honestly couldn't tell you a single game-warping rare in Phyrexia: All Will Be One... wait, okay, yeah The Eternal Wanderer was in that set unless that card was involved, every game I played ended by turn five when either my opponent died or I failed to kill them. what a turd of a set for...

https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-arena/arena-cube-draft The latest Arena cube is a normal-looking Arena cube, except it's got 3x fetches and 2x shocks and they explicitly told everyone why. A heartening step forward that they're willing to do this, definitely the right cards to do it...

Commander card alert, but it's actually sick:

cool Jeskai stuff, even if the latter is probably just gonna get elbowed out by the far more cheatable Magma Opus most of the time

well, it can take the initiative (by attacking once it's in play) but presumably Zurgo, who used to be a coward, values this ogre's predilection for kill-stealing

There are a lot of big numbers on this card. I mean, I'm a sucker for Aftermath Analyst, so I'm sure I could find a home for this, but it's not really... interesting?

This one's at least interesting, even if I think XBB -X/-X isn't a good enough rate without a lot more going on

Get it, it's not Snapcaster Mage, dohoho Get it, it's not Chord of Calling (honestly expected a similarly referential name when I saw these back to back) ...we are coming closer and closer to obsoleting Actual Murder with 2B rather than with Hero's Downfall, aren't we?

We just got Quag Feast, which is guaranteed to kill Cecil even from an empty graveyard. I think that's my pick even though it's brand new so the "new stuff" bias hasn't worn off yet. There's also Flame Slash which I have always thought of as a small creature killer. You already have Sheoldred's...

Sunpearl Kirin 1W Creature - Kirin Flash Flying When this enters, return up to one other nonland permanent you control to its owners hand. If that permanent was a token, draw a card. 2/1 While I don't normally tell Kor Skyfisher to eat it, I am comfortable at least saying something rude to...

I have zero idea how to evaluate this card. Like literally zero. I love that.

this is a cool design I guess but mostly I'm just here for someone activating it after combat and wrathing themselves in hilarious ways (not a may! it's Wild Beastmaster all over again except totally different!)

"red 3" as a spot for creatures is up there with "white 3" in terms of competition, but between being a discard outlet and the last ability, there's probably a power level that wants this. Note that you don't get to play whatever it is for free, so it's closer to Laelia, the Blade Reforged than...

I honest to god thought these were two different cards [and you were going to talk about the other later in the post] until I got to this rant, LOL

to be fair, this is a solved problem (dice) now that I'm not being fair, this specific card doubles down on the question I had about endure in the first place, which is "why doesn't it make a 0/0 with X counters on it" - the Abzan were +1/+1 counter themed in Dragons of Tarkir and their Khans...

I just think it's neat.

Siege Rhino except it's Thought-Knot Seer except it's Skyclave Apparition. You know how they word things to not totally ranch your opponent if you flicker or sac in response to the ETB trigger these days? Well, whoever wrote this card doesn't. You could tell me any one of these was the...

I mean, Smirking Spelljacker is technically not obsoleted here, but I'd sure rather pay an extra U to get the spell now rather than when I attack, even if 6 is way more than 5... (but eat it, Draining Whelk, old friend)

Someone here will absolutely care that Unable to Scream makes the creature into an artifact while Witness Protection doesn't, or maybe that the Legitimate Businessperson becomes green and white while the Toy keeps its colors. That person is not me but I'm still mentioning it. So many tiny...

My response is along the lines of "I forgot that Zendikar Incarnate existed", though that's a four...
