Big dump of custom lands. The idea here is pretty simple: in the average draft, you wind up making use of 30 cards out of your 45, maximum. One way to change that is by including utility lands. However, a lot of utility lands are a) weak b) boring c) multicolor (which is self-defeating because...

Agreed. MDFCs are fantastic when they're elegant and concise and a garbage fire when they're not. I'm having a hard time thinking of another mechanic that's this good when it's implemented one way and this bad when it's implemented poorly.

Remember that it's not a 2/1 flyer token, it's a 3/2 flyer token (so long as this is still on the board). Drake Haven, eat your heart out. 1 less mama than Open the Graves for a much better body/ability combo sounds great. I think that if I can get two tokens out of this I'm going to be super...

Hopefully a nerdy high schooler or, better yet, a nerdy middle schooler. On topic, these look GREAT. I might even have to run the Lorehold dragon. This is everything I've wanted for RW and then some. And with the Secret Archive too? Best set of 2021 material.

Command the Dreadhorde Bolas's Citadel Preference among these Black 6-drops that are best in control/combo and that cost life? I know that they're not precisely competing for the same spot, but there're only so many sixes one can run. Other Contenders: Liliana, Dreadhorde General...

Not much to add besides 1) you're dang right, but this is something I never knew I wanted until you mentioned it and 2) you list Goblin Commando twice. Did you mean to, or is there another creature you wanted?

Yeah, but Kaldheim was spoiled across more than an entire month with a break for the Christmas-New Year's holiday week-and-a-half. (December 15-January 19!! https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/where-find-kaldheim-previews-2020-12-15) I'm much happier having the spoilers take...

Yup. I wish they'd spend more of the movies getting at the heart of who the characters are and why they do what they do in the way that Thor: Ragnarok breaks down both Thor and Hulk. Contrast that with Iron Man 3 and how clumsily they handle the emotional storyline of Tony Stark dealing with...

For contrast, I happen to really like the flavor and I'm really glad that WotC is both pushing the envelope and that they're pushing it in this direction. Specifically, I appreciate how they're explicitly calling out a lot of different magical academy tropes AND addressing school-based tropes...

The Return of the King. ...that's it. That's the whole post. Okay, I lied. You're so much better than Denethor (and hopefully a tidier eater) and have a good shot of winning it back with eight whole months to go. I do think that there's been a big influx of users over the last year...

If you're worried about space, making the house rule that Lesson = Arcane might be a relatively elegant way to stitch things together. Also, between this and Runes I'm wondering if WotC is going to be more amenable to using noncreature subtypes in the future. I'd imagine that this results from...

https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/tinkerers-cube-mtga.3210/ This thread did a pretty good job summing it up. It's a pretty typical 'first cube, midrange/greedy goodstuff' style. Not miserable, but not particularly inspiring.

Very. Very very. He seems like he's a good combination of a lot of archetypes, but mostly he just wins games if unanswered. The 'Protection against Humans' clause is also really powerful, probably the single best 'Protection from creatures' because he can't be killed by Palace Jailer, etc. AND...

Being able to win at instant speed is a lot better than winning at the start of your upkeep. Also, dang, I completely forgot about "Villain Loses" cards, great catch!

I think I've shared my cubing origin story in parts before, but never from the start and never in a single place. It all started in the far-flung mists of March 2018 with the release of a set called "Masters 25." Like many others, I was drawn back in to Magic by the promise of seeing old friends...

Sounds like the perfect card to squadron to me. ....actually, now I want to do that.

I think it's possible that Magecraft is the new Evergreen mechanic, and the copying bit could just be to give it some life in eternal formats. Or alternatively this could be a more general change in consistency. Looking back through Scryfall, the last time Standard saw "whenever you cast an...

Liliana also looks super sickly in those first three cards, whereas Professor Onyx looks like she's eating three meals a day, bathing regularly, getting time to relax, not being tormented by demons, free of ancient cursed artifacts, etc. ------- That is some heinous alternate art. Actually...

It was, but the key difference is that with Tragic Arrogance YOU choose what lives, whereas Single Combat says that you choose what of your stuff lives and your opponent chooses what of their stuff lives. So it's a lot worse :/ The "can't cast more critters" bit is nice, though!

Danny Trejo is super into Magic, oddly enough. There was a commercial for Arena with him and Day9 a couple years ago. Edit: (actually)fixed the link.
