Something just clicked in my head. You know what "format" this set is going to really help? Custom Jumpstart packs. We're going to have a second Thriving cycle which will probably be cheaper. On top of that, those new Thriving lands are Gates, which means that you can make a set of packs where...

Hmm... this actually articulates why I don't like a lot of the WAR-IKO era of design. Thanks for sharing!

I'll admit, I do undervalue effects that are super common within a color (so Pyrotechnics ends up looking less awesome than White Regrowth.)

Crystal Dragon does seem to be the best one in the cycle so far. Compare: I am amused at how many people are complaining about Emerald Dragon, though.

I feel like the best signal for Gate synergy (especially if you're running it alongside cycles of better duals) is something like Open the Gates Especially if you're running some of the new Gates.

This is 100% not my final submission. This is also why I don't generally bother to make customs these days...

Alaundo seems like an interesting fellow, especially if you have an "untap creatures a bunch of times" archetype in your cube. I'll be honest with you all — I hate this style of card. I don't like the feeling that WotC is building my deck for me, ya know?

Mistress Af Peeing Indoors, please. LordMopi is my nemesis from the mirror universe.

Master Of Dying In Nevada?

I mean... the big difference is that you can aim a kill spell at Immersturm Predator before combat and feel assured that you aren't going to have to deal with a big indestructible dragon attacking or blocking this turn — Aristo just rips a token's throat open, laughs at your removal spell, and...

Remember, this is good ol' "vintage doesn't have good enough mana" blacksmithy you're talking to. ;) I love it.

I'd honestly say that it's more of a 4C "archetype" at this point, with most of the explicit support living in Rakdos/Jund and Blue loving artifacts in general. ... As someone who has tried multiple iterations of making a Treasure-themed cube... you really need to nail down exactly what you...

You are correct there. I still think it's pretty clunky, but it's less clunky than I thought it was.

I just hate that, cards-as-written, you can't really use the initiative cards with the pre-existing venture cards. That's just clunky design, WotC! (I mean, yes, cards that go "do THE THING when you complete a dungeon" work, but you can't choose to venture into the Undercity unless you have an...

Is it just me, or does this set feel like a custom set some D&D fans tossed together? Looking at the official spoilers (and the vast number of leaks), it doesn't feel like it coheres. I do think that some of the designs are cute, though I'm not a big fan of how Backgrounds are literally useless...

I think Flash looks fair to me — it's basically Swiftfoot Boots with the haste swapped for a +1/+0.

Is Ascension Level 5 supposed to consist solely of Backup Plan?

reject free spells embrace the free cube

Yeah, this. Does it suck that you lost money over this after months of getting no news? Yes, definitely, and she should have kept you informed about her progress (or lack thereof) way earlier. It's just that "she sends you back the money she received" is basically the only simple way to handle...

It's actually exactly $3 at the moment. The current exchange rate, as of the market closing on May 9th, 2022, from NOK to USD is 1kr to $0.10. Also, here's the thing: 1. She does have to pay some of those fees to return your money — Paypal takes their cut both ways, for example. 2. The money...
