If I can't be mean, can I be median, mode, or range?

No it's not, we'll get to why in a second. For 5 weeks. Ponder was legal in sanctioned modern tournaments for 5 weeks. It was banned in the first B&R announcement following Pro Tour Philadelphia. It's been banned in Modern for the decade since that event. It's not "goldfish memory" for people...

Not in my cube, but I did have a chance to play with it in the Winter Arena Cube. Sarkhan the Masterless is really fun!

For anyone wondering, this is not real.

Ponder may have been printed and banned in the 2003-14 era, but it's now only able to be played competitively in legacy and vintage, which are the two formats which naturally include all black-border cards printed with the 1993-2003 frame. Since Ponder is now known for it's time in Legacy, I...

Yeah, I tend to agree with you. I like having some cards with the old border in my cube, but M15 border and the most recent oracle wording is just so much better than what they were doing back in the 90s and early 00s! I used to think I don't like the new border, but I realized that I just don't...

These cards aren't really comparable other than being black 5 drops. Gravebreaker Lamia is a little better on average since it "tutors" for something when it enters the battlefield. Bone Miser is a cooler engine, but there is a really high chance that it dies before getting to do anything. I...

Time Spiral Remastered: Selling me cards I already have since 2021.

This is a good card to receive this treatment!

I'm happy with the time shifts they've picked so far. There's not a single bad card in the bunch. Even the filler cards are things people like and will want to play.

I really like this update! The addition of more fixing is great, and streamlining the themes of the cube should make drafting more smooth. I noticed you added Dragonkin Berserker, a card I like very much...

I guess when the most interesting part of a World is the Wizard University, it makes sense to name the set after the School instead of the Plane! Remember, Rose doesn't talk about Northfield, she talks about St. Olaf! Although personally I find the most interesting part of Northfield to be...

I think taking fixing highly is correct in most cubes, reasonably speaking. The average fail rate of having a card that is entirely not worth playing in a cube is far, far lower than in a retail limited environment. There are often going to be several cards during the draft that are good enough...

Yeah, the entire reason WOTC never used to have enchantment removal in black was because they didn't want people running mono-black decks to be able to destroy their "deal with the devil" enchantments such as Demonic Pact and Treacherous Blessing. Then one day, after almost 30 years, some guy in...

Either mode could be the finisher depending on the matchup. Against a midrange deck, the a control player could slam the typhoon hardcast, and then make a stream of sharks from every subsequent removal spell, cantrip, and planeswalker they play. It's a decent follow up to a board wipe, to be...

Japanese versions of the mystical archive cards will be available with alternative art. Unfortunately, I think these are only available in Japanese once again. That is very disappointing to me- I'd like to be able to use some of these cards in my cube, yet I can't unless I use proxied English...

See, this is all nice, but the best card in the set by far is going to be:

I think Verge Rangers is a very not-suck card. It's a nice top-end body for aggressive decks, and it can clear useless lands off of the top of midrange and control builds. Even if it only "draws" a land or two over the course of a game, it's still a good rate. It's only ok for landfall, since...
