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...

I'm doing the survey for the best new basic lands of the year again! Please contribute if you have a few minutes!! Here are the infographics I made last year from those results.

You know, I just might. I loved Deathclaw for the first year or two he was in Cube, but I feel like he's kind of...boring now? It's nice for GB to have a big boy payoff to either lightly ramp or reanimate into, but he's just "generic good" and isn't a fraction as evocative. It's an interesting...

As someone with negative interest in the Fantastic Four, this is truly the ideal kind of card design for UB. Like, that's cool. You get the story even if you're not familiar, and the impressiveness of Galactus is self-evident. It's a good card for all levels of Cube, but it's mostly there for...

Between Bruce and Quicksilver, Brash Blur, we're getting so many 1MV legends. I'd be happy if they weren't Marvel! I really like Namor (that links to my comments on Reddit). Aesthetically, it doesn't feel as out of place with Magic either.

Ran it for a few years, it was a trap for me. The card is fine, but it was valued too highly by our less experienced players and made for a lot of stalemates. I wouldn't be against putting it back in now days, but I like Shadowspear and Pip-Boy 3000 and even Lost Jitte more, and other 1MV...

I think that's smart. Most of the cards I listed have left my Cube and even fell out of my on-deck binder, so I didn't think they'd be hits, but they're interesting as a thought experiment, if nothing else. I think Benthic Biomancer and Ingenious Prodigy are reasonably fine, but blue tends to be...
