I really wish they would finish the Grove of the Burnwillows cycle so I can put Punishing Fire in my Cube and not have it be worse Twin Bolt.

They're good, but they play differently from the Eldraine adventures. The adventures in Throne of Eldraine usually have two low-cost halves that can be reasonably cast as both adventures or just creatures. By contrast, all of the Adventure creatures in Battle for Baldur's Gate cost 4 or more...

What would be the game design reason for splitting up Dominaria United and All Will Be One? Neither set felt like it really needed a continuation from a mechanical standpoint. I agree the Phyrexian story is feeling rushed, but honestly, I think the biggest problem is that the "Invasion of the...

I don't think they said one way or another whether or not the new cards would be in boosters. My guess (especially how narrow 3/4 of the themes are) is that the new cards will only be in the Precons and the Collector Boosters, not the main draft set.

It's not Ajani because Phyrexian Ajani doesn't have that big Phyrexia symbol on his forehead and is more of a pale white color. Norn's Decree Compleat Devotion Additionally, the Character on the box has the same Sword and wears the same crown as Brimaz. Brimaz, King of Oreskos There are also...

So March Φf the Machine is getting 5 new commander decks... Tinker Time: RUG Artifact Tokens. Call for Backup: RGW Counters. Divin Convocation: URW Convoke. Growing Threat: WB Phyrexians. Cavalry Charge: WUB Knight Tribal. This is important because last year's 5 deck commander release (New...

They're doing Commander Masters, it's basically Double Masters but with Commander cards instead of good constructed cards. I'm actually happy they're doing this because the new variants are cool and it should be fun to draft. But that's not why I'm making the thread. We're getting 4 new...

I think it's closer to an instant speed Strategic Planning than Expressive Iteration. Iteration basically always lets you draw 2 cards for 2 mana (as long as you're playing it on turn 3 or later), while Planning and Moment of Truth are only ever guaranteed to give you one card to use, plus stock...

Fblthp and Siege Rhino {G}{W}{U}{B} Legendary Creature– Hommunculus Rhino Trample When ~ enters the battlefield, each opponent loses 3 life. You draw a card and gain 3 life. 5/6 Emry and Tasigur 7UB Legendary Creature– Human Merfolk Delve, affinity for Artifacts {1}{G/U}, {T}: Put the top 2...

I mean, people keep buying all of the bonus Commander products. Obviously someone other than Hasbro executives want them.

Squeefoot seems pretty powerful. You need a Saproling to stick in order to activate the reanimation ability, but this card prints those so that shouldn't be too much of an issue. Additionally, Saprolings aren't too hard to create with supplemental cards. I'm not sure I'll be playing this, but I...

A few months ago, I had a conversation with @landofMordor in My Cube Thread. After learning some interesting information about the history of Evolutionary Biology in recent college classes, I realized that some of what I learned actually applies to Cube design in strange and unique ways. This...

I know it's been a while since we had this conversation (and I meant to follow up in text here earlier but I got a bit too busy with life, oops :oops:), but I've had some musings on this topic that I thought might be a bit interesting. Part 1: "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light...

Eldritch Tutor {7} Creature– Eldrazi Advisor When ~ enters the battlefield, search your library for a card, put it into your hand, then shuffle. Evoke {1}{B} 4/7

~20% of the Cube being lands is pretty standard for High Power environments these days. It's a good way to increase the power level of the average deck through consistency without necessarily having to sacrifice fun archetypes that have higher variance.

Let's give it another 9 years ;)

What a missed opportunity! This revelation completely throws the validity of my analysis into question!

In the immortal words of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., “at least 3.”

Wow I really did put 12 instead of 6 there didn’t I, lol.

Cube Design – Khans Cube Review: Part 2 Cube Review Season has returned! In the last article, I Jason covered about half of the Cubeworthy cards from Khans of Tarkir. I'm going to cover the cards I he missed, and fill in some of the gaps from the time between when the first article was released...
