Intervention seems really good. A strong and flexible fireball effect, but it makes you work a little for the killshot straight to the dome. Gives it a better feel than many of these cards, that just end the game out of nowhere with the nuclear blast.

I think weaker, but I also think that's a good thing

Nice! Great addition to that set of cards.

I've run Angel of Serenity since my cubes inception, and it's always been a solid card. The fact that it is close to vanilla after the etb (mulldrifter as Peter says) really helps keep it strong but fair.

Shandalar still kicks ass. Played through it last year.

Smallpox isn't a "generically useful" card, but in the right cube it is perfectly good as a roleplayer. It provides a discard outlet, board control, sacrifice outlet, etc. If your cube doesn't heavily play in the graveyard, probably just forget it; but if it does, I think it's a fine option to...

Mishra's Bauble is fine. We run almost exclusively multiplayer, and it's maindecked all the time. As you say, it has lots of interesting little interactions, and then it basically lowers your deck size to 39 cards, so lots of deck can use it with almost no downside.

Wrath Of Sod is perfect for EDH imo. Wrath effects are one of the most slowing effects on the format, but this one let's everyone come back out of the gates swinging. That's nice. I've heard these are only going to be available in like the convention version of the mystery boosters? That would...

Supporting control as in being easier for control to handle? Probably the occultist. Neither work well in control decks.

I run both Compulsive and Thirst. They are great cards for blue, and both help shift blue away from "raw card advantage" to "raw card quality", especially in GY cubes. Give red, green, etc. a little more room to breathe with their draw spells. Frantic Search also a great option.

Basics remind me of Pokémon energy

Mono black devotion maybe. I found it really annoying during STD at least

and you can reanimate him! (every upside of creatures in cube could be applied to him, really). I like the intersection that could be made between a sorta GW token-midrange style of deck and a GB deck with recursion. Like grizzly fate lingering souls unburial rites Seems great

I prefer siren stormtamer in this slot. It fits into a variety of decks with high-priority creatures that benefit from protection. This can be the Young Pyromancer/Monastery Monk of a spell deck, or a beefcake finisher in a reanimator deck. Much more versatile in that way. I do actually run a...

that's just how it be sometimes

It gets a lot more interesting in a multiplayer game, which makes sense. Usually a 4/4 wrath in 1v1.

Adventure is really, really good for control decks. Get all your spells at seemingly no downside to mana cost, and then have threats to poop out as needed later in the game!

it's really quite easy to cast. A 4 power turn 4 creature curves this into T5 (with GG to spare for something else). Seems like it can get out of hand pretty easily to me..

Haven't we been in a beastly power peak lately? Seems like they are starting to try to swing it back lower for a bit. I think most of the quadbrids are decent in limited. Nice way to all bit ensure a color pairing gets its multicolored cog card.

yeah sometimes its not about the actual "power". Does a particular card help make the experience fun?
