For context, my Cube, the California Premiership Cube, is a mostly-fair 720-card that's a full step down from powered/Vintage Cubes with a lot of exclusions based on power level, but is still reasonably strong. My preliminary change log can be found here. Note: I was going to put in Formidable...

I actually like the stats/ability here, but the win-more nature of its attack trigger are what turn me off. It's certainly powerful enough for me -- maybe even too much so -- and I don't really like the feels bad this card provides to the person getting attacked. BUT! I really like having a...

Slumbering Walker is somewhat exciting to me. I like that you get the first power 2 dude on the turn you cast it. I really like Twilight Diviner. It's not a card for dedicated reanimator decks (though it is a perfectly acceptable 23rd card there): it's a value midrange card. Works great with...

I've not been as hot on these as everyone else, but this is my favorite of the cycle. I really love every different version of the spell, whereas with others, I've only liked half the modes. This one is totally fine as a mono blue or mono green card, whether you evoke it or not! I think the...

Oh for constructed I knew it'd be a beating, but it does require a lot of game actions was my point in a Cube context. The "work" you're doing is pretty minimal and not limited to one a turn, I was certainly being a little too pessimistic. It's a slam dunk. The leaker posted HD images too in...

Power level feels a bit of a step down from 2025's sets, but that's not a bad thing. I'm really impressed with many of the designs, and it feels lovely to see flavor text so much more often than we've been used to. I really like this guy. Dragon Sniper is in a lot of Cubes, and rightfully so...

I ran it for two or three years. It usually went super late, but when it was played, it copied a ton of Thragtusks. It was always a high-risk/high-reward card, but in the modern day, it's just hard to justify a card that can be so easily undermined, and that struggles to survive a turn cycle...

Just to add in, I do really like both Brotherhood Regalia and Silver Shroud Costume. I think it's a matter of taste, personally. On a separate note, I've been rotating a bunch of freshly-printed 1-drop creatures in white this year. It's been a good year for them! I feel like I've swapped in a...

As usual, @Seeker beat me to the punch on some of the cards I thought I was clever for playing with, like the delightful Gallia of the Endless Dance, who we played for 2 years and were reasonably happy with. Rydia is great, too. I really like Anzrag, the Quake-Mole and Kogla and Yidaro Anzrag...

I don't like having a one-off poison card. I'd feel compelled to make a small poison subtheme in Cube with the likes of Fynn, the Fangbearer Wasteland Viper Erinis, Gloom Stalker Bloated Contaminator Grist, Voracious Larva Dragon Sniper Venerated Rotpriest Viridian Corrupter Contaminant Grafter...

I'm getting more in line with the sensibilities of Bloomburrow or Eldraine from these, but the first round of spoilers was slightly closer to what I was hoping for. I think we're going to end up a bit far away from what made the plane charming on the first time around, but it's early and I need...
