As someone who works in a copyright-adjacent field... calling intellectual property laws "clearly defined" is a bit of a stretch, since (at least in the US) the actual intent behind the law has been folded, spindled, and mutilated over time. The subject of AI art also falls into pretty weird...

I think poison is, but Infect isn't. I'm honestly kinda bummed that we're getting a "fixed" Infect in ONE. Not because I want more real Infect (that ship has sailed), but because I wish that they would have gone with a more flavorful version of the archetype. I want to see the control version...

Gush unfortunately wants you to have two Islands to bounce, which isn't something that the mana base can normally do. Like, you could have it in the cube, but it'd be as an A+B combo piece instead of a generically good draw spell. Deprive is a decent shout, though. I'm honestly a little...

Tinkering is a fun card if you have some cheap way to copy it — I run it in my Wort EDH and it feels pretty nice there. In a normal context? Eh. I agree that the cheaper "Thrill of Possibility + Treasures" cards are probably better use of that slot. --- Speaking of combos with Echo of Eons...

Shigeki, Jukai Visionary Regrowth Early Harvest You need 12 mana worth of basic lands, but it gives you infinite mana and coincidentally lets you loop everything in your graveyard an infinite number of times.

That's why you combine it with Paradoxical Outcome (or similar) — tap your eggs to pay for Paradoxical Outcome to pick up those eggs and replay them. (I am, in fact, just describing the Kaladesh standard "storm" deck :p)

Clearly they were designed by programmers. :p I'm not sure that "start at level 1" would be a good move, since some level up creatures are actually insanely well statted for their costs if you do: Ikaral Outrider Skywatcher Adept Zulaport Enforcer Joraga Treespeaker EDIT: I feel like the best...

Protip: pair it with Inspiring Statuary Actually, just run Statuary anyway — it synergizes really well with stuff that makes artifact tokens but avoids taking over the game the way that Urza, Lord High Artificer can.

I'm legitimately surprised that this wasn't Magic 30 — "hey, let's celebrate Magic's history by drafting Dominaria's greatest hits" would have gone over really well.

Reusing Lands For Fun And Profit - Some Examples Tazeem Raptor Daze Tragic Lesson Wayward Guide-Beast Devour In Flames Greenside Watcher Quirion Ranger Slab Hammer The main trick here is that you're trying to reuse Plaza of Harmony's ETB or your utility gate's activated ability. Tazeem...

I appreciate your hustle, but I'm not sure that extra fast mana would fit with what the cube's doing. :p I don't have time to elaborate on it right now, but I wonder if this cube wants some stuff that bounces lands? Part of me is envisioning a control deck built around Soratami Savant, and...

You're missing... Paradoxical Outcome For your Eggs archetype.

Oh, don't worry Onder — I know bbcode (I've been using it in one way or another since I was 14-15 or so)... I'm just lazy and the WYSIWYG editor is the default. I just thought I'd lodge a "bug report" in case someone could do something.

I was worried that that would be the answer. :(

Sadly, Heap's ability to make treasure actually costs {3} — you need to tap Heap and another Gate, and then pay {1} on top of that. As a result, the Haymaker sequence isn't actually possible (unlike the "committed" line, which I didn't see — good shout!). As for punishing the Plaza line... Kavu...

Not enough to deal with that much trinket text. :p EDIT: Actually, this raises an interesting question — how many land drops do you need to be able to make before a landfall card is "worth it"? Like, is cube all-star Tireless Tracker worth running if you're getting at most two clues out of it...

Hey everyone! I have noticed a pretty annoying little glitch with the WYSIWYG editor. If you start a line in bold or italics, then hitting the bold/italics button or shortcut again doesn't work properly. For example, this is what happens if I type the following into the editor...

I'm alright with 4c decks being a thing, honestly. That said, blacksmithy, how the heck are you building around 4C Omnath in a cube where you only have 5 lands total? Are you that in love with the idea of a 4/4 visionary for {R}{G}{W}{U} that will give you 4 life if you sequence properly? :p...

True... but you can do all of those things anyways, right? To put it another way: Can you describe any archetypes that are enabled by the presence of the Worship Emblem? For the sake of comparison, the Capitalism Cube is full of cards that are only worth including because of the emblem —...

It feels super obvious to me in retrospect, but one tweak that tightens up the mana considerably is to swap Gateway Plaza for Transguild Promenade (because we want our taxland to be on theme). Then you'd still have a gold land for splashing, but Plaza of Harmony would still be limited to the...
