Book Accurate Cantrip

Something interesting I thought about while reading this article is that some cards fit more in the "positive" column of one category and more into the "negative" column of another. Dark Confidant is a great example of this. Bob is a good marriage of mechanics and flavor, earning its status as...

This seems somewhere between "deent" and "great." I don't know how often you're going to be activating the ability, but a baseline 2/2 Indestructible that can throw a bunch of power and Lifelink around seems very good. This also has some nice synergy with Proliferate. I might be testing this if...

Yes, because they're supposed to represent different things. Tempted by the Ring is supposed to represent what happens when one of your creatures is holding the Ring. They end up becoming of increased importance and start gaining more power for as long as they're holding the Ring. If they lose...

That's not actually what I said. If you look at the Ring mechanic right now (your ring-bearer starts with the ability to become invisible and then grows progressively more powerful as the ring tempts you until it either dies or loses the ring), it's honestly not a bad approximation for what the...

I know what the Ring does in the lore. I'm saying that the play patterns of the Ring mechanic look like they're going to parallel the lore reasonably well even though there isn't an explicit "your creature gets weaker than it was initially if it stops being the Ring Bearer" line of text anywhere.

It's almost like the fact that you're making one of your creatures super powerful is going to draw a lot of attention from your opponent and make them try to kill it. The Ring literally turns your opponent into the Nazgûl.

Gandalf: "Run Shadowfax. Show us the meaning of haste!" Shadowfax: (This creature can attack and {T} as soon as it comes under your control.)

I agree; all of the choices are fantastic. I actually like the way some of the lands look with the standard UB frame, which is nice.

I was expecting this set to be a lot more "EDH-y" than it actually is turning out to be. Obviously, some of the legendary cards are hilariously bad designs, but the normal cards have been pretty great, to be honest. I know we've talked about most of these already but I'm loving this group of...

Weird Request: White Artifacts (or Artifacts Matter Cards) that you would play in Zoo.

MaRo did a Lord of the Rings teaser! I don't have too many specific ideas for these hints since I haven't finished reading the books or watching the films yet, but I am excited for the card that makes a Smaug token! (Let's be honest– it's probably a Saga called "There and Back Again").

Based I am sad there’s no Bidoof or Decidueye, since those are two of my favorite Pokémon. But this also isn’t my Cube so like it’s fine lol. Also, I don’t speak German so I don’t know what most of these cards do XD

Congratulations to @Ajax_The_Bulwark and @Vraska for being the 999th and 1000th members of Riptidelab!

Rallying the Ancestors Part 2 Welcome back! In the previous post, I discussed the overall vision for the Cube and how my main goals impact my design decisions. This post will outline the individual archetypes I'm trying to support in the Cube. I will also cover some archetypes that I have tried...

Rallying the Ancestors Part 1 One thing that I have failed to do since writing the first Digging Through Time post almost three years ago was actually write a coherent description of what this Cube is all about and what archetypes I'm trying to support. My original plan was to keep the Cube...
