Can't wait for cantripping Kami of Old Stone

Well, it's clearly a step backwards from Inspiring Overseer

the link doesn't seem to work

How does it compare to Ninja of the Deep Hours and Moon-Circuit Hacker? It always draws a Virus Beetle, which is probably worse than most real cube cards, even in mine, but it has deathtouch.

Swarm Saboteur How strong is this card?

Too much ocean and continent between me and that event

If it gave +2/+2 it would be a Vulshok Morningstar with upside. That card is already very good in my format. But maybe +2/+1 would be the sweet spot?

Sword of the Meek A cool way to generate value and tempo in a format full of discard outlets, selfmill and small creatures, or just a fancy Riot Gear? I've never seen this card in a cube, but mine might just be the environment it needs to shine without stupid combos.

Thanks guys, looks like the Shroud is getting the Axe then!

Specter's Shroud Goldvein Pick The fixing powers of the pick matter far less in my cube than in others, but there are artifact synergies.

Great discussion guys, riptiders rock! What I've meant is, that I have more fun playing magic when I have to fight for my value, and when every threat generates card advantage, either by incremental value or by having great etbs worth "draw a card" or more, I feel like, I get more than I've...

Yup. It's quite baffling, that it took them decades to find a good middle ground between "You can't touch this carnage tyrant" and "I trade my terror for your shivan dragon so I'm up 4 mana now".

To me, the terminate test is like a corona test. I usually want to have a negative result there. But in all seriousness, if every threat replaces itself, it kills the whole fun of ressource management. You'll just always have hands full of cards to play, no matter what you do. No more chosing...

Juri, master of the revue Anyone ever tested this guy? Mayhem Devil is a tad too explosive for my cube, so I am looking for the next best payoff and I like that this guy works with fetches and artifacts that sac themselves. Also, decent target for equipment, right?

I like the card quite a bit. The main reason I don't run it is, that I dislike removal spells, that are only for aggressive or, like in this case, only for defensive decks. The advantages of keeping your removal that flexible is, that you need to spend less slots on it and it is easier to track...

This isn't wrong, but cube is still a custom format. So it would maybe be interesting to find out, what determines if edicts are good or bad in a given cube. • Of course (small) tokens make them worse. • Low creature mana value curves do as well. • Also creatures that like to be sacrificed. •...

I think Reckless Impulse is much better than Rob the Archives honestly. Being able to actually play both cardsthe vast majority of time seems crucial to me. And sure, exiling 4 is strong, but how often are you capable of even casting more than one, even in the late game, after that 2 mana you...

Yeah, that's true. Sadly, tokens are so commonplace these days, in my cube at least but I think in other's as well. Go tall strategies like bogles however aren't beloved for a reason. I still like edicts, I think they're a cool part of black's identity and I will try to keep some. I've found...

Diabolic Edict I've learned to love edict effects before I even knew about cube, through formats like legacy and pauper. So I've always progressed with the assumption, that cards like Diabolic Edict are powerful interaction spells, and I've been cubing them since the very beginning pf my cube...
