I was also on the Monk Class hype train when it dropped, but I'm doubtful it's going to hold up. I'm still waiting to see it in action before I cut it, but it seems like a case of the card giving marginal bonuses in too many scenarios. It's a strong candidate for editing at some point, because I...

Late to the party, but Scion of Draco can work with DIY Seraph. Speaking of which, has anyone tried running this card? It seems like a decent candidate for 5C-enabler/fair reanimation target/slightly underpowered-yet-colorless-and-therefore-less-parasitic top end for 4C decks. Scion of Draco

guh. This seems very strong and yet very fair. I'm loving W getting in on the graveyard value party, now all it needs are so enablers! Still, for those of us with graveyard-focused cubes, this seems like another step in a cool direction. My only issue is that it might be too good as a brick...

Wow. Priest of Ancient Lore, eat your heart out. If, like me, you don't care as much about the lifegain and want to push Humans a little, I find it hard to imagine how one could do better. I'm loving all of these side grades. It's interesting that this makes aggro a little softer to 1-for-1...

Yeah, this absolutely needs to cost at least 4, and it's still a heavy color pie break. Introduction to annihilation costs 5, and this is just a blue version of that with extra steps. It probably wouldn't break anything for cube, but I'd err on the safe side. The color thing, however, bugs me...

In limited, probably not, but knowing that it can snipe a Clue or Blood token can be fine, I guess. Given that the artifact killing is going to be live a minuscule fraction of the time, it's probably best to just think about it as a replacement for Dragon's Fire. In constructed, we have a...

This looks great! A Flying Men with minor upside to help out my ninjas and blue tempo circa Ixalan is, quite literally, what I've been looking for. And if my spidey-senses are correct, it's yet another signal that we're going to see yet more Ninjas in Kamigawa 2.

Oh hey, they fixed Questing Beast to be cool and not dumb. I actually like this a lot.

Dreamstealer Graveblade Marauder I run 2 copies of Ninja of the Deep Hours and a singleton each of Mistblade Shinobi and Moonblade Shinobi, but am anticipating adding more from Kamigawa 2. My U section is also angled towards tempo. Do people have clear favorites between these two or do they...

Careful to not get too salty! edit:

Oh boy, if only. Twilight Imperium set me back $70 in 2017, and that was a bargain due to a new edition coming out. And don't even get me started on Gloomhaven or Frosthaven (which are definitely worth it at $100/$130, but are still very expensive). But yeah, Kickstarter-era board games start at...

...they just put these three angels in a blender, tacked the pieces together, and decided that flying made the resulting skaab too strong, didn't they? Restoration Angel Emeria angel Angel of Finality On topic, I'm not sure that this is going to be a super notable card for me, though, and my...

This is an ugly card. I like the idea of cleave, but if there's more of this nonsense, no thank you. The corner case of them paying for your counter and you drawing is so distracting as to make me never want to run this card no matter how good it may be. Archmage's Charm is more my speed even if...

"It's going to be a long wedding, dearest, we'd better stock up on those blood-flavored Capri Suns you like so much to keep you from getting hangry." The flavor, at least how I read it, is that the vampires go raiding so that they can supply humans for the wedding feast, which I believe is an...

I claim victory! Though I agree that it would have been a better fit in Kamaigawa 2.

My favorite 3 mv counter has got to be this one. Thassa's Intervention Metallic Rebuke is generally not a 3 mv spell, but it's a neat way to incentivize an artifact deck. I find that it usually doesn't get the discount before T3 in my environment, which helps keep it from being busted, but...

Could I grab pod #5 with Jace and lotus cobra? I pulled both from the first box I ever cracked, so there are a lot of good memories there. If that's taken, pod 6 sounds interesting.

I have a hunch that the "removal of something never removed before" mechanic is going to be similar to Override as introduced in this custom set: https://amp.reddit.com/r/custommagic/comments/eb5sou/cyberpunk_set_mechanics_override_initialize/ It feels like it would play nicely into the modal...

I would agree that it's not good. Many things have to go right for its effect to be beneficial, and at 2 mana it's hard to accept it being net negative on cards. If you're going deep on cards that like to be discarded it's tolerable, but there are many, many other ways to do so without feeling...

I feel you. It's really hard to carve out that time, and even when you do it's easy to fall back to the comfortable things--for me that's XCOM, Skyrim, and MGSV. It's important to not exert too much pressure on yourself, though, as that's how you grow to resent the demands of your hobbies...
