Yes, but it has a real effect on how our drafters actually draft! It isn't just some kind of curiosity, there's going to be an actual tangible relationship to what kind of draft experience people will have. I kinda like these new walkers! They feel like more of a build around than pure value...

But that's easy for us to say, who think about cube and design every now and then. For a lot of the players that draft our cubes, they have a much more visceral experience. "Oh, this looks like a simic card" as the common first impression among our drafters isn't that far of a stretch, is it?

I did find it a bit peculiar that they didn't show her becoming this skeleton general? I read it after having watched the trailer, but it could've been communicated that she was in fact defying bolas. I just thought she'd stolen a bunch of skeletons from Bolas but got toasted.

I'm a fan of it, but I do find it cute that mtg really has mirrored what Marvel has done with the avengers, culminating in a literal dusting of one of the central characters.

I have to say, these no-ult walkers are really nice. Brings down the complexity a little and makes them feel more fair? They can't really run away and threaten to insta-win the game .

Can we get a better name than "badderblossom"? I keep reading it like bLadder blossom :p

I'm just excited about them seemingly closing this chapter. Opens up for some exciting possibilities in mtg sets going forward.

This is an endless debate, but I'm going to advocate for running flashback cards as monocolored. While they fit best in their color pair, they are so in a different league of splashability compared to actual gold cards that I don't see why the flashback card should use up a gold slot. I'd say...

Man, I'd just run both cards. Glory of Warfare seems like a really sweet card, and Rally could work as a psuedo 2nd copy.

Some more options: Riftwing Cloudskate cryptic command Silumgar's command

I like that those cards pair kinda well with trample as well, pairing them fairly well with green and to an extent red!

Isn't it possibly because you're attacking your opponents tempo? So you're opening up for a closure of the game, whereas both the other two cards only work to build up the board or rebuy an effect or sort of stall out.

I think I have to agree, it's not hard to argue that this is a case of conditional probability (having the card and being able to cast it).

I honestly think it's a really clever way of doing a mulligan. Who hasn't been really bummed when, in game 3, you get to mulligan down to a unplayable hand of 5 cards? This feels like it should get around that. You get fewer cards, sure, but they should at least be playable the first few turns.

My tip would also be to, when you have an idea for a theme, put together a 40 card deck with that theme! And then, grab a friend and another 40-card deck and actually play test that deck. I've had ideas for decks and themes that just didn't work, and have found great ideas for draft themes from...

This sounds so fucking good I hope you're right. What a good way to let planeswalkers move into a new kind of phase frequency-wise!

Someone is going to diE

Amen! Cube is just a box of magic cards, at the end of the day. I'm impressed at playgroups where people find themselves able to say no thank you to a free draft?

Maybe I wasn't reading properly but I got the impression that was a whole lot of people stating power-max is the one true kind of fun?

It probably depends on your land base, but I've started to go more and more by what color is required to cast a card for the way I categorize my cards. For instance, I put Lingering souls in my white section without hesitation because I consider the flashback something you could splash for in a...
