    Sets (LTR) The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth

    Knowing the core rules of the game is sufficient to understand what Learn does mechanically, you can look at the reminder text of any card that has it and know how to use it provided you have been given the sufficient building blocks. You might ask what a Lesson is, which is essential to...

    General (CMM) Commander Masters 2023 Previews

    Anikthea seems quite good to me. Plays very well with Elspeth Conquers Death, The Cruelty of Gix and Touch the Spirit Realm.

    Sets (LTR) The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth

    No, that's currently only for Secret Lair exclusives. They might make in-universe reprints for certain other UB cards, but are unlikely to do so for all of them (like all of the warhammer 40k cards)

    Sets (LTR) The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth

    I'm used to Velrun posting news I guess, but yeah, it was Seeker apparently. I do think it's extremely weird that they called the mechanic "the Ring tempts you" when it's purely upside, you would expect some sort of risk-reward scheme. Wizard's Rockets is a neat card, can lead to some...

    can't believe a book from over half a century ago had conservative gender roles also can't believe wotc managed to make a new gimmicky mechanic offloading complexity to an external card that is simultaneously underwhelming and overwhelming fwiw I assume velrun's comment was a joke, the ring is...

    General (MAT) March of the Machine Aftermath Previews

    Yeah it's certainly a step down. Seems sick with haste creatures though, I think I'll try it. I don't really have much to add to my reasoning beyond what I already stated, so I'm not sure what to tell you. I don't think it's a card you put in spell combo decks if you understood that to be the...

    Nissa is the more powerful card assuming you don't just draw dorks, but I would stick with Provisioner if saccable artifact tokens are even decently relevant in your cube.

    General (MAT) March of the Machine Aftermath Previews

    Alright, cards are officially reveal which makes them a lot easier to talk about. I'm not entirely sure what I'm personally interested in yet, but I do think there are some generally interesting cards. Vesuvan Drifter Urborg Scavengers Nissa, Resurgent Animist Tranquil Frillback Samut, Viziet...

    Just so you know, there's an Excecutioner's Capsule in your cube.

    General (MAT) March of the Machine Aftermath Previews

    I don't know, the set just looks like a bunch of commanders to me, so it seems like a case of "this product is not for you" to me. I don't really know if I had any expectations for the set, but I think there are a few neat cards here, probably proportionally about as much as any other set. I...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    It's not really a problem, just a balance consideration. There's a reason the adventure half of the card I designed is a 2-mana Careful Study sidegrade and not Swords to Plowshares. If you think it's busted then just adjust the numbers on the card until it's fair.

    Murktide Regent?

    The shorthand isn't, but keyword is mentioned under the card text search. The syntax guide is on the literal site you're searching for the cards, digging up a thread on riptidelab where some user tries to make an educated guess at what you will find useful is by every consideration more...

    General Fight Club

    Depends on the creature density of my deck. If Omenspeaker is going to turn on all the cheap removal my opponent is holding, then I'd rather have Mutation, but in a more balanced context, I might opt for the creature. Mutation obviously lets me handle bigger threats which is also valuable, but...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    You don't need to add a reveal clause, the rules can handle tracking a card going into your hand through a single effect, and you'd need to actively try to misrepresent the game-state (which is cheating) for it to cause any problems. (At least in this case, not so much with Sylvan Library.) I...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    The first magic combo I discovered was Hypnox and 11 mana. I mean have you seen that thing? It's unbeatable.

    Mown as in the name of a character a young boy made for World of Warcraft, there's no meaning to it.

    Wrenn's Resolve is a rethemed Reckless Impulse, so it's mostly relevant if you're on singleton. Burning Sun's Fury is one of the cards I looked at and thought were kind of cool, but I was probably overrating. Atraxa's Fall might actually be a consideration after I bring out the sharpie.

    General (MOM) March of the Machines Testing/Includes Thread!

    Mostly guaranteed: Complete the Circuit Death-Greeter's Champion Wildfire Awakener Complete the Circuit is the kind of card that gets my head spinning, and maybe looking for ways to add some more incidental token creation to enable it, but I think it's already somewhat reasonable. Cards like...

    Full spoiler is up. Some of you might find this interesting, not sure. Didn't take note of anything else.
