I even missed a set full of nonsense in there! M20 continues the trend of Core Sets being gold mines for Cube playables and interesting designs but also managed to break a few formats for the hell of it M20 Ancestral Blade: Living weapon lives! A great pickup for artifact aggro stuff in...

Doom Foretold Has anyone run this yet? It appeared in a cool artifact Stax deck in Standard and it may be a nice gold signpost card for Stax archetypes in Cube

I love my (large adult) wayward son

Time for a long overdue set review! There have been some momentous releases in the last few months. We have a set that's completely full of random bullshit that should never be printed and also Mystery Booster: MYSTERY BOOSTER CUTE KITTY but more importantly it's another 2/1 that improves...

Everyone else won this weekend but luckily I won something too (in Standard no less)! Ones 4 Gilded Goose Twos 4 Paradise Druid 1 Leafkin Druid Threes 4 Oko, Thief of Crowns Fours 4 Wicked Wolf 2 Vraska, Golgari Queen Fives 1 Voracious Hydra 4 Hydroid Krasis 4 Nissa, Who Shakes the...

a tale of failure and redemption! I started 10-0 at SCG Indy but the wheels came off and I punted my win-and-in on camera. There was a good chance that could have cost me my Players' Championship slot so I really needed a good finish at Regionals to stay in it: I thought I was...

Batterskull How obnoxious is this? I cut it years ago after a tragic session where it bricked my scary aggro deck by itself and haven't tried it since then. It's the worst offender for all my usual criticisms of equipment: you just put it on something (it barely matters what!) and it takes...

Was preparing a writeup for my thread about Balance so may as well post it here!

Skullclamp Has this survived for any length of time in any of your Cubes? It famously was #1 on LSV's list of most overrated cards in Vintage Cube, which was fair but only because Vintage Cube is designed to be as unfair in other (and more unfun, IMO) ways as possible. The problem with most...

I like Bishop quite a bit since the extra toughness and Flying is a substantial upgrade over just being a 2/2 and my white creature decks often want to return/replay creatures (Glint Hawk/Kor Skyfisher/Stonecloaker) so you can rack up Clues easily

I've always been attached to: Celestial Crusader

I'm really glad to have Thrill to round out the red rummaging suite and the instant speed is enough of an upgrade to Tormenting Voice that the choice between it and Cathartic Reunion is much starker now (it was already a real choice but I don't know how many drafters would recognize that)

This legendary interlude is profoundly uninteresting! Mystic Sanctuary + Time Warp is hot

Even without tinkering too much with your UR section it's fairly easy to build a deck where Alliance triggers at least once per turn cycle. An intriguing card for sure (a mini Locust God!)

Metalwork Colossus buy yours now

Survival of the Fittest An iconic card that can do some crazy things but also lead to highly repetitive sequences or a feeling of helplessness when you know they can just find the perfect trump to whatever your plan is at any time. The shuffling is pretty obnoxious too. Is the upside worth it?

Playing against W6 is kinda repetitive by design and it's pushing out the non-blue creature decks which I think need to be playable for the format to have enough variety. The Lands shells are really fun and unique but I'm not sure how good they are. This is only scratching the surface, though...
