First things first, the committee would like to apologize for the relative lack of updates to the cube this year. We’re aware and may adjust the schedule moving forward to better accommodate our personal time needs. That said, this update introduces a change to the way that we handle the wording of these updates. In…
Set Mechanics Bargain: This mechanic plays like kicker which requires a sacrifice. At the time you cast a spell with Bargain, an additional benefit is conveyed when you sacrifice an artifact, enchantment, or token.

“Until morale improves the previews WILL continue” – Wizards of the Coast apparently. This one’s pretty nuts folks, let’s get into it. White Phizzled: I have been enamored of for quite a while now.

Omni: I think this is one of the better bears with upside for just turning things sideways. Agree on the toxic being additive distraction. Phizzled: I’m mentally allergic to toxic, just because it’s something…
White Phizzled: I can’t decide which part of the card people like most. If it was a 2/2 flyer for 2W, we’d have plenty of choices. If the win case is getting the 1/1 flyer and a card, remains the gold standard and the only unconditional version. But, even in cube, hitting a plains or…
