Digging Through Time, Part 4 Now that I've established my opinions on the Mechanics introduced during the Theros-Khans era, it is time to discuss the mechanics released in the following sets through War of the Spark. I will only be discussing Format-Warping mechanics or mechanics that I...

Digging Through Time, Part 3 In the previous Digging Through Time segment, I established that I want to make my cube an open-ended experience where decks mirror some of my favorite archetypes from 2014-15. However, I did not go into detail about how I plan to implement some of these themes...

It is absolutely true that the type of card I'm looking for is being printed today- arguably they even exist in greater numbers than back in Mid 2010s because they are no longer meant to be the best cards stealing the show! Rankle, Master of Pranks is a good example of the type of card I like...

Digging Through Time, Part 2 I finally know where I want to take this cube, and I think I know how to do it. I have never enjoyed playing Magic as much as I did back when I first started to get good at the game back in 2014 and 2015. While my enjoyment of the game has not experienced an...

Here's the actual card. I like Squirrel Friend. I'm not sure he's actually good, but I think he looks pretty fun to play with. Maybe I'll make some room for him?

I don't think this card is a good curve topper for aggro because it costs 4 mana and does nothing. An aggro deck is going to have to play more lands than it otherwise want in order to consistently play Endless Horizons. A much better way to ensure white doesn't brick on drawing threats is to...

This Elesh Norn is a fake, the three big giveaways are the paragraph spacing (which is too wide), the "foil stamp" (which is janky), and the art, which was created by an artist known as Zyralynn//Malena Santos and not Daarken.

Brad found: There's also: I think both of these leaks might be fake. The first snow leak which prompted me to create this thread was probably fake given how Oko isn't appearing on Kaldheim (unless WOTC just didn't tell us about him), throwing the validity of the other two cards into...

Let's talk about these in the speculation thread. I'm very suspicious of these because Snoko was revealed to be fake and this seems like a weird place for the Phyrexians to show up.

I think you have a lot of options for goblin tribal support. Tarfire Facevaulter Goblin Lackey Knucklebone Witch Conspicuous Snoop Munitions Expert Skirk Drill Sergeant Warren Instigator Weirding Shaman Arms Dealer Boggart Shenanigans Goblin General Goblin King Pashalik Mons Marsh Flitter...

Cranial Plating was confirmed as one of the Time Spiral Remastered old-bordered shifts: it's going to be appearing on The List in Kaldheim set boosters!

I made a slight revision to this thread today. I removed a portion where I called Sword of Body and Mind's combat damage trigger the worst in the sword cycle. While I believe it is much lower impact than many people are giving it credit for, I think it's probably closer to the middle of the...

I don't know if this is of any help to you but I wrote in-depth about equipments a couple months ago. Although my thread is focusing more on a small Stoneforge Mystic // Stone Haven Outfitter package than a massive archetype, I think a lot of the ideas I express there fit reasonably well with...

They changed Planeswalkers away from this to what they are now because the original design "Made Planeswalkers feel Stupid." This design happened to work for sagas because stories don't need to feel like intelligent beings. If the board state changes between the first and second chapter of a...

Remember that all but two of the tribal payoffs we've seen so far are not in the main draft set, just the Set/Theme/Collector boosters. The only two tribal cards we've seen so far which are in the main set are Magda and Realmwalker, neither of which seem particularly parasitic as they are either...

You see, you say it's stupid, but it's actually really cool.

Well, I can give you a link to DBS's old cube thread. It hasn't been updated since January of this year, but that was after the post to which you are referring so I'm assuming many of the same principles apply... DBS's Cubetutor Cube Thread

Yes, I run (or have run) a lot of Sagas: History of Benalia The Birth of Meletis Elspeth Conquers Death The Antiquities War Tymaret Calls the Dead Phyrexian Scriptures The eldest reborn The Flame of Keld The First Iroan Games You don't need to do anything to support them- the best sagas are...

Wow! What a great new equipment! I can't wait to tutor it up with my Stoneforge Mystic! Wait, I can't actually do that because it's on the back half of the card? Wow. - - - This card is like, actually pretty decent, I just don't like that the equipment part of the card is on the back. I think...

-So then clearly you don't dislike tribal you just don't like lazy design. -Of course these cards weren't going to be playable, they were made for the non-competitive products (although Youthful Valkyrie might be fine depending on how many good changelings are in this set).
