Let me be the one to defend the Secret Lairs then. Ever since they stopped printing new cards in them, these are purely cosmetic items. Everybody can simply ignore them, and they will be none the worse off. However, all these extra pimped printings drive down the price of the normal printings...

No, not at all :) I'm seeing how far I can push these so they become like 4th to 8th pick or something. They should be exciting enough to want to pick, but not so hot that you go: "Yeah, that's a snap 1st pick!" To be honest, none of the 3mv rocks really are at that level, except for the ones...

The Outlaw deck is such a letdown, but I am currently building an Aragorn the Uniter convoke deck, and this fits right in XD Bounty Board could definitely be decent! The blue one doesn't do a whole lot in my cube, I don't think. Did I mention have a Karador Desert Eldrazi deck already? Yeah, I...

Heraldic Banner {3} When Heraldic Banner enters the battlefield, choose a creature type. {t}: Add one mana of any color. If that mana is spent on a creature spell of the chosen type, that spell can’t be countered and the creature enters the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter on it...

Time to brew up some mana rocks for my mid-power cube. Some particulars of this cube are that I consciously put my mass removal at five mana to give aggro some breathing room, and that I want green to be the king of ramp, but using Nature’s Lore effects instead of Llanowar Elves variants. My...

That person must have also read Alison Lühr’s two-parter then. I can honestly recommend this story. It’s well-written and touches delicately on some adult topics. Part 1 Part 2

Believe it or not, the little creature is a living map to the multiverse with lifetime updates. It shows every plane, every omenpath, and it updates in real time.

Well, it all depends on what you are running in your cube. I don’t run Swords to Plowshares, Lightning Bolt or Dismember in my cube, nor Force of Will or Thoughtseize. Without premium removal, premium threats become problematic, so I don’t want to run a lot of today’s pushed bodies, including...

Fact is, Colossal Rattlewurm still dies to an Infernal Grasp, so the solution is two mana cheaper than the problem, in this case. Creatures have been power crept immensely over the past few decades, but good old Terror variants often still trump them in mana efficiency, and hence could be seen...

There are some really tasty spree cards in this set. Loving them!

I know you can, but satisfying that arbitrary rule used to cost you an arm and a leg. When I built my first cube, I wanted to use both Wildfire effects, but Burning of Xinye was super expensive, and I was like: “I’m not going to pay hundreds of euros when I can also run a second Wildfire...

Don't know why anyone would want to run singleton if you can run multiple Wildfires! :P

Over 40 and running two Wildfires and I feel seen. :marofl:

It’s a word that’s also been used in D&D to describe minor illusions. In 3.5 it was a subschool of Illusion spells: “A glamer spell changes a subject’s sensory qualities, making it look, feel, taste, smell, or sound like something else, or even seem to disappear.” Wordnik defines it as an...

I don’t know if that’s true, evasion is kinda big.

Highly recommend this. Only reason I cut it is because I veered into a very multicolored cube.

I have already seen multiple cards that seem tailor made for me, and I'm much less bothered by all of the fuzz than a lot of you, for once :)

Honestly, mail this exact text to MaRo, please! Haven’t really looked at it this way, but that Capenna recap is spot on!

You're completely right that this is "Commander: The Set" with all of the random legendaries that get alternative treatments here, but at least WotC said that (for now) they are going to do sets like this only once per year. Hope the next set will be more immersive for you!

Honestly, I think that's more bad storycrafting, not bad worldbuilding. Like, the frontier town that gets run over by a lawless gang, people trying to eke out a living in harsh conditions, it's all there, it's just buried under the Ocean's Eleven with cowboy hats "plot". Just look at the...
