That is true. The larger point I was trying to make was that the vast majority of Morph cards are not going to be that good in the majority of cubes in 2020 on account of how a morph body stacks up against a normal creature's body. When morph was first printed in Onslaught back in 2002, the only...

I have not listened to this podcast episode, although I will definitely check it out. Thank you for the suggestion!

Lol

Yep, that's the reason. Ravnic has 37 fairly efficient 2-drop creatures which make the majority of morph cards look pretty bad. While I think cards like Den Protector, Vesuvan Shapeshifter, and Deathmist Raptor are reasonable inclusions given their stats decent as creatures without morph and the...

I think this card is neat, but I think it's ceiling isn't high enough to justify it's floor of a 3/2 for 3 with unearth. The card is good design, but not quite where I would want it power wise. I like Turtle Friend! He's not a card I'd want to put into a non-commander cube, but I love his...

I don't want to get too far into this either because it's entirely unimportant, I just think your overly pessimistic viewpoint is largely incorrect in many regards and is neither helpful or constructive. It bothers me to no end that you're complaining about good magic sets after we just came out...

I don't know, Morph is pretty bad in cube these days. If your other morphs play well I'm sure Riptide Survivor can, but I'm dubious as to wether or not it's actually good.

Ok, a couple things. First, this set actually has an Unlimited Print Run. While cards from this set will be a little more scarce than standard release cards, there is not cap on how much of this gets printed. As long as people are buying it, there will be more. The booster box prices also only...

My day is Un-ruined. This looks sweet and has the potential to add a lot of power to the board. I'll take 7.

If the rocks could hit players this would be really cool, but as is, this card is really bad. It's such a cool design, but they just couldn't make the rocks good enough, could they...

No this card is very fun. It helps end stalling games and adds the monarch to the table. Also, unlike Jace, Memory Adept, you only have to hit the player controlling this once with any creature to stop them from having access to the big mill. Savannah Lions can't shut off Jace's mill, it can...

I'd like to hear more about how you've formulated your math, but perhaps that should be in it's own thread. I just noticed you're new to posting on Riptide. I guess since I've seen you so much elsewhere it didn't occur to me that you haven't posted here until Monday :confused:. I would...

Fyndhorn Elves with M15 border and Dominaria Mana Template! WooHoo! I'm going to pick up one of these in foil if I can.

This is neat! Is a cantrip creature something Red wants?

The fact that they're dedicating actual space in this set to Flying Tribal is really saddening to me. Could they really not come up with a more interesting U/W limited archetype than fliers One Time???

Very good article Parker!

Lol what the heck is this... I like this card, it seems cool, but I've seen some people say it's bad because it does sometimes bounce your spell back to hand. I like how this plays in prowess type decks where you don't really care wether or not your spell resolves so much as wether or not...

I think this project is cool, but I have no idea how to use this information :/ It's a bit interesting that Highball and The Elegant Cube* are both about equal in terms of words per card. Highball is 1 word higher in regards to median words per card excluding reminder text, but The Elegant...

I really like this design. Very neat!

How greedy do you have to be? Depends on how fast your format is. Or how expensive does your 4+ number of walkers have to be in order to run this card in a deck? I would call it broken with a Bolas or Ugin but Bolas is almost not castable in the same deck. I don't think you need 4 walkers in...
