as this forum's historical biggest booster of the initiative i would suggest that it's not worth doing unless you're playing vintage cube with a focus on combo. they invalidate any degree of combat that isn't fish.dec warp+blink smokebraider etc+elementals Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant

I would rather have a Hordeling Outburst I think?

of note also: the mono black devotion deck that played these in standard went t1 thoughtseize t2 rat t3 more rat. which without the targeted discard spell up front was a lot more vulnerable. however despite the retrospective context it remains pretty boring to play and particularly uninteresting...

It's a pretty fun Cube! And Power is always fun. There's another white card or two I'd like to suggest: Serra Paragon rebuys Black Lotus (I saw LSV do this in one of his cube vids), does some Teshar stuff once a turn, kind of like a Lurrus, it's worth 4 mana here Approach of the Second Sun You...

slam dunks: as mentioned above Formidable Speaker is one of the most exciting Cube cards in a little while. does it all, untaps lands, targets Nadu, whatever you want or need.
