    I have not played with the card much outside of in constructed. It does have a lot of text, but I find it to be intuitive. It's four abilities really end up feeling more like two abilities since the Token and Sac are playing in the same space and the Escape and Add counters are linked. As for...

    Article One Card a Day

    Perhaps you could just write 1 post about all 10 tri-lands? I don't think they're functionally that different from one another. Alternatively, you could use each 3-color land post to discuss what you're trying to do with your three-color sections. Instead of talking about what each land does...

    Omen of the Sea I think this one is even more blinkworthy than Demonic pact because it fits right on the curve before Flickerwisp. It's also functionally Deliberate in many decks, so it's not backing your drafters into a corner if they decide to take it as a speculative pick.

    Sets Kaldheim Charade

    I never said I was disappointed- I literally said that I'd like to see her have a story where she gets fleshed out more. In fact, my exact words were: Kaya has been in the story for almost half a decade now and they really haven't done anything to make her an interesting person. Now that...

    Sets Kaldheim Charade

    She's just a very generic overconfident character who doesn't ever grow or learn. She supposedly has some moral values that cause her to fight, but in the stories I've read of her she just feels like a random assassin character. I think the reason why she kills ghosts is because she doesn't want...

    Sets Kaldheim Charade

    Packaging Leaked Looks like Kaya is back in this set. I'm not a big Kaya fan- I think she's a very boring character who's only redeeming quality is a cool character design. Hopefully she get's the "Jace in Ixalan" treatment where they tell a story where we can have a deep dive into her...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Powerstone Minefield can't kill the opponent's utility creatures, which is an important part of a board wipe. It also doesn't kill anything larger than an x/2. While it is good at stonewalling aggro decks trying to curve three one-drops into a Goblin Rabblemaster, that's about it. Some better...

    I'm about 90% sure we've had this conversation about mage names before :P (Trainman and Topiary mage are still the best names :>)

    If it were a different color it could be good, but as it stands, green is not very likely to be playing a ton of instants and sorcery spells. I think you're looking for cards more along the lines of: Tallowisp Cloudhoof Kirin Thief of Hope Blademane Baku Skyfire Kirin Tallowisp also seems bad...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I've been mulling this over for a long time now, but I think evolving wilds is finally of the power level to be worth running in every cube. Evolving Wilds I have compiled a long list of reasons for why Evolving Wilds is actually the best fetch land and why everyone should be playing it:

    General Timespiral Remastered Timeshifts

    Well, I'd be willing to bet we see a lot of cards with art that at least kind of works with the original border. I'm also going to guess that they use this space for a lot of high value reprints (Path and Chalice are eternal format staples, and even relentless rats is over $1 per card). So...

    There are a few mediocre cards which become pretty good when you can splice them on to anything: Spiritual Visit Dampen Thought Evermind Reweave Horobi's Whisper Desperate Ritual Glacial Ray Through the Breach Torrent of Stone Kodama's Might

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I wouldn't do a one-for-one swap here. Although Jace, Wielder of Mysteries can't protect itself, it doesn't matter as long as there are only 2 cards left in your deck. Jace can mill you for two, then draw a card and win. Jace effectively plays the same role as Thassa's Oracle in the "mill...

    General Tribes in a Can

    I'm surprised no one mentioned: Cryptbreaker This card is the quintessential tribe in a can. It creates an army of on-rate tokens without any trouble, it converts creatures controlled into card draw, and it doesn't need a single other member of it's tribe in the deck to be good. I would argue...

    The Good: (I'm really happy to see some new Ron Spencer art on a magic card in 2020). The Great: (Can I say Bob Ross is my favorite Magic artist now?) The "Why did they choose this art?" I really dislike the art direction for this one, except with the arcane signet which would have looked...

    I know there are the new Gloss eclipse sleeves which supposedly does not have the foil vibrancy issue, although I don't know if they also have a gloss back on not. I also don't know if they get gunky or not.
