    I think it's closer to an instant speed Strategic Planning than Expressive Iteration. Iteration basically always lets you draw 2 cards for 2 mana (as long as you're playing it on turn 3 or later), while Planning and Moment of Truth are only ever guaranteed to give you one card to use, plus stock...

    I mean, people keep buying all of the bonus Commander products. Obviously someone other than Hasbro executives want them.

    Squeefoot seems pretty powerful. You need a Saproling to stick in order to activate the reanimation ability, but this card prints those so that shouldn't be too much of an issue. Additionally, Saprolings aren't too hard to create with supplemental cards. I'm not sure I'll be playing this, but I...

    General Evolutionary Biology and Cube: Natural Selection and Archetypes

    A few months ago, I had a conversation with @landofMordor in My Cube Thread. After learning some interesting information about the history of Evolutionary Biology in recent college classes, I realized that some of what I learned actually applies to Cube design in strange and unique ways. This...

    Highball: Legacy of the Rails

    I know it's been a while since we had this conversation (and I meant to follow up in text here earlier but I got a bit too busy with life, oops :oops:), but I've had some musings on this topic that I thought might be a bit interesting. Part 1: "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light...

    ~20% of the Cube being lands is pretty standard for High Power environments these days. It's a good way to increase the power level of the average deck through consistency without necessarily having to sacrifice fun archetypes that have higher variance.

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    Thanks for the reply! I only have the hybrids rolled in with the golds due to space budgeting reasons. There really aren't enough good hybrids to justify a dedicated hybrid section in this Cube, and most of the hybrids I'm running usually only go in decks that use both colors anyway. Obviously...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    I have the hybrids in the gold sections because there isn't a full set of color-balanced hybrids I want to run. I'm not particularly worried about the technicalities of the spreadsheet here other beyond the increased number of enemy golds than allied. Just based on what these four hybrid cards...

    What's one card from each of these two-color combinations that is less good/less fun/less interesting/less powerful than the other cards in it's gold section? https://www.cubecobra.com/cube/list/16y6?f=ci%3D2+-t%3Aland&view=spoiler
