HE WAS A UNION MAN Who knew O'Brien was KING OF THE NINJA? Does Miles O'Brien, Transporter Ops justify himself in my Cube? Is this the card I needed to bring back my beloveds Barrin, Tolarian Archmage and Tameshi, Reality Arc? Probably not, but I do like that he does draw you a card at the end...

Toph is better than all of those, but if your environment doesn't get overrun by Zimone, you'll be perfectly fine with her. She's a sweet card that I would pick up if not for her price. Earthbending is an insanely satisfying mechanic. I think she should be considered a 5-drop anyways, because...

It is very clear that this set is about the worst thing possible to the Cube community by the lack of interest or excitement around it, but wow I love this set. Unlike Marvel Super Heroes, which the community seemed to still have lots to say about despite the complaints, Star Trek is actually a...

Appreciate you, @KhitriyKrab !! Sadly, I don't run any cards from Betrayers any longer. I ran the following at various times since 2012, though: Umezawa's Jitte Ninja of the Deep Hours Crack the Earth Goryo's Vengeance Threads of Disloyalty Heartless Hidetsugu Isao, Enlighted Bushi Tendo Ice...

I may end up playing this. Maybe it's finally time. And hey, then I can play this, too. Hell yeah.

I think these are the best Alchemy cards they've ever printed. There are some really cool cards that work just fine in paper with just asking the players to be sensible, and some digital-only designs that are actually sick as hell and justify being digital-only. Many of the ones I've seen I've...

Made a few changes today based on the excellent retail limited environment. New Additions from FRA: Fblthp, Impossibly Lost This is one I put in originally but took out before playing the Cube in paper after not being excited about it in online test drafts, but having played it a bit, I...

It plays out even better than I expected. I think @Tavahka covered it well: it feels very skill-testing, fair, and satisfying. It gets even more interesting with things like Way of the Pyromancer's +1 ability and I imagine there's some fun things to do with it in Cube like proliferate. I made...

Jace has set the multiverse afoul in his quest to remake the world in his image. The result? Some sick Cube cards. I think the set has a ton of exciting, simple, and evocative cards that come as a breath of fresh air in a year saturated with Universes Beyond sets. Still, this set has an obscene...

I was super stoked by Red Marwyn to the point that I kind of ignored Marwyn, the Preserver! Marwyn, the Preserver A 3/2 for 2 is a great place to start, but I've been trying for years to find a Cartographer that makes sense in my Cube since I have so much self-mill and fetching going on. I ran...

Commander deck is out and it's a little too Commander-y for me, which is probably a good thing considering the absurd amount of cards the main set is giving me. It's basically a Polymorph deck, with all of its creatures as massive multiplayer finishers. Really neat, but not too helpful for me...

Getting a Basri's Solidarity on price as a failsafe is a pretty good way to make a hydra into a split card. This seems much better than Mikaeus, the Lunarch, who I think is still totally fine, since getting your first hit on the turn you play it makes it significantly more impactful to the board...

Traxos, Academy Guardian is sweet. Reminds me a lot of Illusory Angel, who was in my Cube for 6-7 years back in the day. Unfortunately, it's probably worse, but I can't help but love this card's design and sensibilities. I love how it tells you what kind of deck to make with it in so few words...

Darklight Phoenix is such a cool card. I fear that my love of it will be singular in my playgroup, like the often in-and-out Vengevine, but perhaps this what was needed to put that deck over-the-top. Maybe I will get that self-milling 1-drop in too. I've been waiting for our Good Boy! I'm not...

I've been more aggressively testing cards during spoiler season, and right now I'm looking to include 18 cards of those spoiled so far, with more on my watch list that simply need a swap I'm comfortable with. My change-log is here, and as you can see, it's mostly replacement-level cards going in...
