Claim is a 1-mana instant, but that's about it. If you're in the market for one of these effects, I think Reclamation Sage is better given the toolbox cards it would be run aside.

I just created an MTGSalvation thread for this cube.

Yeah I mean the set's out and people can play with it. The paper print was only delayed thanks to the Virus.

The biggest issue I see with trying to enable this as a deck is the raw inconsistency of it. Although there are a lot of good {X} spells, you can't run too many in your cube because they're not usually that effective until being cast for higher values. A spell with X in it's cost is rarely less...

This card is not better than Pain Seer at being a dark Confidant beyond the first attack in my opinion. This card is a slightly better attacker than the other confidant variants on account of having menace, and it doesn't dome the player for as much every time it draws, but it is also just far...

Reasonably speaking, you're rarely going to have a perfect 1-2-3 curve. For aggro, you just want to be using your mana as efficiently as possible. A 1-2-2&1, or a 1, 1&1, 3, or even a 1, 1&Tapland, 3 curve is completely reasonable. It's not ideal to miss a 1-drop but there are definitely hands...

I just realized something really cute about Changeling Outcast. Changeling Outcast I've been running this card for a little while now since it's a 1-drop zombie for my tribal zombies and black aggro decks. However, the Changeling mechanic means that this card also is technically an Army. Which...

I don't think you will screw up anything if you spread cycling cards into every color. Here are some good non-esper options. Viashino Sandsprinter Solar Blast Shredded Sails Slice and Dice Sanctuary Smasher Rooting Moloch Quakefoot Cyclops Lava Serpent Go for Blood Drannith Stinger Deem Worthy...

I love cycling as a mechanic. If you want the cards that only trigger off of cards that cycle to be approximately as good as they are in Ikoria limited, you're going to need ~60 cards with cycling to get your as-fan ratio to a similar state. If you manage to do that though (which isn't hard at...

Well this is interesting... I'm excited! :D

I totally agree with you. I've seen people mutate onto creatures enchanted with Pacifism just to get the previous mutate triggers. That's how strong a big stack can be :confused:.

I've been running Elixir of Immortality for my current cube's entire lifespan, and it's been a fine card for shuffling things back in. It's definitely worth the slot if you need a shuffle-back effect.

Simic has always been the shallowest guild in terms of playable gold, split, and hybrid cards, and it continues to plague the guild section to this day. Luckily, there are a couple of newer cards that can help shore up the section's hybrid weakness. Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner A good engine piece...

I've spent a good portion of today watching Ikroia streams and VODs, and I must say, this limited format looks pretty fun! I still don't think mutate is going to be a good mechanic to just slot into a pre-existing cube environment, but I think it could be a pretty fun mechanic to build a cube...

Here's what I had to add for everyone who is interested...

Well, I like the idea of Recursion for Orzhov. Both black and white have a lot of cards that excel at pulling creatures out of the graveyard. Of course, the strongest reason for including this deck is soon to be released in Ikoria: Lurrus is borderline broken in vintage power level...

So we have two god-tier magic players on this site. Good to know.

Arg I literally just read your review a few hours before posting that too. Oops. At least we have similar feelings about the card :p. I don't think it works with Genesis, but yeah it's very sweet with Phyrexian Reclamation, Tortured Existence, or something similar. Yeah, I think Yidaro is at...

What are our opinions on this guy: He's basically swole Charging Monstrosaur with cycling. I was originally looking to ignore this card because he shuffles back into the deck and therefore is not a self-enabling reanimation target, but then I realized that it's just a kind of decent card...

I think our cubes are of a comparable power level (although you run a couple of planeswalkers I would not play). I run Syr Konrad, the Grim and he is very powerful in Black-X midrange and especially Black-Green Dredge. If you're still running a Multiplayer focused environment, then I would...
