I (almost) wish they printed this in paper, this is just a better Oath of Druids, right? There's a ton of cool applications for this, and I'd really enjoy it for the flexibility even though (maybe especially because) I don't run any meaningful tribal synergies in my list outside of some light...

Got tagged twice today! Let's do: Signal PestPorcelain Legionnaire Do we have any walkers yet? I would've included Hex Parasite if we did, but there's not much for it to interact with, wow. Tagging @Sheltem @Brad @Zoss @Peter LaCara

I was digging around Cube Cobra this morning and was interested to see what cube owners have actually been putting into their cubes, as opposed to what we see on discussion boards like this and others. Now, Cube Cobra isn't necessarily representative of the whole cubing community, nor is it a...

Arcbound Crusher tagging @Laz and @blacksmithy

The four-mana instant-speed removal spells seem pretty fair in most contexts -- if someone is keeping up 4 mana and you get blown out trying to cast an aura, I mean...they took off a turn with 4+ mana up for what was probably be a 1-for-1 in most other circumstances. Stuff like: Hagra...

I'd be more OK with the crazy release cycle if I wasn't able to grind a dozen drafts on Arena before the sets come out in paper even with a busy job and a toddler. By the time it's launch weekend and the cards start to come down to even approach reasonable prices, they already feel like "old...

nothing truer, @blacksmithy!! on a similar note, can someone explain to me why I still cube with this: Dragonlord Silumgar (played in over 3,000 cubes in a competitive guild, #7 most-cubed UB creature) but this is barely on mine, or many others' radars? Mind Flayer other than the fact...

If there's going to be an artifact theme, let's add my boy Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle. Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle Tagging @alvoi and @blacksmithy

For sure, Rancor is the better card, having a better effect (you're right that trample is the bonus here) and costing (3) less for each subsequent re-equip. But typically, by the time I'm replying Rancor, the mana isn't the biggest issue, and the flash of the Rapier is something of an upside...

I was thinking with the aura thread posted yesterday...isn't this just a red Rancor Dueling Rapier I'm really enjoying it in some of my AFR drafts. I don't think it's obscenely powerful or anything, but I've been respecting the +2/+0 effect more and more from my boy Rimrock Knight plenty, and...

Not counting reprints (I added something like 35 cards from Timespiral Remastered! and that doesn't include the old border MH1 reprints in MH2 collector's boosters or the Mystical Archive cards), I've added 51 cards printed first in 2021 to my cube. You can get a nice visualization by adding...

Great read, and I appreciated your focus on interesting gameplay, as that's what I'm always looking to maximize in my cube regardless of the powerlevel I'm keeping.

I was interested in it, but having to always crew with two creatures is a big cost, and you don't get ETB effects. I dunno, I'm still interested in it, but I'm going to wait until someone else proves it's good first.

Agreed with @TrainmasterGT - it basically plays like a less consistent 5-mana Gideon, Ally of Zendikar that can occasionally hit twice in one turn. It's sweet, but not powerful and/or interesting enough for my list since it's at such a competitive part of the curve.

Additional testing for the commander cards! Death Tyrant As discussed in the spoiler thread, I'm a big fan of this big eye. Love a recurring threat at the top of a curve, and plays nicely with multiple different archetypes in black I support. Maybe not too long for cube like so many other...

That's the cut I'm looking at. I think they're of similar power, and while I do enjoy Bontu, Death Tyrant is more flexible and fits into more decks, I imagine. The slot I'm considering it in is "2-drop colorless artifact ramp with upside", but for sure, those upsides are very different. I put...

Commander Cards from a Forgotten Realm....only one deck in out of four and there's already nearly as many quality cube cards as the main set!! This is a better Settle the Wreckage, right? This almost seems too powerful?? This isn't bad? A worse Fractured Identity in a less competitive...

Continued from above! As I just mentioned, I run a heavy token theme in red, and wouldn't really consider this card otherwise. I really respect the extra damage from the Devil tokens here, making this, to me, a better comparison with the cube favorite Gideon, Ally of Zendikar's 0 ability than...

My inclusions for the set! Please note, I care about the flavor of my cube enough but I know pretty much nothing about D&D beyond the very basic mechanics and yet I still think this set is neat. White Probably replacing either Glory-Bound Initiate or Imposing Sovereign, both of which are...

Earthcraft is great, but it's pretty fair if you don't have a lot of enablers. Love to see others playing Contamination. Great card, and it reminds me of why I first started cubing (as does Hokiri, now that I think about it!). I used to run Devastating Dreams, but not surprised it's in the...
