Single Card Discussion

Smirking Spelljacker is the only card to secure anything like a significant share of our 42 respondents. It’s a Voracious Greatshark updated for the era of cowboy hats, yeehaw. If you compare its popularity to the main set, you’ll see that the Spelljacker is about as popular as heaters like… Forlorn Flats and Spinewoods Armadillo.

Perhaps more exciting than OTC’s new cards are the reprints that will surely depress prices of popular Cube cards; check out this Scryfall list for a head start.
