Mox Opal got banned in Modern is what happened.

It's fairly trivial to kill a 2/2 in combat. A 2/2 with an attack trigger often has a hard time to trigger more than once. In the case of Gallia, it's all upside though. Pump, burn spells, and Frenzied Goblin-effects can do a lot of work on cards like this though. Plan your support spells around...

Satyr tribal isn’t really a thing outside of Gallia, so other than maybe picking up some incidental tribal value, I don’t think I would.

It’s incidental value, you’re probably going to be okay. I’ve ran Gray Merchant of Asphodel in my multicolor cube because it’s simply a super decent five drop in black. It provides both reach and some life gain, both of which are desirable. I’ve never had people assume there’s a secret monoblack...

Yes. I would sharpie out the satyr buff if you're not running any other satyrs. That said, Boon Satyr, Firedrinker Satyr, Reckless Reveler, and Satyr Wayfinder are playable cards.

Another alternative is to look at your blink cards. Just to name two examples. Flickerwisp This card doesn't care for blink targets, in a, presumably offensive, {r/w} deck, it can exile a blocker for a turn so your creatures can get in. Charming Prince This card likes blinkbables, but...

Oof... Yeah, that's too bad. Maybe WotC could help out there? I mean, not that I think powered cubes are better, but they definitely are a big part of the general appeal of the format, and the MtGO Vintage Cube is one of the most famous cubes.

I fail to see how three days of nonstop cubing can be anything other than completely amazing, so I can imagine how you're feeling :D Also, are any people from WotC going to be attending? Will there be cubes with custom cards? Can't probably say yes to both, right?

Interested in the coverage! Being from Europe (and without limitless pockets of money and time), sadly not going to be able to play.

If you run proxies, Fire Imp has been reprinted online: https://scryfall.com/card/me4/113/fire-imp

Fair, that does break stalemates.

Is it though? I mean, obviously Slimefoot has a cheaper activation cost for the token generations, but the Warlord's stats are vastly superior. 1/5 is a bit better than 2/3, generally, and it only needs one other creature to become strictly better.

Agree. Turns out doubling all damage is super strong, and if you kill your enemy before they can hit you, it doesn't matter much that you hypothetically take double damage. It's fun to play though!

Yeah, I'm a fan too! Fountain of Ichor has been super decent.

That would have been enough to make it passable. But honestly? Still quite bad compared to some of the rest.

Oof... Four cmc, (way) more color restricted, sorcery speed Raise the Alarm. The adventure part of Oakhame Ranger is so, so... so unbelievably bad. And then you get a super bad body to boot. I really don't get what they were trying to do here, as it's just a horrendously underpowered card all...

Oh, I know one that's really sweet in go wide decks! Good-Fortune Unicorn

If you want a really powerful one, but be aware that it's bonkers good, there's Glare of Subdual. Another one that is secretly pretty great at a lower power level is Selesnya Evangel, especially if you've got something that triggers on creatures entering the battlefield, like Juniper Order...

Warning, I'm spoiling the winner here :)

Rimrock Knight Nice and aggressive beater that fits really well into heroic and spells matter decks. Bonecrusher Giant Superb value for money. The adventure feels like an upgrade over Magma Jet, since it always draws you a painful to remove, hard hitting three drop, rather than scrying for two...
