My only real thought around trying to reduce spiking in an "open" format (i.e. not cube or battle box etc.) would be to maybe have some concept of forced rotation. Oh you're playing a bunch of expensive powerful cards? They're now banned or restricted! To encourage constant brewing. Maybe the...

One of my holy grails is to figure out how to make an "organized" kitchen table format that's easy to get people into. I would love to play constructed in a way that doesn't encourage just buying the best cards. I guess maybe one of the other singleton formats that isn't EDH?

I understand why it's a popular format but I don't really like commander either, it's a very different game from regular magic, kind of how Defence of the Ancients and Warcraft 3 are very different games

Extortionist and Jeweled Lotus will come down in price a lot now presumably, but I wonder if mana crypt will be affected

I'm naming my cube this

Ok I feel pretty sold on it. Currently brewing a "mean cube" with cards like Upheaval and Armageddon so I don't mind high ceiling, and I'm trying to keep the power level of creatures somewhat tamed.

psychatog Can someone sell me on this card. What's the play pattern with it? Mill yourself a lot, try to do a one-turn-kill by emptying your hand and graveyard?

The color pie continues to bend! (I think this is good. Interaction should be possible for all colors)

That seems like a sweet madness enabler to me

I think maybe it's just a little to finicky? It's a complete do-nothing card until you've either played a token or somehow both filled and then removed a card from your graveyard. Compare that with just playing rampant growth and other ramp into some big fatty like spiritmonger. Of course, it...

Fair enough! Probably better to just trade it with some EDH player. It did feel pretty gross when I played it, so good to get talked out of putting it in a cube

Consecrated Sphinx I got to play this in a double masters 2022 draft. It's obviously very good. At what power level is this fair in a cube? It's an iconic cars but I feel it can easily run away with games, but maybe that's ok for a 6 drop

The juice is loose!

This can act as a cute "kicker" to any kind of weenie-renimationer, where you first reanimate this guy and then use it's ability to reanimate something big.

It's also an artifact which I think can be relevant in red

Eh, the lands read the exact same way to me?

Hey! They (sort-of) color shifted Kor Skyfisher

Huhh... I really wonder how these will play? It seems really counterintuitive, if a player has 13 or less life surely we're in the mid- to late-game, and at that point it doesn't matter as much if a land enters untapped?

Damn, this feels like it will become a staple in at least some formats burn decks? Imagine trying to brainstorm into this guy

Maybe this has been discussed already, but I feel like the average creature size in bloomburrow is bigger than usual? Not sure I'm a fan, for limited, seems like it compresses the games to fewer rounds.
