    TBH I was this close to what I was considering. I'm leaving scolding on the wayside because I'm not sure blue needs this in my cube, and I'm not actually convinced Tirith is that good. Edit fuck it I'm gonna cut some duplicate cantrip for Stern Scolding, it counters snapcaster. Someone tag me...

    Yeah I think that's about it. I'm okay with that, there's a ton of super interesting card here, they're just not quite for me. It reminds me of the 40k decks (though there's like 300 cards here so you get a lot less quality, pound for pound) where I have a ton to say about random cards in this...

    Okay I love the flavor here, and while I'm a bit wary of the power level of "Control Magic + Monarch", that sounds dope :D What if we just made SO MUCH CARDBOARD Huh, this is a solid Omenspeaker. Y'all wanted more lifegain payoffs, this might be interesting I've gotten SO MUCH great...

    You do have to find explicitly creatures, but this is pretty easy to trigger, cheap and happens the turn you play it if you set it up right! It's got the sword of X&Y cost of 3 to cast, 2 to equip, but it makes 2 spirits instead of protection and whatever fucked up damage trigger you feel like...

    But do they have reminder text :p Huh, would ward normally have reminder text here or has it passed into the realm flying sits in?

    http://mythicspoiler.com/newspoilers.html for the bleeding edge, this isn't confirmed, might not even be translated level of engagement https://www.mtggoldfish.com/spoilers for the more reasonable all these cards are translated, confirmed, and nobody's thumb is over the mana cost spoilers.

    No comment :p Edit: Pithy jokes aside, my cube being ~20% custom cards both helps and hurts. When drafting with enfranchised players new to my cube, they haven't had to read in a while: they know what the cards do. Sometimes that leads to them shortcutting over the real rules text of things, or...

    This is kinda sick, right? I certainly don't run any legends this doesn't fix for on it's own, so you could splash some cool shit I'm sure Not bad! Hardly the best statline, but the fact you get a trigger when you play him is pretty solid. Scratch one off MARO's bingo card, we have our...

    Again I am impressed with the quality of the landcyclers, and 6 power kinda unblockable for 6 aint bad! Neato! For combo potential it aint no Birgi, but it's a lot better in a fair context I think. Interesting! If you were on the Obzedat's Aid train, this looks interesting as a fair...

    Both cards are excellent, I do (and would) absolutely run both. I think the biggest bit here is instant vs sorcery TBH. You run a lot of haste/creaturelands? :P

    Odd to me that they didn't do the "Haste, other horses you control have haste" thing they usually do with lords. If this sounds sweet to you, play Bonus round insted and actually have a big turn. I'm not sure either of those cards are better than Past in Flames/Underworld Breach/Yawgmoth's...

    I don't mind the UB frame, but it does look like we've got some choice for a lot of these

    Okay, I can see it. IF you're attacking with an army every turn, this does a bootleg Luminarch Aspirant impression, which I think is notable mostly because of how strong Aspirant is. This also actually dies to a bounce spell, you can restart the process via a mutavault or other amass card, maybe...

    There are a LOT of cards in this spoiler dump, and a LOT of them make food. There's so many opportunities to add artifacts token stuff with these cards. If that sounds like fun to you, take a deeper look! Here's what stood out to me: Look I thiiiiink this is just worse than evolving wilds but...

    In my experience, they're good. Not broken, not horrible, they don't warp games, they don't completely upend your decision making process, they're just fine. I'm playing these 4: Invasion of Gobakhan Invasion of Mercadia Invasion of Tarkir Invasion of Ixalan Invasion of Tarkir is probably more...
