Is there anything else like Reclamation sage? Needs to be green, common or uncommon, not five mana.

that seems pretty inappropriate! Meteor Blast seems almost as bad. File under dumb commander cards

We ought to be able to discuss peasant cube in powered and un-powered terms, although a few of the implications don't translate directly. There is tier of technically-uncommon cards that are usually excluded from even powered peasant lists like Sol Ring and Skullclamp and such. At higher...

Just keep in mind how many random blowouts can happen to your 6/6 wurm and white zombie snake hydra tokens. It's hard out there for a token; everyone else moves freely between zones no problem, and if you so much as step outside the battlefield it is an instant death sentence. The environment...

It'd be cool to own a black lotus?

The poetry sharing was pretty special. Guess I have to start brewing a 'Forbidden Words 2017 edition' now

It seems annoying even if you are running Bolases. I'm not sure what they were thinking with that line & I hope it doesn't become a trend.

Idiot Lives Matter

...and then a few months before WOTC publishes the "lessons we learned from the Make Your Own Cube Contest" article with all the wrong lessons.

What, are you not excited to draft the likes of Somber Hoverguard, Cognivore, Ihsan's Shade, Spirit of the Night or Haunting Hymn? I think a good example of where the design goes wrong is having Hymn to Tourach and Haunting Hymn in the same cube

I was about to disagree, but having just drafted it, yeah that list is pretty miserable. It being the runaway favorite probably has more to do with the designer having a big social media presence and being popular in the community than anything to do with the list itself.

Yup, not very surprising that they're all singleton cubes. Sadly I think their assumptions about what a cube should be were an unwritten part of the rules. 540 + no singleton breaks sets it up for more novelties than competitive, polished formats, which is what people expect but not...

I guess the twisted color pie cube could be interesting? That first entry looks pretty dire. On the whole I'm pretty disappointed in the entries.

Opened Dovin Baan and two cloudblazers, went 3-0, found an invention Hangarback Walker in a prize pack

I'm a really big fan of Torrent of Souls, especially in lists with Sneak Attack. I kinda wish it said 'from any graveyard' for power level purposes, but the design is great for what those two colors are up to in my cube. Hunting Moa is another sweet design and might be a good starting point...

I had a similar first impression of Cloudblazer - it stood out as a good example of the kind of ETB package I'm trying to avoid in cube. Honestly it reminds me of of the un-polished half-baked designs you sometimes get in new Commander cards. It's too on the nose; it lands too squarely in the...

Panharmonicon 4 Artifact [Rare] If an artifact or creature entering the battlefield causes a triggered ability you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time. All who listen hear their own song, a unique melody played just for them. And here I thought the Panharmonicon was...

Serendib Efreet is way way out of line for what you usually get for a blue creature, but the gameplan for blue decks so often doesn't include early attacks. The drawback is really painful when he's a designated blocker and you're just trying to stretch the game out and win on card advantage...
