The real question is whether or not you draft your cube often enough for people to notice the changing seasons. It's like how Elvish House Party can "randomly" either be really weak or really beefy. --- By Gnome Means seems like it'd be pretty interesting, if only because of Ikoria adding...

I also think that there's an additional factor of "set oldness" recently, and that's that Eldraine/Theros/Ikoria (due to having so many pushed designs) have drowned out a lot of the more recent sets. So of course Adventures in the Forgotten Realms feels old — only a small fraction of the set is...

I tend to get bored halfway through a match and start punting. Then again, I was something like 12-13 the last time I played, so... I'm more of a cribbage/gin player anyway.

Welcome to cubes built around grid-drafting.

Is this in any way like the sense that some games couldn't have gone differently? The sense that your fate was sealed on T2, and that you can't pull yourself out of that pit?

He looks like an evil cartoon capitalist, which means that he looks kinda like Walt Disney.

It's... look, including your ageism in a comment about how some nebulous class of people disagrees with you because they're "old" and "out of touch" is a pretty bad take. ... As for the designs themselves, I feel pretty ambivalent about them. On the one hand, it's a good thing that they're...

The "when you have no other lands to play" was implicit, because I thought that was pretty obvious. I apologize for not being clearer. This kind of interaction got Mystic Sanctuary banned from Modern, so I don't think everyone was dumping on it... (I personally prefer Familiar's Ruse + Eternal...

Stasis can go into the Upheaval Cube, as a treat. In all seriousness, I feel like bouncing lands for re-use is a thing that more environments need to have as a thing. Even outside of landfall or utility lands, Vapor Snare lets you effectively cast a one-drop instant for free on your upkeep (tap...

I'd definitely say that you should have a hard think about any cards that blacksmithy or I suggest to you. blacksmithy's dream is to basically cube with 1s and 2s, and all of my environments (other than my first pile) are built around gimmicks that skew card evaluation something fierce.

Yeah, same here. I know you mean well, Trainmaster, but please just chill and enjoy the chaos.

Treasure? Spell synergies? Discard synergies? Magma Opus Sign-off to @japahn and @Brad.

Force of Savagery was so close. Blind Phantasm

One last one (which, coincidentally, is really funny with Persist): Morselhoarder

On that note: Persist

It's a new-ish card, and I haven't actually tested it in cube, but... Spectral Steel

My backup person is @TrainmasterGT.

The reason why I think they aren't really comparable is that you're going to draft them differently. Reclamation's a value card, and it doesn't really affect your drafting strategy. Grace, on the other hand, makes every 1-drop creature you see look better, and gives you an interesting...

I don't think those are really comparable cards. :p
