I mentioned this in another thread, but I'm looking to probably swap it out for Dewdrop Cure, not because it's better but because it's easier to read. I'm also not mad about how well it plays with the trio of Hangarback Walker, Marketback Walker, and Walking Ballista, even if it's a non-bo with...

The thing with Burning-Tree is that it only is a value engine in such narrow situations in the first place that adding another requirement to that makes it a bust at that goal. That's been my experience, at least. Flamecache Gecko was only really played in decks that wanted to discard a bunch of...

@Seeker and I are on pretty much the same page here. My Cube is 60% bigger, and I have 80% more cards from the set still in Cube a year later -- mostly the same ones. I'm still playing all of my top three "instant all-stars" from last July: Jacked Rabbit Stormchaser's Talent Scavenger's Talent...

Some basic lands that are of particular interest for my land box: The Appa in this land seems dissonant with the rest of the piece, which is probably my biggest complaint, but it's a theme of this Mountain. The lens flare is a bit too much here. I don't think mixing the photo-realistic...

Got really annoyed that r/MagicTCG removed my SCD posts for these cards because they don't think they have any relevance to constructed. Why can't I just have a place to discuss new cards? I thought the main subreddit was supposed to be the biggest picture MtG discussion, who cares how...

I had it in my Cube for a few months, I took it out once I finally gave up on my beloved Reveillark since it hadn't seen a main deck once anyways. It's actually a sweet design, kind of sad it didn't work out.

None of the bending mechanics seem interesting, but some of the individual cards do. I love Untimely Malfunction and have been hoping for more affordable redirects. They play so well in Cube, and a 1MV one is really the dream here to make Red more interesting. Redirect Lightning gets there, I...

yet again an alchemy card whose existence is frustrating since I'll never be able to run it I love it. only real issue is that it looks like it goes infinite easily (and does) but I worry folks would assume that it's in there for that reason -- I know I would

I love the Surveil love we've been getting. It's too bad Elminster doesn't include both terms, since I'd be somewhat interested in him if he did. Good call on the Pokémon cards, @Seeker. There's actually quite a lot of them I'd be fine running and would be fun to try out for a one-off. I've...

I just have 720 cards. It's a great means of variety, and lets me have 16 people when needed -- something that used to be necessary all the time, and now is only once a year or so.

does that mean it's finally time to bring back my boy Sheltering Ancient Sheltering Ancient sure, it doesn't work if they have no creatures, which is a big downside, but it's even bigger

It plays out well online. Jammed a ton of Arena during that set. It's a bit clunky in person, more memory issues. You do get used to it, but as much as it did work gameplay-wise, I'd be happier to never Cube with it, even in a LotR-centric environment. There are like 4-5 cards I would be...

Today I actually just made the hard choice to add Novice Inspector. I don't like duplicates in my Cube because the variety is the point. Having Fyndhorn Elves as well as Llanowar Elves and Elvish Mystic never has bothered me as much, but for many years, I did actually avoid running more than one...

As someone who has had to plan out these kinds of product releases in the past, I want to be sympathetic, but also, from a marketing POV, they should've known it was going to be impossible to avoid lots of Spiderman engagements at SDCC. I personally think companies overvalue timing their...

I run and love the heck out of Value Breach. While you're shuffling up, you can talk about individual cards like that. I'm glad you're interested in Snort, I love it. I know most burn spells are a bit boring, but ay I also recommend Dead / Gone and Fire Magic? Dead / Gone Fire Magic Being...

As I've said many times on these forums, my favorite way to "test" out the Cube is to do a bunch of sample drafts on CubeCobra, particularly now that the bots are upgraded (I no longer wheel Ocelot Pride and Chaos Defiler) and it seems more attuned to my Cube's play style and power level. My...

I cannot tell you how much I simultaneously respect this and it makes me sad. It's legitimately one of my favorite designs of the last few years. I myself took out Headliner Scarlett recently for aesthetics, and a little bit for power-level. I get the feeling she'll come back in, but...

Lightstall Inquisitor Haliya, Guided by Light Umbral Collar Zealot Kavaron Harrier Rust Harvester Tannuk, Steadfast Second Ouroboroid Dauntless Scrapbot Biotech Specialist Not too hot on this set overall, but my Cube is 720 cards so there's usually more than a few things I end up trying out...

Unless it's a clerical error from WotC, this allows you to have your opponent's creature for both sides of the deal -- even the same creature. It's essentially a kill spell, so long as the creature doesn't have at least 2 toughness more than its power. I don't really like the color pie break...

Neat cards from the final dump -- they saved some of their most interesting designs for the end as far as I'm concerned. I love a good 3MV reanimation spell. The cost on this is a little steeper than I'd like considering it limits what it brings back, but I have enough trinkets running around...
