Too janky IMO If it was a repeatable fork for any spell then maybe, but as written it doesn't seem worth much. How many spells in your cube target the caster?

Also interested to hear how you misplay this. What level of value did they end up being?

I haven't tried it because I don't think it beats out the modes offered by abrade

I don't think that upside is enough to offset giving your opponent cards per turn. If your decks are getting lots of permanents on the battlefield, this might be an option? twilight prophet

Pretty good. I like that it doesn't say "other goblins", so at the very worst you can fire-breathe Battle Cry Goblin itself (which puts you closer to that 6 power)

I agree that it doesn't really fit into a reanimator/delve type strategy, but note that the other player loses life from your reveal. So if you flip a Griselbrand you opponent takes 8.

Kykar is great as an overall spells anchor, and like Monastery Mentor and Saheeli cares about any noncreature spell. Currently my jeskai slot of choice. Breya being 4 colors feels a bit awkward for most cube environments, and you do already run Omnath as a 4C with boros colors in it. I would...

Yeah it's fine. Nice power level for a 5 drop IMO, and it's creature counting ability self-limits how above-curve the madness can be.

I'll be honest when I say that I still think it's tricky at best to execute well in cube formats. True storm is something I would stay away from almost regardless. It's the iconic parasite of mechanics. It will be doubly tricky for you to implement a spell-based "storm" if you have a more...

And Siesmic Assault and Ayula's Influence and Living Twister and Harrow and and and and. Yeah the three slot in general is WotCs favorite dumping ground for "cool effect but we don't think it'll be workable at 2 mana and at 4 mana it'll be too slow"

I'm on team Augur at the moment. Courser is one of those cards that felt unshakable, but Augur offers advantage in more manageable ways. Courser being firmly anti-aggro is a pretty big knock against it. Augur can still put up a defense without flat-out crippling aggros efforts in one package...

Yeah, I'd agree with that sentiment overall. I really do like the Conjecture. Refuel your hand and then get a turn-wide copy effect that doesn't take additional mana in that moment.

Yeah fork effects are awkward in cube, and honestly in general outside specific interactions built around them. Why use a spell to copy a spell, when that copy spell could just be it's own [insert effect] in your hand. Iteration might get closer to cubable than most have thanks to flashback...

That is certainly a consideration, but especially in this environment there are plenty of ways for decks to prep it and to utilize it beyond just one card. And even a worse regrowth is pretty strong. Regrowth is a high bar to be weighed against.

Underworld Breach is gas. By far my favorite Yawgmoth's Will style card, and a very unique effect for red. Also second Mizzix's Mastery. Usually a red mission briefing effect, but sometimes you reach late game and it becomes a game-win. Mission briefing also a very fun spell for this deck, now...

That is a spicy looking deck, and like you mention, it seems to slot right into the format as a tempo shift on your existing deck. Considering the very high discard density, including the mass-discard from wheels, surly badgersaur seems like a good consideration in the 4 slot. Wheeling away a...

You can also just have a second copy with the back always facing forward in some different type of sleeve and the player can slap it on top as needed.
