I don't actually think this is a weak card. It feels like an aggressively slanted Seasoned Pyromancer. It's a little worse in certain regards (it can't just draw two cards when you play it without an empty hand, and it doesn't do anything with tokens), but it's also a bigger, hasty attacker that...

Eshki Dragonclaw She's a baddie, right? I really want to combine this card with Mishra's Bauble, Lotus Petal, Gitaxian Probe, and Gut Shot et al., as that would allow for immediately triggering this gal on turn four. Technically, you can do it on turn three with the Lotus Petal! I think this may...

Usman and I talked about this briefly in our Aetherdrift Cube Review Cube Engineers Episode. This core of cards may be good enough for high-powered environments! I definitely think you could do something cool with it here, especially in conjunction with some classic Blink enablers and payoffs in...

This is far and away one of the most stylish cards in the set in my opinion. This is exactly what a White Mardu card should feel like! I'm surprised, this card feels less like a "made for Commander" card than the actual main set Zurgo, Thunder's Decree. If I end up using a Zurgo to round out...

Come on now! Calling Rakshasha's Bargain an abomination is like saying chocolate cake is just a glorified mud pie. Have you ever tried embracing the absurdity? It's like slapping on a pair of goggles and diving into a pool of chaos—refreshing and ridiculous all at once! If I’m an...

While I appreciate the passionate defense of your feelings, I must firmly stand by my assessment of stylishness. You see, declaring a card uncool based solely on its two-brid mana cost feels like a soggy baguette at a French café—completely out of place! And let’s not kid ourselves; dismissing...

Luckily Rakshasha's Bargain is an undeniably stylish card, regardless of one's feelings on twobrid mana. I hope they're able to make the whole cycle this cool!

It looks like WOTC was inspired by my customs! Cool to see a version of Genome on a real card! (Thanks @Onderzeeboot for pointing this out!)

Finally, an Elspeth card that lives up to the Sun's Champion! I think it's funny this one also dunks on her format's Siege Rhino equivalent!

I wonder if they will reprint Form of the Dragon?

I also forgot about Ketramose, who is seeing some play in WB Midrange in Modern at the moment. Still, this set’s impact is reasonably small compared to the number of cool Cubeables in the set!

Interesting thought: is the fact that recent sets have so many cool cards people want to Cube with really a problem with modern design? You mention how Aetherdrift is a set you both dislike but also has a relatively large number of cards that you're giving a whirl in your Cube. And yeah...

WOTC keeps previewing stuff that is tangentially related to Dragons, but aren't actually Dragons themselves. They're telling us to Behold a Dragon without giving us any Dragons to behold! Oh well, at least there's always Rith, the Awakener.

I feel like they would be pretty similar in power level. Flying is usually stronger than Prowess outside of dedicated Prowess decks. If the base creature had Prowess, it would be a stronger Constructed card, but I think they would be somewhat comparable in limited.

A Doomed Traveler that makes a Monk token would be super cool. It would be awesome if the base creature also had Prowess!

I honestly don't have a lot to say with this one, These are Elspeth and Ugin. Elspeth was confirmed today via an Art preview and Ugin was confirmed back when the "Tarkir: Dragonstorm" name was announced. I think these "decayed" counters may actually be giving creatures the decayed keyword...

10/10 deck no notes.

Stormplain Detainment I wonder if an Elspeth and Narset team-up Banishing Light is something I should be looking at for my Cube?
