Honestly you don't need to go deep on utility for them to be good- if you have landfall and whatnot they are fine for themselves especially because they become big beaters afterwards. If you want to add more powerful utility lands to complement these, I think Inventors' Fair, Maze of Ith...

Some other cool cards that can lead to Simic draw-go style decks: Void Grafter Prophet of Kruphix Fleetfeather Cockatrice Horizon Chimera

I wonder how many equipments one would need in their deck before this card becomes viable. The art on this is too fun to pass up!

How? I just said anyone here would probably already know how to do that. Heck, that's arguably what I'm trying to do with my cube right now! Granted, I'm simply trying to evoke the feeling of a specific standard format and not any one set, but I think the same basic principle applies. There...

I upset some guy on instagram because I said this probably wasn't good in vintage cube. He didn't listen, which is fine, but then he called me close minded and my cube (which he has never even seen) boring. Because I said a 7 mana 6/6 that doesn't immediately do anything was not going to be good...

That's also what I was referring to, I should have been clearer with my verbiage. Sorry for the confusion!

I feel like that's something you'd want to find a larger outlet with which to share. I'm not sure anyone here (who isn't lurking) would really have an issue with making a set cube. Perhaps apply to become a CubeCobra content creator and post it there?

If I remember correctly (which I do because I checked :p) we had like a 9 day back and forth about this. Side note: I love the World Tree. It's a hilarious card.

I kind of like this card. It's like a reverse Tiana, Ship's Caretaker. It's a bit unfortunate that Koll only gives Tokens +1/+1 when they are enchanted or equipped- it would have been nice if he also gave that benefit to normal creatures. Still, he may be a playable equipment lord.

I think in a slow, low power environment, deprive is definitely a shoo-in to many decks. Maybe a 65% play rate is generous for a non-controlling blue deck, but in a draw-go deck where you just want as many counterspells as possible, I can see it being good. A bad 2-mana hard counter is still a...

Better yet, print these exact cards without the "enters the battlefield tapped" clause and we can finally have budget actual dual lands :D

I think foretell looks super awesome. Mammoth Guy looks sweet. Boast is going to help encourage attacking. Changelings are good to see. The tribes don't seem super bad (although all of the statmonsters everyone is complaining about are mostly terrible except for the Angels). Looks like a good...

Digging Through Time, Part 5 It is finally time to finish this little adventure through the mechanics of the past half-decade. Adventures and Modal Double-Faced Cards have more potential than any other mechanic I have discussed so far to warp my cube environment. However, they are also some...

Last year was a pretty awful year for Cube. Even though a plethora of playable new cards were released, COVID19 related restrictions made it nearly impossible for people to gather and draft. I would be lying if I said the larger cube community didn't make design advancements during this time...

Sea Drake: 5% (0% in a deck with Bounce Lands) Deprive: 65% (95% Draw Go) Living Tsunami: 25%

Are we sure this card isn't from Dragons of Tarkir?

Great compilation as always, Kirblinx!!

Digging Through Time, Part 4 Now that I've established my opinions on the Mechanics introduced during the Theros-Khans era, it is time to discuss the mechanics released in the following sets through War of the Spark. I will only be discussing Format-Warping mechanics or mechanics that I...

Digging Through Time, Part 3 In the previous Digging Through Time segment, I established that I want to make my cube an open-ended experience where decks mirror some of my favorite archetypes from 2014-15. However, I did not go into detail about how I plan to implement some of these themes...

It is absolutely true that the type of card I'm looking for is being printed today- arguably they even exist in greater numbers than back in Mid 2010s because they are no longer meant to be the best cards stealing the show! Rankle, Master of Pranks is a good example of the type of card I like...
