The alienating part. That's my own personal reaction vs. yours, nothing more! I don't think it's a crammed release schedule personally either. Their internal data will certainly be deciding it, but what I'm saying is that I think it's finding a good rhythm.

I completely disagree but it was a terrible move to have this reveal literally the week after Doctor Who released. I would've done anything, anything, even disrupt Ixalan spoilers, to avoid these optics. We're at a rate of 2 UB releases a year, and a handful of SLs. It's honestly very...

Unbelievably lovely lands that tell a great story -- what a great way to utilize WUBRG order! Some all-timers across the board. However, I personally prefer these: These isometric-styled lands inspired by the first two Fallout games are a delight. Nostalgic and evocative while being valuable...

I wrote an article on the topic for Cardboard by the Numbers and it's gotten pretty heated discussion on Twitter. It's the article I've written I'm most happy with, which is frustrating when I made a dumb mistake on the first iteration (I forgot most sets have 30 set boosters per box, not 24...

Totally get why (article coming soon) but I'm sad that we're forced to get foils and random bonus rares in our drafts. They say they're designing with it in mind, and I did love MOM draft a lot, so maybe I'm being alarmist, but I do think this negatively impacts the integrity of retail drafts as...

Yeah, I ran it for a long time, but Monarch isn't the way I wanted to go in my Cube. It's a great pick though!

Necron DeathmarkDalek Drone I think they're close. I wouldn't particularly prefer the Dalek Drone in a vacuum, but I can't pretend I don't prefer nugging my opponent for 3 over milling (usually myself) a few cards. A 5/3 on the ground is generally worse than a 3/3 that's de-facto unblockable...

I didn't pick that one up yet, but DM me your budget and I can see what I can do - almost all of the sales for these I've been able to find have been in private FB groups and only ship to the US, but I'd be happy to serve as in-between for Europe now that I'm back here.

You missed my favorite, Really Charming Prince! It sucks that it's at random, but that also helps with choice paralysis, and I can have the 4 of them ready to go in my token box. Having this effect on a 2MV 2-power flyer is pretty fun, I think. I was able to snag original copies of Force of...

New round of Alchemy spoilers for Eldraine, it's been on hold for a while and I'm not sure why they started this back up, but as @Chris Taylor said in another thread a few days ago: It's worth looking at these designs, since they're not really being discussed anywhere from a design POV. As...

Thought it was worth putting here for posterity, also because there are some changes I've considered since I posted the other day. Miles' Recommendations Sarah Jane SmithAstrid PethFrost Fair Lure FishThe Sea Devils Each of these cards provides something exciting and new that expands options...

Don't think it's going to be worth a thread to talk about includes, but it looks like I've got 4 -- much fewer than I would've anticipated, and only half of what made it in my cube from 40k and lasted the year since. Since I have very little awareness of 40k and love Doctor Who to bits, that's...

This is fun!

Kylie Minogue is a guaranteed inclusion in my cube. I was running Meriadoc Brandybuck for a moment and this is just so much better and does so many fun trinket things. Easy easy pick, even if I wasn't running trinkets-matter and legends-matter. Speaking of which... Would kill to run this if...

On an ELO basis, that makes sense. It's only played in 719 cubes as of writing, and most of the popular Cubes it's run in seem like Commander cubes or those restricted to Pioneer, etc. -- contexts where there are not very many strong GW creatures available. Interesting callout! I'm glad it's not...

Torsten, Founder of BenaliaGhalta and Mavren For a GW top-end card in my 720 list, I'm currently running Ghalta and Mavren, which is a very fun Timmy card. I just found out Torsten, Founder of Benalia exists, and it seems like it's probably better? Ghalta and Mavren still passes the Vindicate...

Thank you for mentioning this one @Rusje, I never want to miss a moment to hype up this card, which is the most Rakdos card in character I've ever played with, and unbelievably fun.

Apologies folks, here's the survey for Blood Crypt! Had issues logging into either of the previous free tools I used for these, but we're back baby. It's the Unfinity one: It's pretty cool! If we hadn't just gotten the Innistrad Blood Crypt, this would have become the sole UNF...

Day 17: Blood Crypt With the upcoming cycle of old-border shocks by Rob Alexander, I'll likely be swapping all of mine to those, but I currently run the Innistrad version because Rakdos is not my favorite aesthetic representation of BR nor is it the most representative of the vibes, in my...

Certainly we could get adventures in Ixalan, but my bet's that he's going to be the sole "Adventurer" unless someone else from Eldraine came through the Omenpaths with him. Him having Adventure is the mechanical/story through-line between sets IMO
