    I'm thinking of putting Tezzeret AOB back in. I'm kinda waiting on Kaladesh to really fill out the artifact theme in my cube.

    Ehh. She's... I dunno, man. She just kinda sits there and racks up value. It's kinda boring, honestly. Thinking of cutting her from my cube because of it.

    Imo the red confluence is strong but not unreasonable. It trades a -little- bit of efficiency for a ton of flexibility. I'm satisfied with it in my cube, as being a solidly high pick without being overbearing.

    Huh. I don't have the white one in my cube, so I kind of wrote it off. Maybe it's for the best that it never found it's way in there if it's that powerful.

    I actually think the white, black and green confluences are pretty reasonable. Good value, but not incredibly pushed. The only one that really stands out as insane to me for the cost is the blue one.

    Hey, don't bash EDH cards. Some of my favorite cards are EDH cards.

    He's an incredibly good blink target. Him and Brago get super out of control. He's also a great Sac outlet, as when sacrificed, you are left with just 2 3/3s and no downside. Perfect for Pod chains or other sac decks. He just does a lot for enough different decks (and is a reasonable colorless...

    Precursor Golem I cannot believe how unpopular this guy has been in my cube. It's got a downside, sure, but there are so many ways to mitigate it...

    I quite like it. I feel like it would have greatly benefited from being a 1/3, but the very same decks that wish to ramp often wish to stall and make land drops, in lower powered cubes. So in a weird way, I think that this does do a better Emissary impression. It can't trade off, but it lets you...

    General What cards make you excited to draft Green and/or White decks?

    To be more to the point in regards to the OP, these are the reasonablely high-pick cards (P1P1- P1P3) cards in my cube that would get me to lean to either green or white: Hero of bladehold Elspeth, Sun's Champion Stoneforge Mystic Monastery Mentor Elspeth, Knight-Errant Baneslayer Angel Noble...

    General What cards make you excited to draft Green and/or White decks?

    If you have a dedicated ramp deck in your Cube, Nissa is a reasonable body early with the threat of being incredible late... and is an incredible topdeck late. If only all my mana dorks and rampers turned big on T7... ((I know she doesn't -strictly- ramp you, but tutoring a forest to your...

    Ashiok's real good. She's obviously better in creature-based cubes, but even decks like powered cube will eventually give her a good hit. She soaks up removal instead of your more bombastic threats, and spirals out of control when she doesn't. So... she's basically a PW tarmogoyf.

    Very true. I'm not saying this is close to the value that treasure cruise gives, but just noting that immediately discounting it due to mana cost is a mistake, imo. This card needs much more support than TC and only slots into spellslinger decks... but I don't think that's a bad thing! I think...

    If we learned anything from Treasure Cruise, it was that overcosted looking cards with ways to mitigate said cost can be much better than they initially appear.

    A flying, flash O-ring for most spells... as a dedicated U/W player, I can barely contain my excitement!

    Spell Queller is everything I love about U/W. It's going in my cube, whether it likes it or not :D
