A tricky thing about #mtgcube, and Eternal deckbuilding more generally, is that pet cards don't always play well together.
It's not just "power creep," either. Magic's design ethos has changed so much over 30 years, it might as well be 4 different games:

You mean to tell me that the band I flew 13 hours to go and see, and the band I've been listening to since I was like 12, feature in my top listens along with my Game of the Year (and last year's GotY) OSTs?

Somehow against all odds managed to get two tickets for E33 in Berlin. Sadly we will be sitting separately... had to refresh on two devices (one VPN) and try and line up 12 minute basket times to do it.
Whole experience was garbage, the website didn't work so I got put in the queue late

We made a thing and they wrote about it on Polygon! Very excited to have this out in the world.
I have been dying for a playable out of a pack TCG for about as long as these games have existed and my team really nailed it.

Been thinking a lot about E33s OST winning a lot & hopefully getting to see it live one day
I don't think SB is the same level, but it was OSTotY worthy that year. Feels like if it released AFTER K-Pop Demon Hunters, it would be more loved/known

Iroas has always been a little underrated in the 'zone. But I feel like with all the cool tech from TLA & TLE, he's actually kinda perfect to build an aggressive deck with control elements?

Making good progress with packing stuff.
The benefit of doing "non-essentials" ahead of time is that - despite being something of a minimalist - I've been able to identify even more stuff I just don't need.
Very grateful to have my partner here this week so we can do it together. 🥰

I pegged Azula as being pretty cracked the moment I read it. Seeing it play recently I've been surprised at just how the deck can pop off out of nowhere.
So I asked @nizzahon.bsky.social to share his thoughts.
What do y'all think of her? Is her velocity something to be feared?

The most powerful new ATLA commander is Fire Lord Azula, who may actually just be downright broken. @nizzahon.bsky.social takes a look at some of the most busted things you can do with her, and also discusses whether she should be a Game Changer in the format.

If these had been normal sets not connected to a UB setting they'd fit seamlessly into MtG. As is, they're great MtG sets that happen to be UB. Tell me the world of Avatar is a Plane in the multiverse and I'd be fine with that.
