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…
This update is a very large one and features a huge change to The Pauper Cube moving forward. With this update we’re expanding the list to be 450 cards total. This decision was not a spur of the moment one, but generally cards in the cube are well liked by the community and the committee…
White Solset: Toxic can be distracting here, but for aggro, duelist can swing confidently against most colors for quite a while. 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…
A quick note to start things off, we’re going to have off color kicker cards in the gold section. We’ve talked at length about these as “not really gold cards” on the discord at length, but this is a question of convenience. White Omniczech: Loosely comparable to , this is a neat option, I know…
White Omniczech: well the trend of 3 mana 2 power white cards that draw has found its ultimate variation for now. While this is definitely limited in what it can get, the body is nicer and I expect this will be well enough liked. Neveron: In the Baldur’s Gate review, I wrote that they kept…
Omniczech: We’ve pulled these out as they’re a class of card that is a very large power level anomaly the likes of which we haven’t seen since Conspiracy 2, a set I can barely believe is six years old. The initiative is reminiscent of the monarchy but with a slightly more aggressive, board impacting effect,…
Just in time for Commander Legends 2: Electric Boogaloo, we’ve got an update for Streets of New Capenna! Color In Out New Cards White was an instant hit with the community, and it’s not hard to see why. With Priest of Ancient Lore in the cube already, this is just a better card. Riftwatcher represents…
Mechanics Connive – When a trigger occurs, draw a card, discard a card, and put a +1/+1 counter on the creature with connive. We only get the counter if a non-land card is discarded. Casualty – As a spell is cast, if you sacrifice creature with power greater than the casualty cost to copy the…
One last set to slam in the mega update Mechanics Channel – Cycling’s weird cousin is back! And it rules this time! Every card with this on it is functionally a split card with an uncounterable mode as the second functional option. Ninjutsu – Another classic, Ninjutsu was always coming back when we returned to Kamigawa….
