Not in my opinion

I prefer first printings, personally. I don't really care for foils...that said, the new old-bordered foils don't look like original old-bordered foils. I'd stick with the OG.

I also find that getting from 4 to 6-7 mana is often a more important jump than getting from 5 to 8-9 mana.

This is relative to format speed and the type of boardstates an environment generates imo. Erik's cube is reasonably high powered and relatively fast so I think it's a pretty fair inclusion even if he was worried about feel bads.

I think I’d rather reach for big score

Altar of Dementia by a country mile 2cmc >> 3cmc sac outlets. It’s a win-con. It fills your graveyard with more recursive threats, fishes out a Hogaak, or sets up a large Living Death. Fuels a spicy Yawgmoth’s Will or Underworld Breach Phyrexian Altar has always been fringe at best for me.

I really enjoyed Keranos when I ran Rector. Keranos was also a lot of fun to Oath into. Shark typhoon and colossal skyturtle are fun because because they also work well with replenish parallax wave

Makes sense, and I figured as much. I do think Pest Infestation would be a good/safe include for your environment fwiw. Yeah, GCC v1 was reasonably high powered, but there wasn’t guild parity, and archetypes were more demarcated. I dropped the power level until I felt that each guild had equal...

Prized Amalgam is a lot of fun in a discard/recursion heavy environment. In my cube, I find that you often don't need to be able to hard cast it. I've been treating it almost like a pseudo colorless card. With less discard in your environment, it might prove to be a little narrow in the long...

If you are expecting to slot it into aristocrats with sacrifice and recursion, you might as well consider: Ravenous squirrel I wish it counted land sacrifice too. That would've been a windmill slam for me

Yeah, this tracks with my suspicion. I need to decide how important land destruction really is to my format's goals. Dreams is pretty sick. But it's a one of one effect. I wouldn't want to run multiples of it, and it's not like wizards is itching to print more LD cards. I knew that Land...

Every once in a while when I feel like I have over-supported archetypes and non-essential pieces, I start from scratch slowly adding the most necessary cards one by one. https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/4j9bw The plan is to tweak the list at 360 until it feels like I’ve gotten the most out of...

This is the general core I’m considering: hopeful initiate luminarch aspirant Lion sash Mikaeus, the lunarch Scavenging ooze Benevolent hydra Tireless Tracker Rishkar, peema’s renegade Hardened scales Conclave mentor The ozolith Hangarback walker Walking ballista Arcbound Ravager Stonecoil...

One of the more frustrating things about the +1/+1 counters deck is the volume of 0/0 creatures there are. Having a 1/1 baseline is so much more usable with recursion, and things like birthing pod Eldritch evolution Finale of devastation This might be the piece I needed to finally support the...

Nah, it was only a general hestitancy to bring back the mechanic. One storm card in a draft, and suddenly it seems like an entire archetype is supported. I've been thinking about Darkblast as well. I ran it at lower power levels, and it was always a lot of fun. My favorite is dredging...

I share your position on the Red Rituals and Tendrills, Warrens, etc. For environments like ours, there are enough other ways to support combo these days that are less narrow. I ran the mana doublers at one point, because they were appealing for Turboland as well as the heavy spells decks with...

Stinky boi, for nanner’s and smitty’s reasons

I'm looking forward to the day Cube Cobra's "Top Cards" functions again
