Agreed on both counts. The biggest loss for me with this swap, is that the Impulse is a solid early game play, allowing you to get full value from your 2 cards over 2 turns. The Archive is much better later, but still playable on turn 3 or something if you are desperate for a land. I recently...

Not a lot for me, but some important additions for my MP cube: Jetmir’s Garden Completes the triome cycle and further facilitates splashes. Happy to bring back Territorial Kavu as a huge beater for Gruul thanks to the added land types on this cycle. Scion of Draco looks fun too, but not...

I am in the same boat. However, I would argue that you want your card draw earlier than with your 7 drop. Drawing cards throughout the game is a great way to keep both players engaged and keep the game moving forward. It also lets you hit your land drops to get to that 7 mana more reliably...

Reading the card explains the card…think I had it confused with the new Spirited Companion. Please proceed!

I get that feeling, but don't you have a life gain theme also? If I am remembering correctly, this would be an amazing glue card!

A few fights I'd like to get opinions on! Wayfarer's Bauble vs Expedition Map I like triggering landfall off an artifact, but I also have some juicy Map targets (creature lands in all colors, Tolarian Academy, Gaea's Cradle, Urza's Saga, Field of the Dead, ...). Ox of Agonas vs Bedlam Reveler...

In -> out plumb the forbidden -> night’s whisper the worst case scenario is much better for NW, but it lacks in the gameplay department compared to PtF. PtF being instant means you can react to removal and you can mass sacrifice for aristocrat and magecraft triggers. I’ve thought about Village...

Those are some good options, thanks Train. Thank you for the insight Kirblinx. I’m going to take a page from you both and make the following changes: Out->in Cryptic Command -> Aether Spellbomb Bonehoard -> Blood Forged Battleaxe Out goes the command and in comes another piece of...

I don’t know about that one. A few other reasons come to mind. 1. Less time spent updating the cube. We spend a lot of time thinking about cube design, but some people just want to play and not worry about the design aspect as much. 2. Potentially more budget if less cards are included...

You talk about doomblading your way into the opponent's face, I think you could extend that into Blue. You already have Snap Echoing Truth Aether Spellbomb You could probably add cards like Waterfront Bouncer Brazen Borrower Wonder To further ciment the aggro-combo deck in Blue and play...

Ended up keeping the Fiend Artisan out of the six cards listed. The cheap mana value, late game scalability and hybrid mana are too much to overlook. I'd like cut a few 4+ mana Blue value cards and replace them with Blue proactive creatures. After all, games need to end! Adds Stormwing...

Hedron Crab Can be a powerful enabler depending on your themes. Spectral Sailor Has been decent in most non-controlling Blue decks. If you are holding interaction and nothing happens, you draw. If you are flooding out, you draw. (Saw you already have it in your cube. Oops). Ascendant Spirit...

Just yesterday, I added it back to my MP cube, as a way to boost creature damage, have wrath protection and a source of card advantage. All that while being an artifact really makes for a solid card. The discard would be even more potent in your cube. If you can palate the mana cost, Cavalier...

I would like to add 5 extra fixing lands to the cube. For spoiler reasons, let’s say 5 Prismatic Vista. I need cuts! Syndic of Tithes is one I personally love for its reach and life gain, but isn’t essential. Izzet Charm is too similar to Prismari Command, so it can go (or is it the other way...

@blacksmithy If the cube were just for me, the Antique Collector would be in here. But I know the other players won't be on board. @Erik Twice There are definitely cool options for lower power. I am pretty sure ravnic has them all in his cube (like Mother Bear). However, your comments...

Looking at your list I noticed you have a lot of of enchantment based ramp. I imagine these are there as resilient sources of ramp. However, looking at your Temur colors, I notice you have Jace, Vryn's Prodigy Stormwing Entity Young Pyromancer Bedlam Reveler Dragonsguard Elite Quandrix...

I’ve definitely thought about the Mandrils, but it ends up just short for me. It’s just a beatstick with no recursion for a little less mana. Like a 3 mana 4/4 is decent, but not exciting (I have it in my 1vs1 cube because I agree that it’s really solid). In the same vein, I love Wild Mongrel...

Some swaps I want to try (out -> in) Prismatic Ending -> Emeria's Call Prismatic Ending is a powerful removal spell, but it has a few things going against it. The biggest gripe I have is the sorcery speed. Responding to opponents attacking you is very important in staying alive, so instant...

I think the ease of assembling Titania + Cataclysm or any of the Wildfires goes against the finesse your cube is cultivating. It’s just a brute force combo that doesn’t leave a lot of room for counter play. You are better suited to figuring out if that is indeed the case. I suspect you already...

I agree with your takes, it was a good read. I think one of the challenges is to choose which and how many utility lands you want to run. My favourite are the DnD creature lands right now. However, I could see a White section running these 3 to great success: cave of the frost dragon Eiganjo...
