I actually just broke singleton with double fetches. Because I decided to stop messing around with fastlands and painlands and just play the stuff that synergizes. I think fundamentally the answer there is "you don't!" - go deep, just do it in a second distinct cube or something. Because...

Heidar, Rimewind Master seems pretty stoked about it

this opinion is shared by so few people around me and I agree with you

You know, I go and leap to WotC's defense - atypical for me - and within the day I see MaRo say something else that makes me think you're less tinfoily than I had thought: They've been doing ten signpost uncommons for all non-faction/guild/whatever sets, are we gonna get Spider-Factions? Or...

I will say that you have to separate out two distinct groups of "they" here! R&D is comprised of - even the very old guard that didn't get hired after a stint in competitive play, and the Great Designer Search winners, and so on - chronic, inveterate, unrepentant, lifelong drafters. I'd be...

SOM|Steady Progress flavor text gets me every time

Ox of Agonanas confirmed most valuable nana

It's a reprint from March of the Machine, where it had a more horror-movie flavor text, but that doesn't actually answer your question (because I don't know)

My understanding of the original logic was - keep in mind, this dates back probably 15 years at this point - almost nobody was breaking singleton back then. Having two copies of an effect was novel, and let you build your deck around it and build your draft around the idea that you'd probably...

If they reprint the card they can change the text in italics since it's not rules text, right? Scout the City Choose One - Look Around - Drop An Entire Building On Them -

How do you feel about the starter-deck spider symbol? I think it looks like a "normal" mtg expansion symbol, honestly. Compare: Multiversal Passage Amateur Hero Sparksmith

I will say that I'm pro-smaller sets if we're going to have this goddamn many of them. Makes it easier to manage the firehose. And I don't just mean for Cube, also Standard - I'll let you know when I stop finding a new standard-legal card from Foundations once per week! But like, I have no idea...

MaRo said something interesting on his tumblr: I don't think I mind "fewer cards per set", but I'm a little skeptical that these two points are actually related...

Multiversal Passage Spectacular Spider-Man Anti-Venom, Horrifying Healer Spider-Punk Symbiote Spider-Man Web-Warriors Iron-Spider, Stark Upgrade also Gwen Stacy -> Ghost-Spider and Miles Morales -> Ultimate Spider-Man Love Passage. Not entirely a Gwen Stacy hater - eat it, Abbot of Keral...

on the one hand, I agree with you on the other hand, this is very clearly "how much money can we print, can we get away with one set for spider-man, one set for iron man, one set for captain america..."

Oh, sheesh, I totally forgot Michiko's Reign of Truth. That card was cracked. It was good in NEO limited, it was good in Standard, it's basically as good as the rest of the cards surrounding it at almost any power level (too weak for MODO Vintage Cube but I wouldn't be surprised if it was good...

Not sure how loose you want to go with the definition of "artifact" or how thematic you're going, so you get the everything-adjacent brain dump. Court Homunculus Glint Hawk Toolcraft Exemplar Voyager Glidecar Ancestral Blade Barbed Spike Citizen's Crowbar Dragoon's Lance Sarah Jane Smith Lord...

To be fair, Guy in the Chair is just Shaun & Rebecca, Agents. (this is not arguing against you) Also I guess Aunt May is just Rosie Cotton of South Lane but I'm not prepared to defend this one because somehow Rosie feels more like a real Magic card to me?

the times have a-changed I don't disagree with you, just... remember when we got stoked about a Phantom Monster? Teller of Tales was the best blue common in Champions of Kamigawa - though you overpaid for the trigger - Snapping Drake was top two monoblue in Ravnica and several M1# sets...

Another card on the list of "I was not able to make this work in like 2014 so I assumed I couldn't make it work in 2025", but I am trying out Tifa Lockhart... it's more tempting than you'd think. I did have Murktide Regent in before thinking that The Inevitable Durdle Blue Deck should have to...
