Still a fantastic card!

Sagas are fantastic - the timing of the triggers is a bit awkward but otherwise they are exactly what that kind of multifaceted CA effect should look like. Other than the obvious Blink stuff, effects that can sacrifice them before an unneeded final chapter (Vraska, Golgari Queen or Doom Foretold...

I have mine as earliest printing instead but I get the same problem

The Antiquities WarHistory of BenaliaElspeth Conquers Death As you all noted, Sagas are great - The Antiquities War is strong if you care enough about artifacts (and recently there's a trend of cards that key off both artifacts and enchantments so that crossover is easier) and History of...

I love the Saga art! The 7th one that nobody knows about conveys the theme of the card well but doesn't pop in the same way. The volcano on the Portal one looks good in the old border too

Just abandon the colour identity concept altogether. It's a somewhat arbitrary relic of EDH from a decade ago that doesn't translate well into Limited and only serves to constrain players' options For more dense cards: Thraben InspectorJadelight Ranger

I've struggled to make any theme work in UR in a way that connects well with the rest of my Cube. Spells matter, artifacts - none of it seems to come together for me. I wish Goblin Welder wasn't such a trap!

I love Living Death; it's usually a centrepiece of decks in its own right rather than just a big reanimation spell. Some examples from my Cubes across the years: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/1240945[/url]"] Ones 1 Carrion Feeder 1 Carrion Feeder 1 Cryptbreaker 1 Lovestruck Beast 1 Stitcher's...

Feldon of the Third Path How has the old man been for people? It looked like a home run for me but in drafting on CubeCobra etc I often find myself cutting it from decks that should be the ideal homes for it. I want to love it but I don't want to grow overattached!

COMMANDER LEGENDS I understand the view that it's nice to have a set off after the deluge of goodies we had with Zendikar Rising, especially with COVID hampering our ability to give any new card the audition it deserves. Personally, most of my engagement with Cube has always been theoretical...

Do you think this is less of a problem when the artifact deck is likely to be at least one and probably both of U/R itself? If Dack can nab a random trinket from an opponent that you can then feed to Goblin Welder or whatever, that may even be a point in its favour

Dack Fayden The +1 ability is music to my ears but the -2 worries me - when you get to steal something good, he really does feel like the greatest thief in the multiverse. Is that ability just too swingy, especially in a Cube that wants to host a lot of build-around artifacts?

If this card was in German it would just be one long word

You see Izzet Charm underperforming in a lot of Modern decks because it promises flexibility but isn't good enough at any of those things to make up for its clunkiness (which naturally is a format-specific term: 2-mana can be clunky in Modern, it's cheap in Cube)

ZENDIKAR RISING After a revisit to Ravnica that made me question why I fell in love with Magic in the original Ravnica block, I'm sceptical of this method of phoning in these callbacks that rely on nostalgia. The specific precedent here is discouraging too - Battle for Zendikar was a massive...
