I agree with all of this, particularly the shuffling. Omens are exhausting.

Because Bloomburrow is the Furry set not the Fairy set.

Only 12 ornithopters? I hear that the cool kids are running 88 more than that. Unexpected Potential is a great suggestion. Having perfect fixing for a single splashed card encourages interesting deck building in my experience.

I've had success with it at the intersection between Naya go-wide and Mardu sacrifice themes. It does need support, for example Warleader's Call, but can be fun.

This is a good idea, both to see which inclusions have lasting impact, as well as any cards people have added since the initial release. Personally, I don't cube with any Bloomburrow cards.

This is a great idea, and could be varied for more or less occasionals (seeding 2, 1 and 0, or 4, 3 and 2).

How do you use it as mana denial? Mana abilities are explicitly excluded.

I like a lot of the cards that turn into lands, both from a design standpoint and how they tell a little story. Legion's Landing and Search for Azcanta are both cards I've enjoyed having in my cube, as well as the aforementioned Treasure Map.

This is the first time I've seen Ryan's build around cube. There are a lot of cards familiar from other synerg-focused cubes, as well as some intriguing choices. Removal seems to be reigned in, particularly at instant speed, which makes sense if you want to allow players to build synergistic...

Why, Velrun, why? I prefer to be mostly singleton because it adds texture to the draft and makes each card feel special. I am unbothered adding duplicates of lands, because I never feel excited to draft fixing, and suspect that this is true for others (I’ve heard it referred to “eating your...

“In the bank” makes me think of something secure and of value, whereas mechanics of this sort mean a card is less secure in my cube and has to add a lot of value in gameplay to compensate for the additional bookkeeping. I tend to think of these mechanics as adding “clutter” in terms of extra...

I don’t pay much attention to the details of the lore, and assumed that the rooms weren’t “real” places but nightmare creations of the demon Valfavoth to trap unsuspecting victims. Hence enchantments not lands.

I think Coldsnap suffered coming between Ravnica and Time Spiral blocks which were both pretty fun to draft, but I agree that Coldnsnap was a pretty un-fun environment.

It’s still three mana. Colour fixing in my cube is such that I would sooner play an efficient removal spell of another colour.

I think {1}{G} would be fine as well. I don't like how it gives a lot of agency to your opponent about whether it triggers. What about giving it flash? You could ambush your opponent for the first trigger at least. Alternatively you could have "At the beginning of your end step put a +1/+1...
