Thanks to all the folks out there for bearing with us while we got this behemoth of a Quick Hits out for y’all. White Omniczech – I know we JUST cut something loosely in this same shape, but I like that this has evasion, as my main complaint with this style of creature has been…
Welcome one and all to the Spring 2024 update. We’ll be going through all sets released since the last update. The committee is still working out what we want the update schedule to look like moving into the future, but we will keep the community updated when we make a decision. Color Adds Cuts…
White Neveron: There are plenty of “one mana creature that gets bigger with set mechanic” cards in white. , , , . Boros Elite is one of the easiest to turn on, though, and relatively trivial to swing with as a 3/3 on turn 3. Perhaps even turn two, with . It’s good, basically… and…
Mechanics Transforming Double Faced Cards – A returning mechanic, certain permanent cards have a castable front, and include an activated or triggered ability that causes the front face to transform into some other permanent.

I don’t think it’s a perfect answer, but like and , it offers future proofing for many questions the Cube could…
Black Omni: We’ve run similar versions of this in blue, and it’s done just fine there, and black has more things that care about the excess bodies. I do wish this was a + a 1/1 rather than a 1/1 in the air and a 2/2 token, but it seems fine enough Neveron: It fills…
We’re back already, we’ve got a new set that truly does ask “how many words can you fit on a magic card?” and there’s some surprising cards showing up! Let’s see what the finale of the Phyrexian Invasion (part 2) has in store for the wonderful world of common. White Neveron: A bigger, meaner is…
