I don't believe you, blacksmithy! Surely proxies must cost roughly $15 per card to make? Otherwise, why would this fine product exist?

Honestly, that's the galling thing. I'd love to do a paper draft or a sealed pool with the honest-to-god Beta card pool, and I sincerely doubt that I'm the only one. If they had priced these things like normal packs, they'd probably sell like hotcakes. If this product sells well, it's going to...

The sweet thing about this pair is that Mishra's the only one that actually has to survive — Unearth means that you can continually threaten a swing from one of the Timmiest creatures ever. It's wild to me that it's going to be possible to curve T3 Liliana (pitching Phyrexian Dragon Engine), T4...

What's pissing me off is that this is probably going to sell out. This is the kind of product that needs to fail, because it sets precedent for much they can charge for literal garbage.

In my defense, it was 5am when I posted that. No, I don't wake up early. Insomnia is a jerk.

On a slightly different note... here are my favorite bounce spells that aren't just Unsummon (or Unsummon+cantrip). Familiar's Ruse Withdraw Release to the Wind Baral's Expertise Familiar's Ruse is probably my favorite "bad Counterspell", since it's actually Counterspell with an upside if you...

They're so expensive because I own all of them. Sorry.

This is part of the reason why I specified that the duals would be check/slow. If you draft a Rootbound Crag, suddenly Forests and Mountains are higher picks. If you draft a Shattered Sanctum, any basic becomes a higher pick. If you didn't see any duals, you're generally just going to draft...

Do it! Absolutely nothing will go wrong!

I don't think there is any other end game, especially since this isn't really a WotC decision. This is a direct result of WotC basically doubling their revenue a few years back, and Hasbro going "oh, cool — now do that again!" It's just that the first doubling was a result of a mixture of luck...

Thought I'd shove this idea here, rather than letting it get buried in the BRO thread. A slightly different take on this would be to, instead of trading in your sick basics, use them to "upgrade" the checkland/slowland mana base that the cube otherwise runs on. Show off a Mountain or Forest to...

An alternate idea would be to have them as a squadron pick. You drafted that sick Mountain? Boom, you have four of them to pretty up your deck.

I was being very literal. Social media gives me actual, literal panic attacks. Don't show that shit to me mid-game.

Silly suggestion: let people trade in two sick basics of different colors to get a copy of a better-than-usual dual lands for those colors. Like, maybe your normal RG dual land is a Sheltered Thicket, but you can trade in a cool Forest and a cool Mountain to get a Taiga.

I have to say, I literally shouted "oh come on, more spoilers already?" when I saw this thread.

It might also help if your cards generally have "rough" mana costs. A spell that costs 1UU pushes you way harder towards playing blue than one that costs 2U, especially if that 1UU spell is really strong.

Cephalid Wizard is actually the wrong creature type. Cephalid Looter is a sneaky Cephalid Rogue. Such a sneaky guy, pretending to be a Wizard to lull people into a sense of false security! (I'm not actually planning on cubing Cephalid Looter. I just thought that this was a fun little thing.)

How much of a monster would I be if I cubed this?

I won't run it personally, but... here's something that I appreciate: Magnus the Red They got his colors right!
