I love this precedent and agree it's awesome news. I was looking forward to another set with cycling (which makes sense for a three-color set!) but I will happily take this instead if it means we get to finish cycles and explore new ideas without dedicating an entire set mechanic in the process.

Very excited for all of this, but wow the borderless tri-lands all look exactly the same. I love my borderless triomes, but they're gonna have to not match here.

I talk about how some cards don't work in my size of cube often enough that I want to make a second cube just to support cards like Titania. She's incredibly strong and cool and great but there's not enough fetch lands, Armageddons, etc. to make her consistent enough in a 720 list. Even doubling...

I just took this out of my cube as well, I'm surprised I was able to forget such a beloved pet card ! (actually no, it just doesn't come up with basically any of the common language used on scryfall that I used for refreshing my memory about reanimator). I'm desperate to make it work but my...

Did someone say WHITE REANIMATOR? Loyal RetainersKarmic GuideElspeth Conquers DeathReveillarkSevinne's ReclamationSun TitanTeshar, Ancestor's Apostle I'd kill to see another Loyal Retainers style card -- it's a good kind of restriction that fits well with white, and a good CMC that makes it...

The biggest benefit of Unforgiving One over Custodi Soulcaller is the menace imo Playing NEO limited, I'm finding it very hard to have more than 1 modified creature unless I go all in on counters, auras, and equipment, often at the expense of card quality.

I spent too many years trying to make Isareth the Awakener, a card I love dearly for no good reason, to work to look at that card for more than a moment. It honestly seems like it'd be worse than Custodi Soulcaller in the typical scenario.

According to the USD sort on CubeCobra, it's the Unlimited editions of: Underground SeaVolcanic IslandTropical Island Kind of boring but yeah, that makes sense. Don't have any super thrilling versions of cards. Other than the ten dual lands, it's just reserve list cross-format staples: Wheel...

At the beginning of spoiler season I was planning to include it 100%, replacing Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle, a cute pet card that doesn't get picked highly, but has been able to do some work. Then Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful got spoiled, and I was able to justify continued historic support, which...

I do agree, but I also like cards to be cool. Taranika's art is fine, if a bit basic. I don't get a sense of the character, and there's a lot to read and grok with the ability. It plays much more simply than it reads, which is fine, but makes drafting more complicated. To wit, here are 3 MV...

And not as interesting as all the other white three drops for those of us on the knife's edge between the two. I tested it for four months or so, saw it hit the table maybe once. Honestly, the double pip in the cost was a killer besides its power level and lack of compelling synergy.

Lucky Paper's survey results are in! Big takeaway: this is one of the biggest sets for cube on record for average # of cards tested (it's in my top 3 with Midnight Hunt and MH2!), even if there's not much consensus on what folks are including outside of the top few cards. Sounds about right...

I adore both for both GY shenanigans sake and for supporting spells decks, but they've been comparatively unpopular to other two drops and have been at the cusp of my cube for the last year. I'm committed to keeping them in over generic aggro beaters, but it's hard to justify two dudes with 1...

NEW SUPERDROP!!! (I don't know why I sound so excited, I'm only moderately excited here). Love these. Don't love spending $30 on each land drop, but I also want to own every mountain ever printed and do want these all in my ever-growing cube box, so sure, let's do it. Don't run any of...

It's just an aesthetic preference. It looks messy, and makes the cards look inconsistent in the cube. I don't need extreme uniformity, but breaking beyond the established frame of the card doesn't have any benefit to me to justify its extreme differentiation. More real estate for art is good for...

Honestly, this is a good card for my list -- it hits more spells than Negate as a hard counter! Going to have to find room for it, especially since I do run both of the cards you listed. Yep, it's definitely earning a spot in my cube, very excited to play with that little crab guy.

I think the fact that they're design mistakes is lessened by their legendary status -- Valakut was a menace for what, a decade? It's a cool card, but it's so hard to interact with lands in modern Magic that I don't like this kind of importance being put on their non-mana abilities unless it's a...

So I'm looking at 25 inclusions for my 720 cube this set: tied with Midnight for most inclusions from a premiere expansion. I think many of these are just about at replacement quality with cards I already have in my list, and many of those I wouldn't keep if I were to cull my list in size, so I...

I've never been embarrassed to run Complicate even at my power level and this seems like it's got more upside, even ignoring the near-uncounterability of Channel and its ability to counter abilities as well. Wild! I love accidentally having a fat artifact creature in my graveyard after using my...

Neat dog. It's Champion of the Parish but triggers off of 50~ more cards (149 to 99 in my cube), even if it sees a ~30% decrease in white cards that trigger it (29 to 19). Will probably include as an "in addition to" rather than an "instead of", but I like this ability and I've been keen on...
