Shitposting in a way that meaningfully contributes to the discussion is the Balduvian way.

The Knights are mostly dead at this point as the Court system was destroyed. I'm sure we'll see some Knights in the set but I think Wilds of Eldraine specifically is going to focus more on the fae folk.

The Feasting Troll–King decks?

Zoss, can I try to sell you on Deftblade Elite? I loved this card in my Peasant Cube back in the day, and I think it's a really cool aggressive//weird removal creature that has interesting play patterns in a variety of strategies.

I like them both; I'd actually pick playing these two over the following three. I think the recruitment officer costing 4 to activate makes it feel fine; it definitely does not a "2022 pushed card" when you're playing with it for anything except the fact that it is a Savannah Lions with an...

I agree about Adventure and Battles. I do think we may see battles in the Lord of the Rings set, I think it makes thematic sense there. Ixalan may not have battles since the theme is apparently "underground" and not "tribal fued" like it was last time. I definitely agree battles will not be in...

That can definitely be relevant, although most Cubes don't run enough countermagic to make a tormenting voice variant worth stopping. If you're still looking at this card, I would suggest playing Invasion of Mercadia instead. Invasion of Mercadia This card plays really well, is incredibly fun...

I think part of the problem is that most people don't necessarily have experience building and balancing Cubes that aren't derivative of MTGO Cubes. If your entire perception of what a "Cube" constitutes is derived from seeing gameplay from one Cube and maybe examining some random Cube lists...

We've been talking a lot about various aggro decks, but the important thing to remember is that there is only one king of Aggro: Bobggro!

Agree with Blacksmithy about Channeler. I would agree Champion is a fine cut as well, although I think Mulldrifter is also pretty dopey in multiplayer. The one card I wouldn't cut here is Ethereal Investigator because this is a Cube where it can actually provide its full value.

It's hard enough to do in most Cube formats that it's basically EDH mana. Additionally, it definitely has EDH defense!

Even some of those are fine if you can cast and/or flip them. Invasion of Alara is kind of busted!

You took the words right out of my mouth! Also, you must remember Swaggro, the Aggro deck that plays Thragtusk.

Key takeaway from the past couple of days: Born of the Gods is a superior set compared to March of the Machine: The Aftermath.

I think it's probably the "downside" of losing 1 life every turn. Many players can't get past downside abilities unless they've already been taught the card is good. Herald is fine, but it's not such a slam dunk that people who have never played with it will look past the life loss trigger.

I think this card is good enough that I would hesitate to put it in the "low power" card spotlight. I think this card is fantastic!

I agree! This is a very fun 3//5 drop.

I understand this concern, although I don't think it's something you have to worry too much about. Emry is very frail, to the point where a stiff breeze is a formidable opponent for her to face. I think if a player is able to assemble some sort of value loop with her, it should be easy enough to...

I'm a big fan of this cycle! It does suck a little bit that the Black one cares about mana value and not card types, but the White and Green ones are definitely promising.

All my homies roll with Herald of Torment Herald of Torment
