Only thing that hasn't been mentioned yet for me is Swarm Shambler: It's a weird hybrid of Chronomaton and Thorn Lieutenant but the ability also triggering off other creatures with counters getting targeted makes me think it'll just barely be good enough with all the synergies. (plus...

Likely won't ever be cheaper in Cube (unless you let your drafters go really deep), but the land versatility is there...

Been playing some standard. Anyone trying Primal Might? The combination of Prey Upon and bad Fireball that lets you fight is at least tempting to me.

From a cube-card standpoint, I'm mad about Bradley because History of Benalia has no other art. Every Nielsen card I'm running (Eternal Witness, Natural Order, and the promo Chandra, Torch of Defiance) has alternatives that I can buy once this pandemic's over (I'm not running Fact or Fiction...

Jeez, I've never seen Glademuse before in my life. That's a spicy one even if it's symmetric.

I've been using mythicspoiler, I didn't know goldfish existed and was that fast! (...is this a preprint from Zendikar Rising? That would be a good gimmick.)

I have been checking things before I assume they're new, because I kept thinking reprints of random crap like Hungry Flames were new... but then I stopped. And then the first card after I stopped was a reprint. Well done, self.

M21 spoiler ahead, if someone is still avoiding those: Dunno to what extent assuming all spells are cantrips works (because most obviously are not), but it's a route to consider. Most of the rest of the draw-twos aren't great, but Irencrag Pyromancer is viscerally tempting. Improbable Alliance...

The trigger makes me at least slightly tempted. You'd have to be really tribal, though.

It doesn't go infinite, unlike all the other cards (Unicorn, Grumgully, Anafenza, Rhythm, etc), but in return it's a big body and you can pay for the flicker. Tentatively interesting at least.

Heh. There's also a common that's just Abbot of Keral Keep without the trigger if, somehow, you need a Prowess Minotaur Piker [edit, a fifth? That's what Target Minotaur does?!]

I don't know if anyone here actively has a Pauper cube, but if you ever wanted Cauldron Familiar to be a common, somehow, Jumpstart has your back.

And the moors are confirmed to be a full cycle, Heath/Isle/Moor/Bluff/Grove.

The literal first new card we've seen is actually a pretty spicy one. I assume this is a cycle, and it almost feels like Vivid lands in that it'll be "fine" in a two color deck but really pop off in 5c. I'm avoiding, obviously.

Has anyone ever tried Masterful Ninja? I can't tell if "uncounterable, pro-sorcery 0 mana 1/1 haste" is too strong, too weak, or something in between. Obviously best with anthems, Ninjas, and similar things that pay you off for having a tiny creature. Worth noting that it shouldn't keep +1/+1...

Add another to the pile, if you're a lifegain-matters kinda builder:

Scornful Egotist

This is apparently a theme, there's also an uncommon 1U 2/1 that taps or untaps target nonland permanent with the same triggering condition, but this is the one I'm interested in.

Anyone been testing Lovestruck Beast? It has been so good for me in Standard and seeing people play it in Pioneer as well made me start thinking about it...

Doom Foretold I know somebody was asking about this a while back, I just wanted to point out that Sam Black's SCG article today brought up that you can sacrifice Demonic Pact to your own Doom Foretold and this seemed like the right thread.
