Meaningfully. That second point of toughness on Goblin Guide goes a long way. My experience with Isamaru, Hound of Konda is that it gets made useless by tokens and 1/Xs much less frequently. The haste really does help -- it gets an extra 1+ damage on average over the course of a game because...

Yeah, even if these are like 50% slush art from Duskmourn and New Capenna, these are generally a big improvement in terms of flavor. Like with the Arena-only pieces, the quality of art is a little looser than what usually makes it into a psychical booster pack, but there are some inspired...

I expected it to go live with their daily refresh of the mothership alongside Mark's article, but I can't find anything. They've said the card gallery will go up today, so I guess we're just waiting.

I think it's really important to note the distinction in the two cards: Iron Spider is a powerful card even outside of the counters decks, and is maybe too powerful for many Cubes around here. The Vigilance is the real thing -- it will almost always attack as at least a 3/4 for 3 colorless, and...

As someone who primarily plays retail limited, dislikes Spider-Man, and likes Magic as a game of fantasy, I hate this set. As a Cube curator, I am thrilled for these mechanical pieces for my Cube. Favorites Iron Spider, Stark Upgrade Hobgoblin, Mantled Marauder Heroes' Hangout Iron Spider is...

He's always been a favorite, but I think he's the most compelling planeswalker in 2025. Certainly the most important card in Izzet for me! Artifacts play a pretty big role in my Cube to the point that it's never a dead ability, even if YMMV. The key is really the draw two, discard two, which an...

My Cube is my Zen Garden. My unending reach for perfection means I thrive by trying out all new technology. I love new cards. I love spoiler season. Hell, I even love UB: I think that the build-in storylines and love for the IP make for more interesting designs on average than we'd get starting...

I feel like I'm amongst the most positive about this set from a design POV but I really do feel this sentiment in my bones. This morning I wanted to look at the last 4 spoilers and I saw this and felt a pit in my stomach: It's an ideal card for my Cube. I really, really like the design...

If you could change your opponents' dudes, I'd certainly be playing the card! Looks like they've spoiled all the rares/mythics and there's only 4 cards left. It really does feel like a small set, but I seem to have a surprisingly large amount of cards I'm interested in, which is annoying...

I liked Talon Gates of Madara for being a land able to ramp into itself but found the card too narrow. This lets you do the same thing for just two mana, and returning a creature to your hand is often going to feel like an upside rather than otherwise. The fact that the card needs to be tapped...

Hop to It Aerith Rescue Mission Cloudgoat Ranger Cloudgoat Ranger gives you a 3/3 you can make into a dragon in addition to the 3 1/1s! Pretty comparable to Elspeth, and that was a change I looked to make back in the day.

You couldn't be more right, maybe my favorite card of the set so far. I really like how you get until the end of your next turn, so it really does compare reasonably well with Opera Love Song (but I will be playing both for sure). The Patrol Night ability might only be used 10-20% of the time...

looks like a trap, and one that my drafters will fall into ...will test I love being singleton (with my one exception) and I have a big Cube. So I'll take a 4th Terramorphic Expanse. I wonder how many of these I'd run? Probably 7, so 1 in 100 cards? I think this is really good. Way too...

The Infinity symbol being missing is a huge loss to the card's coolness factor. But I think the Terminus looks cool (very Helvault-adjacent), and I'm fully expecting them to build out the lore of them. I totally get your complaint more broadly, but I think it's fine here. I got really excited...

I'm down to 16 out of 720 cards, or 2.2% of my list. I was at ~40 out of 540 at one point (7.4%), and games regularly revolved around them as they were also the best cards in my Cube without question. My players complained. I had two anti-Walker diehards who advocated for their complete...

Sorry to double-post, but we got a few of our first Through the Omenpaths versions and I hope they eventually upload a really high-res version, because I'm much happier with this than the Soul Stone: I would pay [2] for a colorless instant that copied any activated or triggered ability in...

I am so desperately in need of a Universes Within edition of this art, goodness. Usually this effect costs five mana. There are some greats out there for Cubes like Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer, Lumbering Worldwagon, and Beanstalk Giant. It's not a "necessary" ability to have represented in your...

I want to say "good" because I love spoiler season and EOE is such a far cry from the wonder of FIN, but this pace is rough even for me.

I used to have a sweet 60-card multiplayer deck (back when this was a thing) centered around Confusion in the Ranks and then playing that Bombshell, Glitterfang, Viashino Sandscout, or Viashino Sandstalker to steal my opponent's creatures repeatedly, and occasionally throwing down my one-of Grip...

I'm running the standard versions of 4 of them now, and it doesn't feel like it's enough to make it clear to my players what's happening, so we've had mistakes. I think it was a massive design failure on WotC's part, but I still like the modality and the specific cards a lot. Is it enough to...
