Went 4-0 at my prerelease with a UG deck. Green seems obscene in this limited format. As a side note, I'm trying to build out a U/B artifact theme for a new cube I'm constructing, and sadly it feels janky even with the two artifact sets that we've just had =(

For what it's worth, I'm excited for Push in legacy, as someone who mainly plays BUG decks. It's a great upgrade over disfigure, and notably makes Tarmogoyf much worse.

That's kind of the problem with parasitic mechanics like energy. If they aren't supported fully, there's not much to be taken from the sets that have said parasitic mechanics. Most of the mythics in Aether revolt have the problem of needing energy synergy to fully realize their potential...

Love unbridled growth. It's pushing power and decision-making in all the right places.

I think she makes more sense if you look at Revolt as a specifically limited set. She's a 1/3 so she doesn't die to shock which is a major bit of removal in this set, and she has menace so she can 'safety' get her token generation trigger off (which is triggered on attack.) Anyone who has...

Can we just talk about this card for a moment? This card is wonderful if you have an energy synergy in your cube. It is so much more than what it initially seems. It's a strong, potentially undercosted beater that (and this is key) -also- functions as a T1 utility play in the deck that...

I'm not an expert in heavy multicolored cubes, but I can say that my preferred artifact/enchantment destruction usually have some sort of wider-applicable, alternate 'mode' or use. Have you considered using K-command, or Qasali Pridemage? I do like multicolored cubes a lot, though! There are...

I'm a big fan of Sunforger, and I think it might be going into the new cube I've been brewing! Can't wait for Aether Revolt to arrive, super excited to see if this new cube has what it takes to get there off the back of these new cards!

Do not underestimate Deep analysis. It is a good performer in my cube, and surprisingly flexible. Even if you have no looting options in your deck, it's draw 4 for 6 (and 3 life), which is a reasonable rate. It's a lot of value tacked on to a single card slot and pulls more than it's weight in a...

I know my cube is higher power level than most, but I just wanted to say that I've had Nahiri's Wrath in there for a little while now, and it's felt great! Strong, but not oppressive, a great way to get cards in the GY and interact with the board at the same time. Also at a reasonable cost. It's...

I wish he wasn't 6 mana :/ He'd have been five (and cubable too!)

metalworker

Heheh. This card casts Ancestral visions. And hypergenesis. The Johnny in me is pleased... Edit: It is worth noting that the second effect is not a cast trigger. I believe you can throw a creature down -after- wrathing the board, considering how it's worded.

Yeah, I was medium on this one until I realized that it can find all the swords of X and Y. And metalworker. Jesus. I'm sorry, but what the BALLS is Yahenni's Expertiese? 2BB, Sorcery "All creatures get -3/-3 until the end of turn. You may cast a card with converted mana cost 3 or less...

Gotcha.

The I'd like to help out with some numbers! I have 59 sources of mana fixing, in a cube of 430 cards (the 'current iteration). That's 13.7% of the cube that can fix for mana. Note that this is including all non-land cards that tap or fix for more than one color of mana, or fetch more...

Now that you mention it, I did find an abundance of good cards at 3CMC. I passed on things like Prison Term and brimstone volley in the draft because I was so overloaded.

Decided to give the Min/Max experiment a shot. (it's late and I have a splitting headache, so please excuse poor deck-building decisions.) Was met with a decent enough opening pack power-wise, and took Monastery Mentor, hoping Time Warp would wheel. It did not, but I did manage to throw...

It -is- worth bearing in mind that the decks that leap reliably goes in are much narrower in scope. Decks that don't use creatures as primary win conditions or have much sacrifice synergy likely won't get much use out of evolutionary leap. That's not a mark for or against it, but it is a...

This deck seems to live and die by it's big plays, but you did managed to draft both balance, greater gargadon, and a bunch of planeswalkers. Live by the topdecks, die by the topdecks. I honestly don't hate it :p Edit: plus, you know. Mana drain. I think this deck will do nothing a percentage...
