once upon a time

A lot of it is fueled by the cards printed in those 15 years. There's much more complexity, nuance, and variety available at higher power levels than ever before. It allows for substantially more refined levels of curation and theory. In the past, you had to dip down to lower power levels, break...

It depends on the matchup, the hand, and when you can catch an opponent tapped out. Sneak being able to drop multiple hasted threats in a single turn changes the calculus a lot compared to something like Manual. I do like that the manual activation is instant speed. Being an artifact is always...

The timing on our posts is too funny Yeah, I still like it for giving Aggro a combo quality, but I think it might be better as icing on the cake than a dedicated deck Have you tested it? It’s intriguing This may be a legitimate path once the new Eldraine set releases. It feels a couple...

So I feel pretty happy with the artifact sacrifice pile as the third archetype. Turning my attention towards the 4th Gruul archetype... I wish I felt good about Green's contributions to the Sneak Attack deck, but with Feldon of the Third Path fading out of relevance, See the Unwritten being...

Wow, I didn't realize it's been nearly 9 months since my last post in here. Let's change that. (Incoming ramble) I'm slowly chipping away at an updated primer (so much has changed since v3) while I wrestle with the last 2% of my list. My struggle over the last handful of cards relate a lot to...

Throne of Eldraine was one of the more impactful sets for cube in the past several years so I'll take a second serving of any of that. But specifically: More proactive food-based cards More adventure (would love to see a creature with adventure and an ETB) Outside of food, ELD also dropped...

Keep crushin' it Dom!

It's unfortunate that there isn't another good Living Death card....I tried Twilight's Call for a while, but it's not very good. I've always wanted a secret 5c Living Death archetype with a bunch of the cycle bros: Timeless Dragon Angel of the Ruins Curator of Mysteries Waker of Waves Archfiend...

Lórien Revealed Troll of Khazad-dûm Generous Ent How do you think these fair in a higher powered context? I'm looking at changing to a double shock double fetch manabase and the land cycling mode is a pretty appealing baseline. I see they are getting some play in legacy and modern (even outside...

Invasion Block is one of my favorite eras of magic. Windmill slamming the OG.

This at 2 triggers on over a 1/3 of my cube. It doesn’t have any thematic value, but seems pretty dang good

I’m intrigued by green animating artifacts….it’d be great to see a deranged hermit-like card that makes multiple food while statically animating noncreature artifacts. That’s the type of connective piece that selesnya could really use

#1: the 1st RKF art posted. Feels more appropriate to what the card does than the 2nd. Iconic. #2: the 2nd RKF art posted. #3-#5: hate the rest equally

1 - Original: I almost always favor the original printing as it tends to be the most iconic. When I think of Inferno Titan there is only one art. It embodies its creature type. It's suppose to be human-like 2 - Secret Lair: The most visually interesting in a vaccum, but not for playing. Feels...

Only serious cube business these days

I like a lot of these changes! I like the explicit combo card cuts...there's so many flexible organic "combo" options available now...cards that have wider appeal, that progress the game in an interactive way, all while maintaining a degree of explosiveness. I've been considering Vindicate for...

I just realized you can sacrifice Rockets where x=0. I like that a lot more. It's still no Chromatic Star, but better than Terrarion by a country mile.
