The Avatar: The Last Airbender State of the Format Address is here!
Been a really fun format so far, some of the best limited mechanics we’ve had in a while imo! Links below ⬇️
I'll be maintaining the @chordocalls.bsky.social tierlist for TLA! After slacking for Spiderman (which I knew would happen in advance) back to regular updates for this one. Set is looking great so far!

Welp, it’s been a good run as a limited player but I don’t think I’ll ever draft a deck better than this one 😔

30.10.2025 13:45 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0- 1:1 for the OG mox
- cut a spell for diamond
- cut a land for chrome
- I play 16 more often than in normal limited but still stick pretty close to 17 0 cost mana sources. Mono colored decks I almost always play 16.
- I don’t think talismans should affect your land counts
Yeah big agree, think I first caught wind of the “mono W but with birds” strat from some decks you posted actually haha

On the topic of Boros cards, here are a few BUSTED ones that you might not have played with before (or more likely, haven’t even seen)

Green ramp strategies take a substantial hit in power/effectiveness when fast mana like moxen and rituals exist. Why play green when you can ramp in blue? I also think green needs a bit of a power boost in the cube overall, not many premium cards.

Cheap cards are king and it’s tough to go wrong with drafting a nothing that costs more than 3 mana, but it’s also important to know which expensive cards are worth picking highly as well. Your slots for expensive cards are pretty limited but you do want the good ones

Underworld breach and tinker and draw 7 combos are sweet and all, but mono W, mono R and Boros are top tier decks! If you’re totally new to cube, these decks are a great way to get acquainted.

Parallax wave is one of the best cards in the cube. Mostly a W aggro card but not exclusively. Super flexible. Protects your creatures, clears blockers, blinks things, gets rid of problematics threats, generally just way more game warping than it looks

Every time I’ve seen OUaT cast so far, it’s been at the wrong time. If you’re on the draw, you don’t need to cast it at the end of your OP’s turn. Wait till you untap to get more info about what you need.

A powered cube thread with a few tips for those new to this type of cube (will probs add on sporadically)
Don’t pass moxen just because they’re not in your colors, colorless extra land drop is still busted (moxen should also replace a land in your deck)
This format is amazing and I imagine it’ll only get better as they iterate.
Kudos to all those who helped make this happen! VERY excited to make some content for it when get back home next week.
Found a bit of time to get in a powered cube draft, gang’s all here 🫡

If you ever want a good laugh, read the MTGA App Store reviews
29.10.2025 04:18 — 👍 7 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Had a very similar experience! I wasn’t playing either, but when I first started playing I’d just look at card galleries of older sets and lorwyn’s art/mechanics stuck out to me. Did get to draft it a bunch when it flashbacked on MTGO and it’s one of my all time favs now
25.10.2025 12:21 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Remains to be seen what Reality Fracture is all about, but Maro has been hyping some new card printing tech that wasn’t possible before and those sort of things have lead to cool limited innovations the past (the dedicated land slot, planeswalker in every pack etc)

Lesson-learn is in my top 3 limited mechanics of all time, and lessons being in ATLA soft confirms its return. The subversion of what color pairs should do in limited and the focus on sweet instants/sorceries also highlights for me

Evoke and changeling both good limited mechanics and like, these guys are just cool

While I’m not that hyped for any of the 2026 UB sets, got a feeling in my bones that the UW sets will be bangers.
Lorwyn is a sick plane creatively and mechanically, feel similarly about Strixhaven, and there’s some “wow” factor they’re being hush-hush about w/ Reality Fracture
