My take on Battle Box, The Danger Room, aims to facilitate a specific style of gameplay: I want the games to feel like each player is piloting an amazing Limited deck that is packed with the most fun to cast spells imaginable. Today’s article is about the cards I’m most excited to play in the format and how I’m changing my stack to make room for Modern Horizons.

“The Danger Room” is my personal Battle Box stack that I update with each release and is the first and oldest Battle Box in the world. Essentially, both players are playing Magic from a deck of pre-selected creatures, artifacts, and spells and have access to equal and balanced mana production each turn. Each player may play one land from exile as their land drop per turn. One of each basic and one of each allied tapped dual land. Instead, players start with 10 lands in exile: It’s kind of like a Cube that you don’t need to draft (but you certainly can!) that doesn’t include lands.

If you’re not familiar with “Battle Box,” it’s worth trying out. So, let’s get to it! What is a Battle Box/Danger Room? With that being said, I love the adventure mechanic and the way it feels a lot like split cards with entwine. I don’t have enough Food Tokens to use Food synergy cards. I don’t have enough Knights to make the “Knights matter” cards work. I’m less interested in making my stack safe for Thrones and more on board with finding the cards that enhance my format.Īnother issue was that there were a ton of sweet cards that have synergy with Throne-specific mechanics. At the end of the day, there were several cards I badly wanted to include but deep down felt they would be annoying to play with or against. Many of the most interesting cards from Throne also felt like the most busted cards.

The goal, at least for me, isn’t to arbitrarily jam my Battle Box full of broken cards, but to find the best mix of fun, balanced, and diverse cards to create the best possible gameplay.

The reason for the difficulty with Throne was I felt caught between a rock and a hard place with many of the new cards in the sense that I loved the flavor and unique designs but worried the cards were too power creepy to play nice in my stack. In fact, I think it was the most difficult of all time. Throne of Eldraine was one of the most difficult sets I’ve ever reviewed. As fans of the Battle Box format probably already know, I go through this process for each new release and swap out old cards for new ones.
