I mean, this is normally just a better Naturalize, but also hitting fliers is huge. I ran Atraxa's Fall for a hot second and while I liked it (well, not the story implications), this is much better at half the cost. You're rarely going to be in a situation where this doesn't hit what you want it...

I literally haven't stopped thinking about this card in the two hours since I first laid eyes on it. I feel like it's selfish for me to include it in my Cube, but it hits so many notes for the kinds of decks I end up drafting that I'm bubbling with excitement. Hermit Druid has a new best friend...

Escape Tunnel is sweet. I will never complain about additional Evolving Wilds variants, especially if they do something interesting like helping you win the game through a board stall or something. These are both way better than the standard version, and are the odd special frame card I'd...

My Cube is fast and mostly modern cards, thank you all for helping me come back down to Earth

Was reading some early 2000s tournament reports (as you do on a Wednesday night near midnight) and found this card: Temporal Aperture Anyone have any experience with it? It seems zany and fun. You can kind of build your deck around it to have close-to-even chances of getting your mana back...

Yeah, but how many creatures have 3+ power these days? If it was MV2 or less, I'd be interested, but half of my two drops in white are over that limit, so this basically just rips 1-drops from the top of my deck.

As a Magic card, maybe, but not necessarily as a Cube card that can justify a coveted gold slot. I'm still planning on running it, but it doesn't attack any better than a Wind Drake, which isn't ideal in 2024 Magic if I have to build my mana around a card. It gets there otherwise, clunky text or...

I did, actually! I started running it the moment I got my hands on it (2014 IIRC), and there was certainly not anywhere near the density of Legendaries in my Cube at that time. Here's a link to the earliest version of my Cube I have from around then for context, I got it pretty soon after this...

Basic Lands! Looks like one from each guild. I'm a big fan of the Selesnya Plains, the Golgari Swamp, and the Selesnya (?) Forest. Actually, it seems like Orzhov doesn't get a basic land, and Selesnya gets two, so maybe I'm confusing the top Plains. The Affinity for Planeswalkers is just cute...

I'm not the biggest fan in the world of ETB tapped lands, but I'd prefer the surveil to the cycling of the Amonkhet duals or the Tango half-cycle. Will probably test out the Dimir and Golgari ones at the very least!

(slightly altered from another comment I made) Loyal Retainers is the card that would be last to get cut of white 3s, one of the most competitive slots in my cube. It's a pet card for sure, but it's actually so good. Most of the best reanimator targets are legendary, regardless of power-level...

I'm currently funemployed so my family is staying with my parents in the boonies for a while, and have been drafting/playing standard a few times a month at the LGS that just opened up. I've made enough inroads while I've been here that I'll be hosting a Cube night on Thursday for the first...

Riders of Rohan is probably my favorite Boros card for Cube for its incredible army-in-a-can, but at the highest power-levels, Whisperwood Elemental has not been play-worthy for a while, and adding another 2/2 to it isn't worth another color.

Strictly on power-level? Ordered within tiers, based on my opinion and play-rates from my analysis of the Best of Boros: Tier 1 Forth Eorlingas! Comet, Stellar Pup Wildfire Awakener Éomer, King of Rohan Tier 2 Otharri, Suns' Glory Showdown of the Skalds Figure of Destiny Anim Pakal, Thousandth...

I do really like it....I should make sure I have one in my on-deck binder at the very least!!

I feel like we all did this before, but I wanted to see what the lovely folks of Riptide's answers were for the 2023 Cube in Review, like they do over at Lucky Paper. There are five sections -- just copy and paste my response and replace it with your own to keep the format like on Lucky Paper...

I ran it for about a year, it never made anyone's main deck, sadly. Would love to try it out again but I fear I'd be the only one interested in it.

I'm so sad
