They could have named the Angel "Mother of Invention" and made it legendary or something. That would have been awesome.

Nah, looks like a play on the saying "burning the midnight oil".

Even after bumping up my cube twice from 360 to 420 to 450, it's still hard to make cuts whenever new sets come out. So I decided to just label certain flex slots throughout via Cubetutor for cards that people weren't digging/weren't carrying their weight. There are way too many cool cards...

That Chandra is incredible and the art is amazing. Now I'm left with the tough decision of deciding which of these I want to run: Chandra, Pyromaster Chandra, Flamecaller I'm a huge fan of Pyromaster and was reluctant with playing Flamecaller for a long time, but it ended up being an amazing...

Yeah, Panharmonicon is a pretty insane card in any format where you can afford to durdle for a turn. It's busted if you have any way to ramp it out ahead of schedule, but taking your whole 4th turn to play it on curve is not going to cut it in most cube games. T4-5 are usually the big action...

Looking at these two side by side make me feel really sad for the Aetherborn. Also I'm a fan of Massacre Demon, though energy is looking more and more inelegant with every complex card we've gotten so far. It just does not format well on cards, looks super clunky. I imagine it plays out pretty...

I love him, will never cut him from my cube. He's one of the main reasons to even go green. I play him in any green deck I draft and I especially love how well he synergizes with ramp decks. The biggest issue you run into when going with green fatties is that once you've blown your load ramping...

Oh shit, I just reread Rashmi now for the first time. I initially thought well, I guess no counterspells. Instead it's just pseudo cascade or draw a card. Pretty sweet. Play it alongside Courser, Top, Brainstorms, etc. and things can get pretty saucy. 2/3 at 4 is a bit fragile though, a 1/4...

I like the designs in Conspiracy for multiplayer and there are a ton of Commander goodies, but I think the only card I'm actually adding to my cube is Recruiter of the Guard.

It works with Nahiri b/c it's just two activations and you're already there. Just protect her for two turns and ult for the win, it's the biggest draw to her and why she's Modern playable. You almost never minus unless there's a must deal with threat on the other side of the board.

I had a handful of Eldrazi that I wanted to play with, but I couldn't find a way to fit it into my current cube at the time when it was at 420. I fixed it by just jumping up to 450, which is pretty much the limit for me now giving me enough flex slots to work with whenever I want to try out...

Oh nice. 540 is bigger than I like to work with, but I'd be down for a Riptide Collaborative project.

I almost got got by Providence during FNM. Played against Abzan Season's Past with the 2nd place Temur list from the PT. I Emrakul'd him, did some stuff, dropped him to 5, then somehow fucked up by not leaving up UU to Emerge out a Deep-Fiend. This was the first game in that round, and he digs...

Forsythe: I'm mostly using it for validation that people want good experiences more than they want raw power.

Not a fan of that equipment. Having to use mana at sorcery speed + tap down a potential attacker/blocker and then having to reattach to get the same effect is too clunky.

Better late than never I suppose. 1. I have nine according to my list: Champion of the Parish Champion of the Parish Kytheon, Hero of Akros Mardu Woe-Reaper Mardu Woe-Reaper Mother of Runes Soul Warden Steppe Lynx Student of Warfare 2. I like Champions and Woe Reapers the most. Champion...

I'm a huge fan of Wasteland and I love what it does in games. It punishes greedy decks, gives Aggro some teeth, and can stave off a potentially huge blocker or wrath for a whole turn allowing you to push through another 3-4 damage. Manlands are sweet, I love playing with them whenever I have a...

Thanks for drafting, I'm digging the Bant to Light and Stax builds. Setting up a Loam/Smokestack/Gitrog engine just looks disgusting to go up against, though it might be tamer than blinking a Blade Splicer or Avenger. It's kind of funny seeing Bellower in 3/4 of the decks you drafted.

New Kiora is cool if you support any graveyard themes and I should probably make the switch at some point, but I have a pack foil of the original and I'm too in love with that art.

Oh crap, I didn't get a notification for this and haven't been in the Cube Blogs for like 3 weeks. Sorry for the late response! The watchlist was mostly something that we put together on a quick glance of our list, as you can see it's mostly just lord-type creatures for now. You may be right...
