Drafted Cards:

Liliana, the Last Hope This is a great utility card for any black deck at a higher power level but how obnoxious is it?

This sounds brilliant! Can't wait to try it

Yeah I'm not sure where the point about Vintage Cube is going - even there you won't get anything resembling a Vintage deck unless you're very lucky and the other drafters don't know what you're doing, and it's harder for distinct archetypes to flourish in that environment since it's easier to...

There have to be for the hidden information aspect of Foretell to work properly I think. It may still go the way of Morph in Constructed - where there were only a handful of playable cards and a face-down creature in a green deck was always Den Protector/Deathmist Raptor etc

When I draft your Cube I always feel the graveyard stuff is deep and enticing. I just drafted a pool that could support two different flavours of the same deck (RUG with Rielle etc was another option but lack of fixing limited that) UG: https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/5ffef8593227c4089e46a688...

Lands is one of those themes where the cards that care about lands are much better than the lands themselves. Unless you're happy to have cards at the power level of Gaea's Cradle or you want to do wacky stuff with Lotus Field or something, your options are pretty limited beyond the obvious...

There are lots of cards that get a ton of initial hype but don't perform in practice or look good but fight for space with similar cards. Why is ignoring those tradeoffs more constructive?

This one could easily go in the Equipment Matters, Boros Aggro etc threads but: Swiftblade Vindicator I'm surprised by how little discussion this card has had given how keen we are to explore those themes and the lack of marquee Boros cards for aggro decks beyond stuff like Figure of...

If I'm trying to put a theme in three colours rather than two, I'm still going to look at each of the three two-colour pairs with the goal of making them feel different - so maybe WR Tokens wants to go wide with mass pump effects like Rally the Peasants, RG can sacrifice tokens for some payoff...

I'd rather not have speculation in with confirmed spoilers

This set feels like a practical joke being played on me. I've desperately wanted pushed Changelings at both ends of the curve for a long time, I want just a few more cards for the WR Artifact Aggro deck, and I even tried a UR Treasure subtheme in an attempt to find a theme for that pair I was...

Still a fantastic card!

Sagas are fantastic - the timing of the triggers is a bit awkward but otherwise they are exactly what that kind of multifaceted CA effect should look like. Other than the obvious Blink stuff, effects that can sacrifice them before an unneeded final chapter (Vraska, Golgari Queen or Doom Foretold...

I have mine as earliest printing instead but I get the same problem

The Antiquities WarHistory of BenaliaElspeth Conquers Death As you all noted, Sagas are great - The Antiquities War is strong if you care enough about artifacts (and recently there's a trend of cards that key off both artifacts and enchantments so that crossover is easier) and History of...

I love the Saga art! The 7th one that nobody knows about conveys the theme of the card well but doesn't pop in the same way. The volcano on the Portal one looks good in the old border too

Pack Rat o_O

Just abandon the colour identity concept altogether. It's a somewhat arbitrary relic of EDH from a decade ago that doesn't translate well into Limited and only serves to constrain players' options For more dense cards: Thraben InspectorJadelight Ranger

I've struggled to make any theme work in UR in a way that connects well with the rest of my Cube. Spells matter, artifacts - none of it seems to come together for me. I wish Goblin Welder wasn't such a trap!
