The first result for me there is a facebook post and then a twitter post. it's almost like google results are personalized and they might be slightly different based on whatever file Google has on you at their skynet headquarters and you don't need to be a pedantic prick when someones results aren't exactly the same as yours.

Hellsau posted:Why is Carrier Thrall in the Legacy Cube? That card is not powerful enough to see play in BFZ draft - it definitely doesn't have the power level to match other cards and has very little synergy with anything else I'm seeing.

Irony Be My Shield posted:It looks like they're trying to add an aristocrats theme, but it seems hard to actually find cards that are strong enough to support it. Carrier Thrall seems weird though, even something like Nest Invader would probably be better. Based on her comments I'm assuming they were looking at Red-Black for Aristocrats. And at least Carrier Thrall seems better than High Market

Goblin Bombardment is a bonkers card for mono-R and the rest of the outlets are underwhelming. It's hard to support synergy in a singleton format, though I like the idea of B devotion. You get burned hard if it doesn't come together though.

There's LSV's set review articles on CFB. Those are probably the closest thing to a cliff notes version of the LR set review episode.

Nibble posted:Based on her comments I'm assuming they were looking at Red-Black for Aristocrats. And at least Carrier Thrall seems better than High Market I was about to defend High Market, since gaining life equal to the toughness of a sacrificed creature at no additional mana cost is actually pretty good, but then I remembered that was Diamond Valley and that High Market gains 1 life and is worthless. whydirt posted:Nah the cube changes are good and make Legacy cube more balanced and distinct from Vintage cube. Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Treachery, and the Splinter Twin combo exist alongside Carrier Thrall and a ton of lovely white aggro stuff. Why is Archangel of Thune in the cube if there's no actual combos with it? Do I really want to be playing a 5 mana 3/4 that needs to attack a few times to actually pay me off, while my opponent is reanimating Grave Titan or assembling Pestermite/Splinter Twin, or just burning me the gently caress out before turn 5 even comes? Archangel just seems worse than any of the white four drops. Why not just put in all the Soul Sisters garbage if you're going to put in a terrible white archetype? At least Soul Sisters is fun. The cube is excessively imbalanced - there are good archetypes, and there are horrible ones. I don't think the table can all be on good archetypes, so you need to hope at least one of the people in your pod wants to play White Weenie, hope at least two people force mono-red to cannibalize eachother (unless it's deep enough for two) and then figure out which of Blue Control/Twin/Reanimator/Green Ramp are open for your seat.
