Lucky Paper's survey results are in! Big takeaway: this is one of the biggest sets for cube on record for average # of cards tested (it's in my top 3 with Midnight Hunt and MH2!), even if there's not much consensus on what folks are including outside of the top few cards. Sounds about right...

I adore both for both GY shenanigans sake and for supporting spells decks, but they've been comparatively unpopular to other two drops and have been at the cusp of my cube for the last year. I'm committed to keeping them in over generic aggro beaters, but it's hard to justify two dudes with 1...

NEW SUPERDROP!!! (I don't know why I sound so excited, I'm only moderately excited here). Love these. Don't love spending $30 on each land drop, but I also want to own every mountain ever printed and do want these all in my ever-growing cube box, so sure, let's do it. Don't run any of...

It's just an aesthetic preference. It looks messy, and makes the cards look inconsistent in the cube. I don't need extreme uniformity, but breaking beyond the established frame of the card doesn't have any benefit to me to justify its extreme differentiation. More real estate for art is good for...

Honestly, this is a good card for my list -- it hits more spells than Negate as a hard counter! Going to have to find room for it, especially since I do run both of the cards you listed. Yep, it's definitely earning a spot in my cube, very excited to play with that little crab guy.

I think the fact that they're design mistakes is lessened by their legendary status -- Valakut was a menace for what, a decade? It's a cool card, but it's so hard to interact with lands in modern Magic that I don't like this kind of importance being put on their non-mana abilities unless it's a...

So I'm looking at 25 inclusions for my 720 cube this set: tied with Midnight for most inclusions from a premiere expansion. I think many of these are just about at replacement quality with cards I already have in my list, and many of those I wouldn't keep if I were to cull my list in size, so I...

I've never been embarrassed to run Complicate even at my power level and this seems like it's got more upside, even ignoring the near-uncounterability of Channel and its ability to counter abilities as well. Wild! I love accidentally having a fat artifact creature in my graveyard after using my...

Neat dog. It's Champion of the Parish but triggers off of 50~ more cards (149 to 99 in my cube), even if it sees a ~30% decrease in white cards that trigger it (29 to 19). Will probably include as an "in addition to" rather than an "instead of", but I like this ability and I've been keen on...

Blade of the Oni This card feels like it was made for the Arena Cube. It's good early game, still useful mid-to-late game, and is interesting without being overly wordy. Wish I liked the art for it more, but it's not bad, it just doesn't look like a creature, and the neon frame one doesn't look...

Just started following this, and I'm sorry I had missed it before!! This is super cool, excited to see where it goes and potentially print it out or even make my own version

Card is super neat but it's a lot to take in at once, I don't think I could fairly expect folks seeing this card for the first time to reasonably evaluate it while flipping through 14 other cards at a time in a draft, let alone make full sense of it on first pass. Every modern set really...

As someone who cubed with Worship for way too long, I'm sorely tempted by this one...even if white 3s are too busy for me even at 720 cards.

Seems pretty good. Not the most embarrassing rate for an equipment that provides double strike to begin with, but also is in a better color for buffing power than white. I think all of the 2 MV double strikers are pretty close to being high enough power level for cube, and red hasn't had one...

There's already a dozen cards I'm excitedly looking forward to testing, wow! Leaning away from Scrap Welder even though it's my jam in a hundred ways, just because it's a bit too fair and too slow. Would love to play literally any cube that can justify it though.

I thought the livestream was tomorrow?

I played it for about two years. It's supposed to be a cute card for Sneak Attack-styled decks that helps draw you into your fatties worst-case, but it ended up being too fragile on too many dimensions. Honestly, a 4th toughness would've saved it. The fact that it takes its summons with it when...

The Wanderer art looks sick. Not so impressed with Tezzeret but that's OK.

Kairi is much better than I gave her credit for the first go-around, I figured there wouldn't be a MV high enough to make me interested in the card. Technically there's still not, but she's quite good at saying "nope" to your opponent's entire board if they kill her, which makes her probably...

All 5 dragons leaked: All 5 are seriously playable. The black one is certainly my favorite of all the recent attempts to make an impactful 5 drop in the color, and while it's not a strict upgrade for most of my five-drops in white, I'm a big fan of both of Ao's death triggers in addition to...
