    General [STX] Strixhaven Spoilers

    Having a better worst case is totally fine with me, as a 5/5 trample for 5 is not exactly a great card, even though it's far from ebarassing in my environment. I just have a feeling that this might be a larger removal check than Ant Queen. If the opponent can untap with at queen, at worst...

    Hmm, this might be the green lifegain enabler+payoff I was hoping for. I'm just worried that it might be too good. Is it better than this guy? Kamahl, Fist of Krosa How would it compare to the original? Overrun

    I think the mechanic is somewhat compareable to the land mdfcs from Z3ndikar. These also feel subpar (like most lessons), but don't take up one of your precious 23-24 spell slots. However, there are two big differences, that make the spell/lands more attractive to me. Instead of adding modes to...

    I agree to some degree. Sure, you need more cards supporting an archetype, so in some drafts you might end up wit 5 extra cards. But if you on average end up with 5 extra cards, you could cut them back a little. I think one thing that helped me improve my cube during the last year massively was...

    I don't doubt that these cards will play great and I'm loking forward to drafting STX, but I think you're underestimating the negative effect these will have on the draft experience. Yes, there will be fewer unused cards in sideboards, but what are these cards anyway? Well, there are basically...

    General Life Gain as a Thing

    I hope we will get at least one good, self fueling lifegain payoff in green in the commander deck, but my hopes aren't too high. I'd probably take a simple beater/roadblock, like a 2/2 for {2}{G} that gains two life on etb and adds a counter at the end of each turn you got some life or something...

    General Fight Club

    Okay, I'll banish some things into fables then! The one thing I liked about hanna was, that she didn't care if I had only 10 of one of these card types and 0 of the other.

    Which of these artifact/enchantment payoffs is easier to make work and better when it does? Hanna, Ship's Navigator Banish into Fable

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Not meant to be basphemy but ... Gifts ungiven I just ordered a few cards and saw that the guy had a Gifts for 0.50€, so I just added it to my cart. i don't really know what this can do in my low powered cube, but I'm eager to just throw it in for a few drafts and see. Is this a good idea...

    I didn't mean to sound so negative, I was just wondering if there is anything new, but I admit, that my statement could be understand as hating Strixhaven. I don't, I'm happy for everyone who enjoys it and I think drafting it will be really fun with learn/lesson as a theme. I just didn't say...

    Doesn't G/U do what it always did? Drawing cards, ramping and caring about +1/+1 counters?

    For my Casual Champions Cube it looks like this 1) Modern Horizons 22 1) Zendikar Rising 22 2) Ravnica: City of Guilds 21 2) Onslaught 21 2) Theros Beyond Death 21 2) Throne of Eldraine 21 3) Eventide 18 3) Zendikar 18 4) Odyssee 17 5) Amonkhet 15 So these are the 10 most influencial sets...

    One of them is interesting, but it's one that I ant to try on arena first. Other than that, all of those cards either seem too low powered even for my list or are gold cards, and I only have 3 gold cards per guild, among which I try to encourage different playstyles. And Zimone just...

    Yes, all of these. AsI alreadysaid in the other thread, I feel very different than you about Strixhaven. Kaldheim and Z3ndikar weren't the best cube sets ever and yet had much more to offer for me than (I think so now) Strixhaven will have. I might change my mind about some cards after playing...

    I can't wait for Modern Horizons 2 :D With a lot of gold cards, super complex mdfcs, a parasitic A+B mechanic and a flavor I dislike mostly, this set just wasn't for me or my cube. I'm probably just adding those boots.

    General Poll: Shroud & Hexproof

    Maro already confirmed that hexproof will stay, and shroud won't come back. I think the former will be used more like protection in that it only shows up on spells as a temporary protection or rarely on a creature. The difference will be that hexproof is big creatures only (anti boggles policy)...

    At first I was like YES but now I think he might be too good even. He reads basically "whenever this guy attacks, you may pay 1 to draw a card" even without any synergies. And envisioning him next to another looter/rummager is kinda scary. That being said, I always wanted a Battlefield...

    I also don't think the Eldrazi should have or even need specific mechanics just for themselves. It is not like Goblins or Phyrexians have any mechanic tied to them so closely, that you can't find it anywhere else.

    General [STX] Strixhaven Spoilers

    I'm not really a fan of the silly, modern look on most of the artworks so far and I don't think the setting (a bunch of happy people studying and playing games) fits the concept of an MtG game all that well. But I'm fine if that set between TSR and MH2 has less for me. However, I want to see one...
