My picks, pack 4:

This is a lot of packs!! My picks for pack 3:

Get ready for a bunch of these.

Anyone play Twilight Imperium? I got a copy of TI3 for dirt cheap back in 2017 right before TI4 came out and adore it; I'm already looking forward to dusting it off once I'm fully vaccinated. However, it falls into the usual trap of combat being fun only for the people directly involved in it...

I'd agree with Trainmaster, generally speaking, but you don't include a lot of 1-drops anywhere outside of Green, so maybe it's okay? Anyways, I'd like to add the following friends to the party. Some might be a little on the weak side for your cube, but they have some fun applications! Don't...

Lessons Learned My Group and How I Got Feedback My group is a bit bimodal in terms of their drafting experience: four of us, (Myself/Esper, Temur, Jund, and Golos) have a fair bit of draft experience, whereas the other four of us (Lucky Boros, Unlucky Boros, Ninjas, and Simic) tend to...

I had the joy and privilege of having my cube drafted last weekend with a full 8-person pod, and it was awesome. I owe a huge thank you to the other seven folks who helped me draft and to everyone else here who has helped me get this cube to where it is today. Now, the part we're really here...

I'd agree with Mondschwein and LadyMapi on not wanting to test most of this set with the notable exception of the spell lands. (And the Blue Made-For-Commander changeling, because I feel like you can do some Dumb Stuff with that.) This cycle seems like a great option for land-based strategies or...

Oh, you can Foretell cards at instant speed?? That's not at all how I thought this worked, but now that you say it, it makes sense. Going back to the announcement, WotC saying that you may Foretell at "Any time during your turn" sure does imply that you can activate it at instant speed, but I...

Err, sorry--I mistyped there and thought it wouldn't go beyond the original discussion so didn't correct it. I meant to ask if a creature without an ETB effect could pass the Dennis Line in a cube with removal roughly equivalent to a Modern environment. But yeah, Omnath totally fits the question...

And a card! It replaces itself! This is bananas! It's a great signpost for UW flying that's not a lord, though.

You know, I was down on White for not getting new toys this set originally, but between Usher of the Fallen, Reidane, God of the Worthy, and now this, I'm very excited. Like, look at this bird. I'd have settled for a 1/1 first strike flyer, but this is even better, though the difference will be...

It's a great combo with Stuffy Doll from a few pages back, that's for sure. But beyond that...butts tribal? Enrage? Really aggressive decks in the late game with a bunch of potential trades on the board? Specific death triggers that you want to activate? It's worth noting that it's not "until...

Oh yeah, that was a good one! Dennis is a great name, but...he has trample, not menace. That's absolutely reasonable about Rhino being better on average than Angry Emo Angel in an environment in which people can be expected to have Doom Blade. I feel like I need to host a round table...

1) Is it? I honestly don't know, I've never played a Rhino. They're pretty damn good, but a Serra Angel + Removal + A Double-Striking Serra Angel seems pretty good too. 2) The rhino is named Dennis???

That's really good to know about the bots! And good to know that the top end is attractive enough. I've been wondering about the number of burn spells--by my last count I had 13, and lost one in this update, so maybe you getting 6 can be written off as an anomaly, what with the bots...
