Quite the opposite, surprisingly! The card in the set was confirmed as being called Atraxa, Grand Unifier.

I'm going to go with pretty enamored, but not at my peak. I think it's very hard to really love Magic unless you're able to actively engage with the game on a regular basis, and I just haven't been able to since before the Pandemic. I'm finishing up my senior year of College, and I'm going to...

We've seen about half of these already, but notably, we have not seen the following: –The four-color legendary creature –The Phyrexianized Staff of Domination –The Affinity Cards –The Sword So... there's still a lot of exciting stuff to be found!

Per MaRo: Before previews for Phyrexia: All Will Be One officially begin, I thought it would be fun to do another of my Duelist-style teasers where I give tiny hints of things to come. Note that I’m only giving you partial information. First up, here are some things you can expect: • an...

I'm a bit sad the forums are so dead during spoiler season. Here are some non-toxic, non-poison ONE cards. What do we think? I think this one is cool: Evolved Spinoderm It's like a glow-up for Blastoderm.

Specifically, she's a sidegrade to Ob Nixilis Reignited. I think Vraska is more interactive and more interesting than Ob Nixilis, but much like many of the other cards in this set, she seems like a card a lot of people will skip because of its complexity. Personally, I like her high starting...

It’s Spiced Ham.

I think this is somewhat true (hence why I said it). I do think Lukka's ultimate and his ability to immediately -4 if "kicked" is more interesting than Garruk, but as a whole he is less powerful if a little bit compelling.

Anyone need a second, worse, gold Garruk Wildspeaker?

I wasn't trying to put your words to shame, I was just curious to know more about what you thought :) I agree poison is super parasitic (I'm pretty sure Jason named the Poison Principle after this very mechanic?). I do think that now with the toxic mechanic, it might be possible to pull off a...

I think a big part of the reason why Magic isn't the way you remember it in the past is that the focus of the game has shifted from Noncreature spells to Creatures. The last 15 years or so have been defined by creatures reaching the power level of the spells of early Magic. While Tarmogoyf is a...

To be fair, many of these changes come back to the end of blocks. It used to be that the Mechanics in the fall set would carry all the way to the spring set, with between 4 and 6 more mechanics being layered over the fall mechanics in the subsequent sets. Now, the new mechanics in the fall sets...

What constitutes as "all in?" Would you need a full-blown Poison Cube, or just a Poison component in something like a Proliferate Cube? Could it just be a large archetype or would it need to be foundational to the Cube?

You can never have too many mommys in cube.

May I present: the world's cutest Mother of Runes! I wonder how many good cards need to have toxic before there's enough that people feel comfortable giving the mechanic a try. I think toxic is gravy on most cards with the mechanic– I definitely don't think these cards need a poison archetype...

I'm of the opinion that White counterspells shouldn't be much more powerful than Quench. As much as I love countermagic, I think too many counterspells lead to unfun gameplay where one or more players are unable to resolve anything. Unironically I think that's the reason why so many people hate...

I’m Echoing what you say. The only thing that I would be concerned about is the fact that you can only sac once per turn with this— if that’s not an issue this card is really fun.
