    On the base of raw power level this one might seem easy ... Stitcher's Supplier Eye Collector ... but while the Supplier is obviously much better at fueling dredge, the faerie has some legs in other archetypes too, as a Suntail Hawk is totally serviceable for aggro decks in my environment...

    General "Lower-Powered" Pivot Cards

    Some of my favorites Mire Triton Supports lifegain and dredge, is great roadblock for control decks and works as a 2-powered, pseudo-evasive dork for ninjutsu or other aggressive decks in my cube. Martyr of Dusk For the boros gowide decks it is two bodies in a cheap package. For the...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Well, I already run basically all the cheap, free madness enablers in the archetypes colors ({R} and {G}). Of course a Wild Mongrel will always be better than something with a 2-mana activation cost, but I am sticking to singleton and there are only so many of these. Luckily, I am not restricted...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I feared that. But the importat part is not the pump/on-board-trick, but the "aggressive" discard outlet. Interesting that you mentioned Deepwood Drummer, Onde, do you think he has really more chances to play well? And is he better than this guy? Stampede Driver My problem with the Driver is...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Narcissism Could this card be solid in an aggressive madness deck, as it will probably make blocking really, really akward? It also generates some extra damage and is a hard to remove discard outlet. I wish it cost 2, but maybe I'm undervaluing it's impact?

    Oh, Ruin Raider is probably just what I've been looking for. It doesn't directly reward you for hitting, but it still rewards evasive attacks, as those are easier to make to trigger him without risking your creatures wellbeing! And I totally forgot about Raid. Mardu Skullhunter wouldbe the next...

    I'm looking for back cards that reward you for attacking with small evasive creatures. I already run all the ninjas that fit my power level and I'm looking for some potential pseudo ninjas in that regard. Blue has many sweet ones like ... Tandem Lookout Ophidian Eye Reconnaissance Mission...

    Thanks guys! I think I like Elephant Guide/Boar Umbra more for a straight up aggro deck, but Moldervine Cloak is probably appealing for greater variety of decks. If the +3/+3 for 3 appears to be something really good for my environment, I'm coming back to find a winner between these two!

    How would you rank these and why? Elephant Guide Moldervine Cloak Boar Umbra Main purpose is applying pressure as a hasty 3 drop in aggressive decks, but also be good enough to be tempting for more midrange-y stuff.

    Despite that being true, is this card maybe just a cubeable solo payoff? Savai Thundermane It is a 3/2 for 2, which is always playable in aggro - and it's in the best aggro colors. And really how many cyclers do you need before this lion becomes good in more modrange-y decks? Maybe four? One...

    General Companions, Yay or nay?

    Had my first encounter with Lurrus in Draft. Incredibly frustrating. He just kept bring him back to bring nack his 2 drops and that annoying drain 2 scorpion.

    General Companions, Yay or nay?

    I'm just leaving some likes here and a short form of my opinion: Companions are the worst mistake in the history of Magic, worse than Affinity and Dredge even. For my Cube, I'd consider them if they were just french vanillas with okay bodies. Like Lurrus without his recursion ability.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    It was super fun for all 6 people (we're living in one household, so meeting is no problem to corona). We played 5 rounds and the dredge player only went 2:3 in the end. Gurzigost hit exactly the sweet spot of being strong enough to excite but not being oppressive or outclassing anything a well...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I hyped Gurzi quite a bit and he became a meme in my playgroup even before testing. Then yesterday, the durdliest player of my group (he loves 3 hour rounds where at least one player decks himself), abused him in his dredge deck. And boy was he good. The guy emptied his entire deck and always...

    I don't think cycling matters still counts as small package. You need a high enough density fir these to naturally end up in decks, abd excluding all looting/rummaging spells and wild mongrels doesn't help exactly.

    Great suggestions guys! What do we think of this one: Spirit Cairn it's not strictly worse than drake haven but still quite a bit. Is it better or worse than Faith of the Devoted?

    I'm currently working a cycling/looting theme into my cube. I already have these payoffs: Drake Haven Improbable Alliance I'm thinking about these: Faith of the Devoted Glint-Horn Buccaneer All they need are draw/discard effects. Great cycling spells are available in all colors. For discard...

    I have to carry my low power card spotlight over he, as it ran into a challenger: Memory Leak Unburden Is the lower cycling cost enough to make up for the non-existing card advantage in Memory Leak compared to Unburden? I know it's also targeted discard, but in general I think Mind Rot is a...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    This card just caught my eye: Memory Leak Is cycling for 1 and the ability to graveyard hate enough flexibility to make this card worth it in a low powered cube environment? My gut says yes. Did anyone already play with it, in cube or retail limited?

    Tatyova, Benthic Druid My favorite Simic card probably. Solid enough on it's own and a great poster child for a {G/U} Landfall theme.
