    General (CLB) Magic: The Gathering: Commander Legends: Dungeons and Dragons: Battle for Baldur's Gate Previews. Even the NAME is long this time!

    My "reject cube" what I use as my travel cube -- it's only supposed to be 360 cards, making it much easier to manage than my 720, and much less valuable. I ended up with some repeats from my main because I ended up building it in a hurry for an event and didn't want to have to purchase cards...

    It's weird to have a different commander expansion for a commander set but beyond the immediate confusion I guess I can't complain. Some neat cards today. The best one is the one-sided instant-speed Pyroclasm for 3, which already is an acceptable start -- almost too good of one for how much...

    Sets Battle for Baldur's Gate: Testing and includes

    Looking at 5 cards seriously right now. Most of these will probably make it in, not sure about any of the others, though I am open to a few others. I don't support venturing at all, and don't want to needlessly complicate cube on several vectors to squeeze it in for the two cards I like with the...

    General Monthly Fun Q: What is your favorite hobby besides Magic?

    I'm a big anime guy. I'm involved heavily in the community both personally and professionally, and whether it's hosting panels at conventions or trading recommendations with friends, you'll find me. I also raise chickens in my backyard. They're not too much work these days, but I'm working on...

    I'm currently running 3 blue cards that counter non-creature spells: Glen Elendra ArchmageForce of NegationMalevolent Hermit I think the Archmage is the best of this effect in cube, doubling as a creature, being able to be used twice, and forcing your opponents to play around it all makes for...

    White is getting a lot of neat lower-rarity cards this set! Legendary-matters is something I try to support in white, so this is an exciting Regrowth effect in a color that doesn't get too many. Drawing a walker in a self-mill or GY-heavy deck is a more than reasonable result for a two MV...

    Horn of Valhalla seems pretty good. Finale of Glory has been going in and out of my list, and while the 2/2s from that are literally double those made from the adventure side here, I'm not embarrassed by the equipment, which can escape some of the win-more feeling that "for each creature you...

    I'm with you, @LadyMapi -- the design sensibility for this set (and too much of commander-minded Magic) is disappointing. Deckbuilding as a paint-by-numbers experience can be nice for some players and in some instances, but when they simultaneously invalidate more clever solutions, it solves the...

    OK, so we have a 3/3 for 3 that supports aristocrats in the ideal aristocrats colors, who looks like an aristocrat himself. Is this good? Yes. ✅ Triggers off of tokens ✅ Multiple triggers per turn ✅ Efficient stats ✅ Backwards hands HOWEVER ❌ Delayed trigger ❌ Only works on your turn ❌...

    Well, I gotta say, I'm really not a fan in the slightest of the design sensibilities of this set so far (even ignoring Cube), but I found one card I do like: Ignoring the third ability (which is neat but serves a similar role to a PW ultimate imo) this is a cool midrange card that compares...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I have a fairly powerful cube and I'd probably run it in my 720 if it were a real Magic card, it's a neat design.

    You may not be crazy...but that idea kinda is. That's a lot of explanation you need to do beforehand, and then again during the draft explaining what the paired background is. It's a lot of complication for not too much upside, as neat as it would be.

    Lots of leaks out, here's some of my favorites so far. Please excuse the photo quality here, I've written down the text as well for everyone's sake. What I like most about Gut is that he doesn’t have to attack himself to get the attack trigger going. A 4/1 menace is significant threat that’s...

    General (NCC) New Capenna Commander Testing/Includes Thread

    We've had these for previous commander sets, but yeah, I do prefer as well to keep them in the same thread personally, and we can call out in our testing lists which cards belong to each set. I approach the new sets as a single update myself, even in situations like the Q2 set like this one with...

    So far I've got seven, pretty small set for me: Tenacious Underdog Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second Raffine's Tower Xander's Lounge Ziatora's Proving Ground Jetmir's Garden Spara's Headquarters Very happy to have the Triomes completed though, looking like I'll have to remove a card from each color...

    Leaks from the commander set are surprisingly good! My favorite of the leaked bunch. I have plenty of token support to go around, but this is a) one of the most obvious to build around, making for better drafting with less experienced players b) draws cards in white, which isn't an issue like...
