witness the power of putting in the bare minimum of effort

Ostracize is fairly outdated for what it's worth, replaced by both Divest and Despise. The new discard spell still manages to be strictly better than the strictly better ostracize however, assuming you're not doing Dauthi Voidwalker or similar shenanigans.

I wish I could if only for those sick pants. One part of the layout I really like is that wotc only has half of the text box to use. I do think it's unfortunate that prototyping them is most often going to be the default, but that's not signaled very well.

just jam more street wraiths

Prototype has me hoping I can find a replacement for Myr Battlesphere I'm more into. Fleshgorger is close, but it doesn't work all that well with Animate Dead. Hurkyl is kind of funky, I'm not sure if you want to diversify your card types or not, it's probably best to be somewhat moderate so...

hmm, maybe I shouldn't have made that post right before getting pretty busy and not posting for several days. I'm happy some of you got some paragraphs off your chest though.

it's ok, maybe you'd play it in jund decks with w&6 or to trigger vengevine in graveyard decks, but on the whole of it I'd expect it to have minimal impact on most formats, a lot of decks have gotten pretty good at using their mana

Strictly speaking you're not limited to putting retrace on instants and sorceries.

No, nor can there be. Landfall has no mechanical relevance, it's basically flavor text.

Remind me not to use arena-rebalanced cards in my cube again so I don't have to deal with them suddenly disappearing from cubecobra when they leave standard.

where are my weebs at mob psycho 100 sabikui bisco to your eternity vinland saga violet evergarden hunter x hunter baccano

I've no idea. I have it in to justify including Life from the Loam, and because it counts as two spells for triggers like prowess.

Throes of Chaos is the ideal retrace card, as it doesn't create repetitive game-states.

Rebuy your tutor targets. Trigger "leaves the battlefield" triggers. Put your Thoracle on the bottom if you milled it. I think you'd need an environment with a lot of tutoring or shuffling and filtering to make it more interesting than Star, which also works with other sac outlets.

I went in mostly blind and drafted a pile for you. Don't think too hard about my picks, because I certainly didn't. I think I skipped over a crucible because I forgot I had a fastbond, among other things. Remind me next week and I'll see if I can take a look at their codebase and make a pull...

Magic is a pretty simple game so it's important to have some confusing cards to ensure the rules lawyers also gets to look forward to cube night.

Sounds like something a ninja would say.

yes the designers all have 2 toughness

The cube has changed significantly in the 10 months since I made that statement. The artifact density is higher, and half of the payoffs I talk about in that post are gone, including Ravager being swapped out for Trawler as of post#6. Auriok Salvagers does roughly two things exclusively...
