Lucky Paper released their Community Set Review Episode and Set Prospective Results! I have a couple of thoughts... 1) The Community is Underrating Battles Obviously battles have been very contentious, but I think they're being ranked a little lower than other cards. For example, Invasion of...

One that ended up being super topical ;)

Blacksmithy has many crazy things in his Cube. He’s a true Balduvian.

Fable was my favorite 2022 card. What else was up there power wise? Minsc and Boo? Some Initiative cards? Ledger Shredder? I could definitely see calling some of the initiative stuff more powerful than Fable, although I think that has more to do with the initiative mechanic than anything else...

Ah but you can do even more with Last Caress. Have you ever considered using it to trigger Gixian Puppeteer, giving you a free life-drain trigger in addition to the life Last Caress already drains? It's basically a cantripping Lightning Helix!

As the behemoth comes to life, you realize that it's Zetalpa, Primal Dawn! Zetalpa, Primal Dawn You line up the shot... You Line Up the Shot Do you... –Aim for the Wyvern –Aim for the Cursed Amulet –Fire a Warning Shot ?

I wouldn't call it garbage. It's much better than Archangel's Light!

You Happen On a Glade Will you: Journey On? –OR– Make Camp?

The actual answer is: Archangel's Light

Don’t forget the best Mythic ever printed: Desert

You could very well be correct! Battles as a card type just doesn’t feel very Eldraine-y to me, but I may be wrong.

I think Juri is better (with fetchlands) but I think dropper is more fun to play with.

Shitposting in a way that meaningfully contributes to the discussion is the Balduvian way.

The Knights are mostly dead at this point as the Court system was destroyed. I'm sure we'll see some Knights in the set but I think Wilds of Eldraine specifically is going to focus more on the fae folk.

The Feasting Troll–King decks?

Zoss, can I try to sell you on Deftblade Elite? I loved this card in my Peasant Cube back in the day, and I think it's a really cool aggressive//weird removal creature that has interesting play patterns in a variety of strategies.

I like them both; I'd actually pick playing these two over the following three. I think the recruitment officer costing 4 to activate makes it feel fine; it definitely does not a "2022 pushed card" when you're playing with it for anything except the fact that it is a Savannah Lions with an...

I agree about Adventure and Battles. I do think we may see battles in the Lord of the Rings set, I think it makes thematic sense there. Ixalan may not have battles since the theme is apparently "underground" and not "tribal fued" like it was last time. I definitely agree battles will not be in...

That can definitely be relevant, although most Cubes don't run enough countermagic to make a tormenting voice variant worth stopping. If you're still looking at this card, I would suggest playing Invasion of Mercadia instead. Invasion of Mercadia This card plays really well, is incredibly fun...

I think part of the problem is that most people don't necessarily have experience building and balancing Cubes that aren't derivative of MTGO Cubes. If your entire perception of what a "Cube" constitutes is derived from seeing gameplay from one Cube and maybe examining some random Cube lists...
