Eliminating the sealed slot machine is helpful, at least.

The way my flights were timed I ended up sleeping a lot on the long flights (which was pretty good for dodging jetlag).

I played a bunch of Bloomtown in airports & hotels though - nice little pixel RPG/sim game. Easy to pause at the drop of a hat should I need to pay attention to the world.

Getting rid of the sealed slot machine is a huge win. I don't understand why they couldn't offer Bo1 and Bo3 queues though - seems weird.

Yes! The had it logged as a "nintendo" in their lost & found and not cataloged against any specific flight... but I was able to go in and pick it up before I returned home.

And finally we have an iconic banger in Man-o'-War.

This little guy has spawned 73 copycat creatures through MTG's history - which has to be some sort of record.

I can't imagine NOT having the jellyfish in this Cube - it's just too memorable.

As a lover of grindy attrition decks, I love this design. Paying life instead of mana to recur the Brood is really powerful.

The level 1 use for the card is an infinite chump blocker, but it's really in here for decks that want to sacrifice resources for incremental advantage.

Impulse is a great spell. Full stop.

The ability to dig 4 cards deep makes it a versatile tools to find whatever the situation calls for at a reasonable cost.

Instant speed means that it pairs naturally with interactive cards like Counterspell, giving you something to do regardless.

Yup - the economics of it are super-dumb.

Tho I don't really play any constructed so the packs are mostly irrelevant. Few less gems from opening dups, I guess.
