    I think it was actually in one of MaRo’s design articles where he discussed O-Rings becoming a new staple effect at common. I can’t quite remember where, though.

    Life's Only Certainties: Death and Taxes Thalia, Guardian of Thraben Wasteland Palace Jailer I was possessed by a Demon and built a Death and Taxes Mirror Match Micro-Cube. This Cube is focused on interactions between different Death and Taxes mirror-matches. You can play several famous...

    Instructions unclear, accidentally created Cube with 77 copies of Floral Spuzzem.

    Agreed. The Fascist Dinosaurs are pretty cool too. Testing thread is up BTW.

    I think the Guidelight Voyagers have a pretty charming aesthetic overall. I think they're probably going to show up in Edge of Eternities later this year, so I'm excited about that! Diversion Unit is super cute, I'm probably going to pick one up for my battle box! Diversion Unit

    See the problem is that Riptide Gearhulk is one of the best Splashy cards in the set, and our podcast only has 300 listeners. Get those numbers up, and we can get Siege Rhino 2 for Tarkir!

    Seriously, why did they make the mechanic about reaching Max Speed so dang slow? It's Madness, I tell you! Madness!

    I agree, keeping the Lions at uncommon feels a little weird from a power level/value perspective. I think in the context of retail limited it makes a reasonable amount of sense, though. Foundations draft feels like older limited sets where your deck tends to be a lot less about drafting one of...

    I'm more trying to articulate that most of these Timmy cards that do very little except have stats aren't going to invalidate "cooler" cards with cooler abilities just because their stats are above the normal rate. A lot of cute 3/3s with a relevant upside tend to outperform stuff like Regal...

    To be fair, the "Savannah Lions" that people are calling unplayable in Standard are Kellan, Planar Trailblazer and an old cat lady in training, not just your average vanilla 2/1. These cards are better than Heartfire Hero on average. Heck, I think Favored Hoplite is probably better than the...

    While I understand the fear here, that's not really what's happening with this card. The simple act of having a 5/4 for 1GG doesn't invalidate the existence of 3/3s. We can actually see that happening right now in Standard! The last overstatted, easy-to-cast beater we saw is still legal: Bloated...

    Thundering Spineback suffers from the classic Ixalan "everything costs 1-2 more mana than it needs to and when in doubt, make it cost 7" treatment.

    General [DFT] Aetherdrift

    Finally! A new Riptide card! I like how this card has a high floor while still tying in nicely to a bunch of Artifact, Blink and Prowess synergies common to U/W. I think this is worth a test on my end!

    This genuinely looks like a good card for my Battle Box!

    This card in particular is justifiable at cycling for 3. I've just noticed a lot of the cards in this set have expensive cycling costs, which usually means the cycling mode is less relevant. As a cycling enjoyer, I want to activate my cycling abilities!
