5DN rocks. There's just so much in there that you can do all kinds of things with! Between Scry being an open-ended mechanic and being a third set from an artifact block, they just threw all kinds of weird stuff in there. The original nongreen ramp crime duo, good on their own and by design a...

Relevant to this thread, the CI tag has functionality that I'm pretty sure it didn't have several months back: |TESoltari Trooper |TESoltari Trooper (edit: but good luck getting this to work if you want to swap between images in the same post, I'm pretty sure the way it works is "first instance...

Set's got some goodies for me. As a big FF fan I don't mind them being UB... but, you know. No clue how I'll feel about Avatar. Except I already forgot Spider-Man, so I meant that. These are all at least maybes, though I'm sure at most half will stick. I'm trying out a historic theme, so grain...

oh also they changed the rules on Sagas: Probably not super-relevant for your cube, but the new dream to live is Urza's Saga, let it tick up once to Chapter II, then play Blood Moon - Moon makes it a Mountain, so it stops accumulating counters, but Saga's chapter 2 trigger gives the land an...

Honestly, the Saga text is an additive distraction on this, I really like it as just a rummager! She'll do fun stuff in retail draft, I'm sure, but I'm all about that first ability in Cubes. edit: I have been informed that Urza's Saga is a Saga, a Land, and has MV 0. So uh. She can do that too...

He's not even! He's just walking through a swamp! His feet could literally be on the ground!

Kaervek, the Spiteful my thought process was literally "let's have some fun, this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your blisterstick" -> sickness -> Engineered Plague -> Night of Souls' Betrayal and here we are because why would you ever want an enchantment when you can have a 3/2?!

I read that as Yidaro style and was I excited for some new modal card I hadn't seen before :(

It really doesn't! Real Crovax, Ascendent Hero situation. here is the secret: Contraband Kingpin (it is much less good, but that fourth point of toughness is SO high that it and Golbez can be "survives removal" buddies!)

Linvala, Keeper of Silence She doesn't care that damage used to stack!

Oh, turns out I deleted the sentence about how customs is the only way out of it... but rest assured, I was miles ahead of you (not even first time drafters, I'd absolutely lose to custom morphs multiple times and be like "OH WELL", I'm a clown)

They did it. They made a card about collecting cards. -> also more Tiered

I suppose they do have modes, even if all the modes are "land". I guess I can let it slide. This time. But I got my eye on you, scryfall team. Or maybe MaRo. That guy needs more oversight anyway.

I started bottom-up so Unholy Grotto/Unholy Grotto made me groan but then Swamp/Swamp made me do an infomercial-style "there's got to be a better way!"

Those are both true (though the latter was harder in 2010 than it is in 2025 obviously) - but specifically Morph has a way higher supply problem. You can find an Abzan Devotee for every power level (and then some!) But even if you let Disguise's ward coexist with regular Morph/Megamorph, your...

Scryfall's got some weird tags and also some standard behavior. You can do is:dfc t:land to get DFCs that are land on either face. That'll also include the Barkchannel Pathway cycle... as well as every Secret Lair that had a land version of those weird cards with not-Magic backs (like this...

Exactly! If it was just on your turn it'd just be worded like Showdown of the Skalds, but this doesn't say anything about your turns, only "turns when a counter was added"... edit: not even, Skalds let you play instants the whole time, but you get what I mean.

Split a box of Legions with my best friend when we were 12, there's a reason it was the best-selling set of all time literally until Zendikar. Also, never going to put anything from it in my cube, because the power level is not there on morph in 2025. Gempalm Incinerator is like, the only thing...

I like the design of ability 1 here - it probably won't come up in a cube basically ever, since you'd need instant-speed proliferation, but the set itself has some stuff that messes with specifically lore counters, even if no instants yet, so I bet there'll be one (can't reprint Storyweave, but...

While neither is still in my cube, my two favorite Gatecrash cards taste great together even if they actually don't synergize beyond the norm: Burning-Tree Emissary + Ghor-Clan Rampager SET STORY: a week after GTC came out, we did a 3v3, winners split the cards as usual. it gets to prize time...
