Oh Wow Velrun, I never noticed that (because I prefer just playing the plain (nonfoil) regular border versions of as many cards as possible in my cube), but that Archon of Emeria is a cropped and zoomed-in art frame rather than an extended art. Crazy! I think this is a matter of perspective...

I think you already asked this question when the lands in the Castle Vantress cycle were spoiled? /me searches Oh. Oh this is too funny not too quote, sorry Velrun :D Anyway, this Tumblr post by MaRo still applies...

You are still going to draw land naturally over the course of the game, especially if you're playing draw-go. I can't envision a scenario where I wouldn't rather have a Mana Leak or even Prohibit in my deck. I mean, I can certainly think of situations where I'ld rather have the Deprive in hand...

I still run Stuffy Doll, it's still great the turn before Wildfire.

I think you're talking yourself into it. It's still a downside, just less of downside.

This card has strong MaRo vibes!

Good lord, they finally did it! A common cycle (of all 10!) taplands with basic land types! Now print them without the snow supertype so I don't have to look at that weird frame!

You reckon they'ld reprint Frost Titan in Kaldheim itself? I was guessing the blue and red titan could be reprinted in M21. Maybe Sun Titan as well with a Jeskai giant legendary.

Oh, it's just a standard deck box containing a lot of WotC-printed tokens, nothing special.

If they reprint (some of) the Titans in M22, this card will certainly see play in Standard, as t4 Frost or Inferno Titan is insane!

I have a token box, which includes the embalm tokens as well. It's not pretty, but it works.

Spoiler season officially starts tomorrow! I'm still excited, even though I don't particularly love most of the cards spoiled so far. Runeforge Champion might be interesting, depending on how cubeable Runes are. Sigrid is really, really sweet as a surprise blocker to potentially 2-for-1...

That is a good reason to play Deprive indeed. Maybe if you run a UtilityLand Draft it might get better.

I had some catching up to do, but I echo Nemo's sentiment. Faith of the Devoted Don't dismiss this card without testing it a few times. After I caved and included it for lack of a better discard payoff, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly this can become lethal. I've had matches where it...

I think you're overrating Deprive. Setting yourself back a land drop is a pretty nasty downside. Has anything other than Gush with that drawback really been good? Gush has the advantage of being a completely free (casting cost wise) card advantage spell though, which Deprive doesn't.

Ah, I misread it. Ok, that's a lot less egregious then. A 2/4 flying for three mana is still pushed, but I retract my previous statement regarding the end of Aggro. Also, screw Brimaz. That cat getting nowhere near my cube. Same for Pack Rat and Jitte, those are some GRBS cards in lower power...

Obviously the difference is that Think Twice already gives you half the effect up front, which foretell doesn't do, but yeah, in general I think this is a mechanic that's likely to play better than it looks. I'm waiting for the interesting roleplayers, rather than the pushed mythics and rares...

The year definitely felt muted for me in terms of Magic, especially cube. All I get to do with COVID around is Commander, so cube really took a back seat this year. I'm glad that didn't prevent people from starting a bunch of good discussions this year!

Actually, MaRo most recently (in 2018) rated the mechanic a 6 on the Storm Scale, so while it's very dependent on them finding the right environment, they're definitely not unwilling to reprint the mechanic.

FYI, I cut Elite Scaleguard from my cube for being too strong in the +1\+1 counters archetype when I still supported that theme in GW. I suspect you're going to be running at a slightly higher power level than I was back then, so I encourage you to at least test the card. While it's a late drop...
