As an owner of an artifact cube this set has me hyped...
Full art lands... all lands should be like this!!
Urza - kinda predicted an “Origins” transform mechanic but Meld makes much sense. Especially with that tiny rules text.
He is really powerful though. I like doing +4, dump your hand, then ultimate next turn.
He also curves nicely into the Mightstone and Wakstone, and then meld on the 5th turn.
Mishra’s Foundry is a bit meh... is this a rare? I think it can pass off as an uncommon. Let’s see.. perhaps we will get a lot of Assembly worker tribal.
That Kayla is one value engine.
Recruitment officer is one great card for Cube.
Schematic showcase is nice, but we got borderless schematics in SL, so I was hoping for that.
Was expecting more new artifacts for an artifact set but I guess they reserved it for the main preview season...
Things I expect from this preview:
- the other 4 painslands
- maybe Ashnod/Tawnos/Gix
- Teferi art
- promos
- people to pretend the entire month of October is constant Brothers' War spoiler season despite around 3-4 weeks of absolutely nothing after this
Probably will mention a tease about Urza and Mishra, but I don’t expect the full cards.
If prereleae is on Nov 11 ad assuming a 3 week spoiler season then it would probably start 2 weeks from now.
Anyway the details will not matter because I am so hyped about this set...
A viable draft option is to seed every pack an attraction and you get the attraction as the “0th pick” much like stickers. Overall this is equivalent to just getting 3 random attractions. Or you can draft it according to rules. You will probably get the attractions as last/late picks anyway.
I have a soft rule against card text beyond 1 card face (DFCs, Monarch, Day/Night and Dungeons). So even if it works it is a pass for me.
Not at all familiar with Warhammer, but I like Imotekh better than the commander (through they work well together). And this is because I like black having more interactions with artifacts for my artifact cube. Gonna still buy singles though.
Again, great article! This sounds like pandering, but this is literally the best part of rumor season for me!
In slam dunks, We get our 1cc 2/1, this time in black. Not too powerful, but uncommon is gentle to the wallet (looking at you Ragavan). Wish it had better art though.
Sleeper is good. Im a fan of 1 drops that can have impact even in the late game. Not a priority, but will try to get one if available.
Not a fan of Serra Paragon. The value is not immediate and recursion is not possible. Does not make that competitive 4cc slot for me.
(Does Rabblemaster Math) Squee is an in for me. 3 haste is great. May replace Krenko.
Aether Channeler is an upgrade from
Barrin. Tempo, token, or mulldrifter/2 is so blinkable.
Overall a real good set for cube.
Perhaps because The set does not have those limited linear mechanics.
Sad news for sure. Normally the internet is a messy, uncivilized place, but mtgsalvation has been my haven for people talking about the game they love.
Good luck on your next adventure and thanks for the years of fun.

Cube.
So 2 of these is can get as large as many counters you can have?
I have a soft rule against card text beyond 1 card face (DFCs, Monarch, Day/Night and Dungeons). So even if it works it is a pass for me.
Downside really is vehicles occupy the same space as equipment. There are a lot of better equipment support in cube.
Overall will try if I can easily get my hands on the card.
Barbed Spike
Fairgrounds Patrol
Sweep the Skies
Teibute Mage
A few from the Saheeli C18
Saheeli herself
Retrofitter Foundry
Saheeli’s Directive
MH2
Ornithopter of Paradise
Ragavan
War of the Spark
Saheeli and Dovin Cards
Others
Thopter Assembly (Elves vs Inventors)
Mind Rot (M21)
Aether Vial (Double Masters 2)
Collective Voyage (SLD)

+ Aether Channeler
+ Cult Conscript
+ Squee, Dubious Monarch
Domain support of course but also Helps pauper domain/zoo.
I recently removed green from my artifact cube. This is the path for ir to possibly return. Perhaps in Brother’s War.
