This card is neat but it's too fragile for me to want to use it as a reanimation target and it can benefit the opponent when it dies. It seems like a staple for Cubes modeled after Grillo's Penny-Pincher 2.0 list, though.

Does The War really qualify as a food lord? He makes a bunch of foods, yes, but he doesn't actually care about food specifically (unless he's turning them into elk or exchanging them for something, but he could do that with any type of token). Either way, is this a card I should be...

Retriever Phoenix strikes me as weak in singleton formats. To fully utilize the card, a player needs a fair number of other learn cards in the deck, which isn't necessarily achievable in a Cube draft. Otherwise, the floor of a 2/2 Flying Haste for 4 that draws a card doesn't seem particularly...

I don't feel these are comparable other than being Green Baneslayers with useful abilities. Ant Queen is better in token-based or defense-oriented strategies where hiding behind an army of ants is a reasonable course of action. Meanwhile, the Bogbeast looks to be better in decks that are focused...

Here is the Testing and Includes thread for Commander 2021.

This is a testing/includes thread. Post pictures or a text list using /c with what cards you plan to include and what cards you plan to test. Including: Testing: In the early years of Commander sets, WOTC used to be really good about designing cards that had appeal to formats other...

Digging Through Time Part 5&3/4 I'm still a liar as I did not have a chance to finish the Cube before Strixhaven came out. So... here we are again with the mechanics! As a reminder, I'm looking for these three things from each mechanic: -Power Level. The mechanic has to do something impactful...

I'm not a huge fan of either of these. Centaur Vinecrasher seems more like a midrange card than an aggro card. Deathgorge Scavenger can be reasonable, but it is a bit weak in the sense that it dies to a lot of different things with little recourse. I would suggest taking a look at some of the...

The reason why I am so willing to advocate for this mechanic is not because learn acts like a wish effect, but because it always draws action. If you have a card that lets you learn, you get a spell added to your hand, no questions ask. Granted, the spell isn't always great, but it's still a...

They're basically releasing the sets digitally for the Paper prerelease. There's not a reason for them to wait another week to let people play the set online when people are already enjoying the set in paper. WOTC used to have to wait to launch sets online until a couple of weeks after they...

Man I was so excited for that Dark Confidant variant until I realized it drew both players a card.

Both are real estate, but they're for different perspective viewpoints. Someone drafting has no reason to care how much space was available in a Cube spreadsheet. They only care about the cards in front of them. For a drafter, the only thing that matters is making a playable deck out of the...

I think Quandrix Apprentice is the best of all of the small UG dorks. In fact, I think it's only outclassed by the Broken UG cards such as Oko, Thief of Crowns and Uro. A lot of the other playable UG creatures in mid-power environments are all-in build arounds like Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy, or...

You're making several assumptions here that are simply not correct. 1. The biggest incorrect assumption here is that the Lesson cards and Learn cards don't support specific decks as whatever other random card didn't end up making the cut. You're entire argument here seems to revolve around the...

I just posted my first article to Cubecobra! In the article, I discuss my favorite new Strixhaven cards for cube and why I think they could be good. I tried to pick cards that were a little bit more unique (although there were a couple of mainstream cards that I couldn't help but discuss)...

For what it's worth I don't think your initial comment was particularly toxic. At worst it seemed like a little bit of teasing. While I think there is a broader discussion that needs to be had about our posturing towards the broader Cube community, your post was largely non-offensive.

I am too, this set is full of great cube inclusions. I think people are mis-evaluating the power level of both the Learn and Magecraft mechanics and treating them like parasitic space killers instead of the dynamic mechanics they are in reality. Even the mono-green magecraft cards look good, and...

I opened up the testing and includes thread! There are so many great cards in this set, I implore everyone to give them a try. Especially the gold interactive pieces. A lot of people seem to be getting caught up on the wordiness of the casual commander cards and the somewhat daunting space...

This is a testing/includes thread. Post pictures or a text list using /c with what cards you plan to include and what cards you plan to test. Including: Testing: Just as an aside, I didn't include any of the lesson/learn cards I plan to test or include in my list, since there are a so many...
