I really dislike Sun Titan - there's power there, but it fits so poorly with the decks that want to include, and then cast, white six drops. Maybe if you could run the lick-and-stick with Phantasmal Image every game? But even then, if I can guarantee I draw Image and something my first choice...

Fling except a big butt or an indestructible idiot survives it. Bonus synergies with anything modifying "dealing damage" (lifelink! infect! squirrellink!) or whatever.

"spending four or more mana on a noncreature spell" theme is not just one card!

I don't know of another card to compare it to, but I think in practice, you'll miss it when you first read it totally out of context like here, then you'll cast it for the first time and say something like "all your stuff dies, your Blood Artist triggers and I take... waaaaaait, end the turn...

I'm not often tempted by five mana wraths, but: While it's no Fumigate, the slow deck that wants a five mana wrath will likely appreciate having Bonus Random Shatterstorm. And it doesn't mind the turn ending - which isn't all downside either, because it means "dies" triggers get removed from...

all the rare equipments, plus the one uncommon we've seen so far, have them with one of the job's weapons' names: Summoner's Grimoire Dragoon's Lance also I like a starter deck card for once cause it's just Big Dumb Idiot:

There's also Goldberry, River-Daughter, though she only removes one lore counter every other turn since she has to move it off herself afterwards.

Almost certainly not, unfortunately: There might be a sixth colorless one as part of the cycle, which is why I say "almost certainly", but I wouldn't bet on it.

When it first got spoiled, I showed that card to my wife, who does not play Magic, and asked her who it depicted - and, of course, she instantly said "the boys!". I agree with you that it's the only reference that isn't bad.

oh dang they gave us all the commander cards, huge images ahoy:

Normally I just kind of shrug off most of the commander cards, but... Staff of the Storyteller says hello, even if this isn't really a two-drop. This does a lot for the cost, since it's even "each end step", even if I don't often have a deck that's putting counters on creatures twice per...

now this is a build around! (not much of one. I was a lot more excited when I thought they went to play, let me tell you)

Kain, Traitorous Dragoon I will not be cubing this but it is really funny to me (the rate's not great, since "you" is whoever controls him, so the second time they get the loot...)

it's so weird to me that this is a Serra Avenger and not an Inspiring Vantage, gonna feel awful when you miss your third land drop and then topdeck it on turn four

-> They went IN on the UR noncreature spells theme.

we got a bunch of new spoilers, all kinds of legends blah blah whatever (the gimmick where the Cid card is "you can play any number" and there's one art per Cid is pretty good, I will admit) Behold! Everyone's new favorite cube mechanic! It's just "kicker again":

Think we already had Yuna, definitely didn't have G'raha. also even as the target market for this set - huge FF fan and relatively indifferent towards UB in general because I enjoyed LotR as a set - I totally get it because like... sure, whatever, I like this IP, but it doesn't really feel like...

they don't do it often, but they certainly have a history of using that phrase: Memory Deluge Manaform Hellkite so this would naturally fit also, Hildibrand! Flavor fits. Love the Gentle Dead Man token. I'm the target market - won't be cubing it because I think that Mosswood Dreadknight...

We never did get a straight answer out of him whether they tested BBBBBBB as the casting cost. Like, I get that Reanimate et al. care about the mana value, but still.
