    Sets Ten Strixhaven Cards I'm Excited About for Cube! My first CubeCobra article!

    I just posted my first article to Cubecobra! In the article, I discuss my favorite new Strixhaven cards for cube and why I think they could be good. I tried to pick cards that were a little bit more unique (although there were a couple of mainstream cards that I couldn't help but discuss)...

    For what it's worth I don't think your initial comment was particularly toxic. At worst it seemed like a little bit of teasing. While I think there is a broader discussion that needs to be had about our posturing towards the broader Cube community, your post was largely non-offensive.

    I am too, this set is full of great cube inclusions. I think people are mis-evaluating the power level of both the Learn and Magecraft mechanics and treating them like parasitic space killers instead of the dynamic mechanics they are in reality. Even the mono-green magecraft cards look good, and...

    I opened up the testing and includes thread! There are so many great cards in this set, I implore everyone to give them a try. Especially the gold interactive pieces. A lot of people seem to be getting caught up on the wordiness of the casual commander cards and the somewhat daunting space...

    This is a testing/includes thread. Post pictures or a text list using /c with what cards you plan to include and what cards you plan to test. Including: Testing: Just as an aside, I didn't include any of the lesson/learn cards I plan to test or include in my list, since there are a so many...

    The only unfortunate part of the removal in this set is that much of it is Gold, so it makes it a little bit harder for cubes that are trying to avoid multicolor soup or without proper mana fixing. Granted, both of these issues are easy to address. Adding more fixing makes gold cards more...

    General Poll: Shroud & Hexproof

    Neither. They're not getting rid of Hexproof because it's so useful for combat tricks like Dive Down and Ranger's Guile. They're just adding Ward as a means to print creatures that are harder to remove with target removal without being impossible like with Hexproof. I'm not sure we'll see new...

    This is definitely a contender for the best piece of art in the set, which is really saying something considering the high quality of many of the Mystical Archive and Japanese region exclusive artworks.

    This card is really good, and not just because the warlock is wearing a killer outfit! A black Young Pyromancer is surprisingly useful. Black is very removal heavy and will usually be able to trigger this on a regular basis. Sedgemoor Witch seems especially good in discard-heavy Dreadhorde...

    I think we agree about the MDFCs, but you are severely underestimating the power level of the other mechanics in this set.I also have a high powered cube, and Magecraft looks like it is going to be great in mine without requiring any archetype adjustments. I also know people with decks-not-cards...

    April Fools Seat C: Onder-C-Boot

    Well, I think your current avatar is a bit iconic at this point. That said, I like the pun that your name means submarine and the first avatar is a picture of a submarine sandwich, and I think the second avatar looks cool. Of course, the obvious option is to make your avatar your Minecraft...

    This card seems great: Make a 5/4 and wish for a spell? Sign me up!

    General [STX] Strixhaven Spoilers

    I heavily disagree with you on this point. While the limited environment for this set seems to be promoting the casting of large spells, the majority of the cube worthy cards out of this set are efficient creatures and cheap interaction. Of the cube worthy cards I remember off the top of my...

    You could try something like Dinosaurs where your decks focus on making a few large tokens as opposed to an army of 1/1s. Tokens, generally speaking, are not conducive of unclogged boards I'm afraid.

    The big issue with the DFCs from Kaldheim and Strixhaven is that too many of them are wordy. The best thing about the MDFCs from Zendikar rising was that they were flexible and they were simple. If you knew what Tangled Florahedron and Tangled Vale did, you knew how the land side behaved for...

    I think there is definitely enough here to justify a lesson/learn package for some cubes.
