I always laugh at how much they "balanced" balance with Magus of the Balance. Most of the Magi have activations equal to the card in question, but they must've thought that this Magus went a little far. If it still had the equivalent cost, I might've taken a closer look at it.

Moved the fetches, and it did seem to help a bit more. For whatever reason 2 color bots are still pretty bad at picking lands, but three color decks seem to be doing at least a mediocre job of staying in their colors. I was seeing fetches pretty late in packs in my test draft (like later than...

I think moving the lands helped! Still have some greedy ass bots, but they seem better at picking lands that actually benefit them (better lol, not 100%). Here's a Jund deck a bot made, and besides flooded grove, these lands are pretty good selections by and large: And no lands in the SB that...

I know! Has anyone tested moving all dual lands into the multicolored sections? Maybe the draft algorithm would treat them like truly azorius cards for Hallowed Fountain, dimir for Watery Grave, etc. If not I might try at some point. The draft bots are at least reasonably normal when it comes...

My new cube is a surprisingly big departure from the original. that may partly be simply because Sigh, A Cube is outdated by 3 years. Seems like despite the different color wheel, I'm rubbing elbows with Onder, and on my way down to Graveyard Isle where Inscho is.

Still a couple random cards missing from MH2. I sent the devs an email. Also asked when they plan on fixing draft bots lol. Seems like a fair set of lands for one (one!) UB deck to take..... a grand total of 1 of these actually matters to their deck...

only one way to find out for sure! I think it's a little overbearing for what I want. I am leery of "free" spells in general. One recursion spell that it feels a little gross with is persist. The applicable blink suite widens quite a bit if you hard-cast it, or once you recur it the first time...

I've definitely noticed the increase qualitatively. While I feel it's virtually inevitable as they work to maximize the number of products leaving the shelves, I do still find it frustrating. We basically meld from one spoiler season into the next with little to no break.

Lucid Dreams is a decent option that just got printed, for a power level that can handle tidings with possible down- or upside. But yeah overall it's a design space that hasn't been explored much. ??

A perennially underrated (IMO) "cantrip" that does wonders for lots of things GY, but definitely for delirium, in the same vein as faithless looting: careful study

Now that you show it, yeah I'd def recommend Tarfire over Seal of Fire for delirium purposes Or "both"

Agree. Delirium (unless you really stretch the cube design to purposefully fit it) is going to be an ability that your GY decks can utilize, much the same as delve, flashback, etc. If you do run delirium cards, it is nice to make sure deckbuilders have some options to make it as achievable as...

For sure! It just competes semi-directly with Pyrite Spellbomb, which meshes with a more supported archetype (artifacts.dec) and also offers a colorless card draw mode. I think many cubes would find it more prudent to run the spellbomb if only given one slot, unless artifacts have no format...

I run some incidental support for delirium (that is primarily support for other things) and have found that generally that kind of specific support can be quite low in numbers since there is a very straightforward route to delirium via Creature + Instant + Sorcery + Land. So I, for instance...

Besides that, it just works really well in a tutoring role for a wide variety of build arounds or spells needed in the moment. Sometimes fetching out Murder or just some random beefcake (Timeless Dragon is 5 cmc!) is the correct play in that moment.

Wall of Omens just a nobody then? ;)

All Suns' Dawn is a pretty gassy BtL target, so I guess add that to the reasons to run. Living Death as blacksmithy mentions is also a great BtL target.

I think it can be comparable depending on supported archetypes. Hard Evidence is a spell, so triggers on anything that cares about spells, which Inspector doesn't (magecraft, prowess, young pyromancer effects, etc), and is in blue, which is often a better supported artifact color. I would take...

I'm pretty tempted by Brainstone. Obviously less efficient than the spell version, but gives the unique functionality to any color besides all the neat stuff you can do with scrap trawler, emry, etc.

I swapped out Chandra's Pyrohelix, which was a pretty easy swap tbh (and coincidentally close to blacksmithy's selection). Firebolt was never on the table for me for being swapped.
