No, No, Borderline but probably not. Faithful and Sentry aren't really cards non-Abiding Grace decks are going to be looking to play all that often. Archfiend's Vessel is, like, fine in an environment with some Unearth effects and cheap reanimation, but it's still in that "more cute than good"...

OH this is actually a good magic card. Getting to investigate between two and four times for playing a 2-drop is a pretty good rate, especially in one of the color pairs with the worst access to card advantage. I will probably be picking one of these up once the Magic flavored version of this...

Never heard of it, sorry :confused:

True! Unfortunately, Wizards often views Planar Chaos as a mistake because the color pie breaks had a permanent effect on eternal formats. Brad doesn’t need to worry about this for his project because it’s a totally controlled walled garden.

The main function of the color pie is to make sure players have a reason to play different colors and to make each color feel unique. As long as your Cube is a walled garden, giving every color a new set of strengths and weaknesses is likely an interesting concept, so long as the flavor of each...

Yes. If you want to talk about changes you plan on making in addition to updates, this is a perfectly good place to do it. However, this section of the forums is more for cataloging changes and continuous discussion on a project over time.

Yeah, the MDFCs and the adventures are missing. I have a list of the relevant cards I need to add, I just haven’t had a chance to go through and add them yet. I might not be keeping the Hypercube mirror up, though, since the owner of the original list also keeps an active version on CubeCobra.

I was about to say Gallia of the Endless Dance since she seems broadly more applicable to a wider range of decks with more interensting synergies than stormbind, but I have a better hot take: you shouldn't play either of these cards right now. Since you're shrinking your gold section, now would...

Wow, a spoiler thread before there has even been a single card spoiled. Cool. Maybe we should make this a speculation thread so the previews will be at the top when spoilers start?

I just imported @Humpty_Dumpty's Cube #74 because I couldn't find a current CubeCobra/CubeArtisan link. I'm also reaching out to other segments of the community to get some more archive candidates.

Someone let Johnny out of his cage ;)

I think these cards might be a little above retail level. Don't misread me, they fit perfectly fine in a retail format, but they are also just good cards you can play outside of that setting with the correct infrastructure. Abiding Grace is actually a card on my short list to test. 10/10 combo...

It’s more of the treasure than the haste that does it for goldspan imo. You always get a little value out of your dragon even if it never attacks. fwiw claw could see play if it cost 1RG or maybeeeee 2RG, but since it’s an MDFC I think it’s unlikely it costs less than 3RG. Dying to lightning...

This card is in firm balduvian trading post territory.

Because it has haste and makes treasures without needing to attack (although it usually DOES get to attack), I don’t think goldspan really qualifies as a Baneslayer. It’s kind of on the edge, but I would say it’s still a firm no.

And of course, it would see absolutely no play because expensive baneslayers aren’t all that good in 2021, even in Standard. :texas:

I would say neither because these cards aren't great archetype anchors. I ran Teysa back when she was new as an aristocrats/afterlife build around. She was fine, but she was an overcosted vanilla creature roughly half of the time she was played. The types of engines Teysa Karlov wants to be a...

I echo this. It's especially good with Faerie Seer et. al.

For sure, the mono-red player trying to splash their one white card doesn't want to play any basic plains if they can avoid it. Fixing lands let mono-color players stick to their lane and still be able to splash something cool, meaning they still fill the role of a mono-color player when...

That's really not how these drafts tend to work out in practice, at least for the types of decks I was using as my example. Mono-color aggro decks try to avoid extra colors to allow players to trim out lands that would be required for playing extra colors so they can jam in more cheap creaures...
