I think it'd be broken with the original Companion rule, but I don't think most Constructed decks would be interested in what it has to offer with the {3} tax to put it into your hand? It doesn't have a really powerful effect like Lurrus or Yorion, the list of good pitch spells that you can...

How out of place would this classic be in your cube? Emeria, the Sky Ruin

Safewright Quest Flower // Flourish

I know you're probably looking for a red card, but... Elemental Masterpiece Creative Outburst Magma Opus One of those. EDIT: You could also try out a split card? There might be too much additive distraction there, though. Boom//Bust Fast // Furious Cut // Ribbons

You could probably get away with letting Horizonizer grab a Plains or Forest.

Tend to the Kiln This thing is wordy as hell, but I like the idea? I don't think it's good enough to be a self-contained Elemental payoff, but "all of your instants and sorceries are also Elementals" is pretty cool. Aquatic Subtlety This, on the other hand, feels like the kind of spell you...

It actually makes flying 2/2s since it's based off of Ornithopter the card. Which I think is more mechanically interesting (since killing it solves the problem instead of just stemming the bleeding), but which might be a bit confusing the first few times. To be fair, part of the reason why...

"No proxies" feels really weird to me because you're going to have complete strangers drafting your cube, which is a process that involves directly (man)handling the cards. That just seems like a recipe for disaster.

I had "new Evoke creatures" on my list of desired things from the set from the moment it was announced, and having it only show up on five mythics is honestly pretty annoying. I'm also kinda bummed that the only nod to Conspire (which is a really cool mechanic that's held back by only being on...

I think the main challenge for conjuring is that conjured cards being cards adds extra logistical problems that tokens don't have. I think you'd have to be careful not to stick something like Mine Security in a format that includes flickering or recursion, because then you run into the problem...

As someone who used to play Hearthstone a bit, I feel like most of the Alchemy cards are very generic "we have digital cards now I guess" designs vs. things that actually leverage Magic's more distinctive mechanics or do wacky things with set mechanics. I guess we got the Mapping the Maze cycle...

I think I'd generally pick Hieroglyphic Illumination over Mathemagics unless I was reasonably certain I'd be able to cast it for {4}{U}{U} or more in each game I brought it to. I guess it might work out if you're specifically looking for a version of Braingeyser that's a reasonable win-con for...

I feel like a 3/2/1 ratio like that is definitely good enough. That gives your cube a 60/60/60 c/u/r ratio, which is coincidentally the same ratio as Dissension. Except... if you look at the card pool for a traditional retail draft, you don't see 180 commons, 120 uncommons, and 60 rares. You...

Changeling Aggro also gives you the excuse to run some weirdo synergy pieces that wouldn't normally have enough density to be worth it. Something like Kaseto, Orochi Archmage is really strong it's just that no-one normally runs enough snakes for it to be worth a gold slot. But if you're...

That's the weirdest Roar of the Wurm I've ever seen. :p
