Wait, they aren't talking about literal Savannah Lions in Standard? ;) (In all seriousness, I'm baffled that they reprinted Savannah Lions as an uncommon in 2024.)

Calling Heartfire Hero a 1/1 is true... but comparing a vanilla 2/1 for W with a 1/1 that permanently grows by one each turn as long as you checks notes target it with something (in a format with a one-mana instant that gives something +3/+1 and trample with a lingering benefit) that flings...

It honestly is? The real annoyance to me is that it forces powercreep into cube, of all formats. And I'm not just talking powermax cubes here - I've lost track of the number of times people on these very forums have said something to the effect of "oh, [classic fan-favorite card] isn't good...

Thundering Spineback It turns out that +{4} mana cost gives you +0/+1 and the ability to spend {5}{G} to make a 3/3 Dinosaur. Who knew?

Hmm... I have to say, I'm a little bummed that our first proper visit to Muraganda is during the silly Wacky Races set.

The 90s is on line one.

Yeah, it's the first time I've seen that.

Scroll ALL the way down and you should see the link.

A common mistake - "not:shit" gives you every card with an attached with a "notable" field set to "shit", which is ignored right now because it's been deprecated. You're looking for "-is:shit"... and you really should be using "q:good" instead of "is:good -is:shit" because that's literally what...

I am amused by Loot for two reasons: I grew up with Loot, Scoot, and Boogie, and watching people get bamboozled by his complex, high quality character design warms my cold black heart. I'm a sucker for the specific set of narrative tropes they went for with Loot, and I confess that I'm kinda...

They've got you covered: Bestow Greatness

I feel like the Speed mechanic might play better than it looks? Once you've played your first card with Start Your Engines!, you'll reach Speed 4 in what, 2 to 3 turns? And then, after that point, any further Speed-based cards will give you their full benefits. Sure, that probably isn't good...

Do I want to know? ... The design is very... "hey, how do we make another Green commander that cheats out permanents?", but on the other hand it's also gay. I'm torn.

I was going to post The Shark - it definitely feels like something you could slip into a cube without too much of an aesthetic clash. Also, I'm kinda curious why Amonkhet's team is headlined by a zombie cat person, given that I'm pretty sure Amonkhet didn't have cat people the last time we saw...

As someone who Exhaust should be perfect for (2 and 3 drops with abilities that fill in the mana curve? Those are my jam!)... I dunno. It feels like it's yet another mechanic that adds a memory burden for minimal real advantage - contrast it with kicker, which is generally one-and-done. Also...

I think part of it was also that Clues were the first token they defined in the comprehensive rules instead of on cards. A shame. We could've gotten Cook and Bleed as keywords.

Collect Evidence should have just been called Collect or Research or something, because the mechanic itself is honestly pretty flexible. It also has the big advantage that you don't need extra gameplay trackers, unique tokens, or special frame treatments to reuse it. Mechanics like that feel...

I swear I looked at the smilies menu...

Mounts should also be allowed! Terrible game mode. ;)

I was reminded of this recently because this thread popped up recently, and I feel like the reason why it kinda-sorta works thematically is that the sweet wizard duel that's "portrayed" by Magic is usually really zoomed out. We're talking "Urza vs. Yawgmoth was a single Bo3 match of Magic"...
