One of the more frustrating things about the +1/+1 counters deck is the volume of 0/0 creatures there are. Having a 1/1 baseline is so much more usable with recursion, and things like birthing pod Eldritch evolution Finale of devastation This might be the piece I needed to finally support the...

Nah, it was only a general hestitancy to bring back the mechanic. One storm card in a draft, and suddenly it seems like an entire archetype is supported. I've been thinking about Darkblast as well. I ran it at lower power levels, and it was always a lot of fun. My favorite is dredging...

I share your position on the Red Rituals and Tendrills, Warrens, etc. For environments like ours, there are enough other ways to support combo these days that are less narrow. I ran the mana doublers at one point, because they were appealing for Turboland as well as the heavy spells decks with...

Stinky boi, for nanner’s and smitty’s reasons

I'm looking forward to the day Cube Cobra's "Top Cards" functions again

Fae of wishes is a very playable wish imo

Plargg, Dean of Chaos ? Additional sifting for your hand, and its second ability can be a mana sink which could also trigger Ascendancy I'm not a huge fan of Crystalline Crawler at your power level tbh. While it can be good in a specific context when you're trying to go off, the rate isn't...

I’d say no, but I wouldn’t be a Riptidian if I said there wasn’t an environment where it was possible! There could be a cube out there with recursive creatures and tokens in abundance with a bunch of x-spells :D The difficulty is finding payoffs for altar that don’t culminate in a game...

This is pretty great. Going to the graveyard is so so much stronger in black

Lots of posting today. In trying to determine whether Flame Jab and Raven's Crime would be cute luxuries or valuable pieces in this environment, I started by thinking of the prime context for them: The Raven Man The Raven Man is such a cool card. I enjoy how it has spawned an entirely new...

It used to do a lot of different things. Looking at the vesperlark spotlight in the OP primer from two versions ago: body double emry, lurker of the loch soul herder arcbound ravager triskelion goblin welder bone shredder wall of omens archaeomancer epochrasite apprentice necormancer blood...

These two "green" one drops are almosts for me. The Wurmlet would need to be able trigger multiple times a turn to get the nod over something like Gnarlwood Dryad in my cube (which I don't even run), and the noncreature criteria on the Mite is a bummer.

I'm excited to have Daze in the cube again. It's an especially nice addition for the dredge decks that slant towards tempo, and free spells are fun! I like the idea of Flame Jab more. However, Jab started to feel slow a while ago, looks like I last ran it in v3. Once I cut Glint-Horn Buccaneer...

Colorless pump is so significant. This is a strong card. I remember when Nantuko Shade was blowing everyone's minds.

It's like my dad expecting me to divine the meaning of his abbreviaton of full sentences in texts But he's retired, and has nothing but time on his hands

It took me a second to realize you meant Dark Ritual (brain is not firing on all cylinders this morning)....in that second I found this on google and got even more confused by your comment: https://www.wordnik.com/words/drit

Yeah, this might have a home in my cube. A reasonably aggressive artifact body with blink upside. I don't support +1/+1 counters as a subtheme yet, but we are getting close to a density of support that it will soon allow it to be as seamless of an include as the artifact subtheme at higher power...
