Well.. Let's face it... It's all MG3 and one Bloomburrow card. Only a 40 card swing in the end but I could easily see this becoming 50 in the coming weeks.
Big support for +1/+1 counters and graveyard synergies - Excited to see how this goes!
Prior to the major updates coming in MH3, it was time for a major catch up!
No major archetype changes but some new support coming for Tokens, Flyers, Spells-Matter, Graveyard-Matter and Enchantments archetypes. Return of a few cards previously removed including Opt and Blastoderm.
Cards removed are mostly power-crept or making way for a reanimator support package and streamlining the current archetypes.
Bring on MH3 !
So after two Drafts of the cube and playing LOTR in both constructed and limited, it became abundantly clear the power of the one mana cylers so in they go!
Well... Despite my love for LOTR and the cross-over as a whole, I couldn't find space for more than two new additions! The Ring-Bearer mechanic competes with the Initiative and Monarch which are more interactive, and the power level of the set was low. I have hoarded foils for future changes of heart but only two upgrades for red this time around.
The Cube has been updated ahead of some events in the Summer, with MoM coming through with more upgrades than ONE. Highlights for the +1/+1 counter archetype, some more efficient removal and alternative threats added! Trimming some niche archetypal cards and those out-classed nowadays by power creep.
