I noticed it a while ago, and I think it's kind of stupid, because it made me think that the spree cost was added to the actual mana cost of the spell rather than being an additional cost, but it's not.

I am participating seriously, the metaphor illustrates my disagreement. You're the one not engaging with it in good faith. Let's say I draft magic every Thursday. I keep the cards I drafted, and I get some amount of change from paying the entry fee (this is over ten years ago when people still...

I have a lot of spare change lying around I can't be bothered to use. Is that a coin collection? Am I collecting them?

This set has way too many cards I want to find a place for, real shame about the plane itself being so lackluster, I'd much rather jam some cool looking gnomes or merfolk from ixalan. Aven Interrupter Getaway Glamer Nurturing Pixie Three Steps Ahead Duelist of the Mind Harvester of Misery...

Aether Vial gaming. You can also flicker it at your opponent's end step if you want to commit to not playing anything else on your next turn, or Suspend it if that somehow made it into your cube. But yes, plotting it is by far the easiest. I'm not really in the market for potentially 2 mana 4/5...

They seem to want to go in different decks considering Geralf is limited to your turn and wants a lot of cheap spells, Shark works a lot better with bigger spells and being able to hold up mana. I think you should be able to intuitively land on one.

Can someone explain to me how the cactusfolk are a native species to the plane if it was previously uninhabited?

And what if the gun is missing?

History of Benalia Crux of Fate Tymaret Calls the Dead Opening it up to theme instead of just tribe makes it difficult to know where to draw the line.

Spotlight Falcon seems like a pretty powerful white top end. The fact that it feeds itself is kind of disgusting. Ominous Lockbox looks like a kind of fun minigame.

Maybe, but I haven't read (watched?) Redwall, so I'll be blissfully ignorant of them.

Not entirely. With colorless I'm trying to make a parallel that more or less is saying "if they receive as much support as ninjas did in mh1, they would be equally if not more viable". I think it's more demanding of your cube to support colorless, but I don't see the central argument of how deep...

In all honesty, while I don't really care for the theme despite owning several volumes of Mouse Guard, I am looking forward to a set that isn't bogged down with the "exploration of tropespace". I'm so incredibly tired of pop culture references.

Appreciate the response. I'm still struggling to understand the lines you're drawing in the sand. The Ninja and Colorless comparison seems pretty relevant to me in this regard. Prior to MH1, ninjas were quite unexciting. I'd wager to say the set doubled the number of reasonable ninjas. Ninjas...

I could, I just don't know what Pre-War Formalwear is even supposed to convey or how it ties into the mechanics of the card in any possibly way. I've considered it, but I feel like they look very unnatural. I also think that if you were more used to the old border artifact look you'd spot it...

I'm a bit confused by this remark. It seems to have effectively communicated the intent, so why does it need to be longer? It's not rules text. (Although you incorrectly assumed it's a triggered ability, if it lost hiding while you still targeted it that would kind of ruin the point. I guess it...

Well, spoilers for this are over. Here's the only card I'm planning to include. I guess Sevinne's Reclamation is leaving. edit: I forgot Vault 21: House Gambit. Not sure how I'll retheme that yet.

I agree that there's a lot of well-deserved hostility towards EDH, I just don't believe that people have a negative disposition towards branching synergies in cube construction because something similar happens when you build around your commander. Finding cards that compliment other cards is an...

I don't really think this design approach is particularly revolutionary or that there's a stigma against EDH that prevents it from being realized, I imagine most people would arrive at something similar if they were given the objective of doing so. I also don't think most people approach cube...
