I recently stumbled upon two cards that work under the "doesn't get killed by Wildfire" clause and that happen to be good on their own. Archangel of Tithes Ojutai Exemplars The exemplars survive all of your boardwipes and turns all burn spells into way more interesting combat tricks. The...

A few days ago at the mtgcube reddit someone shared their approach to boros and it seemed interesting: https://www.reddit.com/r/mtgcube/comments/heyxbx/comment/fvug42y Basically it's a bunch of cards that survive Wildfire, Storm's Wrath, Earthquake and the like; Silver Knight Knight of the...

Time to plug one of my favorite cards Ancestral Knowledge

I'm going to necro this thread because today I found out about a fun lifegain card: Truce

Hope of Ghirapur also has a relevant creature type for Retrofitter Foundry.

The simplest way to fix the 8th card problem is having to replace a card drawn with the companion. "If you would draw a card you may put a companion from outside the game in your hand instead" or something along those lines.

Some top of library tutoring works nice with miracles; Mystical Tutor, Vampiric Tutor and Scheming Symmetry. Also one of my favorite cards; Ancestral Knowledge.

Agree. Lurrus plays pretty fairly, and it's quite a feat to draft a deck around its companion restriction (maybe it'll be easier on my cube than in Ikoria limited, but even then, it's something you can only do if you got very lucky or if it was your p1p1). Lutri is way more busted at it has no...

In multiplayer environments mystic remora is way better than ancestral recall, in 1vs1 it will usually draw you 2 to 3 cards for 2 mana spread over two turns. BUT it is a miserable topdeck in the late game.

Add Gilded Goose and Gingerbrute to your list BOOMSHAKALAKA!

Targeted discard is the lamest topdeck. For me that's reason enough not to include it.

Wicked Wolf Don't get distracted by the food flavour text, it's a green Nekrataal (that can hit more creatures than Nekrataal in my cube).

We've been running balance since our first list update and it's been awesome. It's a busted card if you run too much artifact mana; we run zero Moxen, Talismans and Signets, only colorless stuff like Mindstone, and the rest of the ramp options are Mana Myrs or limited to green. It's also busted...

Wishlist: In order to better plan our acquisitions, and having actual tools to test drafts, we made a wishlist on Cube Cobra that contains our current understanding of the "ideal cube" within our preferencrs and the constrains we set up. This has helped tremendously to decide what to cut...

In my field of work you can see how easy it is to convince someone when you say "We ran 1 bajillion simulations and it matches the field data we collected" versus "It's a normal distribution and it matches the field data we collected".
