Hmm, I guess it really depends on where you feel the gaps are in an aggressive B/x archetype nowadays. This does give some additional options and can certainly accrue value after something like a wrath, but I'm unsure of whether it's all that necessary nowadays with the plethora of options we've...

Unironically yeah, this would be super sick in EDH. Blue Sun's Zenith eat your heart out.

As someone who plays a lot of EDH, arguably my most played format over the years, while there are complex scenarios that can arise in a game I'd say that the majority of individual cards aren't particularly complex. Doesn't apply to weird niche cards, but "staples" that see a lot of play across...

Not for invested players who have been around, but I can't imagine getting into Magic nowadays as a new player. There is just way too much to process in a normal set.

Yeah this set is a mess to read through on first glance. There are a handful of cool designs, but the vast majority of it feels like a very busy set. It feels Strixhaven-y to me which isn't particularly encouraging.

Wait, you're right. I misread it completely. I still don't think it's great because that's a strange condition but I guess it's not the worst. More cute than good. Having to still pay for the initial creature, 1 to sac, and then pay again to actually cast the new creature makes this a mostly...

This is terrible. Like realistically this is usually going to get a 3 drop saccing a 2 color creature, rarely a 4 drop saccing a tri-color creature. This is mostly a brick unless you've somehow assembled 5 color stuff and even then how many silver bullet type cards do you have for this? Worst of...

Read the synopsis of Thor 2 instead of viewing, that movie is absolute butt.

I rotate a couple of different podcasts on a weekly basis depending what I'm feeling. I work a job that consists of a lot of concurrent projects and working on the computer pretty much day in and day out so I tend to go through a looooot of podcasts and music. Sometimes I'll save a few episodes...

Is this a spam ad on a buried spam thread? Is this Skynet taking over in real time?

Nice, completed tri-cycles for my tri-colored gold cards. No more Crumbling Necropolis for Kess drafters! Might also try out Aminatou, the Fateshifter since I've retired the EDH deck and have a copy lying around.

I just spent most of the last 3 days playing Elden Ring. I had it delivered on Friday but didn't get around to it until about 10PM since I wanted to finish up the very last bit of Demon's Souls beforehand since I knew I wouldn't get back to it in the near future. Booted it up and planned to play...

That's because the pantry is way more spacious.

I guess this really depends on your other offerings, but I don't find that to necessarily be a bad thing when pitted against modern card designs for Aggro. Cards are just very efficient nowadays. If aggressive options continue to be more and more pushed at lower CMCs, I think it's fine to have a...

If I had to go with one I'm going with the Wall of Omens. You need clear roleplayers to make archetypes work, sometimes you need those filler cards to wheel to a specific player, and Wall is the card for any durdly W/x deck to buy time and branch into bigger plays. If I'm drafting U/W Control...

The idea and potential of Arkbow is cooler than the actual gameplay. Theoretically it gives you an uncounterable way to fish out creatures from your deck at instant speed. The reality is often that you whiff or hit less than desirable targets or its a dead card you draw late in the game. Or you...

I think the others are mostly fine, but Boseiju being able to reduce down to a single green pip with only a single legendary creature is absurd. It's the most powerful effect of the cycle AND the cheapest for whatever reason. In the worst case scenario it's an untapped green source that comes...

Update: Boseiju is way too busted as a card to be included in the ULD. I've come to this conclusion after seeing it in action briefly at prerelease and seeing it at the top of pretty much every list for every format review in the last week. It will almost always be a 1st pick for a G/x deck...

About a year in, how has this card performed for those of you that have ran it: Showdown of the Skalds For the first time in a while I'm giving my cube a long review with the release of this new set and there are a lot of areas I'm looking to refine. The early parts of the curve for R/W...

Shelldock Isle has been a main cube inclusion from the start, very powerful and U/x decks can activate it pretty consistently. Windbrisk Heights is the only other one of that cycle that has been playable as a Utility Land Draft inclusion, but it has some awkward sequencing in decks where you...
