Its pretty essential in the legacy troll delver archetype Seriously, its probably not cubeable, but it looks like a great story card.

I think you laid out the factors pretty well. At the end of the day its still too conditional of an include for me to run. The problem is the rest of my removal suite is much more efficient than that, making it an awkward include. This is kind of a similar card that passes muster for me...

That seems about right. My dorky grixis delver deck vanished from the meta because of the big mana matchups (it cant beat tron), and I dont see how it, or a delverless varient can return now. One of the reasons to play the deck was the splinter twin matchup. I had originally invested in it...

re pauper: Its a good change, but probably not enough. The cloud of faeries ban is a step in the right direction, but was very conservative. That familiar deck will still exist, it just has to go off in a slightly different manner, chaining snap and archaeomancer/mnemonic wall casts with a...

Here is a pretty good article about the topic. Its a little angry, but I think he hit the nail on the head. The tldr version being: Giving how expensive a single deck can be, that seems like a much bigger issue even before we start talking about metagame consequences. If just seems...

It seemed really random to me. Didn't see it coming, and the reasoning provided was pretty disappointing.

Thats a step in the right direction, except they needed to ban snap at the same time, as well as probably ponder and preordain. Splinter twin ban is out of left field.

As someone that seriously delved into combo in cube, I wanted to provide some of my experiences, described here. This is from an earlier build, before I added a more robust disruption suite. Its still in there, but no one has managed to assemble it again, since that dark, dark night long ago...

This is a pretty good article about supporting tribal in cube, and I feel its central premise works for combo as well (though you want to tack on disruptive tools as another element).

Thats actually not a bad idea. How dynamic is that card in a slower, more mana abundant format? Also, both somber hoverguard and cloudfin I would label bottom tier picks, though I just checked my bottom picks on cube tutor, and surprise surprise cloudfin isn't on it, so maybe its better than...

Honestly, I've not really thought about the WW in the three drop section. I guess I always thought of it more as a main color? I actually did kind of have that problem in a deck I built last week, where I wanted both fabled hero and flickerwisp in a three color deck, where white was a...

That's interesting, I was actually thinking of posting prismatic strands, but thought it might be too narrow. Obviously its a different kind of combat trick. I think I don't like embolden as much as other choices for turning on heroic, but I hadn't really thought about it.

This is a fun post. Let me give a brief breakdown of each card. I kept your format, and my thoughts will be in blue, which I hope won't be difficult to read. Underperformers Somber Hoverguard - This was probably just a bad inclusion on my part as I always had to cast it for 5-6 and it kept...

Anyone that comes to this thread though as a resource on lands is just going to be like wtf.
