Holy shit there are way too many supplemental cards in this set. I'm just going to wait for the Testing/Includes thread to see what people end up running. A lot of these are out of consideration for me just based on art alone, but there are a ton of really interesting designs.

Huge fan of this one as well, very clean card with beautiful art and it opens up a lot of cool sequences with blinking and small Reanimator and whatnot. This slots into just about every W/x archetype I can think of in my cube aside from a really sleek and concentrated aggressive deck. I'll love...

I was a huge fan of Glint-Sleeve Siphoner back in the day but I hate all baggage that energy brings to Magic. This is the best variant we've received in a while and y'all know how much I love vertical growth in aggressive threats. Menace is so underrated in cube when you have so much efficient...

This card is really sweet. Flash it in to clear a blocker EOT, blink it to tap down more than one body, you can put together a Karakas loop to enable some big swings in combat, and it can also shut down and/or neutralize cards like Sheoldred, the Apocalypse or big Construct tokens. Holding up...

Will definitely pick up a copy for my ULD. A Legion Extruder effect on a land with all the trinket artifact generation we've gotten in recent years is pretty cool.

I don't know who Mole Man is so it doesn't break any immersion for me. This dude just lives right next to Rat King, Verminister in a Ravnica sewer. Very cool design. Ramunap Excavator was showing its age and on the chopping block for me, but this keeps that critical mass of Crucible effects...

Add me to the recent Adeline for Zenith swap list. I think Adeline is a very powerful card and a way to clearly highlight Humans as a theme, but the Vigilance is the big issue that I have with it in a 1v1 format. It just creates so little decision making ala Brimaz, King of Oreskos back in the...

Neat that they introduced a voucher option that'll be viable for most people, unfortunately my system having extra steps makes it a little tougher to implement 1-to-1 on Cobra. For traditional vouchers/squadron picks it's going to work very well just giving you the copies of whatever card(s) you...

Yeah, Sheoldred, the Apocalypse is definitely the most powerful of the midrange options but the way I see it is that much like retail Limited there should be outlier cards in cube that players are excited for as a P1P1 option. You don't want too many of these to warp an environment, but you...

The flexibility is what makes it a great card that has stood the test of time. He's not the best counterspell or bounce spell at 4 mana, but the fact that it can shift in its role dependent on your needs is massive. As @Nanonox mentioned there are multiple options to maximize it depending on...

I think it really comes down to how you design and give other archetypes tools to combat midrange. I think a combination of the three main archetypes (Aggro/Midrange/Control) is necessary to make a healthy environment in the long run, so it mostly comes down to how you tweak things for all of...

I like FOF mini-game cards, they're always fun to play with, but giving your opponent the choice makes this more in line with Steam Augury which is less appealing to me. But at three mana and instant speed? Probably worth trying out and seeing what's up before writing it off.

Monsters and Myths I started building out my cube in the Summer of 2014. This was the first summer after I had transferred to my university and had gotten very involved with Magic as a major hobby over the previous year. The Magic club on campus was very active and I participated in a ton of...
