I'd go as far as saying that tiny imbalances will only ever be noticed by the main cube designer when physically sorting out a cube and/or reviewing on Cubecobra. You've definitely spent like 1000x time poring over your own design and choices than anyone else so any small cracks would be visible...

I'd go with Treasure > Clue > Blood > Food. I just think ramp and card advantage are just so powerful in a vacuum compared to the filtering of Blood or lifegain from Food. If you have additional synergies with cards that care about tokens things can definitely change, but I'd say that I'm almost...

Whenever I think of sets I always tend to associate art with either cards or key story events that happened. The short story where Gideon faced off against the Eldrazi and the art for Near-Death Experience are memorable when it comes to ROE for me: For Mirrodin Besieged I've always been...

A Saga that flips into a creature just makes sense for Kamigawa to me. Mythology and legend were very core to the flavor of the original block ranging from the excellent short story vignettes to the sense of ancient history with the art and kami. We'll see if and how they execute something that...

Would rather lose while having fun than win a boring game. The outcome isn't the most important thing to me when I'm playing a game for fun.

I'd rather play Mending of the two of them. For the Azorius decks I usually draft card quality is often times more important than card quantity. You can make up the minor disadvantage you get from a looting effect if it means that you get to nab multiple creatures with a wrath or set up an...

Urza's Saga is a fantastic card when you can exploit the various features, but YMMV with your cube composition. Low to the ground cubes or ones that feature some kind of artifact theme? Gold. Ones that are more midrange-y and/or value driven? Probably not so great. I think that the playstyle...

It's definitely got vibes, but I'd say more Fist of the North Star which was a huge influence on early Jojo. Also the most testosterone fueled manga I've ever read. It's like a Schwarzenegger film brought to manga:

Because some of us don't like blending two genres we might otherwise enjoy separately. I'm fine with Cyberpunk and futuristic sci-fi, just not a fan of it being embedded into the traditional Japanese mythology that defined original Kamigawa. It loses sight of what made Kamigawa interesting and...

Yeah, that was my plan as well with third party sales being ridiculously scalped right now. It's absolutely insane given the scarcity of quality Sony exclusive titles this early into the generation. I signed up for this Sony Direct waitlist a little under two months ago and just completely...

One of these is uhhh very much not like the others.

Wait what? Just continue in the other thread. We don't need 3 whole threads on a set two months away.

Yes absolutely. I've already put in my preorder and am planning on taking two days off from work to make an extended weekend out of it. Beyond hyped after seeing the footage from the network test. I was also somehow able to snag a PS5 off a Sony Direct invite earlier this week so I'm...

We need a Barf Emoji.

Hit: Incidental support for existing archetypes that couldn't quite get there before and more incidental graveyard hate stapled onto playable bodies. To make an archetype like U/R Artifacts a reality in a higher powered cube you needed cards that were playable on their own but would shine in a...

I'm 100% with you on this. Magic is nowhere near as compelling as it was for me or my long standing playgroup compared to 2013-2018 and a lot of that is due to rapid shifts in their design philosophy and how they've treated their players as a whole. I used to be someone that was very engaged...

Ham-fisted. It's not elegant, flavorful or evocative at all. Literally just there to make this into a 5C legendary option. The indestructible buff is a nice callback to That Which was Taken, but that's about it.

Yes, adoption of anime and manga in the West didn't really become big until around the late 90s/early 00s with the likes of Toonami in the states and the publication of monthly Shonen Jump in the early 00s. I still vividly remember when my friend on the bus introduced me to manga and being blown...

Absolutely. I'm pretty meh on the cycle of lands they decided to go with for Cube. When they first came out I thought that the BFZ lands were the perfect dual for the type of environment I was building and my experiences with them over 5 years in multiple formats have only reaffirmed that...

Just give me the enemy half of the BFZ land cycle you cowards. That's all I'm waiting for with each spoiler season on a new plane.
