You are thinking like a cube curator, not like a player. I think your example is misguided as well, as flooding a format with good mana fixing has wildly different consequences from adding a solid learn/lesson package. Re: cube real estate, the thing is, I have never, not even once, seen one of...

I think this is a mechanic worth testing in high volume. Why hold back in testing? You can always dial back or cut the mechanic entirely if it doesn't work as well as you thought.

You mis-spelled fractal :p Agree though. The Mystic also has a surprisingly relevant body for its cost. It can hold down the fort while your birds are pecking in.

Cool idea! Sealed naturally trends towards midrange a lot of the time, because sealed pools usually lack the density needed to build a good aggro deck, and the tools for building a reliable control deck. Looking towards glue cards that shine in midrange is one way to go, I think. As far as...

This was an incredible difficult pool for me to build, because I had too many playables. I seriously couldn't figure out what to cut, so I instead started from scratch and added cards I thought had to be in until I arrived at my final 23.

If you don't want the trinket text and think instant edict effects are playable at all, there's always the og Diabolic Edict.

Hanna is very hard to keep on the table with such a feeble body.

Don't despair! It's a lesson, so it can be the worst variant of this effect and still be the correct thing to tutor from your sideboard some of the time!

I'm torn. I have actually used that rebuy ability to plainscycle it away in the early game, then return it to my hand later after I wrested control of the game.

I am honestly surprised. These designs are so much cooler than what I had anticipated! I think they knocked this one out of the ballpark! Now I've got to dial back down my expectations for the other four. They can't possibly all be this interesting!

Haha, I'm excited for Cursed Mirror and Losheel! So many cool designs in this deck!

Oh shit, I read past the "loses all abilities" part. Oh well, just donk your opponent for 4 then, or turn a big blocker into a 1/1 so you can get that saboteur trigger anyway ;)

Man, this draft has been insane. Such difficult picks in the last few rectangles o_O

Fine! Fourth and last post! And to think that people said this set has nothing to offer! :confused: Campus Guide is an innocuous little artifact. While it doesn't provide card advantage, like Pilgrim's Eye or Skittering Surveyor, {2} is 50% less than {3}, and it actually has on curve stats...

Alright, here we go with the rest of the set! Elite Spellbinder is a sweet design from PVDdR! I like that this attacks with a Flickerwisp body, and the tax stays if Paulo leaves the field. The other two cards both tap into my combat tricks / heroic package. Leonin Lightscribe buffs your...

Instead of pointing to the guild that didn't deviate too much from what it did in the past, you could also point towards other guilds that do, {r/w} in particular.

On to the lessons! Since my color wheel is WBUGR, it's going to look a little wonky as far as Strixhaven includes are concerned. Looking at the colored lessons, there are definitely some very situational ones there. Before I go into individual cards though, there's one very important thing to...
