Reasons why The Elder Dragon War is awesome #69420. ...It's a real wood carving! Fantastic work by Filip Burburan.

For sure! He's definitely gotten nicer over the years and I think he's an upstanding individual. I just don't think his Cube prescriptions are all that relevant to Cubes that have different goals than his own. Some people are good at talking about cards and archetypes in contexts other than...

—Insert obligatory anti-Wtwlf statement here– Seriously, though, I think Wtwlf is super out of touch with Cubes beyond his own in 2022. He’s definitely less pretentious than he may have used to be but I think there are better places to find information on the power rankings of various 3-mana...

I really like this battle box so far! Here are my long-awaited ideas. 1)– Deadly Recluse slows down games. A lesson from my box is that deadly recluse can't effectively attack but is also hard to attack into effectively. This means that it can cause a board stall. You're already running the...

Not reading is often Root Greevil

Of course he's the Zodiac Killer 2.0. How did you think he got the pigment for his red paint?

Goblin Offensive

I think it's the fact that he's a legendary character that people know, especially people who have been playing the game for a long time. Man-o'-war is kind of like Venser in that it's one of those cards that used to be really good when the creature base of the average Cube was mostly expensive...

I don't think Barrin was ever good enough, frankly.

This is incredibly comprehensive :pogchimp:

This is a testing/includes thread. Post pictures using /ci or a text list using /c with what cards you plan to include and what cards you plan to test. Since the Commander Spoilers are already done, you may post those cards here as well. I'm likely not updating my Cube again until after...

Speaking of cards with good art... The Elder Dragon War is a fantastic Saga. I've seen some people discuss using this card for reactive midrange and control strategies since it can wipe away aggressive threats from the opponent, provide card selection, and make a reasonable threat in its own...

Because it's a nice picture of an anatomically plausible Allosaurus. Sheoldred's Restoration and some of the sagas might end up being a little better, but Tail Swipe is the only card where the art contributes to me wanting to Cube it outside of just mechanical considerations.

Sorry, Triple Post, here's a reasonable Naya card. I'm a Rith simp so I might test this; it actually gives Naya something interesting to do.

Totally agree. I don't think I'm going to be *playing* a substantial percentage of the cards I think are cool in my Cube, but I am very excited to go to prerelease and draft this set on Arena. Also, a contender for best art in the set:

I think they're different enough that a 1:1 comparison isn't really fair. Fiend Artisan can't grow itself without tapping and squandering other resources already on the board. The Goyf, by contrast, can fuel itself and other graveyard synergy cards for a small one-time mana payment. I think...

Sections are just a way to organize the cards in a Cube and keep the color ratios roughly the same for Cubes looking to have a fairly even distribution of colors. However, because most people tend to use spreadsheets or Cube websites like Cubetutor or Cubecobra to list their cards, they choose...

10/10, no notes, perfect Magic card.
