I particularly like the new Deserts, both for a rarity-restricted cube perspective (taplands that deal 1 instead of gaining 1 are better in my opinion), but also for a potential new take on a "Desert cube", that is a concept I really love

okay yes, who went first can be forgotten but… we could just write it down at the beginning of the match (?) like, i don’t know if any of you ever played without any way of keeping track of life total, that is a BIG mess but is still doable. with a piece of paper we can just write down the life...

but then couldn’t this just be a “snow instant”?

How could this be possible? Snow mana does not really exist, it's just a shorthand for "mana produced by a snow source"

I don't think they ever did two cycles of allied rare lands in the same draft expansion. But they could downshift the Horizon Lands at uncommon :cool:

This is also for me the set from 2024 I have the most hype for, since I loved Lorwyn and Eldraine and this gives me the same vibes. I hope they don't ruin it. At some point I will have to build a tribal cube in some way or another ahah "enters" in place of "enters the battlefield" is sad and...

I assume you have already read the original article? https://articles.starcitygames.com/articles/whos-the-beatdown/

my favourite is the RTR one, but in my cube i have all the originals for consistency i will happily switch to the old-bordered ones though, hoping they won't be too pricy

I also was hoping for that. Also because one thing I really miss from the old "block" rotation was the mechanical development of abilities

You're missing the city's blessing!

No, Mark Rosewater said it's a 1-of, tied-to-the-character thing

This is probably my most common error, putting cards in a cube for a specific archetype and then realizing that not even that archetype wants those cards since they are too weak compared to others. Sadly this is not too easy to recognize early when you are designing the cube, but you can usually...

Well, we got Fabled Passage and Prismatic Vista in the last couple of years

very happy for you! your deck looks nice anyway

Would it be too good if you wrote "if you spent no mana produced by nonbasic lands..." ? So you could still use a mana rock to power out these one turn earlier

Yeah it's interesting, you have to balance well the colours though, for otherwise the first few land picks become trying to steal the most powerful lands. You could also add something like Manalith in the deck, just so that there is always hope to find the missing colour, idk Anyway, I really...

Ooh I really like this idea! Were you playing with a shared deck or two different piles of cards?

German is not the only language with this problem though:

I'm not totally liking the general vibe/flavour of the set, it doesn't feel so Eldraine-y to me. Satyrs?! Anyway, mechanically there are a couple cards I really love. Some of the adventure creatures, the manlands, the aura tokens seem interesting, the almost-better generous gift, etc EDIT...

Are we discussing just art or also frame? Because if it is also frame then I have a clear winner: For the Temple Garden, I know I'm late, but in my cube I have all original Shocklands from Ravnica block, except for the Temple Garden because I opened one foil from RTR (from a Dragon's Maze...
