This set has been redeemed by one card. If this is not my favorite card of the set, I will eat a shark. I am shocked, delighted, and amazed that, in 2025, WotC is letting us put on a +1/+1 counter for each card discarded! It's not per instance, folks! Inti, Seneschal of the Sun is one of...

We're apparently getting a cycle of vanilla legendary creatures, per Mark's seasonal teaser post. To be honest, I would've been excited for one! Over-statted vanilla creatures have always proved extremely compelling to me. Some feel like puzzle pieces you're meant to solve. Others make you...

Not worth a thread on its own, but the full Innistrad Remastered spoiler is up! Extraordinarily happy they're continuing to add cards with the retro frame. There are 13 cards I Cube with that are in this style that I'll be updating, and I'm particularly thrilled about: I also really like...

I went deep in a post on Reddit about this about a month ago. I've only Cubed once since then, but I have done quite a few practice drafts of my Cube as well online. I gave ~15 picks for my favorite cards of the year, but with a lot of reflection, I can get the list down to a trio, if nothing...

I think cards that work across archetypes but still shout out their most natural homes are always ideal in a "this vs. that" situation. You can make pretty novel decks that way and it really expands the replayability of your Cube alongside providing greater personalization of play.

Speaking of which, definitely consider Intrepid Trufflesnout, a delightful card that I've tried out a few times in my on-deck binder and, worst case, has a perpetual home in my on-deck binder. I love the little Boar. Intrepid Trufflesnout Brightcap Badger Karvanista, Loyal Lupari I'm a big fan...

If you don't have 5 in your deck, it's probably not enough, right? That means you'd draw ~2 of them per game on average, and if you don't get two of them, it won't feel like you're getting enough for your hill giant...and even then, that's really the absolute minimum needed to justify it, even...

It scales well with the power level of your Cube, I think there are few environments in which it's overly strong or too weak.

Great retail limited card. The restrictive timing of the sacrifice, in addition to not being able to use it after chumping an opponent's attacker or to blank their spell, make it a little less compelling for a higher powered Cube, but I'm definitely eying it for several Cube projects I'm working...

I'm in the same boat. Completely missed that one on full spoiler, but I've been seeing it in Limited and like it just fine. If the activations were instant-speed, it'd be a slam dunk, but it's still got legs, I think.

The CubeCobra playtest data is pretty accurate for me....but that's probably because of how regularly I draft my Cube online when I have a free minute (and a huge thanks to my favorite MtG Pro Dom Harvey for occasionally showing me how to actually draft my Cube!). I have three observations from...

I tried to queue up to grab the Secret Lair with Storm for my Cube today. No such luck. Not really interested in spending $70 on the secondary market for a marginal card in my list, even if she's the most compelling RUG card yet for a singleton draft format IMO. I could proxy her, but then I'd...

Inclusions: Sun-Blessed Healer Raise the Past Kiora, the Rising Tide Tinybones, Bauble Burglar Aphelia, Viper Whisperer Abyssal Harvester Kellan, Planar Trailblazer Searslicer Goblin Ivora, Insatiable Heir General Kreat, the Boltbringer Sutina, Speaker of the Tajuru Alesha, Who Laughs at Fate...

Mischievous Mystic Flying Whenever you draw your second card each turn, create a 1/1 blue Faerie token with flying. This is pretty close to my perfect Magic card, if you removed the +1/+1 counter part or made it a little harder to do without making the card wordier (to avoid the enabler +...

the key art for the set is the Akira slide would be totally fine as a card, but as the *key art* of the expansion? the thing that kids shows were riffing off 15 years ago? also I previously worked with the art director for the set professionally for a few years. he doesn't really give me...

to me, the set symbol is worse than dedicating a whole expansion to Spiderman we can't even get magic-themed worlds without them being obnoxious tropes, and this is coming from the guy who liked MKM and OTJ more than most

Well shoot, now I need to get a copy of Scrapyard Recombiner

How often is this going to be minimum 3 cards for 3 mana? I like the idea of it but it seems like it'll be Divination too frequently.

Wow, I love these new designs. The power level on all of them is more fair than what my environment normally would support but....I'm going to see what I can do here to make some of them work.

This is really not too far off from being playable in my high power level Cube, honestly. We've never gotten a 4mv instant speed draw 3, and this is it in a good amount of my blue decks. I just took out Gravecrawler, which hurt me greatly, because I realize I no longer run very many zombies...
