Feels more like a slam dunk for the Pauper Cube than anything else. Blink people might like it, for sure!

I’m still on vacation so I’m not in front of my computer and therefore cannot write a super long thing, but I’m noticing that you don’t really have enough creatures from your tribes for their respective decks to always come together when someone tries to draft them. I’ll elaborate more later...

Looking good Pete!!

Steel Overseer is getting a reprint. I wish they would have reprinted more old cards that need a price reduction instead of some of the weird new color hate stuff, but beggars can’t be choosers. I’m looking forward to a $5 overseer!! This doesn’t change my opinion on the set, but it makes me...

HL Well, you’re halfway there :D. Let’s see if they’ll stick... Ravnic’s gonna love these XD This might be worth a test. The real question is whether or not this is more flexible than the myriad of other good green 1s. I’m kind of interested in this, but I’m unsure as to whether or not it’s...

Although I would generally agree with this statement, this set as a whole just doesn’t have as much for as many people as most of the previous sets. You’re always going to have a card or 2 from a given set that someone is going to want to try or play. For example, Pete seemed interested in...

This set is looking very slim for cube. M20 may well be the worst cube set in a few years...

Ok, I have some opinions on this set, but I’m away so I can’t post pictures as usual. First, none of the walkers in this set are new, and the only one hasn’t had a Real* card before. Mu Yanling is getting a new card! Vivien is back for the 3rd time in a year. I think she kind of sucks as a...

Thank you for your comment! While I don't think an entire cast triggers archetype is correct for the environment I wish to create, Bygone Bishop is a card I have definitely been eyeing as a replacement for Mentor of the Meek. Being able to push the card-draw to a later date while still...

Starfield of Nyx History of benalia Fall of the Thran Heliod, God of the Sun Parallax Wave Astral Drift Astral Slide Banishing Light Oblivion Ring Cast Out Force of Virtue Ghostly Prison Humility Sigil of the Empty Throne I didn't even include any auras! I also didn't list more than 3 of my...

Making room for Wrenn and Six: The Modern Horizons Update Discussion Modern Horizons has brought a bunch of new toys for the Highball cube. Some provide great support for my existing archetypes, while others are going to be useful in enabling fringe strategies to become more playable. Loam...

I know but I seem to remember reading somewhere that she also has/had a crush on Gideon at some point in time before he died. Don't get me wrong though, I much prefer Chandra and Nissa together. Gruulfriends is my favorite ship!

I'm about 90% sure that Chandra is Bi in the WAR novel.

Why do we even need Planeswalker-themed core sets? How does a character like Garruk, Liliana, Chandra, Jace, Ajani, Tamiyo, Bolas, or Tibalt represent magic as a whole? I think the answer is that they don't. Origins was one of the most fun core sets because it's theme was: the Origins of the...

This one is hot... ...these two are not Also, didn't we just get a Chandra-themed core set back in 2013? Was a second one really necessary? Is Chandra actually the most popular Planeswalker now and WOTC just hasn't publicly admitted it yet? Are we getting reprints of Abbot of Keral Keep...

Omenspeaker's ability to set up draws is far better than sometimes grabbing an instant or sorcery, even in cube. Vivien, champion of the wilds requires way too many creatures to be card advantage most of the time. Basically, she's usually just a Vedalken Orrery for creatures that also gives a...

Alright, I'm going to try something a little bit different today. I've got two cards I want to add to my cube: Goblin Engineer Tectonic Reformation The only problem is that they are both red cards, and as such, they are in my tightest color. Instead of helping me find two cards to play, can you...

I kind of want to try this for the meme value :p. I might cut it after a draft or two, but killing people with squirrels seems really fun...

It is so easy to get removal in this set's limited environment it isn't even funny! MH1 Draft feels kind of like an odd cube in some regards, although there are more narrow/unplayable/filler cards than one would want to see in cube.

I just wrote an entire blog post-thing about implementing artifacts matter sub themes into green. I think it could revolutionize the way artifacts are treated in cube: The Train Station: Mono-Green Artifacts
