Testing
Once again I think "the discourse" surrounding this set has blunted any excitement I would normally wish to express about new Magic cards. I debated making a thread for all for this set since I'm not actually sure I'm going to end up playing any of the new cards in my main Cube. However, I think may actually end up being a staple for Unstable Cubicorns. It has great art by Magic legend Zoltan Boros (it's also one of his better recent peices which is a big plus), it has the reminder text for indestructible, and it's a W/B hybrid card, which allows me to get a bit more color diversity in the "not monocolored" portion of the box. Plus, the name "Foot Elite" is just kinda goofy in a way that is very much in dialogue with the Brushwagg/Storm Crow/Goblin Diplomats style cards that have come to play a big role in the box's identity. The only thing I don't like about Foot Elite is that it is strictly better than format pillar Pensive Minotaur. While this isn't necessarily a problem since I already run other strictly or objectively better three drops in the box such as Territorial Hammerskull, Foot Elite would likely be the best body available at three mana, which I don't love. I think there is a 100% chance I am overthinking this choice and it really doesn't matter that much in the long run.
Tl;dr, you beat the foot but it won't go well when you catch an Italian boot to the half-shell.
What are your plans for this set?
