@FiniteMTG I voted b) because Pride, while probably a power-outlier, asks something of you and is a neat build around. Everyone having 1-Drops and 1-drop interaction by definition really changes the play pattern.

Guide of lost souls asks very little and is very strong.

@FiniteMTG @Cube_n_Chaos @rexjak I saw that original post and didnt even realize it had anything to do with cube :X

@FiniteMTG @combatblewombat @IslandPonder Thankfully I have mostly pinching related wishes

@luckypaperMtG It took me some time to learn and accept that I can’t know every single card just by art anymore. It took some time accepting that. Change is unpleasant. I don’t think it’s an issue for the game. I have learned to appreciate the idea that there is always something to discover.

@LimitedOppa Put ‘em in a desert cube and watch them struggle :)

@SaffronOlive Against the odds time…

@zoydraft I do not know how uniform your play group is, but the type of magic background of players has a huge influence on what „approachable“ is.

[Jacob Zhao @The_Fish_Jacob]

@mtg_ds Are these better in control or aggro in your estimation? I can imagine myself being down to 13 and happy for an untapped dual

[Jacob Zhao @The_Fish_Jacob]

@LimitedOppa I always read this stuff with my cube designer glasses on. So, yes.

[Jacob Zhao @The_Fish_Jacob]

I value how evocative a design is in addition to what Bones mentioned here. I did not spend enough time on this to make my list definite though.

@GwenDekker P1? For me it’s leafy greens

@zoydraft I feel this

@schwafelhelden Terkol von Buchenbruch. Nach einem Überfall während der g7 und anschließendem Weglaufen war er in unserer Gruppe eine höhere Priorität als Borbarad und seine Schergen. Die benötigten Söldner eine gute Möglichkeit endlich einmal Geld auszugeben

@JafferTTV @Rhycore_ I don’t play commander. Two reasons: 1) It’s a constructed format and I get bored playing the same deck for longer than three hours. Can’t buy a new deck every game night. 2) It is multiplayer. I do not enjoy social dynamics deciding games. Politicking is only a subset of this.

[Jacob Zhao @The_Fish_Jacob]

@matt_grenier Tutor is also pretty clean

[Jacob Zhao @The_Fish_Jacob]

@FiniteMTG @ghirapurigears No. But I’m still voting against it. Not a fun design

[Jacob Zhao @The_Fish_Jacob]

@matt_grenier I was thinking about this when many retail limited sets had the gain lands as common fixing. The crime lands now (after people started complaining more that games are to fast) made me doubt it was intentional.
