I love Augur of Bolas, the piece of garbage that always whiffs and makes me mad. Still love it though. It's no Thundertrap Trainer so obviously I don't run it anymore. Omniscience isn't in my cube for obvious reasons, but any cube that it is in can probably trick me into first-picking it...

It's not exactly seven! It's seven or more! Minamo Scrollkeeper Trusted Advisor And in addition to "7+" and "4+" there's "just have more" (we've already posted Descendant of Kiyomaro/Exile Into Darkness but there's also Secretkeeper and unplayable garbage like Kitsune Bonesetter) A record that...

As I once saw someone describe it, Rhystic Cave's Oracle text is "Tap:". (it's either a worse Rishadan Port, because in return for your 1 mana discount they pick the land and it's never Maze of Ith, or it's a better City of Brass, which is not a gamble I'm willing to take)

honestly while I always appreciate a good Brushwagg, the actual sixth member of the cycle is strong-candidate-for-worst-card-ever-printed Rhystic Cave ($8 foil btw. what on earth.)

CCC was great, CCB was better if nobody opened Jitte (unpersoning that single card makes that an all-timer of a draft format to this day imo) ...also, you know, people like the flavor. That's the real reason. As for Saviors in Cube, my first take is that I have literally nothing to say because...

Well, if it's an artifact there's also Daretti, Scrap Savant and his more recent, more expensive version Daretti, Rocketeer Engineer (...and my beloved Push the Limit, which was only good in Aetherdrift, an otherwise awful set but it did have this, one of the most fun draft uncommons in years)

We have Anti-Smother! It's pretty okay!

Colorless opens up a lot of weird stuff: Soul Separator Ghost Vacuum The Animus Yggdrasil, Rebirth Engine Nautiloid Ship Dollhouse of Horrors Dermotaxi I'm a big fan of Dollhouse of Horrors, though the upfront cost of "pay five mana to do nothing" is high.

Some real stretches here, but hopefully you can see the reasoning: Rally the Monastery Griffin Guide Doomed Traveler Murder Investigation Sanguine Evangelist Aligned Heart Clarion Spirit Rumor Gatherer Sanguine Evangelist is likely too strong, but I wanted to cover all my bases. Clarion Spirit...

Ooh, speaking of weird proliferate white artifacts, have you seen Patrolling Peacemaker? It's just a Gray Ogre and you can't control when you get to proliferate, but opponents commit crimes fairly often (killing the Peacemaker itself, if nothing else) so it's got a lot of potential upside...

Yeah, I cut Pyrogoyf for power reasons (because I don't really want a Flametongue Kavu effect, especially not one that's just way better in every way)... but actual FTK is kind of nostalgic. That's good. I've never seen Agate Instigator in my life and I'm at least a little tempted, honestly. A...

Looking for: Mono-Red four-drops. Here's the cube list for reference. I'd like: -strong preference for one pip, the Hellriders and Hero of Oxid Ridges of the world need not apply (why does Brutal Hordechief not have a red cousin?! it's been a decade!) -ideally it'd be good enough in aggro and...

Rosie Cotton of South Lane's the only one I'm actually playing myself - she's really good, but she's more for Staff of the Storyteller decks rather than Yotian Dissident ones for me. (Planning to benefit from other creature tokens rather than other cards wanting her Food.)

How do you feel about three-color gold cards? Asking for my boy: Rocco, Street Chef Always makes me think of his partner in crime: Rosie Cotton of South Lane (also Pia Nalaar, Consul of Revival but you did say gw in particular) So, let's see, Blade Splicer wasn't pictured, there's Farmer...

...Well, yes, I did totally whiff on all five Overlords, Fear of Missing Out, Unholy Annex, Enduring Curiosity, Abhorrent Oculus, and Sheltered by Ghosts until I played them all in Standard. I was right! 100% hit rate! (At being wrong, that is. Do the opposite of me and you've got 100% ez) Not...

...yeah, between "PT's dead" and "pandemic" and "Arena" that did happen too.

There's two effects: 1) random commander stuff is expensive forever (hi, Sheoldred, the Apocalypse / The Great Henge / etc) and 2) the existence of very fancy very rare treatments that require opening lots of product means a "normal" version of almost everything else is dirt cheap. 2 is great...

I don't know of anyone else who still does it, but SCG still has Ship+Sell where you just put all your unsorted stuff in a box, send it to them, and get paid. Obviously the downside there is it's SCG, so lower buylist + higher sell price if they're still the way they used to be back when they...

Witness Protection is my favorite because the name "Legitimate Businessperson" is perfect. It's like how nearly every time I activate Oko, Thief of Crowns I chuckle at the resulting mental image Dragons' Rage Elk, Bill the Elk, Primeval Elk, etc

Yeah, it was supposed to be a nerf with specifically Agatha's Soul Cauldron, so that you couldn't go big enough in one turn with a bunch of creatures you just drew. ...ignore Draconautics Engineer already being in the deck (to be fair, it doesn't give itself haste)
