Extinction Event is fairly playable and this is a bit more powerful and a bit easier to control, even if it's also easier for your opponent to interact with. I think it seems fun, it'd be great to blow someone out with them only for them to blow me out in game 2 or something. I like this card...

I'll make a thread for it later today, I've been meaning to, actually!

Looks like we're getting 1 new art of each relevant basic land for the Tyranid deck: I don't think any of them are particularly special but I'm a big fan of getting unique styles for basics that let players deeply customize their land bases to match a deck's theme. For my cube, I keep my...

I didn't think much about this until I realized it started as a 1/1. Stonecoil Serpent that draws you a card if you play it as a 6-drop? And it has the potential to come back late game after you traded it off as a 2/2 or 3/3 to fit your curve? I've stepped away from having green be as aggressive...

Sorry for the double post but I just realized they made a black border (well, kinda) Garbage Elemental-D, a card I cubed with for a few good years before the wealth of red 5 drops pushed my dear friend out. Why anyone would make the swap is beyond me, but maybe if you don't like actual...

I like it. I'm currently running Honored Hydra, a card that fits a similar role but is weak enough in the context of my cube that it hasn't been maindecked once. In all fairness, in many games, it's just a Colossal Dreadmaw, but I'm always eager for more cards that like to sit around in a...

Got my first draft in since Dominaria's release, and my final cube draft with my current playgroup, as I'm moving halfway across the world next month. ...unfortunately, none of the cards made it in time, as they'll be arriving by post today. My Jund tokens deck would've been sick with a Raven...

I worry this is a trap for more less hardcore/committed playgroups like mine. I adore the card, and will be picking up some for EDH, but I'm anxious to put it in my cube and then have it wallow in decks that don't know what to do with it.

Exciting set! I didn't come into this expecting another busted expansion like MID or NEO, both of which still have over 20 cards a pop in my 720 list, but 10 additions is nothing to sneeze at. Great flavor, my personal pick for the most beautiful basic lands on average to date (that are all...

Most of my favorites have already been mentioned but this was an early one in my Magic career that stuck with me: I generally like the feel of the 90s ones best. I think they got a bit cringey in the early 00s and never really recovered that old fantasy charm, and never took themselves with...

I've got to say, this set's in the running for the best basic land quality card-for-card. There's not a loser in the bunch, and all of these below are close to the premiere basics printed imo. The last few years of Magic has given us endless riches when it comes to basic lands, especially in...

Full spoiler is up This name trolls real hard. Probably my favorite 3 MV black card draw? I ran Dark Bargain for a while and it was a fine 23rd card, even with my cube's power level. This is just as good in most decks, and sometimes better, for one mana less! Very interesting.

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.

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.

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...
