It's unfortunate that they went so deep into dice rolling with this set of commander decks. I'm glancing through spoilers and as soon as I come across "roll" or "venture" I'm out. Especially dislike the variety of dice needed to fulfill different roll requirements. What a fucking mess.

Only a handful of main cube inclusions this time: I like Portable Hole as a clean answer to cheap creatures early in game along with being an artifact to open up other synergies with stuff like Toolcraft Exemplar or serving as "hits" for cards like Herald of Anguish or a more natural fodder...

@Velrun is much more generous in his assessment than me. Straight up my least favorite set of all time by far, not sure I even want to play any Limited for this set at all. I'm sure it's fun for anyone into D&D with various references and deep cuts, but that's a complete zero for me. Add in...

Is that the first unconditional ETB card draw in white since Wall of Omens? White 3s are incredibly stacked, but this is a nice little roleplayer in a variety of archetypes. Minor roadblock in control decks, nice blink card, and it even has the right stats for Lark shenanigans. Solid.

Man I dig the art and love Menace on a cheap human ala Glint-Sleeve Siphoner, but it's pretty lacking as a base 1/1 for me. I think Knight of the Ebon Legion is just an all-around superior option if you're looking for a mana sink on an aggressive body. If only it was a 2/1 and a little less busy...

Pass for me, just not a fan of mechanics that end up being this narrow. It's how I felt about energy outside of KLD block; juice just wasn't worth the squeeze. I'll probably enjoy it at prerelease and/or in a draft or two, but I don't see myself revisiting it beyond that.

Yeah, I tend to prefer it when games don't hold your hand and really give you the ability to explore and teach yourself how to play it. The most recent "new" game that did that for me was Sekiro which forced me to just re-learn combat after being used to the ebbs and flows of Dark Souls style...

I'd actually go with the opposite. I'm not exactly a hardcore Vorthos, but I definitely pay attention to the story and appreciate references more than the average player. I like Magic flavor and references when it pertains to things within the game via cards like Deicide or Crux of Fate with...

Much like Strixhaven, this set looks like it'll be mostly a pass for me. I'm not a fan of the flavor words or whatever you call them, they just read very tacky to me. Like @Velrun mentioned earlier, this feels like a Secret Lair stretched over an actual set. That's not bad in a vacuum, but it is...

@Velrun You should enjoy this, pretty much my feeling when I first played these games:

Yes! I've been waiting for this game for two years now, that trailer was phenomenal as a long time fan of FromSoftware. I can't wait until the game is released, planning on buying a PS5 once they're available at a normal price just to play this and the Demons Souls Remaster. I don't play as...

Yes! This is my favorite animated movie of all time. I've probably seen this like 30+ times since I was a child. They used to show it all the time on Disney channel here and I have vivid memories of turning on the TV during vacation and this already playing in the middle of day in that weird...

Feels like it should have been a Planechase variant mechanic, not something in a "real" set.

Different tiers with options for $1, $5 and $15 right now. The perks you get with each tier as you move up are Patron-only channels on the discord ($1), ability to add cube to the rotating featured cube queue ($5) and the ability to submit high priority requests to the devs for implementation...

I'd say the main thing you need to make 2-3 work without incentivizing 4-5 is just tailoring your land cycles accordingly and introducing opportunity cost. There needs to be an cost to premier fixing. It's part of the reason why I've never really wanted to try out ABUR duals in my cube; it's...

I think Master is just way better overall. Additional upside with the Surveil 2, in a better color combination to take advantage of discard/looting synergies, relevant card type, and I feel like it's just a generically useful body in most U/B shells. Just a really solid glue card. Squee is fun...

Good for people who enjoy them, but the dozens of alternate frames over the last few years have left me mostly indifferent whenever we get a new one. Except when they're super ugly like Amonkhet Invocations or this new DND frame.

Super interesting, a lot of pet cards and some Riptide favorites in that 0-2% bracket for me: Herald of Anguish Brutal Hordechief Lightning Berserker Red Sun's Zenith Earthshaker Giant General Kudro of Drannith Mesmeric Orb Phyrexian Triniform

Yeah, doesn't take me too long. I used to do what you mentioned but it's always ended up being a hassle and added to the extra set-up time for cube sessions for me. I like keeping them well organized so we start and finish in a reasonable time since we're likely meeting at an LGS and doing this...
