Skrelv's Hive has too much going on, a great tragedy. Toxic's not spelled out, Poison isn't supported in my cube, etc. I would have certainly played the card if it simply made 1/1 tokens that can't block for a life a turn without any other abilities, but unless I go into poison (a very unlikely...

correct.....I made this mistake during spoilers too......

Cube Miss: Alchemy & Overly-Complex Cards Alchemy wasn't even popular enough to justify the amount of time I spent thinking about it (I've got some infographics coming out soon to represent just how deeply unpopular Alchemy is) but think about it I did. I know it's silly to think about "what...

Note: been trying to post this for a while and it hasn't been working, so here we go trying it in two parts Excellent episode, I've been recently obsessed with catching up on Lucky Paper episodes from the past since I had somehow avoided actually listening to it for this long while being a...

all my friends are deer

Agreed with @blacksmithy - it's a cool card for draft, and when it was first spoiled and looked like a 5/3, I thought it'd be an easy include for me, but I don't think 4 power and two toughness for 4 across two bodies is all that interesting, and competes poorly with other commons from recent...

It's a matter of your playgroup, really. Do you like your friends? Or do you like Magic?

Full spoiler is up, very happy about these joining the ranks of the classic border: Also, nice to have this in a non-pringled readable edition: Cool set!

Got curious and decided to look at the Alchemy spoilers this week. Did any of you know this was happening, or are they as bad at marketing this game as I think they are? Anyways, there are some legitimately interesting design elements here that still fall under the umbrella of bad design held...

Yeah, the archetypes are across the board the most popular cube archetypes from ~10 years ago, seems like an absolute blast to draft.

I'm really enjoying these old-bordered reprints. Some stuff that I'm going to nab for sure: Particularly excited about Sevinne's Reclamation here, but also for what Pashalik Mons represents. I thought they would be sticklers about the expansions that took place on Dominaria instead of just...

I've got a full essay I want to (and might) write about this, but wow do I have a lot of feelings about the basic land choices here. 1. These look great. I love the old border as a rule, but on basic lands that's even more true. While I've seen some complain about the BRC basics having far...

Agreed with all about the disappointment to this set. The Good: :pogchimp: Jumpstart is an excellent format, particularly for newer players. More of it (the real one, not the set-specific ones) is a big boon to Magic. I like many of the themes and hope to grab a couple games with this...

If only white 3s weren't the most competitive slot in cube!! It's far too slow for my environment but it's a sweet, swingy effect that my players would adore if the knobs could just be adjusted so.

For anyone feeling burnt out, this is a really, really cool set to play limited for. I can't encourage it enough as a way to rekindle that love of the game.

The Hipsters of the Coast analysis here is the definitive one, as much as I appreciate the headlines that the Bank of America analysis has brought about. I do think BofA's topline notion of the current printing policies being short-sighted is right but beyond that I think it just leans into the...

This is a nice kick in the pants to update my CubeCobra for the new set, and force me to make the cuts I was previously unwilling to. My write-up for the set is in-progress, gotta finish it now!

My playgroup likes equipment way too much so they would get excited by this card and lose because they got blown out twice with it in the same game. And then do it again. It ended up feeling like a trap, so I took it out.

Great choices, Pete -- very interested to see how Emergency Weld does for you, as it's the first time we've gotten an unconditional raise dead and a creature for 2 or fewer mana. The fact that the creature is an artifact, and that it can get back artifacts as well, brings it more in-line with a...

Wow, I must like this set a lot more than the bunch of y'all -- this is one of my top 5 sets for cube, in terms of additions right off the bat. Current inclusion plans: Autonomous AssemblerLoran of the Third PathRecommissionRecruitment OfficerSanwell, Avenger AceSoul PartitionPlatoon...
