    Your "Never Ever" Archetypes

    You might want to look in the Neon Dynasty spoiler thread ;)

    General Archetypes you'd never play

    Yeah, I agree with you here. One of the reasons why I moved away from stuff like Animate Dead and Reanimate in favor of Unburial Rites and friends is because the faster reanimation begs lightning fast ways to fill the graveyard, which can often lead to huge amounts of card disadvantage and...

    Clone ninja? Clone ninja. This is making me want to try and force a mono-blue proactive deck into my cube smh. Maybe this could be a cool one-drop for U/R tempo? I feel like @Onderzeeboot will like this one :)

    One for each Kirin as well :) Celestial Kirin Cloudhoof Kirin Infernal Kirin Skyfire Kirin Bounteous Kirin I love the way they're implementing all of these old references. They're doing a good job of connecting long-dead characters (or, at the very least, still alive characters who aren't in...

    General Archetypes you'd never play

    So I was inspired by the name of this thread to talk about archetypes you would never want to play. Even though the point of that thread was to discuss archetypes WOTC hasn't supported (or might never support), the name sounded like a discussion of archetypes people would never play in their own...

    More Saga Art! Era of Enlightenment: Teachings of the Kirin: Also, this saga has some lore explaining the Orochi redesign in-universe. This is slightly abbreviated for this post, but you can read the whole story here. For centuries, the orochi led their lives largely within the Jukai...

    I don't play persist because it's so cheap and so many of the cool reanimation targets are legendary, so I wouldn't know exactly. For you I would guess it's a positive given the relative power level of the rest of your reanimation suite and Cube as a whole. Double reanimate seems very...

    Is that really a problem? Fair reanimator decks tend to be midrangier than comboey so having a nice big threat to cast seems like an upside more than an issue.

    Sets (NEO) Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Previews

    Yeah, it's like WOTC saved all of the best art (both traditional and experimental) for this set :p. It's really amazing to me how well they've been able to combine the old-school traditional Japanese art with the Cyberpunk stuff. I kind of thought the set would be half of one half of the other...

    More art, these are mostly for Sagas: The Kami War (Confirms a leak!) The Life of Toshiro Umezawa Michiko's Reign of Truth Azusa's Many Journeys The Dragon-Kami Reborn The Shattered States Era Hopefully, these have dispelled any lingering fears about classic Kamigawa not being...

    It was from this worldbuilding panel. I think there are a couple pieces of art I missed grabbing (mostly concept art, although I think there was another Samurai and another Ogre I missed), but this is basically everything shown off during the stream.

    You know, I really wish people would stop complaining about the Cyberpunk side of the new Kamigawa. At this point it's been confirmed a hunderd ways that the traditional style people enjoyed from the first set is returning and playing an integral role in the new world. There might be some...

    Sets (NEO) Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Previews

    There was a Mardu Shrines deck going around in the Historic Artisan (cards that are either common or uncommon and have been printed on Magic Arena) tournament last week, and it was so toxic to play against. Basically, the deck relied on having Sanctum of Stone Fangs or Honden of Infinite Rage...

    Hey guys, I need some help! I want to start writing a new interactive Cube article series. These articles will examine cards and how they interact with broader Cube environments. If you would like to participate, DM me a card and a link to a cube it’s in or you’d like to add it to. You can also...

    He feels like a good enabler for MTGO/MTGS style Vintage/Legacy Cube reanimator decks with Looter Il-Kor and Suspicious Stowaway. I kind of want to test this as weird reanimator redundancy for my Cube, but my gut feeling is that he's way swinger than anything I would normally like. He requires...

    General Fight Club

    What's the point of these cards? I don't really see a discard theme or anything that would lead players in a direction in which they would want a card like these options outside of a couple of reanimation spells in black. These cards aren't particularly great reanimation support so I don't think...

    General Tournament of Champions: Community Sealed Event

    This is a deck containing Dennis, the best Magic card ever printed.. The deck aims to grind down the opponent and kill them with big value creatures. There's not much to say- it's a reactive midrange deck with Siege Rhino. The only note is that I left Kogla, the Titan Ape in the sideboard...
