Have you guys heard of CubeCon? My favorite premodern youtube channel just posted a ton of cube matches. I thought you might enjoy them:

Soo what's your guyses opinion on including powerstones in cube? I'd like to add some BRO cards that make them, but itbwoulf be the 5th type of artifact token and they are already annoying to diffentiate.
I am actually testing "this" as the UG archetype alongside land ramp in my cube. It's been doing quite well in yesterday's draft. Sylvan Advocate and Life // Death also do fun things.
I very much agree with that. In magic the rules text has two purposes:
A: Tell players what a certain card does.
B: Tell players how a certain card works.
In other digital games the game itself enforces the rules - in magic the rules are negotiated between the two players. Just think of the...
Your comment actually got me thinking about UG and the possibility of a land ramp/kand Animation Archetype with stuff like awaken, tatyova and the like :D
Why would they do that?
Does it make the wording much shorter? Not really.

That's a very crisp and helpful evaluation. Thanks to both of your for your insights. I guess the three mana are a lot and the advantage is somewhat temporary (apart from ETBs). I might try Feldon then :)
So how strong/fun is Feldon in your cube? The card always seemed way too powerful for me to include but now I am interested. What has your experience with him been like? Does he lead to repetitive play patterns? I feel like reanimating something like Triskelavus each turn could end up being...
For Serra Paragon there's actually a freakin comic explaining it. https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/xfnfki/i_made_a_comic_explaining_how_serra_paragon/
If i understand it correctly, the problems actually Resultat from the simplicity of its wording:
a) The ability doesn't cast/play the...
