    I don't recommend cubing Brash Taunter. It might not even be that good, but it is much better than it looks like and really feels horrbile for the opponent. If they can't remove it, that is, which is not too unlikely with indestructible. The problem is, if you just sit there and wait, it will...

    I totally agree with your ranking. Eldraine and Kaldheim are just beyond beautiful. I even prefer them to the old frames. I wish they would just create a new standard fram that takes some lessons from Eldraine and Kaldheim. The current one is just bland and has too many different round shapes...

    But it's not a downside if draw go has the right finisher on board :cool: Guardian of Tazeem

    Hm, no, what I meant was probably closer to mono archetypes than pivot archetypes. I imagine decks where you have 80-90% of both, enablers and payoffs in a single color, but then three or four of the other colors each have a handful of cards that the deck would like, either enablers or payoffs...

    Despite that, I thik the original art looks more creepy

    The Elegant Cube v5

    Do you think there is an advantage of a cube where all the archetypes (think 10+) are centered each in a certain color, but thanks to generic-ness and incidental synergies can be combined with one or more other colors OVER a cube where you have pairs archetypes with mostly flexible enablers and...

    Agreed, and I also missed that. Well, I hope we will get a mono white pants legend that does better :)

    I LOVE the snow duals! They're almost as gorgeous as the showcase cards this time around! They even make me want to buid a frosty winter cube. Man, if I didn't have to work and still would've money for it, I'd have at least 5 cubes probably. Cute idea. Just a bit too wordy for my tastes...

    Karfell and Axgard give me strong skyrim vibes and I love it.

    The Elegant Cube v5

    It's inspiring and entertaining to read what you write about cube. I wish I could express my thoughts on that level, but I fear my english isn't even good eough. Anyway, what has your experience with occasionals been so far? I felt they weren't really worth the extra work (marking and sorting...

    Oh, it's not like the environment hasn't any landfall in it. In fact, my current plan for 600 will have 6 cards with actual landfall trggers in blue, plus Barrin, Tolarian Archmage, Glasspool Mimic and Trade Routes as well as Adventuring Gear in colorless. I just wanted to make sure, that the...

    I had all my tokens printed where I also print my renders, so the all have a similar look and I'm not missing weird ones. They are white borderd because my token sleeves are white, so they don't get mixed up with my black cube sleeves. I have like 50 different of these.

    Okay, that's a card I can get behind. Man, I wish they'd explore that trap design more, maybe even with a mechanic. Trap Burn {2}{R}{R} Instant If you control a mountain, ~ deals 4 damage to any target. Trap - An opponent attacks with a creature with flying (you may exile this face down from...

    Wow, I made that list doing what I do best, hating on newly spoiled cards! Rejoice, grumpy old fogeys!

    Keep them sorted. It is not as much work as it sounds like. I sort them by color and within that alphabetically. Finding the right tokens then is an easier task. But yeah, bringing a new token to the box has also been a tiebreaker with new cards for me. I thought about the idea to have double...

    You're probably right. Maybe Celestial Purge would fit that group better.

    Is there a sweet spot for color hate? Fiendslayer Paladin Flashfreeze Deathmark Combust Mold Adder I could imagine that a very small dose adds a new sideboard tool, that makes sideboardig more appealing and also more approachable for newbies, who often don't have the knowledge and...

    Only if you support 2 or more tribes. I only have mono {R} goblins, so I'd rather have a good goblin than a good changeling. Ture, but I feel like that is a huge step either way. You have to replace all your basic lands (and than it might be difficult to balance in some cases) OR you have...
