It's a fair suggestion, but I'd much rather cut Hound than Blades. Vertical growth is an axis of play that I very much want to maintain, and double strike is one of the few ways to make vertical growth feel more explosive. Agreed. I never really understood the appeal of Cavalier before, but...

Rage-Hound was my first thought as well. It's perhaps a little on the cute side. I'm pretty sure I cut Helm for Hound. My rationalization for Hound at the time: Unescaped, the hound dies to everything, but kills roughly 75% of the creatures in my cube in combat. Escaped, it kills closer to 85%...

I'm glad that you brought up Ogre-Head Helmet, because I was thinking of finding space for it yesterday. Helm was in the first round of NEO includes, but was squeezed out due to my hesitancy over the three mana equip cost. However, after seeing how reconfigure plays out in NEO limited I'm...

I gave it a little burn 25 years when a friend gave me a handful of cards to help me build a deck when I was still learning the game lol It’s….pretty bad. It’s slow. Dies to everything. Telegraphs your intentions while tying up all your mana.

Awesome!!!!

I will add that that its general utility decreases the higher your mana curve is. For instance, you'd like to be able to play it on turn 3 before playing a land for the turn so that you can play a land, 1 drop, or 2 drop off the trigger...then you can sacrifice it on turn 5-6, get the token and...

I like it. It's solid for delirium, great with welders and other artifact support. It appreciate how it incentivizes aggressive/low mana curves....which is a nice quality for a card that also offers Ichor Wellspring-like durdletown action. It's fun with things like Shepherd of the Flock...

Titania, Protector of Argoth Gut check: how reasonable and fun is Titania these days? I know it'd be good in my environment. It's been on my personal "banned" list for years....but my format's speed is picking up, removal is getting a bit better, and Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar is feeling a...

Yeah, my blue and red spell suite is centered around looting rather than spell volume. I cut most of the spell volume support cards like Young Pyromancer, Magmatic Channeler, Saheeli Sublime Artificer and Monastery Mentor. I don't support Magecraft. I run Careful Study instead of Ponder...

I've run Rielle since Ikoria was released, and it has historically been an overperformer for me. Before Containment Construct was printed it was the primary weaponizer of the izzet discard deck in my cube. The lack of evasion and 3 toughness usually keeps it out of combat in my experience. It's...

I really really like Smith, but it requires such a high density of artifacts to be good. It has bounced in and out of my list a lot. About 25% of my cube are artifacts or produce artifacts and that still doesn't feel like enough. Nan is at about 19% in the multiplayer cube 22% in the 1v1 list...

Yeah, most of those are pretty high octane in the right context. My dredge and discard/madness oriented aggro decks can be stupid fast. It's easy enough to dial up the power of discard and graveyard strategies in black and red based guilds by omitting efficient exiling effects (graveyard and...

Probably my Alpha Berserk. I had a couple years where I ran a tricked out peasant cube, with all alpha and beta versions of cards. Then when I retired that list to start the GCC, I sold all of them to fund it. The berserk was in the peasant cube and carried over and that’s why I still have it...

Ah, so that's why you won :D

I'll echo this sentiment. Arkbow never worked out for me.

Boseiju is super absurd for constructed formats, but I'm not really worried about any of the cycle being problematic in my cube. I'll only be cubing boseiju and eiganjo for now, but I'm picking up one of each just in case.

Yeah it’s perfect thematically for my cube, but won’t touch it

I meant to acknowledge that shelldock and windbrisk are easily the best and super playable

Mosswort Bridge is borderline. The others aren’t really playable

Windbrisk Heights is great. Swinging with three creatures isn’t that difficult, and sometimes you swing when you wouldn’t normally attack to net the hideaway card. My favorite part is that you can rebuy it with: kor skyfisher Shepherd of the flock Flickerwisp Felidar guardian And can be...
