    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    That black discard spell looks like what I wanted for my cube for a looooong time. Since I powered down my cube, I got rid of targeted discard, so it's a pass, but it feels so wrong not to try the card. White Saga looks sweet, will definitely try it and see which one is stronger: this or The...

    I actually never thought about two cards that I like pretty much in casual/pauper play: PestilencePyrohemia Quite mana intensive, deals a bunch of damage to yourself if you'd like to use it as a board wipe, but it does have a lot of play to it, especially if you're opposing aggro and you're...

    I'll ask it the other way around: would Midrange/Control appreciate the painlands as much as aggro would? Maybe 1 damage per coloured use isn't that much of a drawback? Would fixing be too good for 3C+ decks, so I might even cut the temples for painlands? I guess I'll need to try, but as a...

    In an environment where the 10 bouncelands, 5 Ash Barrens and 5 Terramorphic Expanse as well as the 10 temples are the fixing lands - would you say the 10 pain lands would be too good? I always liked pain lands as budget fixing, as they provide you the mana when you need it while coming into...

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    I just wait for Theros to be fully spoilered, then I'm going to redesign my cube. Lots of spoilers look very good to me, I love sagas and I think I'm going to add lots of enchantments to my cube (I just don't like most artifacts; if they're strong, they're picks too easy). I'm really excited...

    What the heck, never heard of World Queller. Compared to Braids, Cabal Minion: -cc5 instead of 4 -bigger body -only on your own upkeep, so your opponent has their own turn to interact with the choice you'll make (more interactive, but also weaker), it also needs to live for a full opponent's...

    Balance compares to the likes of Tragic ArroganceCataclysmic GearhulkCataclysm ..which I completely forgot to mention. I'm still very unsure about them: Cataclysm produces nongames, at least that's what I fear. Tragic Arrogance lets you choose which permanents your opponent will keep, so...

    Braids plus Doom Foretold already looks pretty interesting for a WB Staxx section. I don't like Smokestack in cube as it provides every colour with a Staxx type of effect, which is something I somewhat dislike. I really cut down on colourless cards because of that. What are other Staxx type...

    General Fight Club

    I love Burst Lightning and Arc Lightning and I strongly dislike Arc Trail as it's not very flexible and has a very high ceiling for 2 Mana. I also like my burn spells to be at sorcery speed and not too strong (Lightning Bolt is such a broken card), as burn already is very flexible.

    General Fight Club

    I find Nissa, Who Shakes the World to be a broken card while Nissa, Worldwaker isn't as broken but still a big bomb. Bag of Holding doesn't make sense if you're up for gy synergies. Key to the City looks better, but I don't like 'unblockable' for my combats. Flying is much more interactive...

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    Seriously, that's what I thought when I guessed the set code. Someone who's able to should change it, it seems that I can't do it. I love sagas returning, as well as the fact that this time there might be enough playable enchantments to support different kinds of themes for my cube. The basic...

    Grumgully looks wonderful and not as busted as the Modern Horizons Unicorn. I love to have some anti-synergy with humans in my cube. Doom Foretold What do you think about this card? Staxx is usually located in WB, but it also usually benefits from having tokens to minimize the effect this...

    General Fight Club

    Flesh Carver and Ophiomancer are really strong cards, while Phyrexian Ghoul is weaker than the rest. Those three would be the first ones I'd cut to tighten the power gap in this section. Midnight Reaper along Xathrid Necromancer also looks a bit overkill.

    Sets [ELD] Throne of Eldraine

    It's true that those three are still played (alongside Narset) and that's pretty annoying, but by playing aggro or UG flash those don't get as dominant - at least that's what I'm hoping for. T3feri is the worst of them all, just hate that card. Turns out not being able to play Magic is not fun...

    Sets [ELD] Throne of Eldraine

    So far, I have to say that I'm in LOVE with this set! Never had so much fun in Sealed (still a bad format imho) and in this very early phase, it changed Standard for me from 'unfun planeswalker-heavy piece of shit of a format' to 'TRY ALL THE NEW CARDS THAT ARE GOOD AND FLAVOURFUL AND HAVE...
