this card interested me more when I thought it also triggered off your own stuff (obviously that'd be far stronger) and I don't think it really has a good home in most cube environments, but I suppose I could be wrong since mana curves tend to be more dense at single places than in retail...

...I hadn't considered replicating Changeling Outcast. That's fun.

finally the sliver deck can tear up legacy

Having just tested on my wife, who does not play Magic, I am now convinced that people will always answer "yes". n=2.

Do you let people say "no" to squirrels?!

Rocco, Street Chef has entered the chat I just want him to be good so badly!

I don't think it's that good! But I do think the combo of sometimes coming in untapped and only requiring two attackers outweighs the difference in power between three-mana card draw and a single two-mana free spell. Could easily be wrong. Maybe I just switch back. Definitely like a 1.5 on the...

This is really close to both my include list and my opinions about the set. Big fan of it both flavor-wise and design-wise and also I only really want three to four cards of it for my cube. Stern Scolding hits over 2/3 of my creatures so there's no way I'm leaving it out and maybe also Minas...

While Embracer did purchase them outright, the rights to [specific parts of] the Hobbit and LotR for reproduction purposes, including for movies and trading card games, are owned by Middle-earth Enterprises. (why isn't it MeE? Tolkein's capitalization was very deliberate!)

Huge post that's not about LOTR ahead. Sorry all! I'm sure you know it's not "the exact Magic Online Legacy Cube". The more I think about this, the more it feels like Potter Stewarting - "I know it when I see it", except everyone's "it" is different. I took a whack at being systematic. Wall of...

That is possible! It's not something that people will necessarily consciously notice, but it does feel kinda like "oh, they'd be disappointed if they go [blank] because pool is clearly supported but there's no gold card for it and another [blank] gets at least one" Of course I actually just...

But a mostly black cube is definitely not the average cube! ...cutting some gold combinations is reasonable, but tends to make me feel like you have to tell people up front, which is the #1 thing I hate having to do from a design standpoint, you know?

I wish there was a way to fit stuff like this into the average cube. Like, gold cards have to be a lot more impactful and they're an absolute bear to draft because they only go in one deck. But this is just a nice little power level role player and it's cute. Hopefully it fits well for someone...

anyone here who is planning on incorporating the Ring will surely want this also I love the art in the Masterful Ninja "draw art where the most important thing is not visible" way

yeah I have been informed that the Commander decks are not Modern legal despite the real set being explicitly "not Standard legal but Modern legal" like I knew it was from the Commander set I just had no idea that the Commander set was not also Modern legal (as a departure frrom the norm)

Yeah, I mostly put it in the post to make a Proudfeet! reference... but it's also a 5/5 for 1G+Food that is really hard to block. It feels like it could realistically end up in some build of the Modern Asmo Cookbook deck, it's an insane rate if you're sure to have Food. (and half the time you...

Some of these Commander leaks are pretty okay looking! (I'm not exactly an optimist.) For anyone who wants green +1/+1 counter anthem effect, here you go, she even plays well with others. Definitely too expensive for my high power level but I'm always a fan of equipment with the etb...

this is a strange combination of effects (well, the flavor makes perfect sense with the name, but I mean to see on a Magic card) but I could absolutely imagine decks that want it and it's a very good rate for what it does

The counterpoint I have to this is that having every card in the cube in the draft is not mandatory and can (sometimes) even be a worse experience (think "guaranteed that X deck shows up every time" rather than "oh dear a player might go into Y and nobody opens the right key cards") - cube could...
