It has the Tezzeret Agent of Bolas problem where it just kills them before it can reliably unlock any sweet interactions

Populate is one of those mechanics that doesn't have many pushed cards to choose from and the best one doesn't even have the mechanic: Esika's Chariot I do think Sundering Growth is a highly underappreciated Cube card though

Glad to have you back!

Some more variant format action - first, Australian 7 Point Highlander Then a deck tech + matches with Cephalid Breakfast in a Pre-Innistrad Legacy League:

Another Set Roulette Top 8! There's usually one deck that's much more popular and successful than the rest and it's funny that it wasn't Valakut or Flash + Worldspine Wurm this time but good old Merfolk: As someone who writes (and now podcasts weekly) about Modern I was keen to see what did...

The thin border just doesn't frame the card well IMO. The 8th Edition frame with the thick black border looks so much cleaner to me

Yeah unfortunately MH2 was just kidding about supporting Delirium, there really aren't any good new payoffs beyond the one-drop.

Trickery is banned in Modern, where you actually can 'go off' with it fairly consistently but it's highly volatile and just a miserable play experience all around. Casual Arena players really really want it gone in BO1 Standard though

Firestorm is an incredibly powerful card that you need to work hard to get the most from. I love it but wouldn't recommend it for every Cube without context

Field generally plays better than it looks. That said, it's much weaker in a Limited format where (unless you have a very very high density of flexible fixing) you're going to have a lot of basics with the same name

What, this one?

I like Nettlecyst a lot, it's surprisingly hard to find artifacts that care about other artifacts without being narrow themselves

I enjoy that the robot voice is British so we get a nice drawn out 'dumb-arrrse'

Debates over terminology that become debates about dodgy stats are the most tiresome thing in Magic discourse, can we please talk about the sweet cards instead like this one I love Erratic Explosion too much but Explosion itself is just too bad and the alternatives are too expensive (Riddle...
