    General [STX] Strixhaven Spoilers

    Mark Rosewater posted his Strixhaven Teaser the other day and I wanted to share some speculations. I'm not going to go over every point because most of them are impossible to gleam just from the tiny bits of information we know about the set. However, there are a couple of ideas I had which I am...

    General The Sets of 2021

    Luckily, according to the Universes Beyond announcement made by Wizards of the Coast last month, Adventures in the Forgotten Realms is not going to be part of magic's canonic lore. To quote WOTC directly: So while it is possible they may decide to merge the multiverses in the future, for now...

    The Judge Promo costs more than my entire cube!

    Well this comment aged well. Or poorly, depending on wether or not you want to count not updating the cube over the pandemic as letting the cube "lie fallow."

    This card's main interaction is with the free haste granted by suspend. The more suspend within a format, the better it gets!

    Keep both, cut a narrow card instead.

    This should do it! (commander:ub -ci:c t:artifact) It's very similar to what sigh suggested. If that doesn't work, try this!

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Green midrange decks in most environments tend not to be Sylvan Library decks. Most green decks want to go Dork-->Stomper or Dork-->Dork-->Stomper. Sylvan Library does not fit cleanly into that curve. Green decks also have access to some of the best reasonable card selection/board advantage...

    I don't think people will say MV at all- "Mana Value" is short enough to be practical to say without the need for an acronym. In that regard, it's actually a step up over converted mana cost, which was both wordy and somewhat confusing to new players. I still think many people will say CMC...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Contraband Kingpin For Artifacts or Hostage Taker for any midrange/control strategy. Dragonlord Atarka Good reanimation and ramp target. Kitchen Finks A Great piece for Midrange with synergy for Aristocrats and Counters strategies. Very good, very playable, please run. Usher of the Fallen It...

    These aren't really comparable outside of being U/G. I have not been too impressed by Littjara mirror lake in ~20 drafts of Kaldheim, but the best thing you can really do with it in that format on average is clone a Ravenous Lindwurm or maybe a Sarulf's Packmate if you're lucky. Looking at your...

    Archon of Sun's Grace and Setessan Champion would have been what the enchantment deck needed to come together if they themselves were enchantments.

    General Revisiting Aristocrat Environments: Things that don't mind dying

    Reveillark is one of those cards people building powered cubes who don't understand format balance play. It doesn't really belong in high powered environments. It's neat in a lot of riptide cubes, though!

    Not a 3/3 for 3 that gains life ;) I mean, it's the objectively superior card. But if you want the life, it's only a 2/1.
