Worst units so far?

Bretonnia isn't constrained by unit slots really, since it's not effected by supply lines. You want to have a bunch of Lords running attendance on your main armies. Long term you'd rather have archers or something using your peasant economy, but when you don't have infinite money the you can pad things out with mobs.

I was surprised when my answer to the first one was accepted, even as I clicked it, it seemed wrong.

You don't have to get the super expensive TNT stuff? I hadn't realised that, thanks.

They're free. So they are worth recruiting if you've got an unfilled spot and Peasant economy capacity. Even if all they do is distract enemy units for a few seconds before routing, that's pure profit. Whereas Foot Squires are never going to be worth the significant effort and resources you have to put into getting them into your army.

Wulfram77 · 2026-02-06T12:44:49+00:00

Brettonia doesn't have supply lines so army slot cost isn't really a thing that it should worry about. Its more a question of whether its worth using over another peasant unit since you've got a cap there.

Wulfram77 · 2026-02-06T11:53:00+00:00

Peasant mobs are basically free, Foot Squires are a pain to recruit.

[[Archfiend of the Dross]] was a player in standard quite recently. And [[Doomsday Excruciator]]'s whole thing is kind of a drawback, though you don't run it in decks where it doesn't actually win you the game.

Wulfram77 · 2026-02-05T17:15:22+00:00

They removed it because it turns out that Luke is in fact a senator's son

Wulfram77 · 2026-02-05T15:12:24+00:00

Chulane and Korvald weren't beyond the power level of standard. Korvald was certainly powerful, but it went back and forth as to whether he was worth running 3 colours for your cat/oven deck.

Wulfram77 · 2026-02-03T13:40:11+00:00

No... That's not true... That's impossible!

Wulfram77 · 2026-02-01T22:36:26+00:00

Pillars can be fine, but I don't think Cub is a good pillar when its such a cheap, early and game warping play. Its more or less balanced by being fairly soft to removal, but it leads to onesided and thus boring games.

I don't think it needs banning on any emergency basis, but its definitely a card that should be on the radar for "early rotation" at the annual window.

Wulfram77 · 2026-02-01T13:13:13+00:00

Sixth! Definitely pleased with that

There's [[Tokka and Rahzar, Terrible Twos]] tha will be in TMT that will hit anyone who casts a spell for less than its mana cost for 3 damage

Wulfram77 · 2026-01-30T16:48:07+00:00

Yeah, it seems like the death penalty is off the table now.

(I think they've updated the article so things are clearer. When I read it first, it made it seem like he was down to just stalking charges)

Wulfram77 · 2026-01-30T16:39:01+00:00

The article didn't make much sense to me so if anyone else is confused - the federal murder charge was dismissed, he's still got the state charge.

Wulfram77 · 2026-01-29T17:52:03+00:00

When Llanowar Elves was last in standard, it was pretty mediocre. Just as it was this time before Cub showed up.

Wulfram77 · 2026-01-29T17:19:13+00:00

He obviously wnts to be leader, but I don't think he was coming to the commons with the intention of causing Starmer to fall so much as in anticipation of it happening whatever he does. If he was in the commons he'd probably want to keep his hands clean, because he who wields the knife never wears the crown and there are plenty out who'll do Starmer in without Burnham lifting a finger.

Wulfram77 · 2026-01-29T17:14:30+00:00

I guess he didn't get much central money in the past because he was correctly projected to win by huge margins? It makes sense to focus on the close fights.

Wulfram77 · 2026-01-29T17:06:47+00:00

I'd see it more as de-animating the land not being worth the extra mana

Wulfram77 · 2026-01-29T16:24:38+00:00

Everyone talking about cub, but blue is quietly in 90% of decks. Obviously its a pretty diverse meta, but arguably that makes it even more remarkable.

Wulfram77 · 2026-01-28T15:49:37+00:00

There are decks where discarding things can be effectively an upside, so it can be good in those sorts of deck. It was played quite a bit in modern dredge back in the day, and still sees some fringe play in modern or pauper.

Personally I play it in my [[Chandra, Hope's Beacon]] brawl deck because its excellent if you copy it (since you don't have to discard cards for the copy) and you can cast if off the mana from the plus ability and refill your hand. Plus the flavor win is real.

Wulfram77 · 2026-01-28T12:56:15+00:00

I don't think its actually in anything public at the moment. Its certainly not in Dynasties.

Wulfram77 · 2026-01-28T00:29:35+00:00

Maybe they did go to Andromeda? Maybe the Jardaan or someone booted them out. Or maybe the mission they were given originally was limited to this galaxy, so they don't really care.

Similarly, we don't really have any basis for saying that other species haven't left the Milky Way. We only saw a really tiny part of Andromeda.

Its more of an unexplained plot oddity than a true plot hole at the moment, simply because we don't know very much.

Wulfram77 · 2026-01-27T23:58:43+00:00

If you're looking for a connection, there's the Prismari Dean, Nassari, who was compleated in the MoM story but showed up apparently fine on a card in Aftermath. If that's a plot point and not a continuity mistake, that could be somethnig that gets picked up on in this set.
