![]() With that rule in mind we can expect Minor Misstep to shine in Vintage, Legacy, and Modern. The older and larger formats get, the more efficient they become. Minor Misstep is a new variation on the everywhere-banned Mental Misstep and, like the original, does not care about card type. While people often want to jump on the mythic rare hype trains, which eventually are hits or misses, I want to look at one totally innocuous card. Phyrexia: All Will Be One is right around the corner, and we already got a good chunk of cards previewed. They go for €4, but in the long term I expect them to increase in price slowly but surely. I myself have bought a playset of foil retro Baubles. You can pick up retro sketch versions for as low as €3 apiece! The regular retro version can be found for €2. Because escape does not exile the spell cast, you can turn Breach and Bauble into Treasure Cruise and just refill your hand.īauble used to be very expensive, but now the price has gone down considerably. Most recently players have discovered how powerful of a paring Bauble is with Underworld Breach. ![]() Its main benefits include being an artifact, triggering Ledger Shredder or Dragon's Rage Channeler for free, or being recurred by Emry. Mishra's Bauble specifically is an cross-format staple and a four-of in numerous strategies. The accompanying Commander decks even got us some nonartifact beauties such as Expressive Iteration and Emry, Lurker of the Loch. With The Brothers' War, we got a plethora of artifacts printed into the old frame. I certainly count myself in here as I try to keep all the cards in my deck in their oldest (or oldest-looking) printings. Unlike Blossom, this plays much more defensive as it comes down that much later.Īll in all, I would draft Thopter Pie Network in Cubes 720+, or 360+ for the Holidays.There is a huge segment of the Magic community that absolutely adores retro frames. In a lower powered Cube I don't hate this, but in the vast majority of Cubes I would consider this card pretty unplayable. This card is like a double costed Bitterblossom without the life payment. However, if you run Zedruu the Greathearted, Donate or Harmless Offering than you can make some really disgusting tokens out of food and then give them to your friends. Does a 4 mana enchantment that lets you snack every turn if you're snacking really warrant running? The answer overwhelmingly is no. This narrows somewhat the strength of this card. ![]() So, I make a ruling from on high - no gum! Fat Ass wants you to keep eating to keep him big. But what ultimately tipped the scales was the card itself. In the end, it became clear that the majority of R&D members don't consider gum food and that an even larger group feel gum isn't eaten. Is gum food? Do you "eat" it? Meaty issues. I'm going to grab some rulings from Fat Ass to assist with some of the rulings for the card:Ī: Nope, only chewing, licking, sucking, and swallowing.Ī: You might not believe this, but this question sucked up more R&D time than all the other questions on this list combined. As with Yule Ooze, the power of this card goes up depending on the snack. Today we'll be discussing Thopter Pie Network, a take on Thopter Spy Network from Magic Orgins. Welcome back to my final Cube Card of the Day: Holiday edition. They all thought her dream was just pie in the sky. Whenever a creature token you control dies, if it’s represented by food, eat it.
