the people who are already eating good (in the cube context, at the very least). Don't worry, we'll get plenty of cards that work well with more traditional cube archetypes in the *checks notes* three sets that we're going to get after MH3...

There is a part of me that thirsts for this nonsense. Gleaming Fleshwarper - {2}{c} Creature - Eldrazi Drone Whenever you cast a colorless spell, create an Eldrazi Spawn token. Whenever another colorless creature enters the battlefield under your control, ~ deals 1 damage to each opponent...

That's because, to use Fire//Ice as an example, there's a "layout" value in the JSON that cards are stored as. "is:split" is actually just a search for cards with "layout":"split". They don't, actually! If a card's layout says that a card has multiple "parts", there's a special "card_faces"...

I love how the cadence of the Messenger's flavortext is literally a cheer. Petition to rename the card Emrakul's Cheerleader.

"{T}: Add {W}. Create a 1/1 Soldier token." (It's 3am and I can't sleep.)

Perpetuum Mobile should probably be "the first activated ability that isn't a mana ability you activate each turn", otherwise tapping a land for mana uses up the cost reduction...

One nice thing about only playing the land MDFCs is that don't technically need to ever unsleeve them — just tell everyone that they're spells that you can play as taplands that make the corresponding color, and then trust to layout to carry the day. My favorites of the day: Reckless...

This seems pretty good in slower formats. This seems good in faster formats. ... One nice thing about the new MDFC duals is that you can run them alongside the old etb tapped MDFC lands and run into minimum confusion because, hey, they're all spells that you can also play as a tapped land...

Behold, the guy: A 3/3 for {2}{G} isn't a bad floor, but it's so dang versatile once you get past that. Turn your value 1-drop into a 3/3 beater that leaves a 3/3 behind when it dies! Upgrade a token in a similar fashion! Debuff villain's creatures by turning them into vanilla 3/3s that give...

The search I gave you actually does find morph cards like Akroma. Annoyingly, an earlier search string I tried did find suspend cards and prototype cards, but I broke that trying to be clever (I was trying to filter out cascade cards and Eldrazi with cast triggers...) ... Just in case anyone...

Unfortunately there isn't an easy way of doing that short of manually going through all of the cards that cost 8+ mana (which isn't actually that bad - there are only a couple hundred of them and the cards that do what you want are pretty obvious). This is a side-effect of how the Scryfall team...

Who needs self-mill when you've got... Faithless Looting Cathartic Reunion Thrilling Discovery and a ton of instants/sorceries?

A bit slow and clunky, but if we're talking about the STOP, BOROS FUN POLICE side of things: Searing Meditation It's kinda weird that we don't get more Boros cards that are "distinctly white effect + distinctly red effect". Like, where's my Stone Rain that tutors up a Plains if villain still...

Hey, Brad, do you want a 9 drop that puts 19 power on the board and draws you two cards? Seems like a nice little guy.

It goes infinite with so damn many cards, and generates infinite colorless mana on the way: Ghost Lantern Sadistic Glee Blade of the Bloodlord Tarrian's Soulcleaver These are just the one mana options...

There's also this little guy: Basking Broodscale If I had a nickel for every green common in MH3 that's OK on its own but goes off if you can repeatedly put +1/+1 counters on them, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

Thinking about it... I'm not sure if the perfect Trap Cube would even be possible, especially if you're trying to be sneaky about it (AKA not just stuff obvious stuff like "there's only one Sliver in the cube"). You'd want to do something like: Include cool build-arounds but keep the density...

Wumpus Aberration Writhing Chrysalis T2 Nest Invader into either of these guys would be pretty sweet.
