Yeah, those really are a question of support. In my cube you can easily draft decks with 18 artifacts. Academy would turn that deck into a real force.

I think both, Mom and Recurring Nightmare, would be crazy good and potentially GRBS in my cube.

Okay, I'll stick with Reclamation for now, but there is another fight up next: Helping Hand Honor I added Honor to further promote white prowess. It's cool, but now I wonder if Helping Hand could get the same job done (you still have 10-12 creatures) in these decks specifically, while also...

That's interesting, most people here in germany seem to prefer english cards even. Some people at cube open went that far and printed the english version of the remaining german cards in their cubes to slip the paper english version into the sleeves for the tournament.

Oh, willst du verkaufen? Just kidding, I'm proxying anyway.

Is the same true for Gaea's Cradle? Yawgmoth's Will and Underworld Breach are good ones, I should consider them too for my occasionals!

I'd go with the seacrome coast cycle. Turn 1 and 2 are the most critical turns in most formats. ——— Which white recursion spell would you rather have in the core cube? Helping Hand Sevinne's Reclamation

Sacred Mesa is the stronger option, but I like Mobilization better. It's cleaner and has subtle typal synergies.

Last year I introduced reanimator as a fully supported strategy to my Casual Champions Cube. I wasn't sure if such an inherently unfair strategy could be adapted to a fair, lower powered cube – but so far, it was quite the success. "Unfair" things aren't exclusive to max power/vintage/legacy...

Oh no, Mechanized Ninja Cavalry is a perfect addition for my cube :(

Wow, this set is really worse than spiderman

Kitchen Finks I recently read @landofMordor's awesome article about hybrid mana. Now I was considering moving Kitchen Finks to my core cube. It's a great card, works with many themes in my cube and would probably make a main deck in 97% of drafts, if it was a core card. It's not a power outlier...

I don't know, being a little mana/color screwed and then lose because your opponent could get rid of your two fixing lands is the kind of bs that makes me think "greatest hits" don't make for a fun cube environment

I might proxy a version of this that has no turtles in the art, token type line or set symbol. Sneak spells are pretty cool.

That was my first idea too, but it would be weird for that spell to have sneak :D
