    Now that is a good question. They've been printing full cycles of powerful gold uncommons in all ten color pairs for a while now. Was it Theros (four years ago) where they started this? So, WotC has at least somewhat backed enemy color pairs for a while now. So maybe it's something else? Maybe...

    That's my personal list of cards I'm interested in for my cube :)

    Allied fixing is the norm because allied color pairing is the norm. This "half" land cycle "bullshit" is pretty much dictated, or at least inspired by the color wheel. I don't mind too much either, I can just print proxies for the missing lands.

    If you don't believe this, just watch this video from a few years back (don't know what set this is from, but I think Khans?) There's multiple cube owners on this forum who have already done so, including me.

    There's also a mini Overrun that grants +2/+2 (and trample) for {3}{g}{g}. I've always found Overrun hard to cast but borderline overwhelming at +3/+3 when you did get to cast it, so this might be something I'ld be interested in? Then again, +/+2 is sooooo much less than +3/+3...

    By the way, I really love the order of the spoilers, I think they did a great job of slowly spoiling the storyline there. Only now are we seeing a bunch of cards that depict what happens after Bolas arrives... and leaves. Sweet stuff!

    I love this analogy... because it's true :') I'm in luck though, my kids love broccoli :D (mushrooms though...)

    Oh the land is horrible, the flavor text is actually good though! Also, look at that reprint!

    I realize I have more room for guild cards than most cubes, so the bar for entry is a bit lower, but I do think this card plays much better than it looks at first glance. I'm going to try it out anyway though, so I'll let you know ;)

    Ugh... No. I feel that you are completely misevaluating the card. I agree that Mind Rot is a straight-up 23rd card, but you're completely ignoring the fact that the Mind Rot part is not actually taking up a slot in your deck! Disperse is legit playable, even if it's not too exciting, so the back...

    Oh nice, Consign to Oblivion is my jam! I was looking for another decent bounce effect to go with Demonic Pact! Consign {1}{U} Instant Disperse // Oblivion {4}{B} Sorcery Mind Rot This is actually great removal too if your opponent has only one or no cards in hand! Edit: Pic! This is...

    The The Dark version of Elves of Deep Shadow has gorgeous art.

    No, not really :P That should get better though once they shift to the one-set-block policy ;) Also, lands, boys and girls, lands. Not basic lands, lands.

    I just wanted to point out that you are arguing over the internet and you are missing out on a discussion on a set of potentially sweet lands ;) So, anyone else got a longlist of cards they want to add? The Desert-theme is a bit too loose for my tastes, but there's a bunch of eternalize cards...

    For anyone still running colorless mana cards (*cough* Thought-Knot Seer *cough*), look at these sweet lands!

    Honestly didn't mean to mislead anyone there, that's common vernacular over here. I guess other people might say "Careful Study on legs", but these words never imply the creature has the same casting cost. Like, the post that spoils the card on mtgs uses the exact same words even...

    I was looking for more looters actually, to support the Drake Haven-style cards Amonkhet gave us. Incidentally I've seen plenty of games go to seven mana in my environment, so that's not a barrier for this card in my cube. FWIW, I do think you're putting too much weight on the eternalize cost...
