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...

I don't currently run any cards from Alara Reborn, but I've run the following cards in my cube at different times: Terminate Bloodbraid Elf Qasali Pridemage Maelstrom Pulse For the most part these have been outclassed by cards that are more flexible like Kolaghan's Command and Mawloc, cards...

I still run 5 cards from Mirrodin Besieged nowadays: Hero of Oxid Ridge is probably my favorite card from this set; it's just a neat tidy package as a curve topper for R/x decks. I've always preferred it more than Hellrider due to its human typing and the pseudo-evasion it grants to your...

Currently running 3 cards from the Fallout decks, big fan of them all: Pre-War Formalwear is just an awesome equipment giving your lower to the ground aggressive decks and some midrange W/x decks some more grinding potential with on-rate recursion. The auto-equips we've gotten in recent years...

Oh man I forgot Prime Time existed, that card has been a stone-cold staple for my cube from the very beginning. It just does everything I'd ever want from a ramp payoff card and holds up extremely well. Never been disappointed with it in any of my G/x decks and still inspires a ton of depth with...

M11 was before my time so I've got no stories to share, but the three cards I'm still running nowadays are the following: I've been on the verge of cutting Sun Titan now and then, but it always seem to crop up in a game to stabilize and buy itself another 6 months on deck. It's mostly at home...

Yup. I use reddit to keep up with other hobbies, but it's a miserable forum experience for actual discussion. And you'll never be able to accurately reference anything in the future unless you've saved the link. It's the main reason I don't use discord either for cube discussion. Voice chat or...

C15 was a fun commander set. I picked up the Meren of Clan Nel Toth pre-con and had a lot of fun with it. She was an awesome Golgari value card and I wish that I could find a slot for her in cube, but I hate tracking experience counters and they are such an inelegant mechanic. If they could...

Yeah, the only reason I even found this place years back was through Jason's articles on CFB a decade plus ago. Everywhere else online was pretty uninspiring in terms of discussion and he was the only one on a bigger site that was putting out unique cube content diving a bit deeper into gameplay...

Huh. I guess so. That's weird that its listed; I don't think we've ever seen that formatting for an equip cost.

Why does it randomly say Diana? I've never played FFXIV so that's completely lost on me, but it just looks really bizarre on this card.
