Spoilers because this goes places. I mean, I also find 5e to be really bland mechanically, and I find streamed actual plays to be misleading at best, but the spoiled bit is what soured me on the edition.

OK, as far as I'm concerned: I've been a tabletop RPG person since... 2008-ish? And I fell out of love with D&D and its settings around 2014. The thing about Forgotten Realms is that a surface-level visit (like what we'd get in a set) isn't going to dig into the stuff that makes the...

The core set got replaced by the D&D set, which leaves a bad taste in my mouth, for a bunch of reasons.

The point is to come up with a 180-card cube where the Kamigawa exertlands are actually worth playing.

An incredibly stupid idea: Cloudcrest Lake Waterveil Cavern Lantern-Lit Graveyard Pinecrest Ridge Tranquil Garden Cloudcrest Lake Waterveil Cavern Lantern-Lit Graveyard Pinecrest Ridge Tranquil Garden Guildless Commons Guildless Commons Guildless Commons Guildless Commons Guildless Commons...

Grapple has a few key advantages: You can use it as a Regrowth that mills 3 in a pinch. If you have a way to recast it, it synergizes with itself. It's easier to set up a situation where Grapple gives you maximum value. It asks way less from your deck to be good. I dunno, I've just played with...

If Mulch is good in your cube, Winding Way is a strictly better Mulch. If Mulch doesn't cut it, then you probably aren't going to want Winding Way.

You take that back! Green mages have ways to make creatures better, ways to get access to creatures, ways to use creatures, ways to ramp out lands, and a touch of removal! We can do spell-slinging too! Animist's Awakening Gather the Pack Weather the Storm Nissa's Pilgrimage Sprouting Vines...

Following on from your mention of blue's "bounce to blink" strategy, I'd like to draw attention to a few pet cards of mine: Familiar's Ruse Peel from Reality Withdraw Withdrawal is probably the strongest card out of the three for this particular strategy (it can reset two of your creatures...

Reveillark is only as good as the creatures in your deck (and, by extension, your cube) with power 2 or less. Like, it shouldn't be "Kill this, and I'll grab Baleful Strix". It should be "Kill this, and I'll grab Nekrataal and Blade Splicer".

From what I've seen, it has no reason to be a Magic game. The actual gameplay looks good, if Diablo clones are something you like.

I feel like this is less of a "draft the haste/Primal Forcemage deck" thing, and more of a "hey, this interacts with a surprisingly broad range of cards" thing.

And there're a bunch of ways to leverage that boost, beyond literally granting haste: The obvious ones are Dash and Suspend: Greater Gargadon Treetop Ambusher But what about stuff that puts creatures onto the battlefield tapped and attacking? Throat Slitter Tilonalli's Summoner Or, you...

Hmm... Roiling Regrowth has the advantage that you don't need to sacrifice the land if it gets countered, and the disadvantage that it isn't a good spell to copy (copying Harrow puts you up three lands — Roiling Regrowth only gets you two). EDIT: Oh, yeah, and the lands enter tapped. My...

Curse you, Harrow, for hiding from my search! In all seriousness, if I wanted to support a land-based ramp deck, I'd probably run Harrow, Search, and the Giant. Maybe a Loam package as well? Slip a recursion/copying package into Red, and it's a party.

Beanstalk Giant is the best "put a basic land onto the battlefield untapped" for 3 mana, because look at that absolute unit. The competition: Grow from the Ashes Primal Growth Renewal Search for Tomorrow Untamed Wilds (EDIT: In all seriousness, it depends on your environment. I'd probably...

Devourer of Memory

Something I've noticed while fiddling with my cube(s) is that there's a very real tension between what I want out of a match as a player, and what I want out of the environment as a designer. To give just one example of this, I love creatures with good ETBs as a player. As a designer, however...

He should have that video up soon-ish — it was a pretty good game :p Also... why include Regrowth, when you can include... Den Protector Eternal Witness Skullwinder Greenwarden of Murasa
