CONTINUED!! Let's start with the cards I'm most seriously considering for my main Cube: Hell yeah. Best friends with recent Cube darlings that I can't stop talking about here like Marauding Mako, Ivora, Insatiable Heir, and Cool but Rude. Red's discarding a lot of cards these days in my...

Jumpstart has now been all spoiled, all 185 new cards! Some interesting cards. I reviewed all of them so you don't have to. (Part 1 of 2) General Thunderbolt Ross is the kind of one-drop I'd really like....a few years ago. It's pretty close to a white Signal Pest that also can attack as a 2/1...

I was on vacation and not using my computer much but I was a little surprised to not see a thread on Reddit for this one. Agreed on the art and on @shamizy's point about how good the Legion Extruder effect is, especially on something that's as hard to deal with as a land. Also agreed on...

I've also been convinced to make this swap even though I dislike the EOE aesthetic and have fond memories with Adeline. Adeline has been troublesome more than a few times before and I'm happy to admit she's not very interesting of a card.

Sheoldred's Edict more or less gets around that issue by preventing tokens from being thrown off, it plays very well in my experience. I think Bone Shards is a cooler card, but this Edict is one of the last removal spells I'd cut from my current list.

ugh, more sick designs today This is what Lorehold should've been doing even more in the Commander decks. There's zero reason it can't be in paper. Ignoring the perpetual ability (which is easy enough to track here, because it tracks separately from the specific card), I love this. I'd...

Made a 41-card change today, but this is really more of ten mini updates in one than such a massive shift based on notes I've been working on for the last month, as opposed to changing a few cards in and out 2-3 times a week as I had been for the month prior. I am already procrastinating too...

The real answer? I just have 720 cards and do bot practice drafts 10x a week minimum. I have an ever-evolving sense for what cards I like and don't like in my list for various archetypes, and message the group regularly about it too. There are about 40 cards that I am aware are not "right" for...

I am a little annoyed how much I love both Bilbos because it means my blue two-drops will be so heavy on one character. Legitimately planning to run the majority of the (EDIT) Hobbit-specific cards spoiled during the preview panel.

I like it but I try to avoid cards that steal from opponents' decks because every draft we have issues where cards don't get back in the proper deck. It plays very well within games. It's a neat card.

Don't forget Witness Protection Sleep Magic Cryoshatter Fresh Start Utter Insignificance I really like Sleep Magic. Honestly, I really like a lot of these!

Another legendary 2/1 for 1! need to update the chart for 2026, I don't think we'll quite get there but this is the third Marvel card that's 1Mv and legendary, which is impressive considering only 18 cards have been leaked or spoiled. I am not happy? I like the choice, but this one has an...

I'm in agreement that the cards seem real and legit. I'll be at Magic Con in Vegas in 10 days and will be able to assess for certain in person there! I actually really like the new Chandra walker. She does a lot without any of her abilities feeing overbearing. She protects herself in a unique...

I run a few of them, and there's 10 with good art. But I think the Ice Age ones (which I would 500% use for the allied pairs) are too hard to read and I probably should include them now.

So now we've got two land cycles which I've always liked completed, and I'm thinking a lot about it. Now, I've never been one who's concerned with having complete cycles in Cube. That said, I do have four complete land cycles in my two-color guilds: ABU duals, Ravnica shocks, fetches, and MKM...

I like it more now than ever. * Makes you feel like a wizard, casting a spell that does a bunch of things * Justifies its 5 mana cost * All modes are wholly relevant, a true rarity on modular spells * Doesn't punish you for keeping up your mana * Doesn't feel unfair or like you got "got" in...

I don't like this set, aesthetically and practically. Why is it yet another five-archetype set? It seems easier to splash in Spiderman than this. Visually, I would honestly rather have Ninja Turtles than this League-of-Legends-meets-Harry-Potter. It's proof that the in-universe sets aren't...

I stand by saying that Vraan, Executioner Thane is one of the most underrated Cube cards of the last few years. Arnyn is great too, and likely will slot into more Cubes, despite the higher MV, but I do need to encourage everyone to consider Vraan as a great value card even if its limitation...

I still like it OK. If you get two 3Mv dudes off it, you're feeling great. I just don't want to sacrifice a gold slot for it. All my ruminating about the card does make me reconsider the very cool Raise the Past, though!

Having the mana available to hit both abilities is really hard, but in a mono red deck just imagine playing a lightning bolt in response to your top decked goblin guide on turn 4 and then doubling both of those. I think the confusion my players will have about the "target creature spell" is...
