    Sets [DMU] Dominaria United Spoilers

    I'd rather use the snow lands for Kaldheim to do this (for art and aesthetic purposes), but if you want to use legit Magic cards and double sleeve your cube anyways, you could always make the custom inner-sleeves from Alter Sleeves for $6 a pop to easily obscure the CITP part of these duals...

    Seriously. I actually love the effect but it's a novel-length card that introduces memory issues at rare for what's a very slight side/upgrade to Terramorphic

    He's here! Good art, good abilities. The best anthem on legs yet? I doubt I'll trigger that third ability in more than 5-10% of games but it's not terrible to have anyways.

    I'm a huge fan of the effect, but it kills me that you could take off half the text on the card without breaking it, and it would get rid of memory issues. What made Lurrus OK to have this kind of repeatable recursion at rare at 3 MV, or did Bauble loops scare R&D? Also, why the 2 life kicker...

    I don't think it's better or more interesting, no.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I love draft matters cards but this and Arcane Savant both made for poor incentives in the drafting section that made the cube feel less fun overall, plus I don't love the logistics of relying on your SB for round 1 games.

    This is the kind of Sultai deck I want to support in my cube.....still a little wordier than I'd like, but it is a bit cleaner than I was fearing it'd be from the text-only version. It's a lot to grok on a single card, but it's so cool.

    General Should Gold Sections Be A Bit More Nuanced?

    I previously sorted things in Cube Cobra / CT based on how they were played, including hybrid cards in my mono-colored sections where it made sense, etc. for all the reasons @ravnic discusses here. I stopped because it ended up being mentally easier for me to manage a list of 720 cards if I...

    Man, I can't justify cutting Alesha, Who Smiles at Death but this is a neat card for the Legendary-matters theme I was hoping to support a little more with this set, and I don't want to double up on Mardu cards. Neat creature all the same though! Love the art for Cut Down

    Couldn't agree more, @inscho, Phoenix Chick and Electrostatic Infantry both are fairly competitive and exciting even in the strongest cubes, supporting multiple existing archetypes in red each. Cult Conscript and Cut Down are both easy inclusions, but they're both replacement-level rather than...

    I think it's unnecessary as a counter, but it's not offensive to me. Beloved character, great art, supports legendary-matters.....but also it's three colors. I don't actually have a Bant card I love for cube, so maybe this is a good one? It's powerful, but very mana intensive and overly...

    General The Sets of 2023 and Beyond

    Our first "Epilogue" set, interesting. I like the idea of a set taking place across multiple planes (March of the Machine), curious to see how they'll make that cohesive. The Origins/Urza's block approach wasn't terrible, but I think would be too limiting here. Eldraine is pretty exciting...

    The Raven Man I've desperately wanted to make Tinybones, Trinket Thief work but I don't have the discard density to justify it, and it doesn't survive on its own without synergy as a playable card. The Raven Man may have a lower upside but it's the complete package, and a neat collection of...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    My drafters were allergic to it :( I love the card but if no one drafts it/includes it in their 40, it's not worth keeping a novel and powerful card like that, even if it's a solid finisher for Rx aggressive decks.

    What's everyone most excited for in this set? I currently run 8 cards originally printed in the last Dominaria set, and of them, only two of them really deal with the main themes I'd expect to return (legends matter, sagas, saprolings, etc.). I really am hoping for more Historic / Legends...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Yeah, the point of it is that it's not interactive. It's a cool payoff for the aggressive self-mill decks. I think that makes it a bit too narrow, and I prefer my payoffs to have a bit more counter-play available for opponents, but if I sat down to draft a cube and saw Wonder, I'd know I'd be in...

    General Monthly Fun Q: What's your favorite thing or topic on Riptidelab?

    Certainly spoiler season is my favorite time to be here. This was my favorite forum to lurk long before I started posting, and now as the only place I've been able to find thoughtful cube-related commentary on the cards that don't fit neatly into the idea of a 360/450 wtwlf-styled cube (which I...

    I do love the card, I think it's just a bit too slow for my environment. Really wish I could make it work since the effect is quite novel and compelling, and it supports itself in all kinds of ways, but it's also just a whole tier weaker than my worst 3-drops in blue.
