Sheoldred is ridiculous if you get her out early (like most early reanimation targets), but pretty fair on curve if both sides have been developing their boards.

I feel like the opportunity cost is just so low that if you have the space for it that it's worth an inclusion. I've had many games in various formats come down to topdeck wars once both sides ran out of gas and anything that you can do additionally to mitigate that seems like a complete plus...

Oh man, I've been looking for more ULD inclusions for lands producing a single color and this new cycle is perfect. All of them offer that upside that isn't quite game-breaking, not strong enough for main cube play, but do enough to be worth the inclusion in ULD and also incentivize drafters...

Bonecrusher Giant is great. Trade in the Scry 2 on Magma Jet for a 4/3 later that will shock your opponent if they point any removal at it? What a sweet card.

It looks it came straight out of Dark Souls. The art is great. I rest my case.

I play it and it's alright. I think it's the best version of punisher type cards we've had and I do like the ability to use it as a discard outlet/flashback card later in the game. The only issue is that it's not as universally wanted from various R/x decks aside from aggressive builds. I...

Robin Hood is super sweet. It's like a red Gonti and playing it on curve in aggressive red decks is one way to keep the cards flowing until they shoot it down. Having other rogues would make it even sweeter, but that definitely feels like a cherry on top. It's definitely good enough to run on...

I'm all for more aggressive beaters in Green that can punish control and value-driven midrange strategies, but this is so inelegant. I want another Vengevine like card, but this is way too much in one card. I think you just play it in every green deck no matter what, it's just never a bad card...

Seems okay if you're looking for more version of 4 damage for 3 mana. I just cube Exquisite Firecraft and call it a day.

I'm thinking Sultai because of the pink/purple vine and also because they seem to want to push Oathbreaker as a format. He'd be the first Sultai walker.

I think Jhoira is super sweet in a lower powered cube than my environment and the only reason I didn't highlight her is because she's a little fragile. If she was a 2/4 I'd be all over it in this primer. The only issue with it is that it's not really a finisher type card, but helps you to set up...

I'm way bigger on CubeCobra than CT at this point just because of how shit Ben has been as providing any sort of correspondence with his users. Dude disappears for months without any update aside from adding in new card images for new sets. People have been using it forever because it was the...

I think Warleader is probably the fairest of those options in a vacuum (definitely the worst art though). Brimaz is a bit too early and too efficient at what it does and there aren't really any decisions to be made, Hero has a more relevant creature type but Battle Cry is a real beating if...

Do you really need 10 cards of a similar power level though? I think balancing ratios are fine if that's like an aesthetic thing, but I just don't think that should even be on the radar when it comes to balancing and developing a good environment. Keeping your numbers nice and clean should be...

Not a fan of Vortex at all. If your aggro section really needs that big of a boost, I'd look into reforming the archetype as a whole and really see what isn't working. I just don't think this card is a good solution to any problem being so narrow and powerful in only one particular deck...

Right? I remember people losing their minds over where to classify Nature's Chant in other places of cube discussion and I'm just like this is entirely too much focus on a Naturalize. Literally no one will notice (and not a single one will care) that you have 1 more card of a given color than...

I'm not a big fan of Hearthstone from the little I've seen of it. It just doesn't have the strategic depth to keep me engaged, I'm not the biggest fan of online platforms for card games, and I really don't care for any of the aesthetics of the game. Also Owen Turtenwald is a dipshit. He was a...

I think the best exercise when coming up with potential names for your kid would be to come up with a list of names you like and then one by one go through them and think of the dumbest insult you can. Because other shittier kids will definitely pick up the lowest hanging fruit from that tree...

I think he's just a stat monster and he's obviously pushed for multiplayer. I guess it's cool if you aren't playing any cool cards in Naya, but then I'd ask why you haven't submitted to Zacama, Primal Calamity yet? It's a three-headed dinoasur that smashes face and does other stuff too. The one...

Great call, I remember giving him a brief run last year when the commander set came out alongside that version of Saheeli, but it didn't quite get there. I completely forgot to revisit him when working this back into the cube. Didn't even cross my mind, but he seems insane if you can curve a...
