For anyone who doesn't recognize a lot of the fairy tales, it's because quite a few of them are a bit more obscure. Like, Hylda is literally the Snow Queen.

I'm glad that a bunch of the goldventures fit into a 2-3-7 cube so far, I guess? More gold cards that you don't need to play as gold cards is always a good thing in my book.

I just want a card that's a dude that got turned into a werewolf by his wife, but, like, it's not a big deal? (For anyone who doesn't know: Sir Marrok is a knight mentioned in passing who got turned into a werewolf for seven years by his wife. It was probably a reference to the Lay of Melion...

If you told me Whirlpool Whelm was specifically designed for a shared deck format, I'd believe you. :p Some other kinda interesting cards: Index Bamboozle Hinder Descendant of Soramaro Dimir Machinations Agonizing Memories Orcish Librarian Countryside Crusher Trail of Crumbs Recross the Paths...

On a different note, I rather like the look of Trippin', a shared deck format by the same person who apparently came up with Forgetful Fish. I get the sense that he likes mindscrew formats. :p

Yeah, at that point you're effectively playing the following game (sorry for sloppy math - it's been a long day): A 40-card control deck with 8 blank cards, 18 lands (8 of them being taplands), and 14 spells, vs. A 40-card control deck with 18 blank cards, 8 lands (all of them taplands), and 14...

"I'm not impressed with Pack Rat in high-power cubes lately" sounds to me like a good argument against playing high power cubes. :p

The nuance of using Dandân is that Forgetful Fish also runs cards that exploit the fact that it has Islandhome. Vantress Gargoyle loses that little nuance.

I'm also intrigued by this (and maybe should give it a shot myself? Hmm...) Lammastide Weave and Noxious Revival become really interesting in a shared deck format, since they take on an extra mind-game-y dimension. I also really like the idea of Volrath's Dungeon, because it's super tricksy...

Ooh, how do you set up wolf tribal? And is the fact that it makes wolves when your opponents target it with instants/sorceries something that ever comes up?

Chivalric Alliance gives me Pack Rat vibes... and I'd honestly say that the decks that want it most are going to be control decks (where it's honestly a pretty legit finisher) rather than straight creature decks. Sure, they probably aren't going to be terribly interested in Military...

Velrun, I'm legitimately unsure whether or not you're joking right now, or if you actually don't understand why people are annoyed by how this product was advertised (despite it being explained to you multiple times). Lie back and let the bismuth take you.

For me, a filthy green enjoyer, part of the issue is that most of the green creatures that spring to mind aren't really big beaters (which is ironic, given what the color's supposed to be good at): Llanowar Elves Quirion Ranger Fertilid Sakura-Tribe Elder Tarmogoyf Eternal Witness Wild...

Yeah, Pack Rat's problem is that Plague Rats with Flash is a really solid card in a Rat tribal deck, and Pack Rat makes your deck a Rat tribal deck. It doesn't help that you need a board wipe to deal with it effectively, since any of the tokens can rebuild the entire army. There's a reason that...

Enormous Baloth No, seriously, this was one of those wow, so cool cards that I saw other kids playing with on the playground.

Nah, I'm hesitant to update my cubes because my brain screams at me that I'm doing it wrong on a fundamental, structural level and that I should stop before I ruin cubing forever. That's why I work on a single project for a few days and then abandon it forever, never to touch it again.

That's actually not quite right... Kenrith, the Returned King

Ironically, the set code is what I felt when I saw that spoilers were starting up again. :p If we're in eternal spoiler season, can we at least only preview the spoilers for one set at a time, WotC? (I will admit that part of the reason I'm so annoyed with this is that I like watching...

I disagree. There's something to the Zug art that just... speaks to me. (Then again, I'm a heretic who doesn't much like RKF's art. It tends to feel weirdly muddy to me.)

I dunno, I just haven't been feeling my cube bullshit recently.
