TCGplayer to at least find cards; if I end up ordering a lot of cards from one site I go to that store's site itself (which is pretty often). eBay to snipe badly-listed foils and "I want this sold" buy-it-nows. I've had problems with a single TCGplayer seller: the card was 3 weeks late and...

This guy is neat, but I must be the only person who likes battlecry a lot on this forum; paladin is sweet. Another x/1 to be absolutely decimated by cunning sparkmage, gelectrode etc.

They couldn't really give green trample since Nylea does that already... it's "obvious" that red is haste because it has _nothing_ else consistently, but 2 things: Removing haste from your opponent's creatures is pretty worthless a ton of the time, and hammer of purphoros already gives all your...

4 mana 5/5 french vanilla flier as a mythic 5 mana 4/3 flier with an ability as an uncommon. Mythics are supposed to be powerful or do something special, right? This is pretty pathetic. I'm just always hurtbutt pretty much every release about red's mythics being lazy, unplayable, or...

I just want to share this little tidbit: air servant Thank you red mythics for being only mildly better than blue uncommons.

As an instant? Unfortunately for me my LGS is where Sheldon runs an EDH league so the MTG crowd is largely both EDH-centered and controlled by his every word. It also keeps me from playing there on Thursdays. They are insufferable as a group.

I think this phoenix would be a 'good rare' but is hardly a mythic. It does ok in stupid-early standard testing but I don't think it warrants a glorious 4-drop slot in cube. Flame-Wreathed Phoenix {2}{R}{R} Flying Tribute 2 If tribute wasn't paid it gains haste and "when this creature dies...

Newer, praetor-esque versions of the valor cycle are cute. I want tribute to be good. Here's an ok uncommon, Kiora's Follower

In case anyone misses it hybrid mana symbols will only be counted once per two-color god (and potentially other cards); it simply checks each symbol if it's either color. Hybrid just says "yes" and gets counted, so super-hybrid cheaties won't be happening. As far as spoilers so far I'm not...

No love for Warren Instigator I also like good old goblin shortcutter an awful lot, and if you're going deep enough quest for the goblin lord is pretty sweet.

Trinket mage is probably awful in turbo-aggro world, but he can so much cool stuff! Lovingly referred to as BBR (blue borderland ranger) he gets played often enough.

Oh god I just noticed the bottom-left corner of the border is a pointed angle while the bottom-right is rounded. Vomit. I also wonder if something like 12/12 can really fit in that tiny P/T box.

Looks dumb. The change to collector's number and stuff reminds me of chopped-up old photo reels or average film and honestly I feel it's a step backward. I absolutely hate the stupid holo/foil stamp, part of the reason I don't like ultrapros is because I don't like those little circles...

Frankly it's because as soon as your spell resolves you can fight back in one way or another Mother of Runes Vines of Vastwood Giant Growth Unsummon Goblin bombardment Altar's reap Faith's Shield etc. etc. When your spell gets countered you don't get to do a single other thing, it's just...

Really? Even as a kid it was bizarre to me that white had the big boom, and not black. Black is literally the 'kill things dead' color, so why does white have 'kill all the things'? "white is the color of balance!" was always a dumb answer to me while I stared at my opponent's glorious anthems...

Heliod is worse than white's other 4s; vigilance is meh, a 2/1 for 4 is costly when my drafters already hesitated to make a 1/1 for 3 off Jade mage. Thasa has been good for me, but I have apparently have more blue permanents than the average cube. {1}{U}: Unblockable anything ends games fast...

Blood's a bit more slippery than a grave after all.

Horizon chimera is sweet. Pretty much the curve topper of the {U}{G} tempo archetype; the lifegain can become no joke in cube. Makes every draw spell a variant of sphinx's revelation!

Yeah I mostly ask people what they drafted purposefully / picked highly but ended up cutting from their actual deck, and what they "boarded" and ever brought in. Sometimes people will intend to splash a color and then botch their fixing and can the splash, or side their manic vandal for fire...

I hate getting draining whelk'd / splinter twinned or momentary blinked. So much.
