I'm already marking off flex/cut slots in my cube in anticipation of the rest of these spoilers. I'm expecting something like 12 new additions if MH1 was an indicator of what to expect.

And for my Ur-Dragon Tribal Tribal deck!

I'd go with Technique. More fun in a multiplayer setting where you have to weigh the risk/reward and most walkers kind of just suck if you can't protect them. This Liliana pretty much exists to be a one shot reanimation spell rather than a 5 mana zombie token factory most of the time.

Fine at seven mana, miserable if cheated out early. Like just consider the fact that your 1/1 token now trades with whatever 5/5 they had previously. It really depends on how fair your environment is. I don't think it's anything out of the ordinary with pushed card designs nowadays at lower CMCs...

Is it even worth it? I feel like it's pretty established at this point among cube designers, especially with more people open to experimentation compared to say 6 years ago. Before it was almost blasphemous to suggest two of a kind on some boards, nowadays people don't even blink when you run...

Straight up zero. I don't play any form of digital Magic, just not my thing.

Same here. It just clicked for me early on when I started playing and I laid out all shocks in color order and the frames bled color to color with each adjacent card and looped back around. Hallowed Fountain Watery Grave Blood Crypt Stomping Ground Temple Garden Godless Shrine Overgrown Tomb...

Ah you're right. I just realized that that's relevant now for wording and requires an exact match. Ugh.

Don't know if you actually want to do that for some of these as it puts the card into play, not into your hand. I misread it on first glance too.

Haven't tried it in cube, but I've jammed it a bunch in EDH over the last year and a half. Card is just dumb. It's a better Sulfuric Vortex being less interact-able, it lets you passively buff your life total while shocking the opponent, can ramp you by one, AND will occasionally turn into a...

That saga is one of the ugliest card designs I've ever seen.

Anyone have experience with: Nullpriest of Oblivion It's not the most impressive card at its base rate, but I think this ticks off enough boxes for inclusion in my environment. I was messing around with more self-mill/graveyard support recently with stuff like Stitcher's Supplier and...

This is probably more of a mid power level card. It doesn't do quite enough to get there at a higher power level with a lack of protection and effectively 1 ability the first turn. You'd have to be pretty desperate to blind flip with him the first turn and then it feels bad if you flip something...

All solid aside from Lavaclaw which is usually a turd. I only run it because R/B land cycles are mostly bad and nothing quite fits what I need. If I had an MH1 Horizon Land variant I would make the swap in a heartbeat. I currently run the following: Celestial Colonnade Creeping Tar Pit...

I think you missed the point. I don't find a power level discussion useful for cube design because if I'm already discussing cards with other invested Magic players with cube experience, its a moot point. Unless you're a brand new player, there's an shared understanding about the going rate for...

Garden is probably less frustrating for the opponent, but mostly because I'd be all for the opposition pinging themselves for mana. Makes it easier for me to get there if you're hurting yourself for minimal gain. Unless you have a lot of guys with keywords that can take advantage of that...

As a designer, improving the win percentage is the last thing on my mind when deciding on final inclusions for my cube. That'll come down to the individual player and what decisions they make through draft and gameplay. I'm only here to provide them with the tools and options to get there. It's...

Eh, I wouldn't go that far. Season 8 was pretty awful and put me off of ever watching the series again. And that's from someone who really loved the show, had many rewatches of the early seasons, and ended up reading all the books after the 1st season was completed. It's just so important to...

I find that while Mono-Green itself is kind of mediocre and is usually relegated to a ramp strategy on my side (though I avoid "super-fatties" that are unplayable otherwise), G/x decks can shine by introducing different forms of Midrange gameplay. GB Grindy Graveyard Stuff: The Gitrog Monster...
