That's a really good trailer. They've come a long way from what they used to be, but I still have to say that my favorite is the Journey into Nyx one: That Erebos narration is just *chef's kiss*

Cleaner viewing experience and probably better in the long run, but taking out the human element turns me off completely from tuning in to watching any competitive Magic. There's just no appeal. At least with something like EDH online you get user commentary and playful back and forth to keep...

Knight is solid because of the modal abilities, but I'm not a huge fan of ETB Naturalize type creatures because so much value is tied up in that ETB. Like Reclamation Sage for instance. If you aren't blowing up something with it, it's an anemic 2/1 for 3 that won't be doing much for you...

I do like this one more than other options, but I didn't have much success with it either. I think the potential is what is more appealing than the actual play patterns that happened for me. My sample size was pretty small though, might just need to give it a more extended run sometime in the...

I just picked up a copy of it to give it a run the next time we actually draft. Dunno if it'll come together or not, but the potential is there.

Not the biggest fan of either in cube honestly, the extra land effect is great in theory but often times it doesn't quite come together. Once in a blue moon you'll get the nuts and have the right ratio of additional lands and action spells to really maximize your ramp, but I've found that...

Depends upon your power level, but I'd lean towards WAR Nissa because she's just more interesting to me. She's got cross-synergy with any counters matters stuff you might have going on as Trainmaster mentioned, it can build its own win-con over time by growing lands tall, and it's pretty much...

Those basics are incredible. I was waffling on which ones I wanted to use for the CMDR cube I'm developing, but I think we have a clear winner now. Hoping for some nice Constellation and Saga cards. I might give this new Elspeth a run as a W/x Aggro curve-topper. For once, she's making HUMAN...

I feel like this card is straight up bad. I played against it at Prerelease and after re-reading it a few times in a close match, I realized that if this becomes the last sacrifice-able permanent on the board when it flips back to your opponent, they just lose it and get nothing. That's not too...

If it's H2H and you had to get rid of one of them, I'm cutting Pod ahead of Company. It's much easier to build a deck where Company is good than it is to come up with sweet pod chains. Company only asks that your 3 CMC creatures have relevant ETB abilities or pushed bodies which is very common...

The worst part about this format coming out is that I was in the middle of designing an EDH Cube. Picking up singles is gonna be painful.

I mean, MODO was pretty garbage for a long time and still is very unimpressive as a platform held together by spaghetti code. MODO took off as a means for heavily invested players to get in their reps and just grind if that's what they wanted to do, but it absolutely did not take with the vast...

They've got a handful of events coming up early 2020 as well which leads me to believe that this will be the new Modern. I'm also pretty sure their mystery end of year set is just going to be Pioneer Masters.

I don't think so, but you need enough incidental support for them to be worth it. If I were to see either of this when opening my first pack of the draft, I'm assuming that there's some dedicated U/x Artifacts archetype present. Not exactly sure which is harder to get the most value out of, Sai...

On a pure power perspective, Mom is stronger. Giver is more interactable though and leads to better gameplay.

I'd say I'm somewhere between a Strix 7 or 8.

I'm not really a fan of Delver in Cube, tried to make it work a few years back but I'm pretty sure it's a trap. It's just difficult to build up the redundancy and density of effects you need to make Delver comparable to how powerful it's been in Constructed formats when drafting a cube deck...

I thought long and hard about any blue cards that I wanted to double up on and I couldn't find anything that was compelling that would actually add to my environment. I think what matters more is mechanical distinction for the decks that would want those cards than actual colors. There's major...

It's a decent card, giving an aggressive creature +3/+1 to punch through bigger blockers is big game, being able to gain some card advantage when your creature dies is also nice. The biggest thing it has going for it is the 1 equip cost, that's very low for something that gives you that much...

Alright, so I've been grappling with the problem of duplicates not being wanted by any drafter at the table for a while now. If no one is interested in playing a Human Aggro deck or making Pod, all of sudden those cards with two copies become dead cards within the pool. With my cube at 420...
