    The Black Cube

    It's gonna be really hard to hold up Decaying Haiku for your own creatures, so you have to rely on the mercy of your opponents. How many decks are creatureless/cheat their consequential creatures into play? The flashback on that is nifty, though, as it creates a minigame based in playing around...

    You have a lot of artifact hate; do you need this much? It keeps a lot of things like Smuggler's Copter in check, but it feels a little arbitrary in a format with this many artifacts. I dislike Ashnod on the grounds that she's very wordy in a disconnected way. Gorex, for example, is wordy, but...

    Sets Cube Design – Khans Cube Review: Part 2

    Train, how could you?? You forgot the best part of Clever Impersonator--it can copy your Siege Rhino!

    Did you just reinvent sarcasm?

    Sick, thanks. Svella is a nifty card that I had forgotten about.

    You can't just drop that and then walk away without telling us what EDH Monstrosity that is. Also, how many times do you really have to recur Fight with Fire??

    Delver Cube

    Not to get too wild, but would you ever consider starting everyone off with 1-4 free copies of Delver just to make sure that they get the message?

    The Black Cube

    Assorted thoughts: For the W/B hybrids, I feel pretty strongly that the Dream-Den Protector ought to have flying. It has four whole wings!! The card you don't like from that cycle is the anthem + spectral procession, right? At any rate, these cards feel balanced, interesting, and very...

    Mordor's Cube (The Ship of Theseus)

    TBF, LadyMapi, I think you have a unique perspective on creativity and restrictions and probably don't need this explained to you.

    Sets (ONE) Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews

    Mmm, I'd actually cast this as the Alien vs. Aliens problem. As soon as you can reasonably hurt them, they're no longer nearly as creepy. In NPH, the best we could hope for was that a few people could escape, but here the story feels like a formality; we all know that the phyrexians will be...

    Take a picture of the order, shuffle, and reset. Or in MTGO's case, cry.

    Sets (ONE) Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews

    This press release as copied by MTG Arena Zone says that magic will "change forever" with March of the Machine, and the devs have been hinting a lot (allegedly; I can't quite find where) that this change won't just be to the lore but also to the mechanics of the game. Note that I can't take...

    Actually, current thinking is that "battle" is a real type, just not one we've seen yet, something similar to dungeons/venture. Hopefully this is the "big change" magic will be seeing and not something worse.

    General How much do you love Magic right now

    For me, definitely both "never loved it more" and "mild to severe disgust" at the same time. I've been having a lot of fun playing Magic and have actually played my cube this past year. EDH is still a mediocre format at best, but magic is magic. New designs are kind of gross though, and WotC as...

    Sets (ONE) Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews

    For me it's the complexity of the cards spoiled so far. I'm very excited for the C/U dump, but I don't understand why we need Malcator when we have Blade Splicer. Yes, the additional ability is nice, and yeah, "Phyrexian Elephant Wizard" is a dope typeline, but the latter does 90% of the job...

    Sets (ONE) Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews

    That's a great planeswalker. Her first +1 technically protects her by preventing the targeted creature from attacking planeswalkers, making her good in control decks that play to the board. The 0 lets her do cheaty stuff but not too much cheaty stuff while the card selection ability prevents her...

    The drawback is that it makes otherwise good cards look silly. Jadelight Ranger cries in a corner.

    Sets (ONE) Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews

    These cards look sweet, but I'm actively trying to reduce complexity in my cube and so probably am only interested in The Wanderer 3.0 thus far. Still, I'm hopeful for the rest of the set if this is anything to go by! Urabrask's Forge also looks cool as someone who has always wanted to make...

    You say that, but there's also a single copy of Kilnspire District. Between that and Seek Bolas' Counsel, I think it technically is a Planechase cube!
