Thallid SoothsayerBushmeat PoacherSkyclave Shadowcat if you support aristocrats and also support +1/+1 counters (although you don't want the counters deck to be overbearing). I dislike Dark-Dweller Oracle since it's not good as a reactive outlet. Soothsayer has a weak body and is mana...

Every school has Magecraft, but doing completely different things with it. I'd actually like that.

Mayor of AvabruckHowlpack Alpha vs Nightpack Ambusher yeah, they might not compare too well at first glance, but I heavily support flash in Bant and want one of them as a payoff (since they're similar in what they do). I really like how the werewolves play, and since I got a lot of instants in...

Fellow Riptidians, I want to talk about mana sweet spots. This is pretty relevant when crafting an environment, and I think you're doing good with what you learned from limited, since cube decks usually also have a deck size of 40 and therefore a similar land:spell ratio. I just wanted to ask...

I actually looked up cards with replicate on scryfall on sunday, because I want to include Stream of Thought to my cube and dislike having keywords only once in it. :D EDIT: which is why I'm really looking forward to the spoilers of this set! might actually get better than I thought.

I read males. can't be unseen.

Divine Reckoning never tested it (always wanted to do so, though) but this already looks like a more interesting version of single combat, since it's like a two times 'more-than-1' removal for Wx control.

Magecraft gets me hyped, looks way more interesting than Prowess, especially since my cube doesn't really care about artifacts/enchantments.

Yeah, I'd actually love to see the storage cycle completed. Another cycle someone mentioned on the German forums: the Odyssey filter lands, or signet lands.

Innistrad from 7 to 10

That's definitely not what I was trying to say. A few years ago, when I revisited Innistrad as a set for draft/cube, I got sooo excited and have it 10/10 since. Before spoilers, I'd rated Kaldheim 6/10 and Strixhaven also 7/10, TSR 8/10.

I still like them both and fail to see why one should be reasonably stronger in a vacuum, since you're playing both for synergy/deckbuilding purposes in the first place.

yeah, they suck ass, but they have great art on them

When I heard about it first, I got so hyped for 2021. Set in Northern Mythology, somewhat reminiscent of Ice Age? Yes! Being able to draft a Time Spiral Remastered with new cards in the beautiful old frame? Yes, please! Strixhaven, a school reminiscent of the mage schools in Urza block, and a...

..and that's exactly where I want my cube cards to be.

I loved Biomancer when it came out, but I dislike it as a signpost. I also dislike Renata and would rather have that kind of effect in a multivolour card like Good-Fortune Unicorn that is also a signpost. But that's just me and I can see your argument.

They're somewhat similar, but bring different qualities: Grapple is instant, which could matter for Gx flash for example. It's actually a grave tutor for mill decks, where it really shines. Winding Way can be especially good early in the game, if you're in need for either lands or more...

I think this card really is for lower powered environments following the riptidian philosophy of turn-2-aggro where this card really shines. Unearth Dash other synergies that fit in low power creating tokens with haste or entering attacking higher power Archwing Dragon lol

Same here. Powerlevel obv matters here. aren't you founder of #TeamVolcanicHammer?

Ardenvale Tactician, Order of Midnight and Hypnotic Sprite are sweet with ninjas. If there are plenty of token producers in your environment, a 1/1 deathtouch really is lackluster.
