Man, yet another impact white 2-drop. One of the most stacked slots in cube nowadays. This being able to turn itself into a 4/3 the turn it comes down if you go slightly off curve by going wide early is pretty gross. It rewards aggressively attacking, has the ever relevant human typing, and...

I'm sure Warp will play well in Limited, but it's a mechanic that I'm not very interested in including in my cube. Having to track additional cards in an exile zone as a one or two-off occurrence isn't something I want to subject players to.

Man, I just need the entire Battlelands enemy cycle and I'll have the perfect mana-base for my cube (swap out my 2nd set of shocklands). I've been waiting a decade now. Please just finish these up already.

The way I've thought about it is that with the abundance of fetch effects in my cube if you can get Tifa up to 3 power with a Rancor or +1/+1 counters that's all you really need to be able to push through a healthy chunk of damage. The combo line is living the dream, but I think if you can push...

Fuck yeah, less Skaab Ruinator synergy

I'll add it to my maybeboard shortlist. I'm always on the lookout for more 1 mana options to tutor up with Brightglass but it mostly comes down to how valuable they'd be outside of being just a pure tutor target. The other two cards I've been mulling over are Soul-Guide Lantern and Exploration...

Final Fantasy was a surprisingly dense set with a ton of inclusions for my cube. I wasn't expecting it with my first pass through picking out a handful of cards, but as I got acquainted with all the new options By my count I've added a dozen new cards to my environment and have high hopes for...

The Tezzeret alt-art goes extremely hard: Weird walker to evaluate as it looks to be a pure value piece, doesn't really break the game in any big way. But getting a triple Luminarch Aspirant buff for an artifact every combat is pretty big game (as is being able to stack emblems). Definitely...

After the influx of so many Landfall centric cards and support from Final Fantasy revitalizing that deck in G/W, I was thinking about other existing archetypes in my cube with missing effects and I circled back to my U/R Artifact decks. Urza, Lord High Artificer Thought Monitor Tinker Goblin...

Finally able to bring in a cool design I wanted to try out for a while: Poxwalkers There are obvious synergies with Gravecrawler and cards with Flashback, in addition to cards like Inti, Seneschal of the Sun and Containment Construct which allow for rare card advantage through exile. More ways...

Alright, gave the set another look over and have settled on a few more inclusions: Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER I love Blood Artist effects but we're past the point where a dinky 0/1 can really cut it in higher powered environments. There have been so many variants with a bigger effect or more...

Fifth Dawn is well before my time, but there are a number of timeless options that I don't really see leaving my cube anytime soon: Magma Jet is probably the only one that's ever in danger of being cut, but I just brought it back in one of my recent updates because I just missed having a...

I've only got three definite inclusions for now, will have to take a closer look at the completed spoilers and see if I missed anything else: I've been actively looking to curb the number of DFC inclusions in my cube over the years, but Cecil, Dark Knight is too sweet of a design to ignore...

The alt-art on this is incredible. I'm going to have to revisit potential U/B artifacts synergies in my next update to figure out the best way to include it.

This card is sweet. Cool way to branch artifact and reanimator archetypes through Grixis colors and being able to Surveil off any artifact gives it a lot of potential. Raise Dead at the end of each of your turns gives you grindy potential in the late game ala Meren of Clan Nel-Toth and while I...
