Full spoiler out. Didn't catch anything I'm interested in with the dump, except this skinny boy at common, who I'm impressed with for his rarity and that that means for design going forward more than anything. A terribly unimpressive set from a cube perspective imo, the least captivating...

This would instantly be my favorite card from the set so far even if it didn't have the most ideal possible creature type in my cube.

I love 2 CMC 3/1s. Actually, organic three power is surprisingly rare on red's two drops, even rarer than on black or green if I'm remembering right, and the only ones that I've ever been interested in or cubed with before are, in order of preference: Kari Zev, Skyship RaiderRimrock...

Big pup for one G. I took Experiment One out of cube a few years ago and it wasn't missed. Pelt Collector is fine but isn't the most popular card around; Gx midrange, GR aggro, and to a lesser extent, GU tempo all will play it, but no one is stoked. Packleader here is probably better, and...

I legit thought it had flying, I take it all back! That was where I was a little torn, and still think I'd be put in a spot if I had to pick if the card actually played like I thought it did.

I was previously running Wharf Infiltrator on and off in addition to Looter il-Kor until Suspicious Stowaway came out, since I'm a big fan of this effect in general, but I'm torn here -- I use these to support GY decks, but now we've got one that's basically a flipped Suspicious Stowaway to...

It is boring for sure, I love Double Strike and have been enjoying Adorned Pouncer for a few years yet, and don't think this will take its place, but I can't say I hate this card, especially considering how cheap the disturb price is to the Pounder's Eternalize cost. The enchantment viewed...

It's really not that bad! I don't cube with Questing Beast even though I like it (especially its anti-Walker capabilities) of it because it's a cluster of a card, and this fits that gap reasonable well. If Undead Butler had deathtouch or was a 1/3, it'd be a solid replacement for Mire Triton...

I would agree in a vacuum, had I not just spent the last month and a half drafting MID on repeat. Switching the way it works between sets is my biggest issue, aside from the fact it doesn't even give us an (Aura) indicator for what's on the backside. Yeah, this is the core of it! It's sad when...

No, not even in Avacyn Restored. Enchantment themes are pretty uninteresting overall tbh, because it doesn't intersect with as many play-styles as artifacts, which are already hard enough to support (even in constructed) without being entirely linear. It's a miss for me. In the era of...

Considering how massive Midnight Hunt was for cube, I'm not complaining, but I'm pretty surprised how deeply uninspired I am by this first 25% of the set spoiled as of this morning. Maybe they were playing it super safe with this one, since it was a fill-in set to help adjust to a new calendar...

Agreed on this assessment of Murktide's text, but I still replaced the Forager with it because I didn't like my premiere finisher for blue getting easily blasted by Bolts. I do like the Forager quite a bit and would be appreciative if anyone has advice on what blue creatures I should cut for...

I seriously like this card but I'm going to have to pass on even the MtG-flavored version of it because drafters will have to flip it to know what the hell is on the backside. A reanimation effect isn't wanted or needed in many decks, and won't be worth the work of timing 6 mana of clue...

I want something that works well as both, which is why I still cube with Grave Titan although I do agree that it's pretty hard to make a 720 cube where Grave Titan is a fair and fun card. Can't really think of anything that serves as a good glue between those two archetypes at the top-end. The...

Agreed on all fronts. I wouldn't put Elspeth in a cube with a lot of artifact ramp in particular (Signets and Talismans included) unless it was a vintage-level cube, but she's beatable otherwise -- there are many more Dauthi Voidwalker and Selfless Spirit type cards that can get around her...

That's exactly it -- I didn't. I previously had hybrid cards placed where their primary home was. So for example: Rakdos Cackler was Red. Dryad Militant was White. Judge's Familiar was Blue. Deathrite Shaman was Black. And on the other side of the equation, I had: Figure of Destiny was...

Wanted to say that Judge's Familiar is great at any power level. The obvious is there (holds equipment well, hybrid makes it super flexible for many different decks), but the subtle taxing effect is more annoying than you'd think. I miss cubing it, and it's one of the few victims of cleaning up...

This is the first Secret Lair I won't be buying anything from, but not for lack of trying -- I like a lot of the treatments here. I'll definitely need to pick up the movie poster styled Liliana, Death's Majesty as a single, though! Happy that I'm not interested in any of the Stranger Things...

Y'all are enablers of the worst variety and I love it.

Ah! The big sister of this trio: Zulaport DuelistBrinebarrow IntruderFaerie Duelist I've been enjoying this effect a lot these days in retail limited, and found them totally reasonable Ambush Viper effects that actually get to stick around in most cases. The biggest difference with the...
