He's a 5 mana earthquake that your opponent can murder before he explodes, only major issue is that he is the definition of slow so slice and dice might be a better option.
Yeah, kinda same. Most of my friends don't really enjoy cube, and if I can't play the best part about Magic then why play at all? I'll still probably pop in every now and again, but eh, time to write that TTRPG I guess.
as always, it depends. I personally think that rielle is probably a smidge less strong than drake haven just because they scale based on your environment and I wonder if that is mostly just due to the fact that you don't have a ton of enchantment removal compared to creature removal. But much...
It's better than a 2 mana divination, it's an instant speed 2 mana divination.
the main scenario why I found it especially egregious is like,
"player 1 keeps 2 mana open and passes turn"
"player 2 does not want any of their spells to be countered so they pass turn"
"on their end step, player 1...
I think they would definitely be the strongest card in your cube, just because card advantage is real.

In a way, Yu-Gi-Oh has also been doing the same thing for years. Not sure if I want Magic going that route but I fell out of Modern a long time ago so I don't particularly care.

Yeah I had the same issue, with the doubling up into twins. I had a 90 black lotus cube and that was worse than this, but this is not much better. I think that having a flat 30 black lotuses as a dark ritual replacement would have been a better alternative than this. But I really wanted to go...
So immediately after I read the rules for the contest, I thought of one card. Or more accurately, I thought of the flavor text of one card.
Old Fogey
So, I decided to take the old man at his word and see what came about. At least with the Black Lotuses, I ain't putting in Plague Rats.
It's the...
The egg would be doubled too, and there is no way there could be a deck in the cube without the egg, it's basically required. That's why I'm diluting it to make the drafting a bit more fun, get some more cards and archetypes and so on.
This has been a fun project so I don't mind being...
