I can't tell you enough how much I enjoyed this article, thanks for putting all the time to get it together. I still have no idea how I found Cube -- maybe the MTGS forums? But by at least 2013 I had a cube all rocked and ready and jumped on CubeTutor within a month of launch, and tried to dig...

If I had to start my cube over from scratch and was playgroup agnostic, this is very close to what I would want to build. I don't know how helpful that is, but there are 30 easy cuts or so from a power outlier perspective...but all on the bottom end, which isn't the end of the world. They're...

I lost to an opponent at the pre-release when they were at 9 poison and 1 life because I made a joke about how bad it'd be for me if they could flicker my creatures...before we both realized it could do that too.

Having played a pre-release, discussed the set with other players, and watched a video or two about the set: wow! Lovely limited format. Keen to see how draft plays out compared to sealed, but it seems like the RW equipment theme and the GB toxic archetype are both excellent, with blue not...

pretty messed up they have zombie Venser make a golem in the image of his BBFL (best bro for life) Karn

Simply put, I disagree! Making a 4/4 as a + ability (!) is pretty good in regards to using her to her "fullest extent" on turn 5. A 4/4 is meaningfully bigger than a 3/3, and you'll get a 5/5 the following turn if Nissa's not disrupted. The other 5 MV walkers don't have that same escalating...

Is this really so complicated to understand? I had it on my inclusions list for all of the cross-synergies it provides, but I'm incredibly wary of cards that take up too much complexity without consummate payoff. If y'all saw it in a draft for the first time, would you feel like you got 80% of...

I adore Vraan, Executioner Thane. Vraan, Executioner Thane As @TrainmasterGT said, it doesn't necessarily compete for a Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat "slot"; not in terms of a vague "# of cards to support an archetype" sense, at least. Where it does become a "This vs. That" situation is...

For sure. I definitely get the appeal -- seriously I do! -- but it's too durdly even for retail IMO Blood Fountain is actually just good. You only need to support it a little on a synergy axis and all of a sudden it's quite the potent 1-mana package.

Half of these set previews hurt my eyes more than Alchemy releases, holy wow. I was recently considering adding in Tamiyo's Safekeeping to fill the slot I've rotated between Berserk, Mutagenic Growth, and Blossoming Defiance. I think it's about even with Defiance, but I actually prefer this one...

Actually yeah, a 3/1 for 2 that has upside on death is pretty reasonable in the bigger red sections, even at a somewhat high power level. Pretty excited for Drown in Ichor too.

They're nearly the only showcase frame in my cube, which is doubly impressive since the lack of reminder text hurts adventure much more than other mechanics. I desperately hope we get dual land adventures, but if we don't, I'd take land adventures to replace my MDFCs from Zendikar Rising from...

Considering this, I'm grateful you still engage with new spoilers from time to time; your perspective is amongst my favorites.

I adore this card. Would absolutely consider it...if it had the art from Kuldrotha Rebirth. The whole set absent a handful of cards was spoiled in Spanish, so if Train's ready to make the testing thread, I've got my picks nearly ready to write out! Can't say I love the leaks from a spoiler...

The "woman staring out the window" thing is a Teysa reference, yeah? At least there's lore reasons why she'd have 4 power, unlike: two aged tinkerers

Good removal at two! Very happy with both of these, they hit a good balance of what I'm looking for in my removal suite. With the {1}{G} 3/2 that sacrifices for {1} to disenchant, there's a great "cycle" of uncommon 2 MV pushed removal cards going, can't wait to see Red's I currently run...

The best MV>4 green walker, without a doubt. That said, my high-end is already quite full in the color, and the cards I have there currently have the creature type line, which is quite important for the synergies I support. As I continue to try to lower the average MV of my cube to make for more...

For all its faults, I've never loved it more. It's probably been more important to me at different stages of my life, but the game has been consistently fun to play and I'm enjoying the new expansions in spite of WotC's best efforts to alienate literally everyone with a mix of short-sighted...
