FWIW, if I had to pick a Flying Men, Pteremander would not top the list (That goes to Vault Skirge) - but I do think having the option to upgrade a dude by 4 power permanently for like, ~4 mana at instant speed, puts the lil guy in my top 5 - and I think he's the best if you end up doing...

I'd buy that line of reasoning if they hadn't printed any cards after RNA :p I do like the Arcane HTKAIMB though, that's pretty neat. Would be funny if there was a sort of Instant version of Nearby Planet - {0} Instant - Adventure Arcane Lesson Trap with like, no text. Learn it or Trapmaker's...

I have yet another conundra to pose: Lullmage Mentor VS Master of Waves Fish has been getting a lot better in my cube, and with the printing of Vodalian Hexcatcher I kinda want to see if Lullmage Mentor has legs. Plus the two of them + Baral signpost a kind of "Counterspell Tribal"...

It's basically build you own kicker, and it's embarrassingly weak as a mechanic because of that high power ceiling of "Free card". Doesn't mean it can't be abused, particularly in Pauper Petal Storm, but the fact that both the Arcane subtype usually means they've weakened the effect of a card...

Why did I even build a cube if I didn't want my players to be confused by me saccing Waterfront Bouncer to Vodalian Hexcatcher?

I mean, the Flashback does also happen a fair bit, but yeah I've never seen it bought back, and I think it got kicked in one of my cube drafts like, once - off the flashback. I also had the exact same reaction when I learned about the Buyback/Flashback interaction.

As a clarification, is it "all instants and sorceries are arcane" or can you splice onto like, enchantments and creatures cause that sounds fun as hell (Long Forgotten Gohei reducing everything by {1} and being an anthem would be nuts! p1p1 material!)

See, this is why we don't put Bojuka Bog in the basic land box

Yeah its very strong, but I gotta have early 2-for-1s to keep up with all of the free CA fast decks have access to now - so much incidental card draw, or strong ETB effects, or extra bodies, all so low on the curve that I feel more sorry for the controlling decks trying to trade 1-for-1 with...

That's the thing, it's gotten so much support recently you can do anything with it - and if you choose to, do multiple things at once with it, and have it interact with relevant cards in other archetypes and colours. Could go straight aggro, spam 2+ power 1-drops, cheap aggressive artifacts and...

Rector is effectively a one-card combo with the density of sac outlets in my cube, which is a little bit much at my power level. Replenish is either recurring enchantments that bin themselves, or enchantments I've had to draw/tutor for and then discard, or I'm spending an Entomb, and I...

As much as I love Ultimate Price and GFTT, I can't let Malicious Affliction go unmentioned It and Collective Brutality are easily my favourite pieces of conditional removal.

I love the Parallax Wave and Saproling Burst. But are you a true monster? Hesitation Standstill Edit: The more I think about it, the more I want to make room for Replenish in my cube as a sort of white version of Living Death. Just like Living Death, it overlaps with Astral Slide, but you get...

I know people who think this lil guy is a trap, and just a Flying Men with less relevant types. He's really not. Sure, he's no Tombstalker, but he does a pretty good impression while also actually being a t1 play!

I would love a Surveil Preordain and Curator of Mysteries (Maybe upgrading to surveil 2 as well to make it an absolute engine?). It'd make Sphinx of Foresight a lot more appealing, as well. And Cryptic Annelid, but probably only to me :P And while I'm at it, would it have killed them to have...

So you never get a 4th land, only way to make big mana plays is saving up treasure tokens? Sounds interesting, and a fun exercise to build and play. Disproportionately supports a Workshop Weenie style deck (Colourless threats, equipment, splash for activated abilities like Bomat or Scrounger) or...

Highly recommend Utopia (2013). British conspiracy thriller, only 12 episodes over 2 seasons, but that just means it's very tightly put together. Beautiful palette and colours in the cinematography, makes the whole thing feel like an indie comic book - which totally suits the tone. Not a fun...

Nope I mean Eternal. Got my old scourge foil, still in NM condition 'cause that bad boy is gorgeous. I mean, I have Timeless in the cube as well, but Eternal does good work in Slide just like he used to.

The only one I'd really recommend thinking hard about is Precursor Golem - it's just way too swingy. Try it, get one or two cool stories of huge plays or massive blowouts, then take it out is my advice :P

If Eternal Dragon is ever too weak for my cube, I'm going back to the drawing board in a big way :P
