Something something TEMPO something something

Yeah yeah, I noticed it now on second glance on my post. Dumb typo :p

Card image lists don't seem to work like before? I would use: Champion of the Parish Thalia's Lieutenant Champion of the Parish Thalia's Lieutenant Doesn't seem to be working right now. EDIT: Nevermind, I messed up when freetexting on a reply

Skyfisher is solid. It can enable neat synergies with rebuying effects, especially non-creature permanents ala History of Benalia, and is a solid body for its cost, but it's mostly just a 2 mana 2/3 flyer. I'm not really to excited with it as a T5+ play in most games. However, the flexibility in...

My magnum opus, I've already peaked:

What made you want to revisit Cube after so many years?

I'm not against the idea as a whole, it's just that this first implementation is lacking with present options. If I'm playing the Learn cards, the majority of them do not synergize with my existing themes or are unimpressive overall being overcosted or having a weak effect. The handful that...

If you can break parity with stuff like MLD she's pretty good, otherwise she's just sort of hating on everything passively. It's not insane but its never really dead either. For those cards you listed I'd go with Artisan and Knight. Both play well in the decks that they slot into by promoting...

It's way too much. Like Chris said, we're probably in the top percentage of enfranchised players that actually focus on new releases, but even then there are so many cards where I'm like wait what did this do again? I know they haven't had paper Magic to pull data from for over a year now, but...

For Sealed optimization I'd say the main two things to focus on are your power outliers and your mana-fixing. Traditional cubes with good fixing usually end up being miserable Sealed experiences due to great fixing leading to multicolor goodstuff piles lacking identity as you've probably run...

I don't think there's a specific card to make we want to go into GW, but it has excellent support cards for whatever you want to run. A lot of the cards Train listed slot well into GW Landfall or GW CoCo decks. GW was kind of difficult to design for a while, but eventually I came to conclusion...

That's fair. I do run two Liliana cards so it can be relevant every now and then. But most of all I just really like the promo art compared to any Diabolic Edict printing thus far: Pretty much. Best case scenario it kills a walker on an empty board, worst case you've killed their weakest...

It's neat and probably gets there for lower-powered cubes on modality, but I'd probably just stick with Liliana's Triumph and Chainer's Edict in most scenarios. Even if the Lily discard is flavor text the majority of the time, it's still the cheapest version of that effect at instant speed with...

A large part of my design philosophy stems from my experience playing EDH. While I spend the majority of my Magic engagement fiddling with cube and theory-crafting here, I'd say the majority of my actual time playing the game is via EDH sessions with my playgroup (especially in the last year)...

Dom mentioned in a previous podcast a convo he had with Ryan Overturf about cube inclusions in the past, like how Char was a choice inspired by wanting a burn spell that would appeal to Aggro players. That's something I've been more keen on in recent years with card inclusions. For example...

They're really going all in on the big spell theme with this pre-con, everything is costed like 1-2 mana more than I'd need for cube inclusion. Not too impressed with day 2 spoilers thus far, though I do like this one a little: Beautiful art, but unfortunately a Panharmonicon like effect...

You need ways to make those cards matter. Flashback, graveyard synergies, or setting up weird piles is the way to go. I don't really have a lower powered example, but I've used Gifts in various ways in my cube from a reanimation enabler to a flashback set-up. Hell, I've even used it to Turbo out...

I think Titan might be stronger with the 3 bodies left behind. I do like this as a reanimation/Welder target though. It's a very clean design at feels more fair at 9 mana than something like Wurmcoil Engine at 6. Aside from straight artifact removal, bounce and exile effects will definitely help...

Mirror is amazing. Being able to pull off some gross Welder shenanigans seems super cool. It's even within the 3 cmc for Goblin Engineer's mini Welder impression. It also doubles as a rock for Wildfire style decks which I've found to work very well alongside Daretti in decks in the past. Big fan...
