That's what I was thinking as well. I hadn't seen Trollbred discussed anywhere so I didn't know if there was something about it I was missing. I think it's just a better card regardless of archetype support. I could see it, although I don't think it is as good as most of the other green 4s...

Tuskguard CaptainVSTrollbred Guardian These cards share a similar role in the +1/+1 counters deck- giving trample to the team. Captain comes down earlier but is slower to function on it's own. Guardian comes down later but has a more respectable body and can be used more aggressively. Thoughts?

I'm not sure I'm following- could you provide some examples?

I think we are more likely to see afflict than eternalize, if we even see the eternals at all. This set might literally involve the Gatewatch trying to blow up the Planar Portal again...

What if Bolas added a "Jace Fail-Safe" of sorts to his lackeys? He obviously knows Jace is a threat, so maybe Bolas has a contingency plan in place to stop the meddling mind-mage. The WOTC story has been so predictable up until now that I feel a twist like this would add a more interesting...

Frankly, it depends on what you're doing with it. If you just want it as a 3 mana 5/5 when you get to the late game, it's ok. I think it gets much better when you can take full advantage of it's "you may play an extra land each turn" effect. However, you will need to be able to hit those land...

Binding Mummy What is the As-Fan of zombies one would need for this to be decent?

Jason, make this a front page article! This is probably the best and most helpful piece of literature I've read about cube design in about a year. Everyone needs to see this.

Fires of YavimayaVS. I think Rhythm is probably just better than fires. It provides more flexibility in terms of creature stats and has the nice "can't be countered" bonus. Is the +2/+2 on board trick and haste to tokens provided by fires enough to compete with the "can't be countered" clause...

Sharktocrab broken in cube confirmed. None of the new guildmages have impressed me very much, but I think I might want to try this one. Anyone noticed the giant copyright symbol over his head?

Hmmmm, I wonder what other U/R cards make a bunch of 1/1s... *COUGH* Pia Nalaar Pia and Kiran Nalaar Whirler Rogue Maverick Thopterist *COUGH* Mogg War Marshal Siege-gang commander *COUGH*

Is it just me or do most of the cards in this set feel like they were designed for Commander?

Friday.

The real question is, how do we abuse this?

Seems more like a casual 60 card deck than a cube archetype...

I mean, I think this dragon we missed could be helpful: Seems like it could be helpful for +1/+1 counters support, without being toxic. It also plays well with Mentor (although you will need a larger creature to mentor this, like Light of the Legion or a pumped Goblin Banneret. Not that...

I misread the card apparently. I thought it just went back to the battlefield. I still think it's probably a win more card, although it does have significantly more potential now.

Gutterbones is not better than Gravecrawler, Bloodsoaked Champion, or Dread wanderer. The recursion trigger is way more of a win more than any of the other recursive black 1s. Even though I love cards like this, I think I'd rather have Diregraf Ghoul.
