We're getting JumpStart previews starting tomorrow. I wanted to make sure the preview thread was ready so that people are posting JumpStart cards here instead of in the M21 thread.

This is a testing/includes thread. Post pictures or a text list using /c with what cards you plan to include and what cards you plan to test. Includes: Including if I open: Testing: It's kind of interesting going back and looking at the full set now that we've seen the whole thing. It...

Couple of quick hits from the full preview: This card basically does everything. It's a shame it costs 4, because the individual pieces of this are all very good. This aristocrats enabler seems very playable, even at higher power levels. If crats are a deck in your cube, I'd implore you to...

I saw a post on Instagram the other day that said something to the effect of: "Boomers spent so much time berating Millennials for being snowflakes that they accidentally created an army of Marxist Super-Soldiers in Gen Z."

"Mr. Train" is just about the best thing anyone has ever called me on the internet :D.

Niv Doesn't really seem castable in a cube environment save for one with god-tier fixing, and even then I'm not sure the payoff is worth the huge number of potential deck building restrictions. Hero of Precinct One, on the other hand, seems like it could work quite well with some hybrid white...

This is also our 31 options card. I think this card is a little on the expensive side, but the fact that it's an instant helps a lot. Seems good!

This is the cutest card I've seen all day. It looks very fun for retail limited!

A bunch of new Counters cards were spoiled, these are my two favorites: Conclave Mentor is the Signpost card the Selesnya +1/+1 counters deck has been waiting for. I've considered Winding Constrictor before, but the snake was never in the right colors for me. Conclave Mentor might make me...

I've been considering running this card for a while, I think this downshift is a sign for me to give it a test.

Boooooring. If I wanted a card that pooped out beast tokens, I'd play Vivien, Monsters' Advocate or the original Garruk Wildspeaker. This card is very powerful, it even has decent decision points, it's just none of these choices play into the plan of any deck particularly well and don't lead to...

This seems like the best version of this effect. It draws you a card if you already have a big thing, buffs big things you've played before it, and gives you card advantage from your later big plays. I think this card is very good and possibly even cube worthy. Also, can we just take a moment...

I think the answer is yes, we do like cards that can enable themselves. One of the issues we often have when building riptide cubes is getting micro archetype decks to function without having to go completely overboard on space usage power-band broadness. Although one could easily make a deck...

This is just about the most riptide-y card ever printed baring Wand of Vertebrae type trinkets. It's a reanimation spell and enabler bundled up in the same card! It's not even particularly fragile, so it can be a relevant blocker. I also like how this card slots right into cycling/discard style...

Well, you see, even though the common is clearly the superior card, the Uncommon sees more play in commander than the common, meaning that it should be rarer despite it's general worse-ness.

What a good boy!! This card is teasing me so much with a Lightning Bolt reprint...

What is going on with this set? Last year, they gave us a dumpster fire (which had some admittedly good cards in it, but I'm not forgiving them for this hearthstone garbage). This year, they're basically giving us a mini masters set with a wealth of non-narrow playables and Dogs. DOGS!!! I...

Najeela is just a snowballing Goblin Rabblemaster. You decide wether or not the attacking player makes a token, so if your opponent has a warrior, you don't have to give them anything. Most of the other warriors from battlebond proper are pretty bad, even if you have a ferocious theme. I...
