    Sets (MH2) Modern Horizons 2 Previews

    Yeah those two are the most interesting in my opinion as well. I like that Hell is both an enabler and a payoff.

    Sets (MID) Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Testing/Includes Thread

    Of course it’s fine on digital; there you do not have to keep track of the day/night cycle every single turn from the turn the first day/night permanent enters the battlefield. And also the rules don’t have to be explained even though the card text is missing.

    Sets (MID) Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Testing/Includes Thread

    I still hate day/night mechanic. Ambitious Farmhand feels pretty cool to play with and it's pretty strong as well. To me it feels like a fair middle-powered card. I have not seen any of the other cards in cube action yet.

    From Portal to M20 actually. Unless of course you don’t think it held its worth in its first and last set :p I have never run it in cube before. Because of this thread, you’ve made me include it in my low-powered!

    Dear @ravnic I just wanted to ping you and tell you that there is a card identical to Goldmeadow Harrier (in case you didn’t know) and was looking for a replacement art or a duplicate. Gideon’s Lawkeeper It’s Human instead of Kithkin but otherwise has the same casting cost, activation cost...

    Thank you Brad <3 I think I have settled for a low-powered format but not retail low and structure. Mayhaps I want 2 rares, 4 uncommons and 9 commons in each pack.

    It only tap for one mana. Thriving taps for two different just like Guildgates. They’re equally flexible on the color it taps for that you can choose, but Vale misses the first color. In other words, when you have to make your choice…Vale has 5 options because you’re missing all five colors...

    This post kind of reads to me like you believe I haven’t played with Elspeth in years. I run two. A Theros in foil and an altered art. My cube link for context https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/q0a?view=spoiler :P

    Agree with everything except in my experience the card can end a game really, really fast if it doesn’t get spot removed. All cards in cubes are dependant on other cards in cubes. A card can win fast in my cube and slow in another depending on which cards exist in the cube.

    Wasn’t that covered in the ‘spot removal’ section? The argument goes, if she’s not spot removed, she wins the game fast. Someone disputed this and I pointed out the math. Are you bringing back that it can again get spot removed? That feels like a circle argument. I think the card is way too...

    Thanks @kModz It will take some time before I have something to share but I am working on some ideas. I will write a blog once I am ready to share.

    Not in my experience. Theee upticks and a downtick is 27 power on the board. With flying. It’s closer to GRBS than fair in my experience.

    It’s not. It’s just different. Sylvan Anthem has a hard time buffing your white flyer in your Selesnya deck.

    Yeah agreed. Maybe Cryptolith Rite ramp can be a solution? https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/earthcraft-cryptolith-rite-archetype.3510/

    That’s not my experience. Usually she either dies quickly to removal or she takes over the game in two turns. People usually concede if they see you with 6 soldier tokens the turn after you cast her. Maybe this is one of those things where different cubes yield different results.

    I like the “no search your library for anything” Very easy to implement. It has downsides of course but it should be possible to create a fun cube even with no fetches and tutors even though they normally help Brainstorm-like cards and combo pieces.

    That’s part of the fun. You guys have tried too often to let Player A do X and seen the rest of the players facing X again and again and again until they are frustrated. Not in my cube! :) Part of the fun here is to go on a deck-builder journey. Some of your cards will get banned but you will...

    You make some excellent points. I disagree a bit but I think your conclusion is gas. It certainly also benefits the players that each color and multicolored section is balanced. It simply creates a better format. Wizards can choose to not have their sets balanced like this because they print a...

    She puts three creatures onto the battlefield each turn. Doesn’t that win fast enough?
