For those wondering why Mystic Speculation is in the 3 cmc column; it's a custom (Reevaluate) that costs {2}{u} and does Mystic Speculation + investigate, but instead of buyback it returns to your hand at the beginning of your upkeep like old Squee does. Also, Guttersnipe is a custom as well...

Here, I did another one! First picked Demonic Tutor, picked up Winding Constrictor soon after, ended up with only two creatures that use +1/+1 counters, but it's still worth it I feel. Accidentally left in the Hardened Scales on CT, but that should definitely be a Martial Coup, which lets me...

That fills my heart with gladness! :D I'm guessing you don't have a paid account on CubeTutor then? That would allow you to upload custom scans, but it does cost you $5 a month. I run enough customs that I'm very happy with the option, but I can imagine it's a bit much if all you have is Swords...

Did a bonus draft of Aston's. This cube is much higher power than I'm used to, playing cards I consciously cut from my own cube over the years in order to achieve a more even power band. I find it kinda hard to navigate. So, let's do it again! P1p1 Birthing Pod, doing it! Then Metamorph...

Drafted Aston's. See Sword of Fire and Ice pack one and automatically think "Ugh." to myself. I once lost a really shitty Modern Masters draft to that card, simply because I happened to be blue red, so I've turned pretty sour on the Swords. Those are my personal feelings towards the card though...

Meren is really good in sacrifice decks, but from experience (ha!) she can be super oppressive in a deck that has multiple ways to recur her.

Order! That Vengevine won't return to the battlefield if you discard those cards like this :) That's a ridiculously good turn 3 though. Attacking for 12 on turn 3? Eesh!

Drafted Rowan's! P1p1 was one of my favorite cards ever: Rise from the Tides. With the win condition determined, all I needed was to pick up spells, but I got distracted by a p1p3 Tatyova, Benthic Druid. But then I thought, ramp spells are spells too! And then I picked up a Courser of Kruphix...

It's always so cool to see old designs (in this case Leyline Angler) pop up in other people's cubes! This "I made that!" feeling is the best :) I do wonder if Yahenni's Expertise isn't a bit too ambitious. Double black with only six black mana sources, seven if we count the Farseek? Isn't the...

I'm guessing Triskelion was replaced by Walking Ballista in that format?

I do think those are both more fair in a lower power environment (heck, I run both myself), though it depends on how much +1/+1 counter interaction you have. If you run counter doublers like Winding Constrictor or big fast mana like Gaea's Cradle and Sol Ring they become a lot scarier. I don't...

But if that's what you're looking for, I would play these over the exert guy. Furyblade Vampire Ravenous Bloodseeker

Easy Burning-Tree Vandal, it can get a sneaky attack in thanks through haste, and exerting for card filtering seems silly. The real question is, how does the Vandal stack up against Reckless Racer? Because I tested that card, and it kinda sucked.

Both of those are pretty busted in a lower power environment though.

rhythm of the wild Murderous redcap Goblin bombardment (First card is Rhythm) Turn four kill, in Peasant cubes even!

It's such a steep price to pay though, when {w/b} also has things like Vindicate and Mortify that vastly outclass it at only one more mana.

Couple of interesting cards left. Not sure that these are impactful enough, but the Goblin looks good with equipment. Very nice Raging Goblin variant. Undercity Scavenger puts a pretty big body on the board, that might just be good enough in combination with the scry 2. I have less faith...

If you want a more permanent effect, there's always: torrent of souls Also targets your own graveyard, so you don't need a cooperative opponent ;)

Instant though, that etb creature can act as a surprise blocker! A pretty good one too with the +2 power!
