The two best hits from today are: Gnarlid Colony is a new take on the amazing old Kavu Titan and even better gently used Untamed Kavu. Colony is great since it also buffs any +1/+1 counter shenanigans going on in your deck. I think this card is slightly better than Kavu Titan for it's...

Double-faced cards don't really count as a mechanic, since there are so many different ways to transform a card. Search for Azcanta and Reckless Waif have nothing in common save for having two sides. MaRo said in the "Zendiclues" live stream that one of the new mechanics was "a new take on...

I think this cube is quite cool. I would recommend using some non-desert lands instead of some of the "spell deserts." Mill in this cube is entirely enabled by the number of Ipnu Rivulets running around, 13 copies of Ifnir Deadlands means I can always kill most of my opponents creatures, and the...

We have the MaRo game again!! Unfortunately, I'm not actually sure what any of these could be. The fact that "Horror" ended up being a subtype of multiple creatures could indicate a Horrors sub theme in this set. Nahiri seems to indicate that there is a Warrior tribal theme in this set...

Nahiri is making me want to do a Balduvian Trading Post about equipments...

Those restraints get rid of 90% of the cool red cards :p. Akroma, Angel of Fury Akroma, Angel of Fury is both an interesting red card as well as a cool Blink payoff. If she's played face down, her controller can blink her, which causes her to come back into play face up. Charging Monstrosaur...

I think the best thing for you to do would simply be invert Cycling and Blink as your Mono-White//Blue white themes. There aren't any good mono-blue blink enablers barring Ghostly Flicker. Blue's primary purpose in a blink deck is to provide value train card draw and bounce effects which...

I think this set could be a wellspring of cool new cards for Cube, but I'm currently most excited about the prerelease promo: I'm going to have to go out of my way to find a prerelease for this set specifically to get the version of this with the awesome old-school Pete Venters art.

Archfiend of Ifnir is not as easy to make work as Terror of the Peaks. If you test the card, I don't think you'll have issues with it. You're welcome. Building good cubes is hard so I try to share what I know with people whenever I can. As for Sirfunchalot, I'm not really sure what the...

I think Heirloom Blade is definitely the better choice. The main decks that want equipment like this are aggressive strategies. These decks want lower equip costs so they can chain multiple spells or abilities together in a turn. Loxodon Warhammer forces an aggro player to spend an entire turn...

I'm glad my post could be of help :) Archfiend of Ifnir only strafes the line of "too good" at lower power levels when there are lots of free discard outlets running around. Most of your discard outlets are either only able to be activated once, have some sort of cost attached to them, or can...

I wrote a big thing about equipment which talks a bit about these two old gems... Court Homunculus Toolcraft Exemplar ...and I was wondering if any of you have been playing them recently. I don't have enough artifacts to make them work enough to be satisfactory for my power level, but I think...

I just realized I posted this in "Cube Blogs" instead of "Cube Talk." Mods, could you move it please?

Equipment!! Grafted WargearStoneforge MysticSword of Dungeons & Dragons Now that Double Masters has been released, a bunch of the best "equipment matters" cards are getting reprints and becoming accessible for the first time in many years. Gone are the days of $75 Stoneforge Mystics and...

When I look at your green 3 drops, Evolution Sage kind of pops out as being a bit bad. The card is middling in counters decks and middling everywhere else. Your 3-drop slot already has Rishkar, Peema Renegade, which is probably the best counters payoff that slot has to offer. I think you might...

I wanted to stop by and say how nice this cube is looking, especially with the customs! That Ominous Sphinx flavor text is amazing! May I suggest just erattaing all of the cards which only care about cycling (Lightning Rift and Astral Slide being the two big ones) to just caring about discard...

It's good you cut Oracle of Mul Daya, that card is very bad in most cubes. I think cutting The First Iroan Games is a bit of a mistake. That card is a great way for midrange green decks to apply early pressure and re-fuel their hands. While the card can sometimes be blanked by the opponents, I...

Zoss, Welcome to the forums! It's always nice to see some new faces around Riptide, especially when they seem to have good design chops as you do. I think this cube has a lot of cool concepts going on, and there looks to be a lot of strategic complexity when it comes to the gameplay side of...

Brand new Trainz video! I hope you all enjoy!!
