I don't know if you want to just be making a 1/1 each turn at 5 mana. Maybe in a very low powered environment she can be average, but I'd probably just ignore her 9/10 times honestly. She's just not very threatening at all. Unless you've already got Batterskull or some sword out on the field to...

I think all of the 3 CMC options are fine to run, I'm a little more wary about Liliana though. That static ability changes it from a decent card into something that can completely warp the game around her. I do think she has interesting play to her, but I'm not exactly sure where her power level...

It really depends on your removal suite and how fast your environment is. Transmuter will not be active until T5 in most scenarios, which is kind of late in many games unless you're able to drop something big ahead of the curve off of it. If you can get it out on T3 to speed it up by one, that...

It's a shame because he's one of my favorite planeswalker cards ever, but he doesn't quite slot into the decks that I envision him being put into. I love using him as a control finisher that you plop onto the field after dealing with your opponent's side of the board, but the typical drafter...

Onder hit the nail on the head, signets are just highly underrated piecing of fixing with how they can accelerate you and help you fix colors in strategies that usually don't have access to it. Splashes are made easier, you push your gameplan forward by one whole turn, and there's very little...

If Arc Lightning is that high a pick in your environment, then this with consistent looting effects might be too strong. It also depends on how often Lightning is a 2/1 split and how big of a hit that ends up being tempo wise. If 1/1 splits as the base case are fine, then this will be okay...

Alright, my final testing/inclusion list with the set spoiled are the following cards: Decent number of cards to test out with this set. They're giving R/G colors some interesting tools to work with, I'm a fan of the simple designs of both Viv and Domri as I've pointed out...

Wow Kefnet is incredible. 4/5 flier for 4 is already ahead of the curve, having the god recursion is just gravy. Becomes nutty with any instant speed card draw letting you do normally sorcery speed stuff on your opponent's turn. Looters have even great utility with this on the field. Like Gnoll...

Pig is incredibly pushed. I will never play it in Cube, but I will laugh maniacally in EDH.

I'm quite interested in seeing this. The Monarch mechanic is a good way to encourage interaction and aggressiveness in multiplayer formats where players tend to turtle up and build up their bases before going off, but I haven't had good experiences with it in a 1 on 1 scenario. It's been...

Makes sense, I know a lot of people who prefer movies to TV shows as the escape for a little over 2 hours is just what they need, but series that can be 10+ hours long per season are much more difficult to get into. It's a little different if you do pick up the show early enough to where it's...

Nah, Jace isn't quite on that level of degeneracy, though he is quite powerful on his own. It really depends upon your environmental constraints however. If your aggressive decks have enough reach to actively pressure a card like Jace, then he can be contained. Where he'd really shine is in any...

Just making up for Battle for Zendikar 4 years later

Oh yeah, I've been playing that one for a bit now. Big fan of it, it has definitely overperformed. I especially liked the one time someone made Ghalta into a 24/24 for a one shot. I also think it's kind of important to have generic markers for archetypal support every now and then. Simic is just...

Not the biggest fan of planeswalkers, but there are some cool designs here that I'm digging. Both Domri and Viv looks excellent to me. Viv makes your opponent have something bigger or have the removal spell to push through whatever is protecting her and I also love how the 2nd ability...

I'm excited for new cube cards, I strongly dislike the entire concept of this product however. It's going to be so prohibitively expensive to pick up anything new that becomes a staple card at higher rarities. Such blatant cash grabs are just gross to me.

I think Mystic is far more interesting and it's not even close. Delver is pretty lacking unless you flip it right away and can begin applying pressure, Big Delver doesn't really do anything to fix those same issues. Mystic has deckbuilding potential, provides a more interesting puzzle to solve...

Aside from Cube and retail Limited, EDH is my preferred way to play Magic. It's pretty much the only format that still gives me the sense of discovery and wonder with wacky card combinations from when I started playing the game. It's nice to look at a new card and think whoa, that looks fun, how...

If I had to choose one of them, I'd go with Dig. Getting the 2 best cards out of the next 7 you were going to draw is much better than 3 randomly drawn cards. Like others have mentioned, the first delve spell is kind of a free roll in your typical Riptide cube, but you've got to work for the...

Assuming this is a real question and I'm not just wooshing. It's close, you're on the right track. It should be more like "confirmed your suspicions"; he's said something in line with what you were thinking in the first place.
