On Limited Resources, LSV and Marshall talked about how Oracle of the Alpha is not very good but it's really "cool" and they were happy to have it in Cube even though they're not inclined to really ever draft it themselves. I feel that way about including it in most Cubes. I have nice proxies...

Azorius Guildmage Dimir Cutpurse Avatar of Discord Rumbling Slum Glare of the Subdual Orzhov Pontiff Izzet Guildmage Golgari Germination Firemane Angel Trygon Predator This was more fun and harder than I expected. this was my first block and I have so many fond memories of these cards, and...

Today's Reddit Cube card category was black sorceries, which inspired my issue. Trying to figure out a fourth mass sweeper for black after Toxic Deluge, Damnation, and Living Death. Extinction Event Path of Peril Consume the Meek Ritual of Soot Yahenni's Expertise Do or Die Deluge of Doom Drag...

I love trinket-y artifacts and there's a lot of fun directions you can go with them, and you've done a great job outlining them here. Goodness, I really need to pick up a copy of Tezzeret, Cruel Captain. I like a lot of these loops and synergies, but it feels like a lot to ask drafters to get...

only two bathrooms at the LGS :wagg: EDIT: I have a few more thoughts! I've been thinking about this card more too. Note that it's only your creatures, but I do really like a 3mv clone that can move its clone around as needed and that gets bigger every turn. I think I need to try it out...

Pre-release was fun. Both of these pizzas were surprisingly good, too! I think this set is much better designed than Spider-Man, but still has most of the issues that made that set a miss for limited. The biggest issues are still 1) how small the set feels with the same cards everywhere, 2)...

There are a lot of cards that are good and cool and powerful that encourage unfun gameplay, even now. I think there are better things to do than Pack Rat, but even in higher power environments, you're either only playing and activating it or you're skipping it entirely. So long as your opponent...

I was looking at sagas today and found the best variant of this card...from a power-level POV at least. It suffers massively from the complexity creep of the era: Teachings of the Kirin Kirin-Touched Orochi Teachings of the Kirin is functionally perfect for my Cube. Such glue! Self-mill, it...

Been doing more practice drafts on Cube Cobra than normal usual to help break up work. Been really enjoying the new cards from both TMNT that I'll be picking up tomorrow and the other ~20 card change I've made since. Pretty powerful Urza-centered artifact deck Stridehangar Automaton Chrome...

Both are fine, but I agree that Wayfinder is more practical and easier to mess around with. It also has the massive benefit of not having an Aetherdrift set symbol, one that pulls me out of the game of Magic more than Spider-Man's face. No card's been in and out of my Cube more than Wayfinder...

Honor's a fantastic card and I love it. I don't think it's close, though. Helping Hand is such a winner. Unearth has probably not been cycled in the last 5 years, and white is a much better color for the effect.

I had tried it before and liked it, but I am generally much harder on multicolor cards so it only lasted two drafts. I had it prior to the trinkets package, I think it's excellent and a great suggestion. Maybe I use this as an excuse to rebuild a hybrid section of single-pip hybrid cards. I'm...

After any new set comes out, I like to test it in a few sample drafts. My first one today was a lot of fun. The key cards are almost all 2-drops: Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11 Michelangelo, the Heart Ivora, Insatiable Heir Biotech Specialist Campsite Cuisine Obsessive Pursuit Lots of...

I would imagine so, but I don't have the reps in with it. The issue may be that there's more things green creature decks want to ramp into than blue artifact decks, and it's much easier to have 2 creatures out by turn 2, making for a completely dumb turn 3. I'd still imagine it's worth it...

I play with it and Grim Monolith as pretty clear power-level outliers. They're great, but they actually haven't been broken. Cool, your nuts hand can get an artifact fatty out turn 3 or 4 if you dump your hand. If it dies, you're out of steam, probably. Very powerful (and definitely...
