    General Aesthetics Debate Club: Optimizing Art in Cube (Daily!)

    I'm going to specify that it's about the art going froward, and will make polls with the art crops to encourage folks to vote accordingly -- but will ask folks to share their perspectives on frames/set symbols/etc like I've tried to do in my own commentary. Still open to make changes to that...

    I was getting a high ratio of responses that were commenting beyond the art so I kind of leaned into it; open to feedback though

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Chivalric Alliance has nothing in common with Pack Rat, IMO. I was on the Chivalric Alliance train from day 1 of seeing the card and I'm very happy with it, though I imagine it'll remain a somewhat late pick for some time. It's something of a trap for my more novice players, but there's a lot...

    Sets (WOE) Wilds of Eldraine Spoilers

    I'll likely put 2/3 of them into the gold section and 1/3 of them into a mono-colored section, based on anticipated play patterns. It makes it hard to have folks help me sort my cube but is the only way I justify maintaining highly standardized color balance (with two exceptions in my 3-color...

    If I were to make custom cube cards, I would definitely start with making "official-looking" versions of these. I wish they had silly drawings like the Mystery Booster ones; I might be willing to pay the extreme prices being asked for them on eBay if they did. I don't remember if I'd ever...

    Many of them! The previous two are great examples. I thought my impassioned argument for the LotR version of Battlefield Forge would be strong enough to sway at least one or two of my fellow classic-border-preferrers, but it only got one vote besides myself. Yesterday's as well was a more...

    Just from playing a good amount of retail limited, I already added Troll of Khazad-dûm a few weeks ago and have been trying to squeeze in Oliphaunt for just as long. These cards are all so cool and play so well, I can't recommend them enough at literally any power level. I feel like I already...

    I love to update my cube. I haven't played with my main cube since I moved to Europe last autumn but swapping in and out cards is like maintaining a zen garden to me. It's my meditation. It's my peace. It's my love (beyond the wife and kids, of course).

    Yes, made worse by the promise that Jodie would finally get a chance to have at least one good story arc after the absolute worst season in Modern Who. Jodie is such a delight. The failure in the writing across all three series with her at the center remains one of my greatest frustrations in...

    You're absolutely right, but I can't stand this storyline so much that even if I wanted a second Chandra Four, I'd pick something slightly worse instead.

    This cookie's spoiler was actually what put me over the edge for adding this guy to my cube: Academy Manufactor Though I do think people on Reddit are still under-rating it. It's just a lot of value for 2 mana, and hits hard. Turning every off-hand treasure you get into a beater is something...
