    I've not really been impressed by any of the energy cards thus far. In a format that can reward managing energy as an additional resource, it seems promising, but you need density for that. Otherwise its just a clunky take on another etb value mechanic. Grubs is intersting if you have...

    I think the thing to do is wait until the full spoiler and see the density and quality of energy cards. Right now I suspect that it will lack sufficient density for cube. If it passes that bar, however, than you can make a decision weighing its cons to its pros.

    Its kind of insane that blue producing bouncelands were first pickable cards there, at least for a while. Looking at the draft charts is interesting. Quirion ranger is way too low power for this format. You really want that card for value untap strategies. Hermit of the Natterknolls and sygg...

    I think the following has to go in black mardu strike leader sorceress queen toshiro umezawa I think bone shredder should get a slot: not sure about the others. Kind of looking for human or zombie tribal type. Strike leader has poor synergy with the hellbent deck. Don't know what deck...

    Sweet cards I've been liking: Words of War Really like this suggestion from inscho. It seems like another useful piece for lower power R/x control decks. land's edge Kind of a neat sulfuric vortex alternative. This would either seem to go in a R/x aggro deck to convert unwanted land...

    Ever after is a bit different: its neither symmetrical, nor has the same combo potential with self mill. Patriarch's bidding is surprisingly expensive /sigh I've been commandered again, I'm guessing.

    Ugh, I completely forgot about codex shredder. That seems better than the millstone I keep on passing. Tarfire because I like the art :p Adding more delirium was something I was thinking of, but it was kind of a late include. Geist of the lonely vigil inexorable blob soul swallower...

    Ok, finally have a first draft up. Sorry about the link confusion: here it is. After numerous iterations trying to find the right power level, I have 360 cards I am reasonably happy with. The working draft could be best described as using bouncelands to power an unfair graveyard axis and a...

    Storm here is going to work very differently. Its going to be a control-ramp deck, with a minimum of parasitic pieces, that occasionally gushes out mana that results in someone dying. It doesn't want narrow rituals because those are already built into the mana base, and its just a question of...

    I'm thinking + Displace splinter twin hunting pack stroke of genius careful study To give more density to those combos. I just like stroke of genius better than rev, because stroke is a win con. Careful study is nice as a way to cheaply dig while upping storm. Bouncelands do feel a bit...

    Time warp didn't really work out how I wanted :/ should have gone with the frantic search. Just always ramp in blue: you can always go reanimator if it doesn't work out.

    I agree. It seems very difficult to lose the game after resolving this. Certainly, any problems that you might run into by giving up a turn to resolve it are worth crafting your deck/game state to solve; you'll make up that lost tempo in a hurry. Also, lets not forget you can curve this into...

    I will concur. Sea Drake looks great, and bouncing two lands has the potential to be really good, while also balancing out the abnormally sized evasive body. Also, Rebecca Guay art.
