The drawback is that it makes otherwise good cards look silly. Jadelight Ranger cries in a corner.

These cards look sweet, but I'm actively trying to reduce complexity in my cube and so probably am only interested in The Wanderer 3.0 thus far. Still, I'm hopeful for the rest of the set if this is anything to go by! Urabrask's Forge also looks cool as someone who has always wanted to make...

You say that, but there's also a single copy of Kilnspire District. Between that and Seek Bolas' Counsel, I think it technically is a Planechase cube!

Worse, because artifantment deals severe psychic damage whenever it's read. It's tricky, though. I think that it wouldn't really help things like Goblin Welder which are tied to one or another through flavor but it might help things like Academy Ruins. You could never throw an enchantment into...

Red Dominaria goblins? I feel like making Blue instants or sorceries might be a better fit, which would also free Red up to grab artifacts.

Point of order, I don't think anyone says that playing the sphere on 2 is good, but the fact that you can do that at all and still make progress towards the draw 2 payoff means that it's a lot more forgiving than Hieroglyphics. That flexibility is the upgrade.

Damn. They're really just trying to make UB the Kaito Shizuki section, aren't they? I'm very glad to see more planeswalkers without an ultimate, and this seems to fit the bill. The drone token is miserable for token creep, but it seems very reasonable. The major downside, of course, is that he...

Thanks for the input! I agree that the artifact, soldier, and powerstone synergies do a lot for the card, but it's still crazy just how much the environment pushes up what is otherwise a mediocre card.

Now that we've had some time with this set, has anyone tried bringing Scrapwork Cohort into a not-super-low-powered cube? I'm shocked that it's doing as well as it is in limited and am wondering how big the dropoff in its efficacy is when ported to a somewhat higher-powered environment...

I actually find the polysemous names cute! They also helped me learn the word polysemous, so it's been educational too. Wizards wouldn't do it, but don't let that stop you. As for balance, I mostly agree with Bootman. Other notes: --Match should probably have at least one "basic" on it. As it...

Planeswalkers will be legal as your commander in every format. Vintage, Modern, Standard--hell, even draft, you open a planeswalker, it gets to be your commander. Jokes aside, your guess is as good as mine, but from MaRo's wording it seems big, likely bigger than a new evergreen mechanic...

Nahiri is also our designated equipment planeswalker, so mechanically she seems much better suited to being a phyrexian. Plus, the concept art for her as phyrexian looks siiiick. How could you not use that???

I agree that we need poison/infect/whatever if we're revisiting New Phyrexia, but I'm not exactly hoping to add any creatures with infect/toxic/poisonous to my cube outside of maybe Blightsteel Colossus. That said, Corrupted is probably the best way to tempt me into running just a little...

Pack it in gang, that's Riptide Bingo for spoiler season right there. Jokes aside, set looks neat! I'm glad that we're getting a way to make a little poison work with Corrupted as it means that you don't have to try to shoot the moon to make the mechanic useful. Ten planeswalkers is a lot...

For the combat trick, flying and first strike and indestructible are a weird combination. Usually you're not using the whole enchilada--either first strike is winning combat, indestructible is blocking a removal spell (notably not the black one here), and flying is dealing those last few points...

That's my thinking exactly. If it costs 6 or more, I want it to have some alternative use if you need to do something before T7, especially as I have no ramp in my environment. I also want my topend to work in as many decks as possible instead of running into the MTGO cube problem of having half...

Waker of Waves Realm-Cloaked Giant Colossal Skyturtle I would have thought I had more, but most of my top end sits at MV5 or has a cost-reducing ability. I guess I'm more restrained than I thought, lmao.

They can print double-sided anything!

I run 2 Explore and 1 Edge of Autumn, so I'm in camp "why not both?" If you're trying to make any sort of ramp work with consistency, you want multiples of this type of card, so unless you've already maxed out on Rampant Growth and are just looking for a bit of spice I'd say that a mix might be...

No, sorry! I guess the statute of limitations has passed, as I'd completely forgotten about this thread.
