I posted this in the Arena thread but the people in here might find it useful too:

Used https://mtgadraft.herokuapp.com tonight to play through 2 full drafts of Historic Peasant Cube on Arena. Sat on Google Hangouts to chat while drafting.

Site’s very easy to use, saw it on Going Optimal. Loaded the list, set it to have 4 bots, drafted, exported to Arena and played the games with direct challenge. We drafted twice and played 6 rounds in a little over 3 hours.

The games were sweet, I made UR Spells the first time and WB Removal Vampires the second time. The power level on the decks was high and the opened packs were stacked because you really collect up a lot of good uncommons when you pull from like 10 sets.

I highly recommend it under quarantine. You can also do regular set drafts with your collection loaded in so that you guarantee you won’t need to spend wildcards to build deck you draft.

this is rad, thanks for sharing

will check it out, but a bunch of my friends who like to cube don't have much of a collection on arena to speak of, so might take a bit before I can get enough people on board

I must know your secrets.

That sounds really cool.

So help me understand something:

My opponent casts Warbriar's Blessing (aura, +0/+2, ETB fight) on his 3/3 to make it a 3/5 and fight my 3/3. Thinking I'm a Clever Dan who can flip this as an even 2-for-2, I flicker the enchantment after the fight resolves thinking the marked damage should kill it. Sure enough the UI shows it at -0 toughness, then puts the enchantment back on and his critter is fine. Am I stupid, or should it have died as a state based effect?

Others have explained how this particular event played out, but that aside I would've flickered the creature being aura'd in this situation in order to nullify their aura. This way it's still an even trade, but you're not down a creature.

If it had gone how I wanted I could have Escaped the creature on my turn which had an ETB that would force him to sac his other creature.

Secret Lair April Fool's. I think this is real... seems they're not printing it yet, but will give them to WPN stores at no cost to use how they want sometime after the pandemic is over. That Goblin Snowman does look pretty dope, I have to admit.

It'd require a rules change in Commander because there's no sideboard there.

more realistically it's probably these cards plus a bonus card or two that makes it more worth the price.

the secret lair is real, the lead time on getting cards printed is tremendous and they started pulling it together in 2019. my guess is at this point they were like poo poo, cards are printed, might as well push them out the door.

they printed a new card with the Storm mechanic directly into modern last year. they still use the mechanic, they just don't use it in standard legal products.

Bargain is a neat mechanic in Eternal, and I think requiring you to do something in order to get the effect is better than just getting cards for free if you meet the deckbuilding conditions.
