Yeah, I was just about to say, holy shit, this card. The mythics are definitely better, but this card is the one that makes me feel old, lol. A 3/2 for 2 with upside? And a lot of upside? The problem is, as offensive as I find that to my personal 'fair magic' sensibilities, I kind of like it a...

Think of it this way: it draws you a 5-mana 5/6! I love the consistency and consider that an upgrade.

Thanks for the suggestions! How could I have made a cube without Chart a Course? For shame.

NEW JOB POSTING! APPLY NOW! WANTED: THREE TO SIX DISCARD OUTLETS JOB REQUIREMENTS: --Let me discard cards --No, seriously, that's it --While most competitive candidates hail from the Jund shard, here at LunchCo we believe that diversity is a strength, especially among our robotic bretheren...

Force of Virtue is always my go-to. If you're into this kind of thing, Relief Captain can do a decent anthem impersonation. +1 to Angel of Invention.

I love Grusilda, and she's definitely strong. You get a free build-a-baneslayer every turn, no cards needed, and you can even take from other players' graveyards. You need to have appropriate removal to make her viable, but she's so much fun. Cannot recommend highly enough. It's worth noting...

Maybe those at the Primarch+ power level would be best represented as Planeswalkers? Alternatively, you could have them appear on non-creature cards a lot--Blessing of Gork and Blessing of Mork could be a sweet pair of enchantments. Of course, for lore you could just say that this is a...

I think that Slaanesh could fit pretty well as RB, tbh. You could flavor the Dark Eldar as WRB and the Eldar as UG, if you're okay with being cute about it. This would also help out your color balance as currently your only occupants of Green are the Tyrannids and the Orks. T'au could also fit...

If you like hard scifi, then you'll like the world of The Expanse. It's probably the most "realistic" show of its type running now in terms of worldbuilding, so if that's what determines your taste in shows it'll certainly do so here. However, I don't think that that makes it any more of a...

Yeah, there's absolutely no way they'd get rid of Ninjutsu, lol. It's the most beloved mechanic from the set, and its telling that they've printed another half-dozen Ninjas, like two cards with Splice very recently, and absolutely nothing with Channel, Sweep, or even Bushido (edit: they just...

Compounding this problem, there are a bunch of fine-to-great Artifact Creatures and approximately only five Enchantment Creatures that work at the power levels most cubes strive for (Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, Courser of Kruphix, and a handful of the Gods, notably). Bestow helps a bit, but the...

Way off topic, but @ravnic I think we love a lot of the same things about the world. In my basic lands box, I have 40 lands of each type, 10 each of 4 different arts. Kamigawa is the only set with a land in each color for precisely that reason...

No, sorry, I'm not talking about the money they make at all. I'm talking about Wizards's willingness to try new things. If the price of making good new things is making a lesser number of bad new things, I'm okay with that, and I'd rather that they continue to experiment rather than fade away...

Sure, but they have to make money somehow and I'd rather they do this (edit: continue to offer products that appeal to a wider range of audiences) to find the (edit: guarantees of) financial success they need to keep the game innovating (edit: trying new, radically adventurous mechanics and...

I dunno about you all, but I'm straight-up jazzed for all of these. Unfinity is the one I have the most questions/doubts about, but frankly if there's anything I trust Wizards to do right at this point it's Un sets. Kamigawa has me especially excited because it was my first set. I loved how it...

Shard Volley This card is just bad, right? It's not a decent pickup for a lands deck or anything? For context, my average burn spell is {1}{R} for 2 damage and upside at sorcery speed. It almost seems decent in this context as a Bolt but only in the late game.

Pack it in, we've found something too strong for @blacksmithy 's cube. /s :texas: <3 In all honesty you're absolutely right, but I feel like the line between "good" and "absolutely busted" is really, really close with squadroning this one. Two might be the sweet spot, especially if the...

Haven't played with it in Cube, but it's really nice in constructed. I guess the biggest question is not whether to squadron it when you include it but how many you plan to squadron when you do. I'd expect that your cube could handle 4 or more. Heck, for you the right answer may be to only offer...

Can I interest you in a Delina, Wild Mage?

For sure, paying {2} to cycle is a fine rate for non-explicitly-cycling decks, but if you're in a deck that's actively trying to cycle as much as possible I feel it becomes prohibitively expensive to do so at that rate until you have 6+ lands in play, at which point you are usually solidly in...
