    Sorcery Look at the top three cards of your library. Put one of them into your hand, one at the bottom of your library, then exile the rest. Until the end of turn, you may play the exiled card. This is a gassy draw spell! UR might make it a little tougher to fit into many cubes due to guild...

    That's fair. Even connecting and recasting two burn spells can be very brutal. Something like prophetic bolt + stoke the flames turns 2 damage into 10, and either of those spells can be used to clear the way. Maybe swingy is a little more accurate than pushed. It can be a middling double strike...

    Seems perfect to me. This is a set about going to college; who's going to be more likely to use a line like that than some nerdy college student?

    The {B/G} and {B/R} marsh/mires make sense to me, at least a little bit. Not sure about {U/B}. The dragons in Bloodstained probably decomposed anaerobically, which creates very acidic conditions. Smoldering and Cinder marshes probably have sulfur in the water (sulfuric acid formation), and...

    Wildfire devils who? Seriously though, this is a perfect marriage for ym double strike and spells themes! Could be a bit pushed for certain situations.

    Of all of those, Professor Onyx seems the most interesting to me. Strong draw ability, decent protection ability that isn't adding various tokens, and interesting Ult.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Archon of Emeria has been the perfect self-defeatist in almost every deck I've tried to make a place for it. You almost universally would want the stats of the card in a deck that casts more than one spell a turn regularly, so it ends up just hindering you.

    Spoilers are only taking a week? What happened to two weeks of spoilers? Also, just looking through what We've got now, I haven't seen this MDFC mentioned. I really love this pairing! A spell-first front side (my preferred spells-matter method), and a rummaging burn spell. Neat! Also...

    backdraft hellkite is insane if you untap with it. It casts past in flames on each attack. That's just a ludicrous amount of value, especially since PiF is contained by having to spend mana on it the turn the effect goes off. With the hellkite you get the effect with 0 mana invested on the...

    Even without the Force text, being able to cast it at instant speed makes a huge difference compared to the anthem, adding the entire layer of "combat trick" on top of the normal effects Anthem has. Then of course, it can be cast for free. That stacks up to a quite flexible and powerful card...

    I'd love to see an example deck that Altar goes in. How often is it a wincon, or is it mostly for fueling the deck itself?

    Lol. Common misconception, but it's not Evergreen, it's Evergreen's Monster.

    Working in a company with a nominally similar structure, individuals might have their goals, but everything in the way the company works and in the way management decisions are made revolves around the sales. Theres really no variable that is important to management at the end of the day except...

    Well, for better or worse, they are trying to sell you something. Really their only goal at the end of the day.

    Only after being taught it by a specific teacher and helps them learn it. And it takes them three times the effort, with what looks like some sort of basin probably helping + allowing for generic mana usage. Seems reasonable to me.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    not a great card. You can kinda "combo" it, but only with other draw spells. I can't see many decks that want or even need that kind of effect. Like, bygone bishop is going to do a lot more work for the average white deck in both achieving the decks' primary missions and in helping fuel the...

    you can search by devotion, which broadens things a bit, but still sticks you into a certain slice of the pie: devotion:{u/w}{u/w}{u/w} cmc:3 the above for example gives you a fairly broad selection of 3 pip cards in U and W, though mostly hybrid and monocolor. Doesn't do well with {R}{W}{W}...

    General Introducing the Cube Map – find out how your cube fits within the Cube Universe!

    This was an interesting find while idly perusing cube names (the average one, not the guild one) It seems that the middle of Cubanica corresponds with "average" selections of cards, which seems to play out when checking out a few other cubes in that bright green cluster. Aspects of RTL cubes...
