    I wonder if they will reprint Form of the Dragon?

    I also forgot about Ketramose, who is seeing some play in WB Midrange in Modern at the moment. Still, this set’s impact is reasonably small compared to the number of cool Cubeables in the set!

    Interesting thought: is the fact that recent sets have so many cool cards people want to Cube with really a problem with modern design? You mention how Aetherdrift is a set you both dislike but also has a relatively large number of cards that you're giving a whirl in your Cube. And yeah...

    Sets (TDM) Tarkir: Dragonstorm Previews!

    WOTC keeps previewing stuff that is tangentially related to Dragons, but aren't actually Dragons themselves. They're telling us to Behold a Dragon without giving us any Dragons to behold! Oh well, at least there's always Rith, the Awakener.

    Sets (TDM) Tarkir: Dragonstorm Previews!

    I feel like they would be pretty similar in power level. Flying is usually stronger than Prowess outside of dedicated Prowess decks. If the base creature had Prowess, it would be a stronger Constructed card, but I think they would be somewhat comparable in limited.

    A Doomed Traveler that makes a Monk token would be super cool. It would be awesome if the base creature also had Prowess!

    I honestly don't have a lot to say with this one, These are Elspeth and Ugin. Elspeth was confirmed today via an Art preview and Ugin was confirmed back when the "Tarkir: Dragonstorm" name was announced. I think these "decayed" counters may actually be giving creatures the decayed keyword...

    Stormplain Detainment I wonder if an Elspeth and Narset team-up Banishing Light is something I should be looking at for my Cube?

    Hey everyone, I just put out a podcast episode about the Top 5 Sets for Cube. Understandably, this list is a bit subjective, so I thought it would be a fun thing to discuss here! I would love to hear some of your thoughts once you listen to the episode!

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I love these cards, but I would not want them in a Cube with the regular Fetchlands, especially if the mana base plays duplicates. They want their own environment to shine.

    I think it kind of depends on what you're doing. Phyrexian Rager is still at a good rate and has proven itself to be an awesome card in its recent outings in retail limited. I would suspect you'd want something akin to the Regular Cube in order for it to be truly great, but it wouldn't be bad in...

    I think people used to play this card in Vintage Cubes! Simic had a severe lack of cool cards before the Return to Ravnica block.

    One of the things I've noticed in environments using "Hearthstone Mana" is that high-mana plays are more powerful than they usually are since players can play them on time guaranteed. As such, using a card as simplistic as the humble Colossal Dreadmaw as top end necessitates bumping up the power...

    The strongest of the Dragons is actually Rith, The Awakener. It saw a fair bit of play in Fires and No Fires decks back in the day!

    Invasion block was kinda weak as to avoid being full of power level mistakes like the two blocks which preceeded it (Combo Nightmare and Rebels/Free Spells: The Gathering, respectively), but there are a lot of cool cards in there! Even just looking at creatures I think there's a lot of cards...

    Big fan of this one! Super cool old-school card.
