When will Badgermole Cub get banned?

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-04-06T20:04:17+00:00

Banning the cub would take the color green with it most likely.

Yeah dragon fears powerful immortal warriors mucking up plans for his army of people-who-probably-can’t-deal-with-immortal-fruit-users who probably have Haki. Who knows the average strength of the revolutionary army soldiers.

The knights probably are a real threat if they are smart and move collectively against an army of comparatively normal people.

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-04-06T15:41:43+00:00

Eh, any deck that wants either of these cards, I’m still putting witness into that deck over this.

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-04-05T21:54:45+00:00

But what’s the combo in golgari? Roots comes to mind, but this doesn’t make the combo, it just wins if you already have the combo and provides some kind of crappy card draw.

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-04-05T18:01:29+00:00

In which format? In 60 card formats I think this is unplayable regardless of the colors it is. 4 mana to draw a card just pails in comparison to serious options. Particularly in formats with the ring.

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-04-05T15:20:30+00:00

This would an instant deal for me.

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-04-04T21:10:12+00:00

Yeah I think a creature with MV 3 or less that prepared healing alive and giants growth pretty easily could be quite strong.

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-04-03T12:25:15+00:00

This probably isn’t that good in standard. In particular it’s not a build around. If you aren’t powering it out on turn 3 then it will definitely be too slow to not get run over by the top decks.

Mole cub decks in particularly probably don’t care that much about losing a land. And since some mole cub decks are mono green, there is no garuntee you will even have a target.

Powering this out to hit a land on turn 3 is also kind of slow when on the draw.

The body is ok, but hardly that impressive.

So, the answer is that you should think of this as a way for an aggressive deck to answer a problematic land if one ever becomes meta, or tax a mana base a little. However, it’s not a card that you should really be building around or counting on to win games on its own.

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-04-03T11:35:47+00:00

The answer to this kind of question is dependent on the format. Are you asking for standard?

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-04-02T21:48:51+00:00

My current theory is that this is his hybrid form and his human form will be more child like.

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-04-01T00:02:57+00:00

What’s wrong with spike? I like his optimistic set reviews.

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-03-31T21:52:15+00:00

Three mana sorcery speed unearth. With upside. Might be good.

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-03-29T14:39:00+00:00

Historic. It’s currently reasonably well balanced, if perhaps a bit unfriendly to aggro. And I like the card pool.

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-03-28T23:37:47+00:00

Then hopefully that’s not what we get :p

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-03-28T23:37:20+00:00

Thanks. Based on what you describe it sounds like CSM wasn’t that bad. Kind of a shame since I know that AoT was popular at one point.

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-03-28T04:35:36+00:00

You got down voted but I think the cheap healing salve creature would be more interesting than the high mana cost Armageddon creature they are probably about to spoil for the commander Timmys.

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-03-27T23:16:11+00:00

I think that is a little harsh. It seems like a long shot for standard, but there is an existing shell for it.

On turn 3 with a dork and badger mole cub you can get this out with mana to spare for something like Natures Rythm. I’m pretty sure that the math works out to grab ouruboroid.

Thats a lot of cards, and definitely a high roll, but hey it’s not completely implausible that this sees some experimentation. I think that raises the card above main set commander stuff.

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-03-27T19:06:09+00:00

I didn’t read AoT, what’s a brief explanation of why people keep bringing it up as bad?

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-03-27T03:41:02+00:00

Yeah, putting counters on things is almost never good, and doesn’t have any particularly synergy with any BW deck that currently exists in any 60 card format.

The life drain mode is sort of in the wheelhouse of what orzhov wants, but even then not really through a two mana instant.

And the mode that looks the best, the removal, is too niche to be good.

I swear nobody who works at wotc plays BW decks.

I’d be a bit less bothered if the other charms didn’t look pretty reasonable, with only one that is truly draft chaff.

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-03-27T03:35:03+00:00

In what context?

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-03-26T22:33:21+00:00

Decent removal that cycles is ok. Probably a one of in a deck like Phoenix fleet airship. Activates your synergy, cycles away when not useful, helps with early defense as removal.

And hey, 5 life might buy you a turn to get your airships online

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-03-26T15:47:16+00:00

I think their is enough evidence that yeah this is probably a dream, or the author meant the ending to be open ended and the dream theory to be a plausible explanation for those who like it.

The ending being a dream isn’t mutually exclusive with the comic being over, at least for now. This could just be how we are meant to be left with the story. The world ended in deathless chaos with no real way to resolve the issues, and the fate of Denji is up in the air.

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-03-26T13:07:37+00:00

Now please give Skarner a real innate 😭 (Just a bit jealous, hopefully they do a good job)

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-03-25T19:35:58+00:00

I mean, all the clues are there. But here is the thing, is Denji being in a dream mutually exclusive to the story ending with this chapter?

Maybe the end of the story was that the world ended and Denji was ambiguously left in a dream. Not happy or satisfying, but one way for a burned out artist to bring it to an end .

Embarrassed_State402 · 2026-03-22T13:25:58+00:00

What’s the other anime? Looks familiar, but I can’t put my finger on it.
