    Oh, so you're the reason I can choose Theros Island 236 as the default for all of my cubes... ;) Personally I'm a slightly bigger fan of Island 237 but Island 236 is slightly more humorous.

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    Hey, welcome back! I'd recommend looking at the Testing and Includes threads for the last few sets in order to see what the community is kind of high or low on from a design perspective. Here is the one for Modern Horizons 2 and Here is the one for Strixhaven. I've also been writing some top 10...

    Mordor's Cube (The Ship of Theseus)

    This is exactly how I feel about Halvar, God of Battle. The sword by itself would be a completely playable card, but a lot of that value comes from being a good tutor target for Stoneforge Mystic. Without being tutorable, a good chunk of this card's flexibility is actually lost. I've considered...

    General Fight Club

    Ravenous Squirrel is a much more flexible card than Moldervine Reclamation, and it can act as both an enabler and a payoff in its own right. Furthermore, since sacrifice is only tertiary in green in your Cube, having a card that can be played in mono-black sacrifice in addition to black-green is...

    If you want to capitalize on this card's Panharmonicon mode, you would need several other Wizards and Shamans with triggered abilities (specifically triggered abilities importantly, not activated abilities like with Grim Lavamancer). Looking at your Cube, I only see 3 Wizards or Shamans in red...

    Broken by Technicality: A 360/100 Cube!

    In this Cube, every deck is broken... ...Almost. The idea here is that every deck is trying to do something broken, whether it's cheating on mana, ritual acceleration, or winning with an empty library. The problem, of course, is that every deck is missing a vital piece to make it truly broken...

    I think this is inconsistent garbo if you're planning to put it into Sign, Again(?). This card really wants to be in a Cube with a power level close to that of retail limited. Anywhere else, I think it does way too little for too much mana.

    You're not a has-been, you just took a break! I'm sure you could start writing for one of the big publications again if you did some digging around. Some of the Cube writers they have right now really don't seem to understand the depth of Cube as a medium outside of the MTGO Vintage Cube, so...

    I'm glad you enjoyed the article! Timeless Dragon is probably my favorite card in the set, it just does so much!

    Prismatic Ending I had Prismatic Ending in my prerelease sealed pool, and it over performed my expectations. It was very rare that the ending didn't have a good target, and it was a clean answer to almost everything. While I do worry a little about it's ability to kill larger midrange threats...

    Sets ((Article)) Ten Modern Horizons 2 Cards I'm Excited About for Cube!

    Yeah, it turns out that most of the "exciting" cards in this set are pretty good in general. While a few of the cards I chose to write about get a little disrespect (looking at you, Hard Evidence!), the majority are reasonably good cards to begin with. Thank you! I'm hoping I can help people...

    Having played against this card several times today, I can definitively say that it is a real beating and can provide a lot of value that other cards can't. I think for a slower, low-power cube like yours, this card is a great option, as it will be good without being oppressive.

    In this article, I discuss my ten favorite Cube cards from Modern Horizons 2! Keep in mind that this has less to do with card playability and more to do with why these cards are so dang interesting as compared to the many other options in this amazing set. There's something here for everyone...
