    General (LTR / LTC) Lord of the Rings Testing/Includes Mega Thread!

    Indeed! I've actually hyperlinked WTYP stuff in some of my other writings before. As for my favorite episode, I'm just going to say the I-35 Bridge Collapse episode I linked. It was far enough into the show that they had an idea of what they were doing, but it was well before they started...

    The funny thing is, Magic didn't initially have the 4 cards to a deck rule. In fact, decks didn't even need 60 cards at the time: the minimum was 40! It wasn't until people started playing decks consisting of 20 Mountains and 20 Lightning Bolts that the "4 cards to a deck" rule was added and the...

    The more we see of this set the more I think it should not be called "Commander Masters" and instead should be called "Timmy Card Masters." It feels like the design goal of this set is to make everyone draft decks that feel like EDH circa 2009. This is funny because most of the reprints are...

    That's a weird way of spelling Modern :)

    Are you on a mobile phone and/or tablet? I think the options on non-desktop platforms are different/harder to use.

    I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about. What list of creatures? I was just saying that Commander is inherently unbalanced because of the free regenerating 8th starting card, longer games leading to more must-answer threats being cast, and large singleton decklists leading to a lot...

    Finally seen some more previews for this set. There are some new full-art versions of a few popular Cube cards: (Grand Abolisher, Finale of Devastation, Urza, Lord High Artificer). There are also reprints with the Etched Foil treatment: And some good rarity downshifts: (Rishkar, Peema...

    The Balrog kind of seems like a C+//B- Reanimator target. Is it really going to create more fun than R/B's other popular cards like Kroxa, Kolaghan's Command, and so on? I think The Balrog of Moria falls into the same category as some of R/B's other more niche cards like Ob Nixilis, the...

    Card/Deck Cheeky Token Deck

    You don’t think getting a free 3/1 every time you play a creature is going to significantly swing the game into your favor? Greeters is fantastic, totally should have included it in the OP. I think this is one of the best cheap Green creatures that isn’t a mana dork, it has a nice snowball...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Doesn't the ability overwrite the Vehicle's power and toughness to be 0/0? You still get the good ability, I suppose, which is definitely helpful for something like Parhellion II.

    It does have the goats in the art, so I suppose it could work!

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    As others have mentioned, the intersection between "Storm" and "Reanimator" is a bit lacking. I'd definitely lean into Bedlam Reveler just because it works very well with decks that are looking to fill the graveyard. Otherwise, you may have success with something like Bogardan Hellkite that just...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Sounds great! There's a lot of good Planeswalker removal nowadays that also doubles as creature removal, so that really helps to seamlessly integrate Planeswalkers into more Cubes.

    A 9/9's worth of creatures for 4 mana is pretty good!

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I think a play pattern you're often going to run into with Garruk Wildspeaker is "+1 mana–>Overrun" in decks that don't pay too much attention to the cute untap synergy stuff. The card is powerful enough that players can easily use it as a good value card in divergent strategies aside from the...
