In my (insane) opinion, part of the reason for this is that it's really two mechanics, not one. Cause most of them are Cavern Harpy. You're playing them to cheaply rebuy your FTK or whatever, and you get a body as a reward. Evidence for this being a thing they wanted to do on purpose is present...

As a counterpoint, I really liked 5DN in draft - it did the thing that WotC wants all third sets to do, where it kind of flips what decks are good on their head while still powering up existing ones. To pick one from the same era, Saviors of Kamigawa failed miserably at that. ex: Skyreach Manta...

just found out there was a Secret Lair included Rotting Regisaur old-border. hell yeah discard outlet huge body etc

Oh my god, any excuse to play Tombstone Stairwell is a good excuse! And you probably can't get away with this - probably - but if you are literally only playing with lifelong grinders who know every card cold and you're trying to support not-self-mill in the cube: (this is Ruin Crab, not...

this has some real "Griselbrand as a lifelinker" energy, so I will Kramer in with an equally helpful suggestion: you forgot Psychic Frog (mostly just messing with you, Frog's obviously way dumber than Kavu)

Young Wolf reminded me, an archetype I love that isn't really that good but that doesn't stop me: Wildfire Jokulhaups So generally you want -artifacts that make mana to ramp to them / survive Wildfire (but not Haups), Fire Diamond style, like Kai's Worlds-winning deck from 2001 with Covetous...

"nipple chafing" was the only thing we said about this art in 2004 and seeing it again, turns out nothing has changed in the intervening decades If you like Vedalken Mastermind, make sure you don't want to just go back to the REAL classics of Crystal Shard and Erratic Portal instead - they're...

5DN rocks. There's just so much in there that you can do all kinds of things with! Between Scry being an open-ended mechanic and being a third set from an artifact block, they just threw all kinds of weird stuff in there. The original nongreen ramp crime duo, good on their own and by design a...

Relevant to this thread, the CI tag has functionality that I'm pretty sure it didn't have several months back: |TESoltari Trooper |TESoltari Trooper (edit: but good luck getting this to work if you want to swap between images in the same post, I'm pretty sure the way it works is "first instance...

Set's got some goodies for me. As a big FF fan I don't mind them being UB... but, you know. No clue how I'll feel about Avatar. Except I already forgot Spider-Man, so I meant that. These are all at least maybes, though I'm sure at most half will stick. I'm trying out a historic theme, so grain...

oh also they changed the rules on Sagas: Probably not super-relevant for your cube, but the new dream to live is Urza's Saga, let it tick up once to Chapter II, then play Blood Moon - Moon makes it a Mountain, so it stops accumulating counters, but Saga's chapter 2 trigger gives the land an...

Honestly, the Saga text is an additive distraction on this, I really like it as just a rummager! She'll do fun stuff in retail draft, I'm sure, but I'm all about that first ability in Cubes. edit: I have been informed that Urza's Saga is a Saga, a Land, and has MV 0. So uh. She can do that too...

He's not even! He's just walking through a swamp! His feet could literally be on the ground!

Kaervek, the Spiteful my thought process was literally "let's have some fun, this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your blisterstick" -> sickness -> Engineered Plague -> Night of Souls' Betrayal and here we are because why would you ever want an enchantment when you can have a 3/2?!

I read that as Yidaro style and was I excited for some new modal card I hadn't seen before :(

It really doesn't! Real Crovax, Ascendent Hero situation. here is the secret: Contraband Kingpin (it is much less good, but that fourth point of toughness is SO high that it and Golbez can be "survives removal" buddies!)

Linvala, Keeper of Silence She doesn't care that damage used to stack!

Oh, turns out I deleted the sentence about how customs is the only way out of it... but rest assured, I was miles ahead of you (not even first time drafters, I'd absolutely lose to custom morphs multiple times and be like "OH WELL", I'm a clown)

They did it. They made a card about collecting cards. -> also more Tiered

I suppose they do have modes, even if all the modes are "land". I guess I can let it slide. This time. But I got my eye on you, scryfall team. Or maybe MaRo. That guy needs more oversight anyway.
