Dancing Sword just reminds me that I should really try to make room for Maul of the Skyclaves. Neat card though! Kind of wild that we're getting a new card type after being 2/3 of the way through spoilers? It's Level Up meets Sagas, so it's reasonably interesting as a card type, potential...

This is probably not a reasonable inclusion for me but I want it to be because it's recursive and lets you double-dip on your spells pretty easily...I don't think it costing U less for casting a spell helps much with a multi-color deck since blue is the most spell-heavy color. The recursion is...

Ebondeath is pretty easy to kill with spells, but your opponent is losing card advantage if they're not exiling. That recursion requirement is easier to meet than any Phoenix in history (new red skull head boi excepted maybe?)! Black decks in my cube and many others here have a lot of...

Pretty torn. Just off the back of Nadaar, Selfless Paladin, there's enough to justify their inclusion from a power level basis, and there's a lot of cool and interesting decisions they allow for, but the level of complication they bring... I'm already planning on creating and printing out a...

Slamdunk for me, wow. Did not expect to like this set so much, but there's some fun, evocative designs every other card spoiled! I lover recursive creatures, cards that don't mind getting milled or sitting in graveyards, etc. and the flash on this actually puts it over the top in terms of...

I'm obsessed with these modal cards with flavor text. I've changed my tune on this set. I absolutely love that this is a D&D set, and hope it leads to more creative card concepts for Magic in the future inspired by the successes they find here. Again, I've never really played D&D, but just...

Today we'll get enough spoilers that it should make everyone's mind up one way or another who's feeling ambivalent. For me, I've only played D&D for three sessions total. It just doesn't mean anything to me, and I've always been of the POV that Magic lucked out with the better artwork but D&D...

I'm pretty doubtful that dungeons will make my list, but I think it's an interesting enough mechanic. The fact that you can choose from all three of them is...weird design, I feel. We'll probably get more from the EDH decks too, right?

Rabblemaster Land! Unbelievably easy include for me, I'd want this in my list no matter my size or power-level because it's both so flexible and so fair. I'm legitimately in love. I'm trying to figure out if I like the showcase frame though -- it's aesthetically very fun, but it 1) doesn't...

Ha, sorry about that! I think it'd work pretty well all the same, I've been really enjoying seeing the rogue picks from folks here and on Reddit already.

In a recent change to Cube Cobra, you can now sort your cube by popularity. This has been a great way of quickly finding the deep cuts in other peoples' lists already, and is quite revealing for exposing the more controversial cards in my own cube. I've previously tried to use other tools to see...

My biggest regret here is not putting proportionate effort into my Cube's description, calling out themes, archetypes, etc. because it was so much fun to read through everyone else's. Going to draft my favorites here tonight to figure out the best two for my votes!

I tried Krenko in a Legacy cube for a while (2 years?), and it was a removal check for sure, because it'd tap for usually 2-3 Goblins the first time around, threatening to do much worse. When we were cubing with Bloodline Keeper for a long time and it was about as good as the front side. It...

Great article, one of my favorite recaps of the set so far. Also, you've really sold me on Timeless Dragon, which I was previously interested in but I'm now excited as all can be for!

Yeah, I had to stop myself from continually fixing it because I was using it as a constant distraction from work! @japahn, I'm really digging the Total War cube -- great writeup too! I'm only sad you didn't include a pet favorite card of mine, Total War ...and the name is cute.

They haven't spoiled them yet, but they're going to be brand new cards. Magic-themed reprints of them will be available ~6 months after their Secret Lair release, and while they won't have the alternate name on each version like they did with the Godzilla art arts, they'll work in the same way...

Couldn't be more disinterested in this particular franchise/aesthetic for MtG, but I'm sure they'll put something mechanically compelling enough for me to either grumble about or wait six months for a $90 MtG-ified spin-off from "The List".

The gold frame is the biggest reason why the new frames are an upgrade. I still strongly prefer the old-border for everything else, but if it's the new frame, I wish everything could be the incredible Colorshifted frame that they've only used once (!) that still evokes a fantasy feel with its...

Here's my submission. Inspired by Modern Horizons 2 pretty heavily, since it's been on my mind lately!

I'm personally a fan of the higher quantity of cards being produced each year, especially in the current draft world where sets follow a stricter framework. It means that new cards are less likely to be substantively different from one set to the next below Rare, and Development misses on power...
