I honestly don't think that Morph would be that hard to implement, given that they've already implemented Prototype. Most of the rules headaches for Morph aren't actually stuff that'd be that tricky to code.

I honestly wonder how much of that feeling of blandness comes from how we've recently had a ton of sets that were focused on artifacts in one way or another? Like, out of the ten sets that are currently Standard-legal, eight of them either had some flavor of "artifacts matter" as a draft...

Alquist Proft's flavor texts are legitimately hilarious.

New Azorius Mechanic - Obstruct (When you cast a spell, you may spend {W/U}. If you do, put a stun counter on target creature). Objection! — {2}{W}{W} Instant (c) Objection! costs {1} less for each tapped creature your opponents control. Counter target spell. "Your honor, as you can see, the...

New Simic Mechanic: Experiment with [X] (Create a 2/2 green and blue Lizard Mutant creature token, then put an [X] counter on that creature.) Capture for Study - {1}{U} Instant (c) Return target creature to its owner's hand. If it had any counters on it, you may put those counters on target...

I can't speak to Golden Argosy (I've never played with it), but your cube lists are nowhere near degenerate enough for Hope of Ghirapur's ability to actually put in work.

Exactly. :p

Is Ophiomancer really a medium card, though?

Fighting games: the only space in the entire world where performing the exact same game action four times in a row can make ten thousand people roar with delight.

A bit of a different question from my normal wild speculation about nothing in particular, but... can anyone think of other Wildfire-style build-arounds? Ravnic posting about how someone drafted a surprisingly effective Tunnel Vision combo deck the last time they drafted their Ravnica cube gave...

It took a second for the Tunnel Vision combo to click, but when it did... nice. I'll have to keep that piece of ridiculous meme combo tech in mind for the future.

Yeah, as much as I think leaning away from "tribal" as jargon is a good idea, typal is absolutely shit as a replacement. It's a crying shame that Affinity is already taken...

As far as enablers are concerned... I'd skip stuff like the Huntmaster that need you to draft a critical density of dinos in order to even be playable. Contrast it with, say, Intrepid Paleontologist or Marauding Raptor, where they'd still be worth running even if you only snagged 1-2 other...

I'm fully aware that I'm pretty much doomed to failure here — I picked this as my project almost purely because Scryfall's API is unusually nice, and I've got about a month to get everything done. :p I just thought that having a big, philosophical question (my "big question" basically boils...

My only hesitation about price is that, well... how do you handle cards like Lightning Bolt, which are fantastic but only cost ~$1 because they've been printed into the ground? Would my attempts to account for that artificially inflate the value of all of the random commons that get reprinted...

So, dumb question, but... Is there a way to scrape the ELO numbers from Cube Cobra programatically? I'm currently taking a text mining course and decided to use Magic cards for the final project (because Scryfall's API is great). The issue, though, is that my big "research" question is whether...

The thing is that Junk tokens let you wait — you can have something make a Junk token and then have it sit there until you're ready to use it, which eliminates so many of the traditional downsides to impulse draw that it's kinda unreal. And, unlike Clues or Food, using a Junk token for its...

I mean, unless they're incredibly careful with how they design Junk producers, I can't imagine them having good play patterns? Like, with Blood/Clues/Food/Maps, there's a cost to use them for their "intended" purpose, so you're encouraged to find alternate ways to make use of them. Junk's...

If I ever revisit the Capitalism Cube, I feel like this guy will definitely be worth a look. In general, it feels like this set has been solid for anyone who wants to run a trinket cube in a non-obnoxious way. Like, Braided Net is kinda nuts if you have a bunch of Food or whatever lying around.

The fixing is actually why I like Maps more than Treasures — a treasure-heavy environment encourages some pretty wild greed (which is perfectly in-theme, come to think of it...)
