Ugh I hope it's not level up/adapt/monstrous. We just got Adapt and that was boring.

gonna look for some of the less obvious ones... Watcher for tomorrow is my favorite etb-draw-a-card dork right now. doesn't play defense as well, which i consider a feature not a bug. lazotep reaver has the bonus of going tall instead of wide if you have repeatable blink. makes 2 zombies for...

I had to choose this too, and it really comes down to whether you want artifact CARDS or artifacts on the BATTLEFIELD to matter. I run the spy network because I have a lot of cards that make incidental artifact tokens that aren't artifacts themselves, and it feels bad to have Antiquities War...

I'm hyped for Elf of the Reliquary. Aggressive bodies with a mana sink are my jam. This set is also making me want to revisit the vampire theme I gave up on so long ago... That's probably for a lower powered cube than what I currently have going on. Now that I think about it, a lower powered...

Vizier doesn't shuffle and lets people feel smart with topdeck manipulation, as well as reduces nongames by fixing mana. Easy win there, IMO.

If anything, I just hope this means we get a Demonic Pact reprint in the inevitable Liliana-themed core set. I need my baby in standard again...

Worth noting that Chandra gets the only Rare and Uncommon walkers in this set, as 2020 is about her journey. I already run more red walkers than any other color and they keep printing cool ones! Acolyte of Flame looks amazing for aristocrats AND spells matter. Awakened Inferno seems absurd and...

Meloku is very high on the Scarab God Scale (The measure of how synergistic a card is with your environment relative to how much it overshadows those synergies with raw power)

"5 color green" has been a beloved draft archetype for a while. I remember it being well received in Hour of Devastation as well. Does anyone here explicitly support that, or is it more something that comes together incidentally with enough fixing? And is that something we want?

So many answers! Thanks everyone! Of the ones mentioned, Necroplasm and Mirari Conjecture stand out as things I'm not currently playing, and Sigh's comment about density makes a lot of sense.

It comes as a squadron pick with Gift, actually!

Looking for cards that pay you off for milling yourself. My cube is at what I like to call "Tireless Tracker" power level. Looking for stuff with an effect while it's in the yard, since I wanna encourage from-library milling.

I agree. there's definitely something to be said for ease of entry, and there's nothing that stings like getting your cube finished, having your playgroup shuffle up for a draft, and having people say "This card is trash, why is this in here?" because they're used to a more traditional cube from...

@Nanonox Basilisk Collar Tends to do either nothing or destroy aggro decks with 1 card. I love 1 mana equipment, but that one is too feast or famine (heh) in my opinion. Keranos, God of Storms Nearly impossible to interact with and a boring win condition for control decks. There are so...

I swapped to Blackblade because it ends games quicker. My format's main problem is 40 minute game 1s if neither player is on an aggro deck, and Blackblade helps to alleviate that by making indestructible attackers to punch through stalls and, as you said, minusing to remove a problematic blocker.

Drafting Highball. Congrats on getting the cube up, by the way! Always love reading your insights on the philosophical part of cube design. I p1p1 a Key to the City, aware that Lightning Bolt is a more powerful card in pretty much every way. Then I take Zahid, because that's a c-c-c-c-ombo...

Looks good! Also my bad, I was TOTALLY thinking of Crusade. Anthem is a fine inclusion. Out of curiosity, what did you try to force the first time??

I don't know if you want to encourage people to not splash and only draft mono-white, but that is what Glorious Anthem does. Regardless of whether it's a higher power level to have it in your Mardu deck or not, putting a single color anthem in a multicolored deck is a feel bad moment that...

Drafting Erik's! I started p1p1 with Venerated Loxodon, since that card just went undefeated in a ROTISSERIE draft of my cube and was absurd every time. From there it's an easy Thraben Inspector and I am then presented with a choice of Vampire Nighthawk, Cataclysm, or Blood artist, and I go...
