I have but one like to give

I wonder to what degree your perspective is informed by your experience with an explicitly low-powered Cube. The cards that fit within the space of 'too good/damaging for my Cube, but appealing on the surface such that I'd want to include them at first' will be qualitatively different for you...

That says more about those reanimation targets than anything else. I'd rather pay 3 mana for Necromancy on Griselbrand and get 7 cards than pay double for Seasons Past to get ~4. I'd rather pay for that than for anything else in Cube, too. I wouldn't play that 8-mana draw spell because it...

Why is everyone praising Seasons Past and then slamming Ever After for being 'too slow'? If the creatures in your deck are any good, Seasons Past will get them back (with one or two extras maybe) so that you can spend your next turn hoping to cast them (and you might only get to play one if...

I've come to believe we all overrate Brainstorm a bit - or at least miscategorize it. In Constructed the decks with Brainstorm typically have 8-10+ fetchlands, which equates to 6+ in a 40-card deck; even in our double fetch Cubes, you might get... 3, or 4 if you're lucky? I find myself getting...

More so than almost any other card, Living Death is a card I see P1P1 and think 'ok we're doing THAT this time'

Equilibrium

I still wish Greater Good was great or good

part 2 please

no, they are completely different cards also if your mana is constrained such that you can't activate Leap, you're not cracking all those clues God gave you either

Specter leads to more memorable plays; I like Oblivion Sower and don't fully hate Ashiok for the same reasons, especially if you can find room in your heart/Cube for Vivids or other 5C lands

They don't play out in the same way and they are weak to different things. If your opponent is tapped out (which they almost always will be in the phase of the game that Braids is best in), Braids will always take something with it even if it dies which is rough e.g. if you land it T3 on the...

You could replace Craterhoof with Decimator of the Provinces when it comes out but, as a just-released Mythic, it might have a price tag of its own Archangel and Titan are unique and worth shelling out for. I can lend a Titan as and when it's needed I'd cut Tamiyo anyway Collective...

Who watched EVO? I'm a filthy casual who only cares about Melee, which didn't disappoint.

It is if that identity never gets to manifest itself because the lack of removal proves to be a fundamental weakness

Yeah the Augur of Bolas comparison is just bizarre. There is literally no deck that wants them both at the same time, their colours tend to want different things, and it's much much easier to get a high creature count than a high instant/sorcery count

I forgot this: Splendid Reclamation which is an awesome card. I think it becomes great if you're willing to put the work in; here's a list Sam Black suggested for Standard: Ones 4 Magmatic Insight Twos 4 Grapple with the Past 4 Gather the Pack 2 Tormenting Voice Threes 2 Shreds of...

The distinction between ETB and cast can be confusing for newer players but that cause was lost a looooong time ago with most of our Cubes anyway. I'm starting to like cast triggers more because they decrease the ETB spam that often defines games with blink/reanimation, and countermagic is good...

I need UB to do something and I rather miss the classic control decks. Are there other cards you would recommend for it (beyond even more planeswalkers)?
