Let's start with my peasant cube, Multivalent. This set didn't have a ton of hits for this environment, but that's partially just because the cube is really in a state that makes me happy. The best part of spoiler season for this cube is the "signpost gold uncommon" section, and DFT is no...

The first card that jumps to mind for me is Conduit of Storms.

It looks absolutely perfect, except it's a rare. Now, there's a chance I might introduce a "rare module" into the cube in the future, and this guy will definitely be on the shortlist for that. But for right now I like the design challenges that come from restricted rarity.

Marshals' Pathcruiser Right now, this is probably my most anticipated card in the set. Sure, there's a ton of cool new artifact/token/graveyard toys for Welder's Workshop, but I think this Marshals' Pathcruiser is the card that will finally give me critical mass to add a 5-color rewards package...

After wishing gruesome harm on Loot, I feel like I should mention that this set and the associated Commander decks have some major-league bangers for my cube that I'm very excited to add. In particular, the Eternal Might deck has some really cool stuff.

I remain amazed at how comprehensively wrong this character design is. Would it be fun to help this critter collect coins or tropical fruit in a 2002 GameCube game? Yes, of course. The game could be called "Loot, Scoot, and Boogie" and you navigate an archipelago of themed island environments in...

I had not seen that art of the big dragon with the lizardfolk crew. I'm getting really excited now!

I'm starting to get excited about this set after Maro's teaser. Items of particular note: -Cycle of multicolored Gearhulks! (Dare I hope for a whole 10-card cycle? I think it's more likely to be allied-color only, but as long as I get one in Gruul I'll be happy.) -A new Vehicle artifact token...

I made a list of changes for Welder's Workshop a month ago, but since I'm about to go shopping for my semi-annual physical card update, I'm posting here: Celestial Armor <> Maul of the Skyclaves This seems to be a popular switch among cubists. For me, the relative power level of the cards is...

Splinterfright VERY excited to see this little weirdo at uncommon. This has been at the top of my rarity-downshift wishlist for a long time.

I write short stories (and occasionally attempt to write novels), and I paint wargaming minis (and occasionally even play wargames). I used to play a lot of videogames, but I satisfied my dopamine receptors in the early 2010's with Monster Hunter 3U and Fire Emblem Awakening.

Every so often one of you sickos designs a card I want so badly for my cube that I utter an audible groan. My coworkers must think I'm browsing some really questionable material in here.

I'm using it to replace Carnage Altar. The main thing I like about it is paying 3 mana for the first card rather than 5. The sorcery speed activation doesn't bother me. In my cube it would be fun to go Cult Conscript > Blood Artist > Ravenous Amulet, and then start the Aristocrats value train. I...

In Praise of a Couple Individual Cards Which I Personally Might Cube With At Some Point Foundations features two cards that are clear iterations of popular cube cards that came out earlier this year, and I like them: Drake Hatcher & Scythecat Cub At first glance, these cards look like...

There's a lot of nice stuff here for Multivalent, my Peasant cube. Divine Resilience - Unbounded Potential This is a very cool card for an environment with a lot of Heroic and Heroic-adjacent abilities. Unbounded Potential got added to the cube over a year ago, when I was trying to set up a...

January is perfect. I get so bored and stir-crazy in January and February.

This set is really going to allow me to shave some complexity points off of my Welder cube, which is always welcome. Not sure if we'll have a testing thread for Foundations, but my early standouts are: Spinner of Souls, Dragon Trainer, and Abyssal Harvester

Finally we can get Rocket-Powered Turbo Slug in black border.

Yes, but I like the name "Goblin Surprise" more. The dungeon master narration names like You Happen on a Glade are fun and cool in a D&D set, but in my cube I would prefer a more "magic card" sounding name. Plus, I'd prefer to shed the italicized ability names for each of the card's modes.

The vibes are immaculate. Dawnwing Marshal is a strong contender just for the art! I'll also be happy to replace You See a Pair of Goblins with Goblin Surprise. I'll definitely be finding room for Cephalid Ink Mage (or whatever it ends up being called).
