This set is looking very slim for cube. M20 may well be the worst cube set in a few years...

Ok, I have some opinions on this set, but I’m away so I can’t post pictures as usual. First, none of the walkers in this set are new, and the only one hasn’t had a Real* card before. Mu Yanling is getting a new card! Vivien is back for the 3rd time in a year. I think she kind of sucks as a...

Thank you for your comment! While I don't think an entire cast triggers archetype is correct for the environment I wish to create, Bygone Bishop is a card I have definitely been eyeing as a replacement for Mentor of the Meek. Being able to push the card-draw to a later date while still...

Making room for Wrenn and Six: The Modern Horizons Update Discussion Modern Horizons has brought a bunch of new toys for the Highball cube. Some provide great support for my existing archetypes, while others are going to be useful in enabling fringe strategies to become more playable. Loam...

I know but I seem to remember reading somewhere that she also has/had a crush on Gideon at some point in time before he died. Don't get me wrong though, I much prefer Chandra and Nissa together. Gruulfriends is my favorite ship!

I'm about 90% sure that Chandra is Bi in the WAR novel.

Why do we even need Planeswalker-themed core sets? How does a character like Garruk, Liliana, Chandra, Jace, Ajani, Tamiyo, Bolas, or Tibalt represent magic as a whole? I think the answer is that they don't. Origins was one of the most fun core sets because it's theme was: the Origins of the...

This one is hot... ...these two are not Also, didn't we just get a Chandra-themed core set back in 2013? Was a second one really necessary? Is Chandra actually the most popular Planeswalker now and WOTC just hasn't publicly admitted it yet? Are we getting reprints of Abbot of Keral Keep...

Omenspeaker's ability to set up draws is far better than sometimes grabbing an instant or sorcery, even in cube. Vivien, champion of the wilds requires way too many creatures to be card advantage most of the time. Basically, she's usually just a Vedalken Orrery for creatures that also gives a...

Alright, I'm going to try something a little bit different today. I've got two cards I want to add to my cube: Goblin Engineer Tectonic Reformation The only problem is that they are both red cards, and as such, they are in my tightest color. Instead of helping me find two cards to play, can you...

I kind of want to try this for the meme value :p. I might cut it after a draft or two, but killing people with squirrels seems really fun...

It is so easy to get removal in this set's limited environment it isn't even funny! MH1 Draft feels kind of like an odd cube in some regards, although there are more narrow/unplayable/filler cards than one would want to see in cube.

I just wrote an entire blog post-thing about implementing artifacts matter sub themes into green. I think it could revolutionize the way artifacts are treated in cube: The Train Station: Mono-Green Artifacts

Mono-Green Artifacts One of the oldest mechanical themes in the history of Magic: The Gathering is that of artifacts matter. Magic's second expansion, Antiquities, was the first set to explore this theme actively. It included such classics as Atog, Hurkyl's Recall, and Mishra's Factory...

Welcome to Riptide! It's always nice to see someone with a well-established list join the site! I'm interested to see what you'll choose to include out of War of the Spark and Modern Horizons. Both of those sets seem pretty good for rareless cubes, especially now that you have access to...

We have a discord?!

I totally love the frog as well! There are a lot of cool cards in this set, I am finding a lot of the commons pretty tempting. I'm a big fan of Rank Officer, for example. But, I think the majority of the cards in this set that only qualify as "neat" will probably not see enough play to warrant a...

What's with these tests? They seem pretty far below your power band.

I don't think they're doing either. They just made Time Spiral 2. That's all.
