I think Nethroi is a little stronger in a cube setting, but which is better really depends on what the format looks like. Eerie ultimatum is a much better (albeit harder to cast) mass reanimation spell than Nethroi, since it can grab any number of permanents of any type. Nethroi, on the other...

Well, captive has two things that makes it worse than the Almighty Brushwagg in my opinion. First, it doesn't have any built-in evasion. Wolfbitten Captive, even in Krallenhorde Killer mode, doesn't ever have any evasion. A token deck can chump block the thing for days without ever taking a...

Here's a black-border Super-Duper Death Ray for Onderz.

It's probably better than Wolfbitten Captive 60 or so percent of the time. Since your R/G section asks for aggro players to insert their hand into their graveyard for Wild Mongrels, it's nice to have a big mana sink that can help to finish games. Mana efficiency can be just as good as spell...

The Brushwagg is here! All Hail the Almighty Brushwagg! This guy actually seems fine in low-powered cubes, especially ones with counters themes. His raw glory wouldn't quite fit in my current cube, but I could see myself playing this in a different project eventually. I'm happy with this.

This card is super strong, in a good way. It's basically a second copy of Grafted Wargear for your aggro decks. I love this card.

Here's the Activator: Remember, Cycling counts as an activated ability, so this guy reduces cycling costs too! I don't know if there are enough AA's that you'd want to reduce the costs on to make this guy playable in every cube deck that tries to build around this, but there are some...

Hurrah! To be fair, I specifically didn't share it with salvation because I didn't want to get yelled at. I wish that other guy hadn't reposted but whatever. I'm almost wondering if the poster who leaked the "wedge lands" was actually talking about the crystals. Wedge lands still seem too good...

I'm going to have to do a full write-up on this cube at some point- there's a lot of cool ideas here that I think have a lot of potential but there's some weird things which I would definitely change about it. Could you provide a little bit more information about what kind of environment you...

1) Not really because you're effectively losing two creatures to maybe save one. There are times where this will be fine, but it's really only exceptional when you're using it to save an important creature that is vital to your deck's function. I might be selling this card a little bit short...

Another Doom Blade variant. This card seems like it could be very good, but only if you have a low density of things that have +1/+1 counters. My cube currently has about 31 cards with counters, although some of them are not things you'd want to remove, but others give counters to the whole...

Yeah, now that we've seen that the Temur deck is Instants-matter themed, I think the Arcane Maelstrom name makes a lot more sense.

That's nice, and you could always just... Dead Weight Mire's Grasp Looks like constellation got a new toy :p

Posting my 1000th message here because I felt like it and didn't want it to be in some random thread to be lost to time. I'm sentimental like that :cool:

Not yet. If I had to guess, I'd say it will probably be the G/W hybrid legendary card since White and Green are both allowed Nightmares in this set. It's also possible that it will be a Mono-Green or Golgari card, but I think WOTC is probably going to try to make it something special for all of...

Unlike the Hippo Dinosaur, which is very good in the mainboard but questionable as a companion, this cat thing seems like it is very good in both roles. Remember, White and Black are the two colors most likely to be chock full of permanents with CMC 2 or less. Just counting White and Black in my...

This set is so weird.

They haven't really previewed anything thats super exciting since the Sharknado IMO... That is, until they showed off this: I don't know if this card has a home in cube, but he is really cute! He's like Walking Ballista but for mana to activate abilities. A thing to note is that the mana he...

This card is so cool, but you have to cast it to get the trigger. They're printing a bunch of cards like this in the EDH decks, but they're all designed so that the cards are either bad outside of commander or that you can't use them to cheat on mana. I just want to discard this and Striped...

I think this card is very bad. It's body is below the curve, it doesn't have or provide evasion, it just makes all of your creatures into Sliths. I'd rather have a guaranteed one-time pump like Good-Fortune Unicorn or Renata, Called to the Hunt than something which may never end up pumping any...
