For once there are pretty sparse inclusions to my cube. Kinda thankful for it with the flurry of cards we've gotten in the last year from Modern Horizons onwards. This is what I'll be adding in: Nothing too exciting here. I'm just not a huge fan of a majority of the modal land cards and the...

I didn't actually make them on my own; a buddy of mine who's good at Photoshop made them for me a while back. Afterwards he just printed them out at Office Depot on some cardboard stock. I have zero familiarity with Photoshop and can't really help you out with specifics, but if you want to use...

I agree that modal cards are great in higher powered environments when you're still getting a decent rate of return. You won't get the most efficient version of a given effect, but the flexibility is what makes cards like Collective Brutality or Thassa's Intervention worth the slot. I don't...

I agree with Train, for cantrips and card filtering effects the cheaper the better. I was all aboard with the heavier impact higher costing cards for a long time thinking that it wasn't worth it wasting time on little effects, but practice revealed that you just needed greater mana efficiency...

The vast majority of these imposter land cards don't quite get there in most cubes. I'd say the only one that interests me is the Landfall Elephant, but even then it's mostly as just a beater to push through damage. In a lower powered format utilizing bouncelands however? I think these are...

I just think if you attach that Bonesplitter to a 1/1 to get that 3/1 you get a ton of value just by having a decent body to pressure life totals and trade away without going down a card. Ancestral Blade is just the safe spot they settled on I guess. It's a little surprising that BS hasn't been...

Fair. It's an option and I've got nothing against customs in general, but I just prefer using real cards and filling in the holes as things get printed. More fun to solve the puzzle little by little.

Congrats Wadds, good luck! Enjoy the next few months and try to get sleep when you can!

Give me my Enemy BFZ Lands you cowards!

Probably jumps to one of the best equipment at +2/+0, it's just Bonesplitter at that point with the same equip cost. It's solid as is at +1/+1. Being a second copy of Bonesplitter and the token coming in as a 3/1 would have been pretty damn strong imo.

There are a handful of options, most are viable at a lower power level. I do think this card is the shit though: This is the perfect power level for a high end equipment imo. Getting the free equip when it ETBs is clutch in making this a real beating when it lands. The equip cost being a...

She's perfectly average. I don't know if you're actually going to spend much time utilizing the token aspect of it; it reads like a card you just ultimate ASAP to get the most out of. Gameplay patterns aren't all that interesting and I'm not sure which deck actually wants her. I think all three...

The lower your power threshold, the more viable a Landfall archetype is. I don't think you can quite get there at a higher power level, but if your cube is middle of the road power wise you can likely make it work. There are just so many cards that have been printed that interact with lands in a...

Pretty interesting set, didn't see anything too egregiously busted yet as far as cube goes which is good. Seems like they've toned down power level a bit. That said, there are so many cards in this set that just feel bloated. A lot of these cards just don't read very pretty. For every cleanly...

Probably fine? If the swords just end up being a +2/+2 boost in combat and allow for your opponent to still block and interact they're not too bad. It's when you get locked out from doing that due to protection from colors and get to trigger the effects over multiple combats that things get out...

Bring back Elf Supremacist Nissa. Make Magic Great Again.

I definitely prefer these toned down walkers to what they've been churning out over the last year so that's good, but not really feeling either of these options. Neat, but they don't really fulfill any needs for me.

I actually feel like Batterskull is tame nowadays compared to what's being printed on the regular. If you get into a grindy matchup and your opponent can start doing things like bouncing + redeploying in the late game or find a way to blink it continuously it can definitely get out of hand, but...

Opposition is fun for the player using it proactively and getting to draft around it, miserable if you're on the other side. It becomes more fair the higher powered the environment is due to swing-y haymakers and strategies being able to flip games, but that's also just not good gameplay. I...

1) Why do you run blue cantrips? They help to smooth out draws and give early plays to a color that doesn't really establish board presence till the mid-late game. Most U/x decks in my cube tend to care more about card quality than quantity and being able to dig to your high impact cards or...
