I love Living Death; it's usually a centrepiece of decks in its own right rather than just a big reanimation spell. Some examples from my Cubes across the years: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/1240945[/url]"] Ones 1 Carrion Feeder 1 Carrion Feeder 1 Cryptbreaker 1 Lovestruck Beast 1 Stitcher's...

Feldon of the Third Path How has the old man been for people? It looked like a home run for me but in drafting on CubeCobra etc I often find myself cutting it from decks that should be the ideal homes for it. I want to love it but I don't want to grow overattached!

COMMANDER LEGENDS I understand the view that it's nice to have a set off after the deluge of goodies we had with Zendikar Rising, especially with COVID hampering our ability to give any new card the audition it deserves. Personally, most of my engagement with Cube has always been theoretical...

Do you think this is less of a problem when the artifact deck is likely to be at least one and probably both of U/R itself? If Dack can nab a random trinket from an opponent that you can then feed to Goblin Welder or whatever, that may even be a point in its favour

Dack Fayden The +1 ability is music to my ears but the -2 worries me - when you get to steal something good, he really does feel like the greatest thief in the multiverse. Is that ability just too swingy, especially in a Cube that wants to host a lot of build-around artifacts?

If this card was in German it would just be one long word

You see Izzet Charm underperforming in a lot of Modern decks because it promises flexibility but isn't good enough at any of those things to make up for its clunkiness (which naturally is a format-specific term: 2-mana can be clunky in Modern, it's cheap in Cube)

ZENDIKAR RISING After a revisit to Ravnica that made me question why I fell in love with Magic in the original Ravnica block, I'm sceptical of this method of phoning in these callbacks that rely on nostalgia. The specific precedent here is discouraging too - Battle for Zendikar was a massive...

Yawgmoth's Will is very hard to use well in my experience and Magus attaches significant costs + weaknesses to it. Magus of the Wheel interests me more because an instant-speed two-mana Wheel breaks the symmetry on the effect enough to feel unique and worthwhile (plus it's great with reanimation...

I'm not sure how easy this is. There's a decent amount of 1-mana instants/sorceries in each colour but they don't always go in the same deck - maybe an aggressive deck can use Berserk with Arcanist to put a OHKO together or a Madness deck can buyback a Firestorm but can those cards coexist in...

Which DFC? Of course it's a baseless assessment if you're not making a specific comparison. The point is that for marginal DFCs, there are existing options that have similar flexibility in practice that don't make the cut for most Cubes and it's worth being mindful on that when choosing which...

One thing that's worth noting is that each colour already has more utility lands than it can realistically afford to play and those are natural competition for these. Take Windbrisk Heights or Mosswort Bridge as an example - usually a good spell at a discount at instant speed AND a land (that's...
