    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Rampaging Baloths A 6-drop with ramp will always feel underwhelming or at least not super high powered to me – but I also notoriously undererstimate landfall cards. Is it crazy to run Baloths at lower power? Would you say it is worse/better than Honored Hydra?

    [500] CCC - Casual Champions Cube

    Another thought that recently plagued me was how my green section might be a little too divers. So, for each color there are 3-4 themes that usually can only be a deck's main idea if you add at least one other color. For example, for white that is: Blink (mostly {W/U}, sometimes {W/B}) Tokens...

    I once had an idea how to potentially craft a cube that allows for more-like-constructed decks being drafted. The idea might be shit but I'll share it anyway, maybe you could build upon. It was about a smaller draft (2×15 or 3×10, you'd have to figure that out) from a singleton draft pool. And...

    Happy holydays to all my riptiders. And may the upcoming year be like a super fun 3-0 draft for all of you.

    Are there ways to bounce or blink the trinket? Then synthesizer all the way. If not it's closer and I'd lean towards the card that doesn't create a unique token.

    I think I might try Temporal Spring. It has that certain elegance of Apocalypse gold cards. Yeah, I think it will be very playable. It's almost Vindicate if you squint, right? Nothing that makes you force {G}{U} but a reward for being on that track. And I don't mind the Uproot mode. As a gold...

    Yeah, that's awesome, I'm running two copies in my RAV block cube to give simic some interaction. But this is for my main cube where I don't have 0/0s running around :/ Plaxmanta is cool, but what I'd prefer would be something that interacts with opposing threats in some way.

    What is your favorite {G}{U} interaction? I currently only have good ol' Mystic Snake. I also really like Dreamdew Entrancer, but I found out it was the best card in BLB limited, A+ with the same winrate as Sword of Fire and Ice, so I assume it has to be too strong for my cube. Aether...

    It's nice with ... Saber Ants Which actually was in a very early iteration of my cube as lower powered Wildfire support :D

    Oooh, I keep forgetting about Orcish Lumberjack. I really want to try him, now that I run occasionals. Now I have to reconsider. Living Twister is cool too, but not cool enough for me personally.

    Oh, right, I would love (!) to run Rydia. So far I only have not because I run 0 sagas currently – there are some cool ones but surprisingly few that do something with multiple themes in my cube. I guess I would like to change that before I add her. Or I could proxy a version without the second...

    What are some cool {R}{G} gold cards that could be fun in low/mid powered cubes? I currently have these three that I like: Stormbind Meria, Scholar of Antiquity Escape into the Wilds I am also on Goblin Anarchomancer and Territorial Kavu, but neither one does really spark joy. And since all my...

    Is granting flying maybe also enough for you? Because this one had really overperformed for me (looting strong). Zephyr Boots

    General [Almost Daily] Every Set in Magic, Cube Edition

    Often I ignore commander releases. Too wordy, too powerful, too niche. But this one had a real gem for me: Mistmeadow Vanisher What a hit. A splashable hybrid that actually fits the art style and vibe of Shadowmoor, a nice blink enabler that isn't parasitic at all because it is at least a...

    That reminds me of a question I've had for quite some time now: How can Maralen of the Mornsong be queen of the fae when she's an elf?

    That being said, so many things in my cube have the words "when" or "whenever" in their textbox, so I'd consider giving him a shot. I'm just not so sure, if his ability is understandable enough for newer players.

    100% agree and another advantage a well-fitting fantasy UB set has over a set where wizards has the freedom to do bs like this.
