You speak my language, friend
Saw this one this morning and immediately thought "This is a riptide card." Not sure if I want to introduce another token into my cube... but a 4/4 trample for 4 that draws a 4/4 trample for 6 feels good if you are aiming for a slightly higher power level than Call of the Herd et al. Definitely worth picking up for a dime.
New persist combo enabler in Boros seems interesting. The other new Mabel (Mabel, Bitter Recluse) isn't bad either, but I don't see it being as generally viable as Valley Hero.
Man I really hope this card is not constructed playable, because it would be PERFECT in Landfill. I have been longing for a card to replace Deeproot Wayfinder (a perfectly fine card that unfortunately references Battles). Trading out the surveil for a prepared land-entomb spell would be so perfect. This card's only flaw is the lack of reminder text for Prepared, but it looks like I'll be able to include several more cards with prepared spells, so I'm OK with it. Diviner of Victory, Paradox Shaper, Pompous Battlemage, and Fatehold Chronologist are all likely candidates (although I'm worried Pompous Battlemage might be Standard playable and out of my budget). Speaking of $$$: there's no way I'll be able to include Hexhaven Invigorator or Emrakul, the Exigent Doom, but could this be the Tarmogoyf reprint that pushes him into bar cube territory?
Also hoping to include Enlightened Confidant, but that one seems like it'll have a lot of Commander appeal and it's a Mythic, unforch.
Hoping to see more Prepared cards and more Surveil that isn't locked into a Jace token (the least bar-cube-playable token since the Incubator.) All in all this set is already very cool for my cube, and some of the weird artifact stuff is getting me interested in my Welder's Workshop box again, too.
This dude is a fantastic bridge between a bunch of themes. He ramps with artifacts, which can pump him on subsequent turns if mana isn’t needed. Grows with counters and converts all artifacts into power. Then you have land sac/gy synergies.
Seems like a solid include in a bunch of cubes!
This one seems like a great include for me as a way to get more White GY enablers. Triggering off itself and any creature (including tokens) means the floor and ceiling are really high!
The recursion is nice but unreliable unless you’ve cast a creature on your turn or your cube incidentally has a ton of scry/surveil. I was in the market for an Azorius card to boot. Sold!
I want to play this with a Goblin Bombardment and some tokens in play.
I've had a hard time identifying a "signature spell" for Dimir in the same way that we have really good ones for the other guilds. But I like this.
I initially glanced at this and thought it might be a functional reprint of Sevinne's Reclamation, but now I see that it's a bit simpler. I think I like it better, partly because I have no idea who Sevinne is and I prefer more general card names, and partly because I like the power level better on this new one. It's a 2 for 1 instead of a 3 for 1. I'll buy a copy of it, and maybe I like this well enough to replace Recommission.

Proctor of Potential has broken my heart with that finality counter.
Probably cubing this. Sweepers are kind of boring and shoehorned to control decks, but I feel like it's important to have some just so there is some punishment for just putting everything into play. This one is admittedly extremely telegraphed, but it being a dinky little 2 mana trinket before you press the button gives it some neat synergies, and you can sometimes be encouraged to sandbag it to whammy it for 7 mana. Just a bit awkward that your opponent can kill it in response to the etb trigger before you can board wipe in that case.
Both of these are sweet
Oh it's definitely a sweet card, I just can't put it in Landfill because it's a strict no-counters environment. Unfortunately, cutting counters and DFCs has left me without a lot of options for graveyard synergies in W/U, so I'm on the lookout. Hoping for a couple more Surveil cards in these colors.
