    Sets (STX) Strixhaven Testing/Includes Thread

    I've been flunk'd as early as turn 2 before- it's way easier to pull off than it looks. I'm not sure the hand information thing is that big of an issue in paper as you can look at how many cards are in your opponent's hand without necessarily having to ask. Anecdotally, I also tend to ask how...

    The Black Cube

    This seems extremely viable here since you run so many "gold" cards in your non-black section. 81 gold cards at 532 is way more than most cubes would ever even consider fielding. It would be even better if you could find a way to add more U/B and R/B cards to the Cube. Definitely test this.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I really don't know if anyone considers it a staple in 2021. Kor Skyfisher is rarely amazing, but it's never a card you're unhappy to have in your White creature-based deck. It has a lot of neat angles that drafters can try to exploit. It's just a solid filler card that can contribute value to...

    Quandrix Apprentice has been fantastic so far (although that isn't really a secret), Flunk has been way better than I was expecting, and the Command cycle has been really fun as well. Witherbloom Apprentice has been growing on me a lot as I have been playing the set in Retail limited. It acts...

    I agree with this. The Strix Scale is a good tool for helping people figure out where they want their Cube to live in terms of power level, but it doesn't tell another person much about the actual makeup of the Cube itself. I think your article about the First Four Questions a Cube Designer...

    I think this card is pretty cool in low-power environments: Saheeli, Sublime Artificer Saheeli is great because: -She's a nice engine piece that gives players a reason to be the Spells deck. -She's a hybrid card that can go into Blue or Red decks. -She contributes to Izzet Spells but can also...

    Yours is a classic Riptide cube.

    I think the big thing here to notice is that both Funchian Designs and Classic Riptide Cubes are both Decks-Not-Cards formats.I wasn't getting what I needed out of just Riptide design theory when I decided I wanted to raise the power level of my Cube to match my desired style of gameplay. While...

    I want to find some high-power 1 and 2 mana cantrips other than the usual suspects (Brainstorm, Ponder, Preordain, Omen of the Sea, etc.). If you have an explanation as to why you like them that would be great.

    General Forum upgrade: tomorrow at some point (Sunday, April 25th)

    Yeah, it makes my profile picture look weird, too (considering that it's a square Minecraft skin in a circle). The new "online" badge location doesn't help either, it makes my profile look like it's eating a Pea! :)

    I really like these changes! Thalia is a favorite card of mine, I'm glad to see you giving her a try. She should be pretty good in aggressive strategies.

    I really enjoyed tonight's podcast, although I didn't have time to watch the whole thing. I will have to watch the rest once it's on Youtube! If it's on when I have time, sure!

    This is exactly what we needed in these trying times!

    Lash of Malice I think the new Lash of Malice is pretty cool! It can be Disfigure to kill small things, and a Mutagenic Growth to help push through damage on your big things! It's a very cool card.

    I'm starting finals right now, so I haven't been able to be super active and won't be for another 2-ish weeks. I do have some articles I want to write after I finish my last exam on May 12th. By that time, we will probably be in Modern Horizons 2 spoiler season though :rolleyes:. I have...

    I don't quite know if there is a way to get exactly what you're looking for, but if you use the following search: That will generate a list of Red cards printed after the Dominaria damage "any target" rules change that are available in paper.

    Very true, this card looks insane in your format.
