One of my drafters is going to love this because it has the word "Zombie" written on it. I love it because it has the words "enchantment" and "graveyard" written on it. I can play this! I've wanted to get Thirst for Knowledge into the cube for a long time, and this is just that but it cares...

It's more important that the cards are fun to play with than have completely original lore. I'd much rather have a set with great cards based on well-known tropes like Throne of Eldraine than a crappy set with a unique story like Homelands. As long as the game is fun, it doesn't matter whether...

I kind of want to try The Binding of the Titans but it seems too slow for what it does. Maybe if it only milled you and milled for 4 or 5 instead of 3 it would be really good. Right now it seems a bit chaff-y. I kind of hope this turns out to be a card that looks really bad until you play...

Alpha is super underrated. Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest are 5 of the most vital cards to all cubes!

It takes a big person to admit when you're wrong, especially when you were somewhat adamant about your position before hand. I respect that. There's a certain Core set that I think I need to write about being at least partially wrong about in my initial evaluation...

Right back at you Onderz!

I will never not be happy to see Gary in a Magic set. I kind of like this new art, but I'm not sure I like it more than the original just yet.

I like Xenagos, God of Revels more as an R/G god, but I think he goes into a different deck than Klothys. Klothys is like a graveyard hate version of Sulfuric Vortex that also adds mana, while Xenagos, God of Revels is a top end finisher for Stompy. Klothys might be fun, but I'm not jumping to...

I really dislike the tone of discourse on that cube discord I was talking about the last couple of days. I get Cultic Cube and Usman hang out there, two people who I respect very highly in the cube community, but man some of the spikes are boorish. Some of those conversations make those...

The playtest cards are basically just official custom cards lol.

Oh- I thought penny for your thoughts meant you wanted me to expand upon what I said. I'm sorry for the confusion :).

I just think that excludeing targeted discard like thoughtseize from an environment is a perfectly reasonable design decision. Someone said "Good cards lead to good gameplay" and I was trying to illustrate that good cards aren't always good at fostering fun environments. A lot of people do not...

Then they might think there's an actual food deck even more than if the wolf was just alone :confused: Gilded Goose and Gingerbrute are just fine by themselves. They're good magic cards!

When you have literal 14 year olds in your playgroup sometimes you have to ignore cards with flavor text and just be blunt :rolleyes: You're right about this card though. It is way better than it looks, even without the foodstuffs.

For those of you who don't use targeted discard because you don't think it's fun- I just spent 20 minutes trying to defend you all on the MTG cube brainstorming discord against a bunch of spikes who seem to think black would be crippled without Thoughtseize. I don't even not run targeted...

I have it in the cube but I've only had one draft since it was added and I haven't seen it played yet. It is good in any Llanowar Elves deck.

Glint-Horn Buccaneer is still fine. I'm not as hot on it as I once was, but only because it turned out to be a little less good in generic aggro decks as I thought it would be. Tomebound Lich is way less interesting than other options for U/B, especially if you want to support discard matters...

How about 2 or 3? I like 2 the most, but like Onderz pointed out, 3 has the most Magic-y art.

If you're looking for aggressive green 3s to follow up a t1 dork, I can see the following being good: Rhonas the Indomitable Boon Satyr Great Sable Stag Jadelight Ranger Lovestruck Beast Predator Ooze Prowling Serpopard Selesnya Eulogist Troll Ascetic Just to name a few.

That's ok! I'm interested to see if I can adapt some form of the prefix-suffix idea to my own projects in the future. It looks really fun!
