Thought it was worth putting here for posterity, also because there are some changes I've considered since I posted the other day. Miles' Recommendations Sarah Jane SmithAstrid PethFrost Fair Lure FishThe Sea Devils Each of these cards provides something exciting and new that expands options...

Don't think it's going to be worth a thread to talk about includes, but it looks like I've got 4 -- much fewer than I would've anticipated, and only half of what made it in my cube from 40k and lasted the year since. Since I have very little awareness of 40k and love Doctor Who to bits, that's...

This is fun!

Kylie Minogue is a guaranteed inclusion in my cube. I was running Meriadoc Brandybuck for a moment and this is just so much better and does so many fun trinket things. Easy easy pick, even if I wasn't running trinkets-matter and legends-matter. Speaking of which... Would kill to run this if...

On an ELO basis, that makes sense. It's only played in 719 cubes as of writing, and most of the popular Cubes it's run in seem like Commander cubes or those restricted to Pioneer, etc. -- contexts where there are not very many strong GW creatures available. Interesting callout! I'm glad it's not...

Torsten, Founder of BenaliaGhalta and Mavren For a GW top-end card in my 720 list, I'm currently running Ghalta and Mavren, which is a very fun Timmy card. I just found out Torsten, Founder of Benalia exists, and it seems like it's probably better? Ghalta and Mavren still passes the Vindicate...

Thank you for mentioning this one @Rusje, I never want to miss a moment to hype up this card, which is the most Rakdos card in character I've ever played with, and unbelievably fun.

Apologies folks, here's the survey for Blood Crypt! Had issues logging into either of the previous free tools I used for these, but we're back baby. It's the Unfinity one: It's pretty cool! If we hadn't just gotten the Innistrad Blood Crypt, this would have become the sole UNF...

Day 17: Blood Crypt With the upcoming cycle of old-border shocks by Rob Alexander, I'll likely be swapping all of mine to those, but I currently run the Innistrad version because Rakdos is not my favorite aesthetic representation of BR nor is it the most representative of the vibes, in my...

Certainly we could get adventures in Ixalan, but my bet's that he's going to be the sole "Adventurer" unless someone else from Eldraine came through the Omenpaths with him. Him having Adventure is the mechanical/story through-line between sets IMO

Cube-related post this time! The No Good & The Forgotten: Notable Exclusions at CubeCon 2023

New Secret Lair basic cycles! We've actually been pretty sparse on these in 2023 compared to the last two years, and I have to say, these are both excellent. While I don't prefer full-art, both the Sumi-e and pixel art styles really take advantage of the verticality. The Plains and the Swamp...

Just like his dad, he gets spoiled with a new artifact trinket token that's not explained on the card. I'm gonna include him pretty much no matter what map tokens do, seems good. Not terribly motivated by my current Selesnya section, and I'd not be terribly embarrassed to run just the white...

Honestly I lost my mind when I saw these. How could they have possibly skipped over these in the preview panel? That Plains is an all-timer, and the forest isn't half-bad either. I adore the MesoAmerican styling on the mana symbols too, these are real neat.

Wrote an article about the Cube Rejects at CubeCon 2023, wish I were joining some of y'all! Who's going, btw?

I'm so mad at myself for loving all these dinosaurs... New Ghalta is a tier 2 reanimation target for sure but gets me so excited. I may have to boot worthier cards for my third version of him. Kind of sad the Ian Malcom card is not very good and hard to grasp on first read, but my cube is...

Honestly, this art makes me want to add this back in.

Getting eviscerated on Reddit for this from people who think anything positive about Universes Beyond is a sin against all sins, but this is an article more trying to uncover the "why" of Doctor Who from a business POV when it doesn't seem to be a good choice for UB at first blush. MtG and...

Yeah, you get a 2/2 and a food every turn. Is that better than 2 1/1s? I think so, on average.

Honestly, the Archon is way too strong compared to your other top-end, forget the other demon! I run Griselbrand and recently cut Archon of Cruelty for being too strong. With the mana cost, it's easier to play without cheating, and doesn't have the same dramatic downside to drawing cards that...
