Apropos nothing at all, I've really started to appreciate X-spells. I've played some Oldschool 93/94 decks, and they usually play one-of of fireball or brain geyser, and it just makes it so much less punishing to flood out, since you know you could top-deck the X-spell and actually use all that...

As much as I like to rag on lots of modern card designs, sometimes we get really sweet simple designs like these.

I guess, break singleton if it's fun. I know people have done multiples of stuff like moxes in powered cube which I think makes sense, since in formats with power you'd expect both players to have moxes.

Do we not have moderators on this board anymore?

I honestly think it would be really cool if they'd have 2 back-to-back sets that are quite different flavor wise but re-purpose the same mechanics. I dunno, like an Innistrad set with flashback as a "graveyard" thing and maybe strixhaven where flashback is some kind of remember-what-you-studied...

The attacking and blocking, basic stuff like lightning bolt or ancestral recall or armageddon. I don't really need a bunch of mini games, the combat and interactions with your opponents stuff is fun enough for me

It's actually kinda crazy how good the base game of Magic is. I feel like WotC doesn't really trust in their own game anymore

I've started playing some proxied decks in the Oldschool 93/94 format, and I have to agree with the rating of Balance. While I was still looking up deck lists and printing out the proxies, I didn't understand why balance was a restricted card showing up in basically all the white colored decks...

I don't understand this attitude. Is chess a solved format? Is poker? Is any game that isn't receiving endless expansions? Some games are just wonderful to continue playing, as is. Premodern has a card pool of 5,376 cards, that's a fairly deep pool.

Aha, it's for Arena. I guess this is some kind of licensing issue?

Where's info about the in-universe online spiderman cards?

Thanks for drafting the cube! Very flattering to have it getting play tested. I agree that there might be a high number of removal spells, but I tend to prefer slightly too much rather than too little removal starting off, since it tends to make it easier to deal with the explosiveness of the...

Fun! I'd love to see any deck lists, if you still have them. I have some cards on post order I'm still waiting to arrive, but I'm hoping to get to play this cube in person sometime soon.

A lot of very pleasant cards designs that would've shined in a real MTG set

Power 9 Low Power 360 Card Cube A cube with the Power 9 and other powerful spells from the early days of magic, paired with simple but sweet cards drawn from Modern around 2015 and Pauper. Inspired by the Oldschool 93/94 format, and letting the game of Magic the Gathering itself shine, in place...

I would also like to comment that while there are "cycling matters" cards, and those are """parisitic""" in the sense of only caring explicitly about cycling, the cycling mechanic itself can show up in whatever set. It pains me when we see a bunch of cool cards but they say something "if a card...

I seriously think it's at the detriment of the whole game. I'm honestly kind of amazed at reading cards from older formats in how they just present as fun lego pieces you can try to make a deck with. Now everything is just "gimmick-tribal". You play a bunch of "this cards does X if you control a...

I do find it kinda funny that a _lot_ of the cards spoiled so far as just literal reskins of existing cards. It almost looks like a low/medium power cube with some customs

Not to boomer post too much but I really wonder where this game will be in 5 or 10 years time. I hope this is a kind of phase that will eventually settle down, instead of the game just getting sucked dry.
