No, it's the wrong colors and it doesn't work on the axis storm usually tries to win with (it's payoff is bigger creatures as opposed to direct damage or mill, and storm decks don't usually want creatures). This card's main role is as a curve topper for aggressive Boros decks, where it...

I think Burn decks would be happy to play an ETB tapped land if it drew them an infinite stream of Spikefield Hazards forever. I don't think this card is that good, but I think the decks that could be hellbent are happy to have this effect. The biggest thing stopping this card from being...

So I'll touch on these more when I write down my full analysis of your cube (which is really sweet by the way), but as far as lands are concerned, 40 dual lands just isn't really enough to let decks have consistent fixing at 475, especially when some of the cycles are extremely slow like the...

I wouldn't call that a betrayal of the theme, but I would worry about people trying to play actual non-black decks if this were a change I were to make if I were in charge of the black cube. Right now, there's no reason to play a deck without black cards. However, if something like Sphinx's...

How about the cover for Legends: A Visual History?

I've drafted this cube a few times now. There are a lot of really cool concepts at play here, but also a few structural things which could potentially spoil some drafts for some people. It's evident that you've put a lot of time and effort into this list, which is good to see. I'd like to do a...

Smashing is one of the best MDFCs in general, and all MDFCs are good in cube. Even the bad ones. I think stuff like Akoum Warrior is better than something like Flamekin Village, because even thought the warrior isn't great, it's never just a land like Village.

Balduvian Trading Post Yes or No?

In cube, space is usually going to be too tight at most power levels since there are so many good 3-drops between Burn Spells and Rabblemaster Variants. Even cubes that avoid rabblebois probably aren't looking to play this since there are so many other good 3's. This card does have some...

I think this is actually a fun inclusion. While it can lead to a somewhat repetitive loop when it comes together, the chances that both cards survive without getting countered or nuked is pretty low. This is not like Pack Rat. Oketra's Monument is a good board advantage engine for White decks...

This is very true! A lot of the most interactive and elegant cards WOTC has printed look pretty uninteresting on their face, but are actually just good cards in practice. And anyway, blade is really strong. It's hardly a 9th pick. I'd say it goes somewhere in the middle of the pack, probably...

This is the actual Kaldheim preview thread, not a leaks thread. That can be found here. Ironically, these spoiler cards are actually leaks, but since these are the official box art for the Kaldheim commander decks, I felt starting the official thread would be prudent. I retrieved these from a...

That sounds really cool! I'll hav to check it out when I have a chance :).

I wouldn't know, I always hand select the printing which reflects what is actually in my cube.
