Yeva doesn't seem especially useful, I was running her for a while and found it too hard to realize value from her ability, making her mostly just a flash 4/4 for {2}{G}{G}. Briarhorn is a high-power alternative, and stuff like Wolfir Avenger might be worth looking into if you like green flash...

temporal mastery

Maybe could even be part of an attack trigger for value theme. Or Inspired

There are never enough cards to choose from, but recent keywords like exploit, raid and soulbond are either conditional enough or put enough of a twist on it for me to prefer them in most cases. SOI shows a bit of what's going on, both the bad (chase mythic Archangel Avacyn is pushed enough...

So why does Kokosho not cut it? The 5/5 flying body is established as being worth about five mana, or at least between four and five in most of our cubes. Surely the on-death trigger is worth the rest of the casting cost? The main culprit for me would be exile effects and psudeo-removal...

Really really pleased with the new artwork and flavor texts. And of course updated templating. It's the little things.

Well yeah it's been done before, as you observed earlier that's Blizzard's MO. They take something popular but imperfect and release their own polished, streamlined, accessible take on it. They take your idea and do the definitive version of it. I quibble and complain about Hearthstone...

Fire // Ice is probably the stronger card, two split up as you choose can be a blowout if your opponent doesn't see it coming. Turn // Burn is the more interesting cube inclusion to me; 1. fuse 2. Turn will get cast occasionally 3. mana birds and other utility x/1s don't get blind-countered so hard.

Sure seems like Wizards is marketing this set to cube owners and is trying to bring cube in as a supported format, much like they did with Commander. In the spoilers today Deathrite Shaman is presented as "One of the great Cube all-stars" and lead designer Tom LaPille's job is summarized as...

Feels fine.

On the defensive side, maybe Saber Ants?

Yeah, considering how high wall of Omens gets picked she seems totally playable in cube. Also get the human tribal and incidental artifact synergy

I have a small experiment of this going. phyrexian altar enables plays like looping gravecrawler . in the same vein, I'm also trying out mitotic slime.

I would like to second the recommendation of mikaeus, the unhallowed.

Oh man this Tavern Brawl is the best. A good reason to log on, fast quests, just the coolest thing. I think that I've solved the format (5-0 so far)

We're back with another edition of Genericco's Generic Single Perspective Spotlight Thread! Brought to you by this panel from Penny Arcade (from fifteen years ago now): Wannabe Iconoclast edition.

It's cast trigger, not ETB trigger, so only way to cheat it into play and draw back to seven afaik is Channel. Still protected, but not by a full grip of counterspell fodder. I've been running it for months and nobody's gotten it into play yet. Might not be supporting {c} enough though

Thanks for the kind words. Puppeteer Clique We're up to two real-world deployments of this card, neither one of which was a smashing success. Without mill synergy from something like Mesmeric Orb you're just hoping your opponent's graveyard will have something worth targeting by the time...

Proxied up five more shocklands today to bring it up to two complete sets. Then I wasn't satisfied with the ally colors having five lands each while the enemy colors had four, so I added a cycle of enemy filter/checklands. So now there's 5 full cycles of two-color lands, fifty cards, out of 461...

There's been another round of cuts and adds. As usual cubetutor updates reflect the paper list accurately. Here are the ones I'm excited about: IN: OUT: So, there was a hijacking attempt in the Single Card Spotlight recently, where brigands stormed the Treasure Cruise discussion and...
