I donโ€™t follow Pauper closely so this a completely ignorant opinion. Howeverโ€ฆ

It seems to me if they were going to ban High Tide they would do so now rather than wait until 2 weeks before Paupergeddon.

Reading between the lines of Gavinโ€™s non-announcement.

Itโ€™s okay, Psionic Blast. I think you are perfect and never needed fixing.

Universes Beyond and the Meaning of Life โ€” Lucky Paper The typical debate about Universes Beyond's effects on Magic is framed as a matter of market value. But once we start weighing the success of these co-branded products, we've already lost a rigged gam...

โ€œdebating Universes Beyondโ€™s dominance of Magic is like arguing which color of lead paint to slather over asbestos-filled wallsโ€

Wouldnโ€™t this be a more interesting card design if you were forced to choose two?

I'm still thinking about how my pod was very impressed with Black Cat last night. I had two or three ETB triggers, thanks to Unearth, and other shenanigans. She's like Gonti, if Gonti ate his Wheaties, and she's less than a dollar!

Maybe I should speculate every day until the gimmick of Reality Fracture is known. Todayโ€™s guess: lenticular cards that feel no different than regular cards.

The UB conversation everyone should be having is whether it is okay to be de facto growing the Reserved List with all these mechanically-unique cards that need to be licensed before reprinting.

MTG fan creates mind-bending infinite combo that breaks math This infinite Magic: The Gathering combo only works properly if you beat a problem that has stumped mathematicians for hundreds of years.

Simic gonna Simic. I just love that the way to make her go infinite is to proven an unproven theorem. www.wargamer.com/magic-the-ga...

Zimone, All-Questioning
{1}{G}{U}
Legendary Creature โ€” Human Wizard
At the beginning of your end step, if a land entered the battlefield under your control this turn and you control a prime number of lands, create Primo, the Indivisible, a legendary 0/0 green and blue Fractal creature token, then put that many +1/+1 counters on it. (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, and 31 are prime numbers.)

Cool picks! Splice onto Arcane is not trinket text in this cube. Nor is the graveyard hate. With that start maybe hope to wheel one of the many blue cards and look for UR spellslinger payoffs.

Itโ€™s 2027. Wizards announces they will stop printing Magic cards. Mark Rosewater explains: โ€œBy far the number one way our players engage with the game is complaining online. Therefore we will only be releasing pictures of cards and they will all be controversial UB collabs. We must follow the data.โ€
