I'd rather play Mending of the two of them. For the Azorius decks I usually draft card quality is often times more important than card quantity. You can make up the minor disadvantage you get from a looting effect if it means that you get to nab multiple creatures with a wrath or set up an...

Urza's Saga is a fantastic card when you can exploit the various features, but YMMV with your cube composition. Low to the ground cubes or ones that feature some kind of artifact theme? Gold. Ones that are more midrange-y and/or value driven? Probably not so great. I think that the playstyle...

It's definitely got vibes, but I'd say more Fist of the North Star which was a huge influence on early Jojo. Also the most testosterone fueled manga I've ever read. It's like a Schwarzenegger film brought to manga:

Because some of us don't like blending two genres we might otherwise enjoy separately. I'm fine with Cyberpunk and futuristic sci-fi, just not a fan of it being embedded into the traditional Japanese mythology that defined original Kamigawa. It loses sight of what made Kamigawa interesting and...

Yeah, that was my plan as well with third party sales being ridiculously scalped right now. It's absolutely insane given the scarcity of quality Sony exclusive titles this early into the generation. I signed up for this Sony Direct waitlist a little under two months ago and just completely...

One of these is uhhh very much not like the others.

Wait what? Just continue in the other thread. We don't need 3 whole threads on a set two months away.

Yes absolutely. I've already put in my preorder and am planning on taking two days off from work to make an extended weekend out of it. Beyond hyped after seeing the footage from the network test. I was also somehow able to snag a PS5 off a Sony Direct invite earlier this week so I'm...

We need a Barf Emoji.

Hit: Incidental support for existing archetypes that couldn't quite get there before and more incidental graveyard hate stapled onto playable bodies. To make an archetype like U/R Artifacts a reality in a higher powered cube you needed cards that were playable on their own but would shine in a...

I'm 100% with you on this. Magic is nowhere near as compelling as it was for me or my long standing playgroup compared to 2013-2018 and a lot of that is due to rapid shifts in their design philosophy and how they've treated their players as a whole. I used to be someone that was very engaged...

Ham-fisted. It's not elegant, flavorful or evocative at all. Literally just there to make this into a 5C legendary option. The indestructible buff is a nice callback to That Which was Taken, but that's about it.

Yes, adoption of anime and manga in the West didn't really become big until around the late 90s/early 00s with the likes of Toonami in the states and the publication of monthly Shonen Jump in the early 00s. I still vividly remember when my friend on the bus introduced me to manga and being blown...

Absolutely. I'm pretty meh on the cycle of lands they decided to go with for Cube. When they first came out I thought that the BFZ lands were the perfect dual for the type of environment I was building and my experiences with them over 5 years in multiple formats have only reaffirmed that...

Just give me the enemy half of the BFZ land cycle you cowards. That's all I'm waiting for with each spoiler season on a new plane.

It's pretty gross how brazen WoTC has been with trying to milk its players the last few years with these variants and releases all while cutting corners across the board. Ugh.

I really only focus on my main cube, everything else I tinker with on Cobra is mostly just a theoretical exercise for fun. I keep my cube updated set to set because its just easier that way, and its fun to participate in spoiler season, but I usually don't pick up cards unless they're really...

Even if there are now better options, FoF is just a much more engaging game experience whenever its cast. Both players have fun with the mini-game of piles and choices so it'll likely never be leaving my cube.

I dislike Un-sets in general aside from the lands so this one is an easy skip for me. Being able to take a break until a real set in February is refreshing. I don't get it, is there a bigger market than I'm aware of for Un-sets? I've been playing Magic actively for around 8 years now and have...

Usually it comes down to how much additional upkeep there is for its inclusion. Like I'm not going to play cards featuring the Energy mechanic, but something like the occasional Eternalize off an Earthshaker Khenra or Champion of Wits is fine since drafters can literally just have part of the...
