    I fixed the image! These are Boxtopper promos (i.e. Not actual cards in the Main Set), so that's why the Uncommons have the rare hologram treatment. I think these are just cards from the regular set with a Godzilla skin slapped on them to make them special and promotional. Again, notice how...

    I did some more digging in the 4chan thread these came from, and someone posted a screenshot of an earlier comment! This was posted 10 days before this thread. All of this is real. Oh my god. -Head Explodes-

    OK, we have actual leaks with pictures now. These came from 4chan's traditional games board originally, I found them on MTGSalvation. Are these fake? Apparently these are all actual Kaiju monsters from Godzilla mythos. Having said that, these could be more plants to get us speculating in...

    "Maelstrom" is just a Norwegian word for "whirlpool," so it isn't actually an Alara-specific thing. I bet they just used the word because it evokes the feeling of a storm and sounds high-fantasy related. As for timeless wisdom, I think Green has a far greater "timeless" quality to it than...

    So... I found this picture on reddit. Each one of these boxes corresponds to one of the decks. I noticed that the Symbiotic Swarm deck (the one that was leaked up top) is in the box that corresponds to black mana. This is significant because Black is the shared enemy color of White and Green in...

    Peasant Cube (Working)

    How about just Fires of Yavimaya + Rhythm of the Wild for gruul? If this is our "drafting while slightly intoxicated" list, why not just play a fun easy archetype that can use mostly flexible cards?

    You would copy the image link and then use "insert image" feature to upload the image. Observe: Obviously this picture is still huge since It's from scryfall and everything they upload is in HD. If you want to make it smaller, I guess you could go in and shrink the image in an image...

    Realistically speaking, you're rarely going to be casting a 4-mana creature and then another spell in the same turn. Lagonna-band Storyteller is closer to being on-rate than the mystics and has a relevant life-gain ability. Yes, I think I will gain 5 from putting my Elspeth Conquers Death back...

    Peasant Cube (Working)

    In all seriousness, Curse of Bounty is technically playable, but it won't often be better than an enchantment with the text "creatures you control gain vigilance." It will be fine with cards like Imperious Perfect and Merfolk Looter which have tap effects you may want to activate multiple times...

    Well of course these old cubes aren't going to align with synergy focused environments- they're just old powermax cubes! Back then, they didn't have access to a lot of the great creatures and stuff we have today. You don't run a bad card like Order of Leitbur because you want too, you run it...

    I was saying to avoid it because it draws a card, not simply because it's a 1/2. It sees at least a little play in every format it's legal in other than legacy only because it can (kind of) cantrip. I appreciate the time you spent on this. It was interesting to look at the history of Savannah...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Thalakos Seer The double blue is a bit rough but this seems good in Ninjas since it's usually not getting blocked and draws a card when it leaves play.

    That's kind of why I put it in air quotes. A 1/2 for 1 is better than the baseline for what you'd expect for 1 mana, and it's certainly better than a 1/1 body, if only by a little bit.

    The more I think about this, the more I've come up with the idea of "Powermax on Spells, Low Power Creatures." Like Erik pointed out, a lot of the powerful spells we still play today were printed during the "early magic" period. We didn't start seeing a lot of good creatures (that weren't...

    Well, I have toyed with the idea of building a cube using mostly older cards before. The issue is that I've only been playing magic for the last 7 or so years so I don't really have many cards printed before 2012. I'm not as familiar with the card pool outside of the modern-legal sets, so...

    I would recommend looking at 2 things: -The Sets for which you are Nostalgic. -Cubes from the Mid to Late 2000's. Basically, figure out what cards you liked from the RAV era, and figure out what made you love them and why. Then, start building a cube with them. Here are some cubes from cards...

    Thank You! Gavin Verhey made an Instagram Post talking about some stuff that will be in Ikoria Commander. Apparently, there will be creatures with the following types: -Trilobite -Goat Hydra -Badger Dinosaur So apparently WOTC is combining their Reptiles and Mammals now type-wise. Hopefully...
