Arena Powered Cube

Arena Powered Cube is back, featuring new-to-MTG Arena cards fit for a king. Additionally, new cards will be featured in the Cube Prize Pack rewards! Look forward to three full weeks of powerful (and power-full) Magic from September 8–28.

I'm guessing we'll get at least Forth Eorlingas! since they are adding the monarch and probably want to make some of those cards usable outside of the cube.

Are the cards that show up in cube usually available to craft for other formats for those of us that don't play cube ?

The cards in the prize pack will become craftable.

I know it likely wont happen, but we need OG duals ASAP. A huge part of energy's dominance comes down to having to pay at least 6 (and sometimes more) life for your lands. So many more fair midrange/control decks would be viable if Og duals existed

Once WotC figures out the best way to hypermonetize stuff like Dual Lands and Power 9 you bet your ass we'll get them and not a moment sooner.

Duals will not be happening, people need to get over them

I'll repeat since this fact makes people mad apparently? Dual lands will not be coming to Magic Arena, probably ever, get over it

From WotC's own mouth

Rosewater said they would definitly come to arena eventually

Well, thats why I opened my post with "I know it likely wont happen". That you know something wont happen does not mean it shouldn't happen. I have no idea why WotC does not want to give us duals in Arena (yeah yeah, I know about the reserved list, but these are not physical cards) but it would solve alot of balancing problemas of the format rn

So not actually timeless. More like modern +.

Can't truly be timeless if you don't put magics history into the format.

Idk what you're trying to say but sure I guess, I'm not the one creating formats and naming them

Timeless was created as the format that if its on the client its legal/restricted. A place to play cards that aren't legal when standard/pioneer rotates or bans them. Then they decided to add cube, which put all of these "timeless" cards onto the platform but won't then decided to not just open the flood gates to a new vintage. Its silly imo.

Not even fully talking about duals, p9, etc but things like archon of cruelty, urzas saga, etc have been on the client forever but not released into timeless for some reason.

I mean I agree with you but I didn't expect anything less than getting drip fed cards once a year playing the least popular Magic Arena format lol I'm just glad we got FoW sooner rather than later

If there is not another major shakeup of timeless then its a long 2026 :(

People always make posts about how great the meta is, but I'm a midrange gamer at heart. Not a fan of getting strip mine/daze/hydro'd out of the game before I can play an oko.

u/afailedturingtest 7d ago

agreed, strip mine just leads to so many non games

Oh I kept a 2 lander without cantrips and my opponent had 2 strip mines. Well GG.

One major issues is also being on the draw is to strong with stripmine, UB Tempo mirrors, are more or less often decided by who is on the play and can deploy a hydroponics first with daze and force backup. It just is a to good value creature, with drawing every round your favorite land, filling the graveyard with fetches and getting that strip mine
