    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    That's very surprising in the case of Murderous Rider. That card is always super premium in my Cube because it can remove an important threat and then "draw" a decently sized creature. I'm guessing the reason why you might be seeing different results than me is because your threats are a...

    General Cultic Cube video series

    Always getting the two cards you want is generally going to be better than having to choose between two piles that were purposefully designed by the opponent to be sub-optimal. There are so many cards these days that are better than FoF that there's not really a reason to play it unless you...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    This card looks extremely boring and quite swingy. It seems like it will either needlessly extend games without advancing them in any meaningful capacity. When it's not being annoying, it's going to be a bad "finisher" in an aristocrats deck that will feel oppressive with token spammers like...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Dying to be Good {2}{B} Enchantment Whenever you discard one or more cards, create a tapped 2/2 black Zombie creature token. It's the other one but good!

    General Innistrad: Double Feature -- A Double Whammy

    I'm pretty excited for this set. It's a really cool way to merge the draft experiences for MID and VOW while keeping the contributions from each set equal to 50/50. There's a lot of overlapping themes in these sets which look like they would play well together but wouldn't otherwise exist in the...

    General Fight Club

    Glasskite looks like the best control finisher of these three. Sphinx feels very underwhelming and Ephemeron requires expending tons of extra resources to keep it from dying. Glasskite is difficult to remove, but not frustratingly so, and only requires a one time cost to play.

    Mordor's Cube (The Ship of Theseus)

    Plot twist: I'm actually not going to argue for Dig Up in your Cube because you convinced me on discord that it's probably too slow for you. I thought that was a very salient criticism of Dig Up and defenitiely removed some amount of my bullishness towards the card. I still want to test it in...

    I don't think WOTC would do this specifically because they want to avoid this reaction ;). And even if they do, most of the good ramp targets require at least two pips of colored mana these days. Playing tron would either mean waiting until turn 5 to cast anything big or using bad mana...

    I wanted to write a reply to @Onderzeeboot's post but didn't want to make a massive wall of quotes, so I put it in a spoiler instead! You have many interesting ideas, Mr Bootman!

    Yeah it was a little annoying that someone else posted a thread after I had already started putting mine together. I didn't see it until I had already clicked post because it wasn't there when I logged on. The full spoiler had only been up for like an hour at that point! I do not mind people...

    I love all of these wedding cards. Inject them directly into my veins!

    Sets (VOW) Crimson Vow

    I like this design and the fact that it always provides a little bit of value. It is unfortunate that it doesn't have reminder text for any of the tokens. This is a good one drop, even without the Disenchant ability. I like how it gets bigger when attacking with your 2/1s, 3/3s, and so on...

    How did I miss this was a mana dork lol. I don't like how it specifies needing creatures in the yard instead of caring about normal threshold or delirium or something, I think that makes this card a lot worse than some of the other "Tarmogoyf" variants we've seen over the last couple of years...

    I'm also happy about the white discard support! It really helps tie the color into graveyard shenanigans that it used to not be good at despite having some decent payoffs. I think as far as Fleeting Spirit VS Seasoned Hallowblade is concerned, the Spirit is better against spells and the...

    Can we make this the most liked spoiler post of the year? That would be funny, and this card is cool enough to deserve it ;)

    I remember a time (roughly 18 months ago :p) when I would have gotten really excited to see this card be printed, and then promptly dissapointed when it turned out to be way worse than Drake Haven. I think the fact that this can start making tokens the turn it comes down without an additional...

    I'm from the United States, but from a state that's just South of the Canadian border. I'm actually closer to Canada than any of the other major US states (unless you want to count Wisconsin as major). Culturally, Minnesota is closer to Canada than a state like Texas or Florida, being known as...

    I mean, most of those words are just synonyms for interesting. I guess I could use a different word but it doesn't really change the meaning at all beyond some small semantic differences. Ulvenwald Oddity looks like it's going to have some really great gameplay patterns and fills a hole that...
