I just think if you attach that Bonesplitter to a 1/1 to get that 3/1 you get a ton of value just by having a decent body to pressure life totals and trade away without going down a card. Ancestral Blade is just the safe spot they settled on I guess. It's a little surprising that BS hasn't been...

Fair. It's an option and I've got nothing against customs in general, but I just prefer using real cards and filling in the holes as things get printed. More fun to solve the puzzle little by little.

Congrats Wadds, good luck! Enjoy the next few months and try to get sleep when you can!

Give me my Enemy BFZ Lands you cowards!

Probably jumps to one of the best equipment at +2/+0, it's just Bonesplitter at that point with the same equip cost. It's solid as is at +1/+1. Being a second copy of Bonesplitter and the token coming in as a 3/1 would have been pretty damn strong imo.

There are a handful of options, most are viable at a lower power level. I do think this card is the shit though: This is the perfect power level for a high end equipment imo. Getting the free equip when it ETBs is clutch in making this a real beating when it lands. The equip cost being a...

She's perfectly average. I don't know if you're actually going to spend much time utilizing the token aspect of it; it reads like a card you just ultimate ASAP to get the most out of. Gameplay patterns aren't all that interesting and I'm not sure which deck actually wants her. I think all three...

The lower your power threshold, the more viable a Landfall archetype is. I don't think you can quite get there at a higher power level, but if your cube is middle of the road power wise you can likely make it work. There are just so many cards that have been printed that interact with lands in a...

Pretty interesting set, didn't see anything too egregiously busted yet as far as cube goes which is good. Seems like they've toned down power level a bit. That said, there are so many cards in this set that just feel bloated. A lot of these cards just don't read very pretty. For every cleanly...

Probably fine? If the swords just end up being a +2/+2 boost in combat and allow for your opponent to still block and interact they're not too bad. It's when you get locked out from doing that due to protection from colors and get to trigger the effects over multiple combats that things get out...

Bring back Elf Supremacist Nissa. Make Magic Great Again.

I definitely prefer these toned down walkers to what they've been churning out over the last year so that's good, but not really feeling either of these options. Neat, but they don't really fulfill any needs for me.

I actually feel like Batterskull is tame nowadays compared to what's being printed on the regular. If you get into a grindy matchup and your opponent can start doing things like bouncing + redeploying in the late game or find a way to blink it continuously it can definitely get out of hand, but...

Opposition is fun for the player using it proactively and getting to draft around it, miserable if you're on the other side. It becomes more fair the higher powered the environment is due to swing-y haymakers and strategies being able to flip games, but that's also just not good gameplay. I...

1) Why do you run blue cantrips? They help to smooth out draws and give early plays to a color that doesn't really establish board presence till the mid-late game. Most U/x decks in my cube tend to care more about card quality than quantity and being able to dig to your high impact cards or...

Ranger-Captain of Eos Ranger of Eos Mystical Tutor Entomb Goblin Engineer I don't really run very many tutor effects, not a fan of going through the motions if there are too many available, but I do like the more narrow ones. The restrictions are what make them interesting and point drafters...

I currently run this as my main fixing suite for cube alongside other offerings: 20 Fetches 15 Shocks (10 Enemy for now) 5 BFZ Lands (Waiting on Enemy Cycle) Mixed Cycle (Manlands + Horizons Cycle) This has worked out pretty well for me. Double fetches I think is a must, it just adds so much...

Please god don't give me more hedron land art. It was cool the first go around, but I'm sick and tired of so many random cards having hedrons in theme. It made a lot of the Expeditions less impressive in BFZ with over-saturation. It's been played out like Bolas's horns were on Amonkhet.

Hydroid Krasis Hadana's Climb Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath Zegana, Utopian Speaker Simic had always been a somewhat problematic guild to design for over the years, but I think it's really shored itself up over the last two years. I've got a minor +1/+1 subtheme going on in Green with the...

I don't think they can hang in a higher power level, I definitely would not run these in my cube. They're neat with certain interactions, but they just don't get there unless you're in a very specific deck. The base bodies are just not something I'm interested in at all. I've played the hell out...
