If I can offer one piece of advice to a would-be group hug player, its to ditch all the Howling Mines and Heartbeat of Springs and play effects that give you agency over your own cards and who you help at any given time
With Ixalan block having a big focus on cards that transform into lands, and those lands having awesome abilities, I think most people are aware of how good Field of Ruin actually is
With cards like Torch of Defiance now available this thing shouldn't really even be in most cubes any more
It doesnt just have to be combat damage dealt to a player, it is any form of combat damage, which means youll be slamming a ton of dice onto the battlefield whenever you block or attack into creatures like its no tomorrow
A clean grade on the right card can lift its value sharply, but as you can probably guess, grading costs money per card and can take weeks or months, and a low grade can leave you worse off than selling raw
