I'm in the same boat. Completely missed that one on full spoiler, but I've been seeing it in Limited and like it just fine. If the activations were instant-speed, it'd be a slam dunk, but it's still got legs, I think.

The CubeCobra playtest data is pretty accurate for me....but that's probably because of how regularly I draft my Cube online when I have a free minute (and a huge thanks to my favorite MtG Pro Dom Harvey for occasionally showing me how to actually draft my Cube!). I have three observations from...

I tried to queue up to grab the Secret Lair with Storm for my Cube today. No such luck. Not really interested in spending $70 on the secondary market for a marginal card in my list, even if she's the most compelling RUG card yet for a singleton draft format IMO. I could proxy her, but then I'd...

Mischievous Mystic Flying Whenever you draw your second card each turn, create a 1/1 blue Faerie token with flying. This is pretty close to my perfect Magic card, if you removed the +1/+1 counter part or made it a little harder to do without making the card wordier (to avoid the enabler +...

the key art for the set is the Akira slide would be totally fine as a card, but as the *key art* of the expansion? the thing that kids shows were riffing off 15 years ago? also I previously worked with the art director for the set professionally for a few years. he doesn't really give me...

to me, the set symbol is worse than dedicating a whole expansion to Spiderman we can't even get magic-themed worlds without them being obnoxious tropes, and this is coming from the guy who liked MKM and OTJ more than most

Well shoot, now I need to get a copy of Scrapyard Recombiner

How often is this going to be minimum 3 cards for 3 mana? I like the idea of it but it seems like it'll be Divination too frequently.

Wow, I love these new designs. The power level on all of them is more fair than what my environment normally would support but....I'm going to see what I can do here to make some of them work.

This is really not too far off from being playable in my high power level Cube, honestly. We've never gotten a 4mv instant speed draw 3, and this is it in a good amount of my blue decks. I just took out Gravecrawler, which hurt me greatly, because I realize I no longer run very many zombies...

Goodbye Young Pyromancer

I love this for medium powered lists

Ohohoho I want to play this card SO BADLY. Time to work on ramping up my discard theme EVEN MORE to do it (plus!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these character-focused basics!)

Entering through standard is extremely good. The marginal number of people it upsets is close to zero, because so few people play standard. And now, new players can enter standard tournaments with their mono-Spiderman decks and not completely have a bad time. Win-win for the format. Win for...

We got stuff from like 3 different sets today, neat! Foundations panel is soonish

Today is also our first look at the Final Fantasy set! But yeah, the philosophy behind Foundations almost sounds like WotC is making a Cube set of their own, a "greatest hits" styled base set for all their expansions to rotate around.

My playgroup was delighted to break singleton for African Swallow and European Swallow, but yeah, CubeCobra doesn't currently support it, or if they do, I haven't figured it out yet!

I just (re-)added a small discard sub-theme into my Cube with the following cards, and I'm so happy I did. Feels like a reasonable contender and the cards are totally fine in a variety of decks, even at my relatively high power-level. Hostile Investigator The Raven Man Smallpox Davriel, Rogue...

Because they choose the flavorful option when it makes the most sense, especially for one-off designs. Target audience of these is suspected to be NYCC attendees; they'll understand that Wolverine "regenerates" even if they don't play Magic, but tapping him and making him temporarily...
