rate my new cube

it's really good in Shandalar because 1) there's hardly anything else to Workshop out early if you don't draw two Workshops and 2) it regenerates and the AI is not exactly good at playing around that

Priest of Yawgmoth just cause vibes

I have never seen this card before in my life and I really like it - thank you for posting it! Huge fan.

RoE absolutely slaps. Plenty of reasons why that nobody's posted yet (the way Pillarfield Ox from Zendikar turned into Makindi Griffin at the same cost and yet went from marginal-bad-playable to total-garbage, for instance), but primarily because they decided to try to both make a "normal" set...

Dunno if the overlap here is just me: I don't usually read the web fiction stuff they do for the sets, but EoE's getting one written by Seth Dickinson (author of The Traitor Baru Cormorant, and more recently and popularly Exordia) and I enjoyed it - here's a link to the first installment. Not...

Honestly, I don't think it constrains the rest of your options that much! Sure, there's a spectrum of power level changes from "too much" to "not much": Sparksmith gets even dumber Gempalm Incinerator becomes very good Elvish Champion isn't really that much above where it's usually at when...

I like this idea enough that I'm brain-dumping what I know that you didn't post! I assume you know most of this but heck, I just learned about the [ ci = small ] tag from you, gonna use it. Individual cards for at least one of the two of Gau and Poxwalkers: Norin, Swift Survivalist Chandra...

I fucking love Satyr Wayfinder. It's not even in my cube. I just wanna talk about how much I love it. We just got Town Greeter and I was like "IT'S A SATYR WAYFINDER! I LOVE SATYR WAYFINDER!" I thought I was gonna hate it. Then I played it in Constructed. Then I started playing it, and all its...

In my (insane) opinion, part of the reason for this is that it's really two mechanics, not one. Cause most of them are Cavern Harpy. You're playing them to cheaply rebuy your FTK or whatever, and you get a body as a reward. Evidence for this being a thing they wanted to do on purpose is present...

As a counterpoint, I really liked 5DN in draft - it did the thing that WotC wants all third sets to do, where it kind of flips what decks are good on their head while still powering up existing ones. To pick one from the same era, Saviors of Kamigawa failed miserably at that. ex: Skyreach Manta...

just found out there was a Secret Lair included Rotting Regisaur old-border. hell yeah discard outlet huge body etc

Oh my god, any excuse to play Tombstone Stairwell is a good excuse! And you probably can't get away with this - probably - but if you are literally only playing with lifelong grinders who know every card cold and you're trying to support not-self-mill in the cube: (this is Ruin Crab, not...

this has some real "Griselbrand as a lifelinker" energy, so I will Kramer in with an equally helpful suggestion: you forgot Psychic Frog (mostly just messing with you, Frog's obviously way dumber than Kavu)

Young Wolf reminded me, an archetype I love that isn't really that good but that doesn't stop me: Wildfire Jokulhaups So generally you want -artifacts that make mana to ramp to them / survive Wildfire (but not Haups), Fire Diamond style, like Kai's Worlds-winning deck from 2001 with Covetous...

"nipple chafing" was the only thing we said about this art in 2004 and seeing it again, turns out nothing has changed in the intervening decades If you like Vedalken Mastermind, make sure you don't want to just go back to the REAL classics of Crystal Shard and Erratic Portal instead - they're...

5DN rocks. There's just so much in there that you can do all kinds of things with! Between Scry being an open-ended mechanic and being a third set from an artifact block, they just threw all kinds of weird stuff in there. The original nongreen ramp crime duo, good on their own and by design a...

Relevant to this thread, the CI tag has functionality that I'm pretty sure it didn't have several months back: |TESoltari Trooper |TESoltari Trooper (edit: but good luck getting this to work if you want to swap between images in the same post, I'm pretty sure the way it works is "first instance...

Set's got some goodies for me. As a big FF fan I don't mind them being UB... but, you know. No clue how I'll feel about Avatar. Except I already forgot Spider-Man, so I meant that. These are all at least maybes, though I'm sure at most half will stick. I'm trying out a historic theme, so grain...

oh also they changed the rules on Sagas: Probably not super-relevant for your cube, but the new dream to live is Urza's Saga, let it tick up once to Chapter II, then play Blood Moon - Moon makes it a Mountain, so it stops accumulating counters, but Saga's chapter 2 trigger gives the land an...
