Thank you so much for this article. I always read your Set (P)reviews too keep track of new cards, as I don't always follow spoiler seasons that closely. But this is the most helpful one yet. Please, keep up the great work!
As the MDFC's have been spoiled, I've fallen a bit between the two major camps it feels, which has made following the discussion and debate very tiring because I both agree and disagree so much with people from both "sides" - the most annoying part being people haven't stuck to debating single cards, but every thread feels like it devolves into discussing the general concept of MDFC's, which hasn't always been very fruitful discussion.
I loved this article, because seeing the different MDFC's ranked and the "cube size" reviews made the whole thing more tangible and clear, at least for me. I very much agree with your rankings of the MDFC's and their relation to other cards. As I mainly run a 360 cube these days, I was wondering how many of the MDFC's I should squeeze in. My plan was to start with the the Red/Green/White Mythics, and the Mammoth. (I would have played the black Mythic if I supported black aggro, but my playgroup was really not jiving with black aggro. I would also run Bala Ged if my environment was powered.) After reading this article, I am a lot more confident that my analysis and plan seems reasonable, so thanks again. I will also reconsider the Black Mythic, though I am not fully convinced on that one in my environment.
