God Damn WOTC making crappy D&D cards and forcing me to re-name my Minecraft customs. :mad:

I thought writing my top 10 article for this set was going to be difficult given how many truly great cards there are, turns out there are actually quite a few cards I was able to talk about and I was never grasping for any straws. This set isn't great, but it's actually not bad either.

If you support an aggro deck I'm partial to: Rakdos Cackler It's a nice little 1-drop that can be a great damage source in both aggressive Red and Black decks.

Well this is going to get reprinted in every Green commander pre-con for the rest of time.

I may have needed more Smelt type effects and fewer Burst Lightnings in order to keep the artifact-based hate in check. Embereth Shieldbreaker may have been a good option because it is two spells for the price of one card. I think Tinder Wall allowing for an "oops, I did my storm on my first...

I'm pretty sure we had a conversation about this on discord the other day:p

I'm not sold on needing 1WWW (including a colorless land) in order to try this "combo." It seems very janky except for the 1% of the time it actually works, in which case it's just annoying. This exceeds Chain of Smog levels of gimmicky.

Guys they printed a Death and Taxes enchantment!

The Druid class is Communism.

Ojutai at home. Hexproof becomes Ward {4} and Anticipate becomes a flat Draw with a Pokémon TCG-esque draw up effect. It is a bit odd that the Blue dragon is the one that lives in the Desert, but I think that has something to do with D&D lore that I am not aware of at this time. I might end up...

Not to the part about the lawsuit ;)

Ok Sabrina

This is probably one of the better cards in the set. It starts as an on-curve creature, becomes a mini Luminarch Aspirant that isn't susceptible to removal, and finally turns into a Vizier of the Menagerie. Ranger class is pretty good, and can make it into all but the fastest of Cubes for...

I think it's very environment-dependent, but I think Gonti, Lord of Luxury is a much better card. It has a more defensive body, and the ability to draw a relevant card more often. I think Gonti is really good here.

Well, in this fight, Living Death still wins. You can actually build around Living Death as a combination of Wrath+Make a Giant Board, something which isn't possible with Twilight's Call. The call, costing extra mana and not having that neat effect, just isn't nearly as good. It's still a fun...

That is probably the best deck name I have ever seen on the Planet. That's why there are 10 in the Cube. I should have added some Tinder Walls as well. Thank you for drafting my Cube everyone!

I legitimately think this card is one of the more interesting cards in the entire set. It's a nice clean design that provides some nice reach for red decks without being oppressive. I don't think it's good enough for most Cubes, but I could see including this in a Peasant Cube of some variety...

5 mana > 6 mana. It's so much easier to cast those other two cards because they cost a little bit less. Getting a board full of creatures out of the graveyard is also much stronger than getting a bunch of random artifacts and enchantments in most Cubes. To be fair, I don't think Open the...
