    I hope exert plays as well as it reads. At least in theory, it looks like it could be great to give low-powered aggro decks that almost-combo explosiveness that Grillo often talks about.

    General Revisiting "Squadroning"

    The wording isn't super clear, but you put a card from your draft pile back into the pack, so the pack exchange is still neutral compared to a traditional pick.

    To give more specific advice, I think a singleton of Gorger is fine to occasionally enable some Magic Christmas land scenarios, but I think it's too poisonous to build around in a fun way. To feel like you're getting full value from Gorger, you need it in play along with a discard outlet and a...

    Gorgers plus Neonates doesn't do much by itself. The density, power, and versatility of your discard outlets are going to shape this archetype a lot more than those two cards. Show us your plans for discard outlets and the picture will be much clearer.

    It's not even a sorcery though, since it doesn't have haste.

    It's pretty easy to make the bicycle lands fetchable, since they always ETB tapped and therefore don't provide any extra value in play. The cycling ability can't really be used when you fetch the land, making it an either/or choice. Scrylands, on the other hand, would work exceptionally well...

    I'd say the primary reason is that it's a reprint.

    The Bolas trinket text is annoying if you don't run him as a PW, but otherwise it seems like a solid enough card.

    I'm wanting to upgrade my peasant cube experience to start using rares, but since I don't play regular limited or constructed these days I'm going to need to build up my card pool, especially for more recent cards, from close to scratch. To help me, I was thinking of making a budget card power...

    I do think it's probably bad to have similar art and exact same casting costs. I'm sure we'll get at least one story of someone trying to pass off an Intro Pack Ajani as a regular Aether Revolt one in a tournament somewhere. "The art's just slightly different because it's a promo, I swear!"

    You're right that the lack of mana cost to crew vehicles is a big deal. And in a lot of cubes aggressive 3/x idiots are probably the ones than are generally stuck on the ground. Renegade Freighter is probably still better in a lot of aggro decks though just because it has a higher attacking...

    Preferences for Izzet gold cards, assuming some sort of "spells matter" theme for the guild: Should guild slots go to enablers (Goblin Electromancer), efficient instants/sorceries (Prophetic Bolt), or payoff cards (Mercurial Geists)? Obviously individual card decisions might matter more than...

    Heart seems like a decent enough way to make a "planeswalkers matter" card that's not super poisonous, but it seems pretty clunky to me. Crew 3 means that it is generally giving +1 power plus flying, which is okay but not great. Kitesail isn't a cube staple for most people, even in lower power...

    It'd be sweet to find some kind of reusable elastic bands that won't dig into the sides of sleeves.

    Missed opportunity to include some indirect support for rebel tribal here.
