Experiment One/Lumberknot mashup! Really excited for this one This one is hard to evaluate but I like counters, gold cards, and graveyard nonsense and this is a cute intersection of all three. It's not Walking Ballista, but Ballista is one of the best cards printed in a long time and this...

I remember simpler times when we all briefly tried to Cube Vaultbreaker Llanowar Mentor is cool but more at home in a grindy GB graveyard deck that can afford to tie up its mana early to have more of it later There's a close tie-in with the RG Berserkers strategy that many of us have tried...

Vortex is a great example but stuff like Grafted Wargear, Hellrider, Armageddon also qualifies

I think TSG's place as a 5 on its own scale is conditional on your environment; if your synergy-based decks are doing something more powerful when the pieces lock together or your control decks can go over the top of it (the way the Approach decks did in Standard), you can exploit its...

Finally an interesting lifegain payoff!

The discard replacement not being optional is bizarre considering how severe the drawback can be

I love that this set has many cards that are very clearly meant as a fuck you to Tron in Modern

The timeshifted version of the old frame is the Platonic ideal of a card frame IMO; it fixes the mid-90s design issues of the original frame (other than white-on-white text) while retaining the resonant feel Future Sight card frames are sweet too: Darksteel Garrison

The 'grave-pulses' in green are really nice: Vessel of NascencyGrapple with the PastSatyr Wayfinder And Gather the Pack, Commune with the Gods etc White has... literally nothing. The W/X Temples are the best card selection white has, which is a pretty sad state of affairs

yikes the border there is ugly sweet card though!

oh that's cool, I was basing that on a Maro comment but I must have confused it with a different mechanic there. Spells matter is a broad enough theme that they don't *need* to go back to replicate this time

I'm on CaptnIrony's side in this argument though: this feels like a hostile takeover on the part of Scryfall and, while Scryfall is impressive and a great resource, I wish the two could still coexist

This convo seems like a non-starter because we acknowledge that Scryfall's UI can do all of what MCI's can and more, but MCI's was a lot more intuitive for various tasks. I liked that I could get >90% of my everyday queries by quickly using a few dropdown menus and not needing to consult the...

I'd be down for more Scavenge, anything that links two cool themes (counters, GY) is sweet. I liked Evolve and Graft. Replicate is cool but not coming back but Overload is on the table! Sadly I fear Radiance may be sitting this one out

sorry, the gigantic eldritch horror that drove people insane and destroyed the fabric of several planes in the multiverse after it was trapped in the moon is officially smaller than some CGI wurm that was trapped in the wrapping of your Guilds box when you bought it

the forum software turning your syntax into emojis feels awfully fitting

There's always... Nexus of Fate

Good thread here I like the cards that sustain this kind of interest by themselves but combine to form a new constellation of pieces that suggest their own direction, e.g. Teshar, Ancestor's ApostleSai, Master ThopteristMonastery MentorScrap Trawler Any one of these will catch my eye and...

A personal favourite that may not be what you're after: Wren's Run Packmaster

The aggressive spells decks always flopped hard for me. In Constructed - especially Legacy/Vintage - you have so much quality card draw/filtering that you don't need to have many threats (and it's usually 4 copies of the same 1 or 2 threats, which doesn't carry over to Cube well unless you're...
