This card is excellent. I'm all for more defensive 2/3 creatures and I've long believed that Deathtouch is an underrated keyword in cube. Defensive body for decks against Aggro, fits right into the two drop slot in Gravecrawler Aggro decks that was empty until this set (man this and Jadar is...

I really don't know if they understand this fundamentally. For years Maro has been pretty annoying whenever met with Kamigawa questions and refusing to acknowledge how shit the mechanics were for the set and how that might have influenced how parts of the playerbase felt. Legendary subtheme...

There aren't enough generically useful enchantments to be worth deploying the package except in lower powered environments. Artifacts were in this same boat until around 2019 when they printed a lot more cards that synergized with artifacts like Urza, Lord High Artificer, Goblin Engineer and...

Interested in the slate of the new sets coming out, especially The Brothers War. I was hoping we'd revisit some of the MTG past someday and this looks super promising. I'm a bit wary of Kamigawa reboot but hoping that they do a good job. Streets of Caperna looks like it'll be pretty cool, new...

Honestly, I've ignored pretty much all of these since printing because they just look so ugly to me. I'm sure there are some good designs here and there but man as soon as I see that placeholder sticker I just gloss right over it. We already have so many Magic cards being printed every year that...

The only "customs" I've used are my duplicate voucher in my cube. I'm just not a fan of using customs to fill in holes, it's just not my thing. I feel like most players would be mostly indifferent unless there was something really off about the individual cards.

Burn, Mill and Lab Man just seem like fair alternative win-cons if the drafter can assemble them. As long as they aren't parasitic with cards that only enable that particular archetype, I think you're fine. As long as there aren't specialized cards just for that single deck or strategy, but you...

Cruel Ultimatum By god did I try to make this work for years, but it was so difficult to get anyone else remotely interested. Why do all that work for something at 7 mana when they could just play multiple good cards while curving out instead? Ended up just using that tri-color slot for Kess...

I think it's more a matter of what you're looking for from that slot. It's a card that obviously looks for a zombie theme, but I don't think you necessarily need a massive pool of incidental zombies. It's great for Humans, but I still find that most of my decks with Champion of the Parish still...

Yeah, that can definitely be an issue. Sometimes you just need a certain density of Murder effects to just give enough tools to deal with threats, especially if combat isn't particularly interactive. I think the issue might just end up being the composition of threats that must be answered in...

I'm actually a big fan of deploying more conditional removal to create decision trees for my players or trying to figure out an cutting off point for certain effects. For example, I like "unconditional" white removal to start showing up around 3 CMC on average with stuff like Oblivion Ring or...

I'm a little torn on whether or not I want to include Champion of the Perished as a singleton in my cube or if it should facilitate a change to my Duplicate Voucher system. I've had Gravecrawler and Bloodsoaked Champion available as duplicates in my cube environment for years now (either via two...

Was never a big fan of WAR Nissa in cube or most green walkers aside from Garruk Wildspeaker, but this does pique my interest. There's a lot of fun stuff you can do if you've got graveyard and land-oriented themes going on. Being mono-green lets you branch off into either RG with the typical...

I'm just spamming at this point (someone else post quick!), but dear god just look at these beauties:

And the rest of what seems to have been spoiled thus far: I've got to say, I'm already a MUCH bigger fan of the direction that this set seems to be heading art and theme wise compared to many of our most recent offerings (except MH2, that was the shit). This feels much more in line with...

I'm in love. I think I might be ready to settle down. This is all that I've ever wanted.

This is kind of what has led to me being less engaged with the game as a whole recently, feeling a little burnt out. I mean, just look at the set release schedule we've had thus far in 2021: February: Kaldheim March: Time Spiral Remastered April: Strixhaven June: Modern Horizons 2 July...

Take the majority of the week off from forums and come back to a full fledged community cube project with utter confusion. I'm so lost haha.

It's solid, but at the end of the day it's a 4 mana "do nothing" enchantment if it's played on curve. Strong if you can chain multiple land drops or have some fetch recursion ala Titania, Protector of Argoth, but pretty fair overall.

I really admire this level of dedication, bravo!
