Cutting Shortlist: Haunted Library Does this card do anything? It seems powerful in that it turns your Wraths into modal spells ({3}{W}{W} buys you a wrath and 1 1/1 flying Spirit token, {4}{W}{W} gets the wrath and 2x 1/1 flying Spirit tokens, etc.) but I may just have too much exile in White...

Finally, the good news of the 2020s that we all needed! I'm very happy to hear this.

TF2 players, all fifteen of them.

I agree that it feels very play-designed, (good coinage!) but the fact that it's so symmetrical redeems it. The "multicolored" restriction I could do without, but I suppose that's to prevent people from ramping (horror of horrors!) in UWB.

Yes! It might be rude, but I can legally print anything I want and I can pay someone else to print anything I want.* *this offer does not extend to things like dollar bills. You also can't sell it. I'm not a lawyer. I'm also in the US and am assuming you are too. The other party can refuse to...

For all you sickos who just can't wait: The Cube This is my fourth (?) iteration of my primary cube, and the second one I'm happy with. The first one I enjoyed is written up in No Free Lunches, and while I liked it a lot, the fact that you could get a pack like the following is a testament to...

I'm pretty sure it's Hideaway, as I remember someone pointing out tha the rules text got changed from "Hideaway" to "Hideaway X" in the hideaway land secret lair and that the rules themselves changed. Source...

Look at me, I'm R&D for 1 -> 0 before it's attacked even once. :wagg: ...okay, it's a stretch and it's still a design mistake.

Topplegeist This spooky boy has always been looking in on cubes from the outside, but I think the success of Network Disruptor has shown that a card like this has a home. I'm envisioning a sort of UW blink/ninjas tempo deck looking something like this: Ones 1 Gingerbrute 1 Hypnotic Sir 1...

:D Precisely! Like I said, I don't know how to fix it, but it's going to result in a lot of triggers that do nothing except break the game in weird corner cases of triggers that trigger on triggers, and I don't want to worry about those edge cases. Cool design, though. I must have...

For sure! Forgeborn Phoenix This card can give itself the returning text many times, which feels incredibly sloppy. Better Offer I don't see any good reason why the last sentence needs the second "perpetually," which would normally be fine except that I think it would save them a line break...

It's less important, sure, but they don't have to spend money to make it physically, meaning that there's correspondingly fewer expenses associated with its production. And they're clearly not budgeting much for the designers, given the incredibly poor wording on some of these cards, so I'd...

Honestly, why can't we do this in person? WotC obviously can't let people search without revealing for tournament reasons, but in a format such as cube where we're likely playing with people we know well and in which the stakes are no higher than bragging rights most of the time I think it's...

Does anyone with a better eye for art know why the art is invariably bad on the Alchemy cards? Do we think it's just rejects from the regular set, or is it something about the saturation/aspect ratio being slightly squished/different font sizes necessitated by Arena? Also, Seek X and Cascade...

Neonate feels disappointing to cast 25-50% of the time, whereas I always feel like I get my money's worth out of Epicure. I would go to two Epicures before I added a Neonate unless Aristocrats really need a boost or something.

Judge's Familiar Hard Evidence The Blackstaff of Waterdeep Lantern Bearer Siren Stormtamer Hypnotic Siren Enclave Cryptologist Depending on what you want to do and your definition of "1-drop," I've found these to be reasonable creature and creature-adjacent cards that mostly get played on turn...

Maybe this is heretical, but could Lizard Blades be the cut for the helm? It's a similar slot and if you squint they're both aggro cards. +2/+2 is an awful lot like double strike on critters that are 2/2 or smaller, after all.

It's a very fun card, but it's also $65, so . . .

Cards look cool! Are the names going to get changed? It seems like a very decisive decision to use the same name and artwork as existing cards while retaining a similar effect.
