I think in a slow, low power environment, deprive is definitely a shoo-in to many decks. Maybe a 65% play rate is generous for a non-controlling blue deck, but in a draw-go deck where you just want as many counterspells as possible, I can see it being good. A bad 2-mana hard counter is still a...

Better yet, print these exact cards without the "enters the battlefield tapped" clause and we can finally have budget actual dual lands :D

I think foretell looks super awesome. Mammoth Guy looks sweet. Boast is going to help encourage attacking. Changelings are good to see. The tribes don't seem super bad (although all of the statmonsters everyone is complaining about are mostly terrible except for the Angels). Looks like a good...

Digging Through Time, Part 5 It is finally time to finish this little adventure through the mechanics of the past half-decade. Adventures and Modal Double-Faced Cards have more potential than any other mechanic I have discussed so far to warp my cube environment. However, they are also some...

Last year was a pretty awful year for Cube. Even though a plethora of playable new cards were released, COVID19 related restrictions made it nearly impossible for people to gather and draft. I would be lying if I said the larger cube community didn't make design advancements during this time...

Sea Drake: 5% (0% in a deck with Bounce Lands) Deprive: 65% (95% Draw Go) Living Tsunami: 25%

Are we sure this card isn't from Dragons of Tarkir?

Great compilation as always, Kirblinx!!

Digging Through Time, Part 4 Now that I've established my opinions on the Mechanics introduced during the Theros-Khans era, it is time to discuss the mechanics released in the following sets through War of the Spark. I will only be discussing Format-Warping mechanics or mechanics that I...

Digging Through Time, Part 3 In the previous Digging Through Time segment, I established that I want to make my cube an open-ended experience where decks mirror some of my favorite archetypes from 2014-15. However, I did not go into detail about how I plan to implement some of these themes...

It is absolutely true that the type of card I'm looking for is being printed today- arguably they even exist in greater numbers than back in Mid 2010s because they are no longer meant to be the best cards stealing the show! Rankle, Master of Pranks is a good example of the type of card I like...

Digging Through Time, Part 2 I finally know where I want to take this cube, and I think I know how to do it. I have never enjoyed playing Magic as much as I did back when I first started to get good at the game back in 2014 and 2015. While my enjoyment of the game has not experienced an...

Here's the actual card. I like Squirrel Friend. I'm not sure he's actually good, but I think he looks pretty fun to play with. Maybe I'll make some room for him?

I don't think this card is a good curve topper for aggro because it costs 4 mana and does nothing. An aggro deck is going to have to play more lands than it otherwise want in order to consistently play Endless Horizons. A much better way to ensure white doesn't brick on drawing threats is to...

This Elesh Norn is a fake, the three big giveaways are the paragraph spacing (which is too wide), the "foil stamp" (which is janky), and the art, which was created by an artist known as Zyralynn//Malena Santos and not Daarken.
