    Sets (LCI & REX) Lost Caverns of Ixalan and Jurassic Park spoilers

    You're all crazy if you're trying to convince yourself that there's something special about vanilla creatures! Muraganda Petroglyphs and Ayula, Queen Among Bears do not fix that blandness :P

    We only have the words of WotC to go by, but since their main motivation is to lure in new spending players so Ca$hbro gets more money, I don't see why they would lie on this specific topic. By their own admission, "Low complexity" was tried for years to attract new players, but that actually...

    I do love Fallout though!

    I was just about to comment that a higher booster price does mean a higher cost of entry, so it's not all win-win. I do think this change will make retail drafts more exciting, and building a cube to draft "for free" more appealing.

    Way more boosters are ripped open just for the thrill of opening a pack than for actually playing a draft. More bomb rares is more excitement for those booster rippers (a majority) at the cost of more unbalanced gameplay for limited enjoyers (a minority). However, limited play is still...

    As a non-native speaker this sentence is weird for two reasons. The first one is that “which” sounds fancy and/or old-fashioned, in a “who still speaks like that” way. Personally I would use “that” every single time. The second is that appreciate in this context immediately scans in its “hold...

    I mean, they are very transparent about the differences between the three types of boosters (draft, set, and play). We know that the EV per dollar spent of draft and set boosters are roughly similar, and we also know the play and draft boosters will be roughly similar, and that the difference...

    or about Patrick Sullivan's hot take?

    No there isn't, because they didn't disclose the probability of opening a rare/mythic in either of the wildcard slots. The EV per spent dollar should roughly remain similar though.

    The list card is, in fact, playable in draft, as are the wildcards. That makes for 13 draftable cards, or 14 if a set puts a nonbasic land in the land slot. This is down 1 slot from the current 14-15 cards in draft boosters, but we're going from 10 commons to 6-9 commons (slot #7 contains a...

    Yeah, change the frame and flavor text, and you're good!

    Would fit seemlessly into Innistrad or New Capenna!

    "game : paper" is a good way to exclude Alchemy cards from your search results ;) (remove the spaces)

    Every time a player rolls Vision Charm, you can see them dying a little inside :P

    Wow, you must be fun at parties :P I laughed at the "tooth my kid lost last week", but maybe that's just because I have kids myself XD

    Yeah, looks like a pretty deece artifact lord in Servo-minded cubes! Hate the cyberman creature type though, but we can use customs to work around that :D

    It looks similar in power level to Escape to the Wilds and Showdown of the Skalds to me, and those are perfectly in line for my own mid-powered cube. You're sometimes seeing more cards, but it doesn't have any additional riders, and it makes you work for the upside of exiling more cards, so...

    I mean this is going come out on turn 5 with haste if you build a deck around it. Maybe add a Dolmen Gate and extra attack steps and go ham! Also fun with Barter in Blood effects! Obviously dies to sweepers, but this is a sweet line of text :)

    Because better commanders don't necessarily make for more fun Commander games and because it's easier to create a wide variety of Commanders at a lower power band. Like I said, the needs and wants of Commander don't really align with those of other formats, particularly Cube (unless you run a...
