I've been cubing a little bit now with Aligned Heart and it has been ... fine. It sometimes has it's high notes, but triggering from double spelling on a three drop is not trivial – best outcome so far was a game where someone got five monks from a trigger. The biggest downside is probably...

Yeah, I think Clockwork Fox, while slightly weaker, should lead to more dynamic games. No lifegain, 3/2 instead of a 2/3 and it has three cards drawn instead of one.

Oh, right, forgot about that bug. Necer added it, because Filigree Familiar was already performing very well in my cube and marked the top end of how strong I wanted my colorless value 3-drop to be.

Why is nobody cubing this good boy? Clockwork Fox Blink, bounce, ninjutsu, sacrifice, artifact synergies. He does it all.

Yeah, I alsp noticed that one. But the set has mostly really cool art so far in general. I know, some people don't like the anime-ish style, but honestly, I think this all feels pretty magic-like: High fantasy, weird beasts, spellcasting, historically inspired styles. Although one could argue...

The uncommon hybrid legends are super sweet. I will definitely add Long Feng and the {g/w}, {w/u} and {r/w} ones look good too. Can't wait to see the hybrid cards for boros and simic two shallow hybrid pairs.

Omg, hybrids <3 Where is this preview/leak from? Are there more?

Something that could be cool would be a storm-ish artifact deck. Doesn't need to be combo OHKO, but maybe cards like these: Etherium Sculptor Foundry Inspector Ebthusiast Mechanaut Cloud Key In combination with artifact based card draw: Ichor Wellspring Chromatic Star Skyscanner Thoughtcast...

I'm cubing it for years and I am very hesitant to add overly complicated/confusing cards. I think it is quite an elegant design, honestly. I adore Key to the City btw. It reads innocent enough, but overperforms every – single – time. Madness enabler, graveyard filler, sweet with saboteur...

Yeah, personally, that summarizes my problem with modern magic design. These days everything needs to be well statted. I think the game was much more interesting when you had to choose between stats and value. If you then add the rates we're getting these days (for several years now, tbf) that...

Airbending is pretty cool. It's like half bounce, half blink. You always pay {2} but you get another cast trigger. The thing I hate: the elements showcase frames look awesome, but they will all be used on bending cards and of course none of them will have reminder text. So I wont be able to...

Addition: I realized that I really want to try this thing as an occasional: Extinguisher Battleship It's kinda perfect: it is splashy, can be blowout, showcases a unique card type of magic's history, doesn't go into too many decks and would certainly not be something I wanted every draft.

Yeah. I would've loved Umbral Collar Zealot as a 2/1 or 2/2 that said "surveil 2" instead. I want more power in th utility and less in the stats.

Ragavan's problem is how snowbally it is. I think it's often fine when the monkey player is on the draw, but on the play, there is really only a tiny window. And a 1-drop that can run away with the game so easily, without any support, is a red flag for many cube designers (at least it is one for...

Yeah, they made the decision to have landfall in all colors, in Zendikar sets, in 2009 (?). And honestly, landfall is such a clean mechanic full of potential, I am glad they did not only put it on some elves and baloths. That being said, I still find it weird to have Magecraft abilities in all...

In my cube's core, there are eleven 2/1s and five 2/3s that Sea Gate would be better against, but only seven-ish are aggro cards. On the other hand, there are 48 X/2s, of which at least ~33 are better blocked by Cloudkin. I think that settles it :)

Yeah, I think I should switch to Cloudkin. I have {W/U} and {U/B} tempo decks showing up, that utilize ninjas and would much rather have the evasive body. I was just worried that I might take away something from blue control decks, which have been struggling more so than the tempo decks.

Sea Gate Oracle Cloudkin Seer Which and why? (Not necessarily which one's more powerful, but cooler/more interesting/flexible or such)

Have you cast it or seen it cast? How would you say, does it compare to e.g. Honored Hydra?

I think with Sontaran General in your cube, you start and stay at 0% coolness.
