    I think this is supposed to be the Siege Rhino... although it's really closer to Mantis Rider. I'm not that big of a fan to be honest. I'm sure this card is fine, and it may even see Standard play, but I'm skeptical about its Cube prospects. The main reason why people are willing to take and...

    Oh BTW I think I'm done being in shambles now lol.

    Nice Drake Haven enabler you got there... :) I think instant speed Chart a Course is probably good anywhere, but it's especially nice for reanimator//discard shenanigans.

    I think this card is just good. You obviously need some number of token producers but I don't believe you need actual dedicated support outside of "good cards that make tokens." This can turn a single Gilded Goose into a 2/2 or 3/1 factory. It makes Tireless Tracker into a Felidar Retreat. It...

    I never would have guessed that the owner of a treasure Capitalism Cube would be excited by a set with a major Capitalism treasure component ;)

    I wish this set had Strixhaven Vibes, that set was full of great cards.

    Great post as always!! Glad you changed this back, I liked the idea of playing stuff like Burning Oil as additional removal but not at the expense of most of the Face Burn. It was a good experiment, though! Thanks again!

    This is supposed to be a train conductor and she's... mediocre. I want to like this card, but it's just not there. It's got the potential to function as a cool engine piece, but the fact that it has to die (not leave the battlefield) in order to get the cards back makes this extremely...

    Broadly speaking I agree with what you're saying here. Rarity is supposedly meant to have something to do with card complexity, but that has gotten somewhat muddled in recent years as complexity has increased across the board. Likewise, the focus of low-rarity cards has shifted from being simple...

    Please elaborate?

    More White counter spells are exactly what the doctor ordered, and this one slows down board wipes by a turn while coming attached to a 3/2!

    This is why we need Syndicalism

    This card is single-handedly going to revive the “where to place Kird Ape” debate. I think it’s Mono-black with upside. I really wish the ability to cast cards with collection counters was tied to the cards themselves and not controlling Evelyn. I think she’s too fragile for a lot of...

    Oh true I think it's ridiculous that these cards saw no play for like half a decade and then all of the sudden everyone decided they were good because they were in a crappy standard set. He's got the 10 treasure tokens for Revel in Riches

    I think most of these cards look super mid, and not in a "fun in low power" kind of way. I think they have a lot of words and not a lot of substance outside of the Command Zone... ...except for Anhelo. I agree with you, this guy is pretty cool! I don't think he has the best rate but being...

    You might enjoy having a little chat with your players... ...you could even Light 'Em Up! (I don't like that this card can't hit players and is a sorcery but burn is illegal in Standard right now. I think this card is still serviceable in lower power or slower environments with Sacrifice and...

    To be fair, the Ally buddy lands were only like 75 cents until Wizards reprinted them in Ixalan and people remembered they exist. They became a few dollars during their second jilt in Standard and never lost all the value they gained. This is price memory or something along those lines. I mean...

    This set borrows much of it's structure from Khans of Tarkir, which had about 10 cards with each unique faction keyword. However, each set in the Khans block also had roughly 30 Morph (or morph-adjacent) cards which Streets of New Capenna won't have. Each unique mechanic that appeared in the...

    Not really, Thanos is closer to Nicol Bolas. This is closer to a guy named Kingpin.
