vesperlark Base rate is mid, but 2 power flyers have game here I think. Then you have the recursion which is the highlight. In sacrifice decks, you can recur critical pieces like Carrion Feeder or fodder like Bone Shredder. In prowess decks, you can get back a Kiln Fiend a Thermo Alchemist or...

Alright, time to go digging for good 5+ mana wraths I guess? What Must Be Done This is actually a really cool suggestion, that I run in another project, but haven't considered for this cube for whatever reason. The actual wrath mode is tricky to maximize because many of the slower decks use...

Thanks for the corrections! Reading the card, explains the card still holds true. I’ve noticed this too. An Inti, Gau, Shredder, Kiora, Tersa and others do a good job as long as you have cantrips, removal and counterspells. I tend to include Geralf in decks that would want Monastery Mentor...

Summon: Esper Valigarmanda Hasty beater that gives you cards and mana. Edit: ravnic beat me to it with the Kavu Flametongue Kavu Pyrogoyf is a bit much for my cube, but if I wanted an alternative for slower Red decks, the classic still has game IMO. "4 drops" Shivan Devastator Anger Agate...

A lot of the best artifact payoffs are either artifacts themselves or are open-ended enough that you could go artifact heavy, but don't have to (think Monastery Mentor). You still have colored ones that are unique, but Green is lacking. There are still some options if you aren't strict with...

Mostly agree with both of your selections. Other than Overlord of the Balemurk, the biggest hit for my cube is Formless Genesis As a late game reward for self mill decks that can be discarded/milles early or put into Gifts Ungiven piles for anton of value. It’s a reliable way to trigger your...

sakura-tribe elder? I recently added it back to my cube and have been happy with it. Get a sac trigger for the new Avatar cards. Go off with Soul Cauldron. Get fuel for delve and stuff. Plus the ramp can’t be touched/wrath proof for slower decks which gives it a unique advantage despite being...

Miles, you make great points about both Psychic Frog and Barrowgoyf. But Erik does too and picked up on my biggest concern regarding Barrogoyf: the lifelink. It destroys games against aggressive decks real quick and means you need an interaction spell now or it's too late (6-10 point life swings...

Rise from the Tides Welcome the Dead The Mirari Conjecture Darkblast These are probably too wordy/complex for your cube (minus Rise), but they hint at a nice UB self-mill control/spells deck. Or maybe you go with cheap big creatures that benefit from a stocked GY. Tombstalker Gurmag Angler...

My comment wasn't meant as a knock against the Lessons, a lot of them look really good. It's just that I am not currently running any and Toph would read cleaner if that text wasn't there (like Rydia, Summoner of Mists and the 2 sagas in my cube).

Never seen Avatar before, but the vibes are spot on for a Magic set, UB or not. Not the biggest fan of cartoonish art, but not a deal breaker. This is for my Explosive Synergy Cube Including Appa, Steadfast Guardian The 3/4 flying flash stat line has proven it's worth when it comes down to...

Powered Arena Cube (PAC) data is on 17lands. I'm not a big data head so I may be speaking out of my ass, but I'm interested in checking out the data as I run or have considered a lot of cards in that cube. Obviously the context is different to my own cube, but maybe there are some trends that I...

There are some serious bangers in this set for a lot of power levels. I tend to avoid midrange cards, but spell Toph is amazing. So many themes are included here and the gameplay seems like it would be fun with what my cube is doing. Between Toph and Fire Nation Occupation, I am happy to be...

This guy is really cool. I can't wait to earthbend a fetchland and get it back! Or make Paradise Mantle tap for 2. I love abilities like that that allow you to do weird corner case stuff. This one seems like it's going to be a ton of fun to play with. I love power matters cards because they...
