This is fine by itself sometimes and if you can go off with a small storm with this early you get a massive burst of mana in the future A very flexible smoother if you want that Look at this Chris Taylor homage

After 2004 Deed existed in Extended formats with Mirrodin which meant the entire Affinity deck, artifact lands, Chrome Mox, and Isochron Scepter with Orim's Chant so blowing up more than creatures was very relevant. After that initial investment parking it there as an instant-speed sweeper made...

CubeCon submission, will make thread once PT stuff is over

I put together a Kamigawa/Ravnica/Time Spiral Cube to capture the era where I started playing and one of my favourite eras of design (you ever wonder if those two things are linked? probably not), worth revisiting when I have some time

Let's say you were drafting a Brawl Cube (think competitive 1v1 Commander/Tiny Leaders/whatever) - what legends would you be most excited to open and try to run as your Commander (ignoring colour identity or any other restrictions)?

If your Cube is an Urza block Cube where the creatures all follow the design conventions of the time (slow and/or bad) then of course you won't get the most mileage out of Opposition, but I think it says a lot that it has been excellent in every Limited format (my one Dominaria Remastered draft...

I wrote what may be the most detailed deck guide of all time about the coolest deck in Modern

it's Incubate 3 X times, not Incubate X 3 times (yes, it's needlessly confusing) - if you cast it for 0 you get nothing extra

Love this so much, I didn't see anything that wowed me in the Commander decks so far but this by itself is everything I wanted

Also shoutout to the first and best 'DFCs': Erayo, Soratami Ascendant

Hard to say without playing a single game with the cards yet but I'm excited for Battles - they seem like they unlock the good parts of planeswalkers (incentives to play more creatures and care more about how those creatures engage in combat) while avoiding the bad parts and they give you a cool...

Sam Black is one of the top Magic theorists who always has something worth thinking about even if you reject the conclusions. In a recent episode of his Limited podcast Drafting Archetypes he gave some general thoughts on Cube after his experience at CubeCon - I recommend watching/listening...

I like this big lad Dargo, the Shipwrecker

2022 REVIEW SURVEY (crossposted from here) Cube Hit Watchwolf Trained Armodon This year continued the trend of great Watchwolves (or rather Fleecemane Lions): hard-hitting two-drops with some other utility. Increasingly I think two-drops are a crucial spot on the curve for a Cube deck or a...

Cube Hit Watchwolf Trained Armodon This year continued the trend of great Watchwolves (or rather Fleecemane Lions): hard-hitting two-drops with some other utility. Increasingly I think two-drops are a crucial spot on the curve for a Cube deck or a Cube environment as a whole - three mana gets...

Wrote about my Magic ups and downs of 2022 and the lessons I'll take into this year: https://trialofknowledge.blogspot.com/2023/01/2022-review2023-goals.html

I love Magic - even if the game officially ended or went off a cliff tomorrow, I'd still have a lifetime of fond memories of my time with the game and would keep thinking about new Cubes or Premodern decks etc. That said, I have a personal/professional/social interest in various parts of the...

The Phyrexians took a cool PW and made him boring and bad {B/P}

I would also accept Shitterblossom

Infinite mana with Devoted Druid/immediate 'haste' for stuff like Goblin Welder
