Nope, the other way round, but both are very important to make the game fun for all kinds of people (what we have to do as cube managers). But I don't think mutate will make my gameplay better, like at all. Maybe a few cards would be decent in that regard, but there are other ways among the...

But Werebear has just one without the old frame, art and especially the flavor text, which is worth more than any messy new mechanic ;)

Cache Riders is sweet. I'll test Mastermind first, but it is the next one on my list for the future. Thanks guys!

Mutate feels messy and inelegant, and also not appealing as a mechanic. But some of the designs, like the octopus, seem really cool. The reason I don't put it into my cube is the unnecessary non-human clause. I expect my newer players not to think of this all the time, when they arr already...

Hm, I think I'll try the vedalken mastermind. Not tempoing poor opponents and being easier to answer could be the difference I want. Thanks guys!

Everything seems so pushed in Ikoria: Lair of Powercreep. It speaks volumes that the cards that interest me the most currently are 3 commons from the last day drop. I've never had soo many "that's too pushed/efficient for my cube"-moments going trough a full spoiler. Neither mode is good...

While I agree, that bouncing demonic pact is a huge bonus point, I'm actually not sure about the instant speed. It's one of the things that makes crystal shard a tad too annoxing and a reason why I consider replacing it. But on the other hand, he's easier to kill as a creature with 2 toughness...

I'm trying to support monocolor decks (alongside two- and threecolored ones), so I'd stay away from a mana base, that reduces the opportunity cost of taking fixing to almost nothing.

I am loking for a more fair Crystal Shard in blue. Which one can you recommend? Portal of Sanctuary Vedalken Mastermind

Shouldn't the full spoiler be up today?

Just wanted to call back, this gem has been suuuper good for us in just 3 tests. So easy to get a 2 for 1 out of it, and there are nice tricks with first strike on deathtouch or lifelink. It's soo gonna stay.

This is actually the first card I could actually see myself freeing a slot for. I mean, it is not even limited to once a turn, so it could be good right? I mean in a ramp deck, you could threaten tons of trample damage, and in an aggro deck, would he be that much worse than, let's say, a Jungle...

My pal has her in his cube with great succes, as shes pretty strong on her own. His themes are just GW Enchantments and GU Proliferate though.

I have two questions regarding this crazy card: Gift of Doom 1) Do you think it is good? (I support sacrifice and morphs/combat tricks are relevant) 2) Would you count it as black or colorless?

Welcome onboard! May I ask what you're other 3 cubes look like and why you are crazy enough to make 4? :P I'm already really busy with my 2! PS Mother of Runes is not modern legal!

Damn power creep has never been realer than in Ikoria. A splashable 3/3 for 3 with a huuuge upside? I'd cube it maybe as a 3/1 or at 1WW.

Oh, I thought Velrun, but appears he's from our northern neighbours country :)

Wow, that would be already 3 germans in this forum. Also, that Octopus is half a ninja, it just doesn't tell you. Sucks though, that they had to add that stupid non-human clause.

Well thaaat is interesting, especually if you don't have to sac it. Goes right into the Drake Haven/Improbable Alliance decks!

I'm a bit sad how many cards already got strictly outclassed in this spoiler season: Naturalize Break Asunder Scrap Shatter Explosive Vegetation Coastal Piracy And while those are all spells, the creatures shout "power creep" even louder at me.
