As the opposite of all you old-border lovers, I get this: For the first time in new border* and it's with the original art! (the 7th flavor text that they reused is less good than Barrin just trash talking Urza, but we can't have everything in life) *Amonkhet Invocations are not "new border"...

"mana value" is just the new way to say CMC, so no, you don't get the bonus two sadly.

Personally, my red 3 slot is too crowded to add this friend, but I definitely see the appeal. Sure, casting isn't free, but it lets you cast anything rather than a Dreadhorde Arcanist style restriction.

Yeah, this set reminds me of Rise of the Eldrazi in the way where I sit down and have absolutely no idea what my mana curve is supposed to look like. Prototype lets you play giant idiots and still cast them as 2s, 3s, 5s... long story short it's real fun.

While I normally don't pay much attention to people on the internet, there's a reasonably compelling case over at Hipsters of the Coast that the report is literally based on "walking to the two closest Targets and using some tcgplayer prices for sealed product". If nothing else, the fact that...

omg have you always had the CubeCobra integration, that's smooth as hell and I love it

Well sure, but that's just because you don't want to intercept.

well it's the spirit that Teferi makes so I imagine it's just his spirit

omg please put actual factual Corrosion in your cube, I'm a sucker for cumulative upkeep

It really does! I had no interest in, for instance, Fable of the Mirror-Breaker... until I saw it in action and it turns out you get enough value along the way for Slow Kiki to be fine (and I support stuff of that high power level, and I don't have Twin combo pieces in, so it's a really good...

Recruitment Officer oh fine and Third Path Iconoclast if you really twist my arm ...and just like the last three or so sets, I'm sure I'll have a handful more once I've played Standard with the cards.

Its intended purpose is powerstone-washing, I assume. But it can also do a halfassed convoke impression! I do agree that when we literally just had Argivian Phalanx I don't really see anything to write home about in terms of power level at common, or really power level at all.

My problem with giving this card a home is that we just got Shadow Prophecy and while that only gives you two cards and never sees all six it's also a mana and a life cheaper (and hitting two basic land types is easy enough for me to just be like, "it's cheaper, screw it")

It's Alpine Guide except not! And... that's it. But I mean it's a good rate if your two drop will live, which is just like, not an assumption I ever want to make.

Right, the floor of 1G 2/3 is a respectable "fail" state, and the ceiling of tap ten 15 ya is absolutely something I'm into, and then you can pay in installments, and there's stuff in between, it's clearly at least interesting! It's also an artifact and makes an artifact. But I have no idea how...

This has too many possible mana/size combinations to not do something, I just... have no idea what.

An unassuming little common, but I think there's a lot of power hiding there. A Powerstone isn't nearly a Wastes but it's not that far off if you're already an artifacts-matter cube. (obviously weaker to get it on die than on etb but you're paying for the 1W 2/1)

it's a pair with the GW one!

if you like Luminarch Aspirant but you just wanna dial it back a little

They slipped this one in the card image gallery with a bunch of other random commons/uncommons (apparently Obstinate Baloth is uncommon now?!) and hoped I wouldn't notice. But I'm too observant for them!
