Milk lasts that long? Whoa. I'm used to about two weeks. I must be buying the wrong milk.
This, and Rofellos, are just trying to prove a point about how they shouldn't be unbanned in commander by making Brawl miserable.
A: No, it won't trigger. While the Raptor's trigger does add mana when it resolves, it's not a mana ability since it's not triggering off of another mana ability. Since the Raptor's trigger isn't a mana ability, the trigger that Tyvar gives it won't trigger and the Raptor won't get any counters.

Q: I control Tyvar the Bellicose and Hulking Raptor. Will the Raptor's trigger resolving during my main phase cause Tyvar to trigger and give the Raptor two +1/+1 counters? #mtg
Per the article, not everything in the Cube is going to be craftable (see the "Collecting Powered Cube Prize Packs And Cards" section), but everything on the Bonus Sheet will be in Cube Prize packs and craftable.
Thanks. Sometimes, you just need to hear it.
This works even if you return Spider-Punk to your hand via web-slinging - you get to cast Spider Sense for cheaper, plus you get Spider-Punk off the battlefield so their spell or ability can be countered.
A: You can cast it just fine. Spider-Punk doesn't prevent you from casting a counter spell, it prevents spells and abilities from being countered. You can cast Spider Sense even with Spider-Punk in play, and as long as Spider-Punk isn't in play when the spell resolves, their spell is countered.
BONUS Day 97 of the CI Backlog:

Q: I have a tapped Spider-Punk in play. Can I still cast Spider-Sense for its web-slinging cost, returning Spider-Punk to my hand, or will Spider-Punk prevent me from casting it? #mtg
Why does it feel like everything is breaking?
Mage Slayer's trigger will always resolve first, dealing 1 damage to the opponent, and if the Master is not blocked, the Master's trigger will reduce your opponent's life total to 1. So this combo won't reduce your opponent to 0 life, since they take 1 damage before their life total is reduced to 1.
A: Probably not what you want. Mage Slayer's trigger resolves during the declare attackers step, but Master of Cruelties' trigger won't trigger until later - during the declare blockers step.
Day 96 of the CI Backlog:

Q: If I attach Mage Slayer to Master of Cruelties and attack with it, what happens? #mtg
I haven't watched it yet, but I have listened to the soundtrack on Spotify. I really enjoy Takedown.

I'd be happier if the Dodgers just didn't make it at all (although those odds seem slim now), but I can also accept losing in the World Series.
World (as in Enchant World, or World Enchantment as they're worded now).
Yes. You can create content that isn't recording or posting a video. There's other forms of engagement.
You could technically play the Gem in any commander deck if you wanted to, it just loses value if you don't have Islands, Swamps, or Mountains to search for.
A: Sure, that's fine. Land type words in the text box don't affect a card's color identity. Even though it tells you to search for an Island, that doesn't make its color identity blue, so the Gem can be played in your black/red Florian commander deck.

Q: Can I play Gem of Becoming in my Florian, Voldaren Scion commander deck? #mtg
