White Omniczech: I do like that this thing is a big old brick that does something pretty close to when it ETBs if you have board presence the turn it comes down. I’m not sure it fully passes the smell test for me though. Solset: I want to like this card as it has synergy…

DSK Quick Hits
First off, a small apology for the delay in the quick hits, in general we’ve been slow on this one as Duskmourn was hot off the back of our Modern Horizons 3 and Bloomburrow update, featuring arguably the most impactful set in years for a variety of formats, we have Duskmourn, which has… Personality?

Bloomburrow Quick Hits
White Omniczech: We’ve had access to Oblivion ring at common for ages, now we get the version with “fixed” text. I can’t wait to hear out opinions on this one. Solset: I think I am ok moving the curve up a bit fit for flexibility. With us having three 2 mana options that hit artifacts…
MH3 Quick Hits
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…

“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. I don’t think it’s a perfect answer, but like and , it offers future proofing for many questions the Cube could…
LTR Quick Hits
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…
March of the Machine Quick Hits
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…
