Anyone running Rx equipment? It saddens me a little when I realize that I'm more excited to see commons than I am to see the mythic rares.

That's one of my other issues - a 3/3 flyer with flash for 3U is already slightly above the curve. Why'd they have to muddy that up?

There are multiple reasons why this horse makes me sad. The biggest one is that I was actually looking forward to the instant-speed-foretell effect, but I didn't want all of that on top of it.

That's what I was implying. :p

I completely missed that Koll only boosts tokens. I see why they did it, but it's still kinda meh. Ancestral BladeMask of Immolation

I think the big thing is that pair archetypes are usually just a very specific take on a broader archetype. Take Ninjas, for example - there are ways to make creatures evasive in all five colors (Green doesn't really do it in the right way to support Ninjas, though), and "creatures that do...

... Is there anything stopping you from slipping a token into the same sleeve as a card that makes it? Put an appropriately colored Basic in with cards that don't make tokens. I mean, this isn't a perfect solution, especially if you don't want people to pull cards out of the sleeves... but...

Huh. I kinda hope that WotC will eventually go whole-hog and start printing stuff with "Copy target permanent". It's interesting that this works with tribal...

I think the Deprive lock should be fine in Cube, since we're singleton. Part of the reason it's so obnoxious in constructed is that you can run redundant copies of each part. I'd test it, at the very least.

One of my favorite semi-casual decks is a Snake-themed Eternal Command deck with a lot of early cantrips/TOL manipulation to get away with being a control-y deck with only 20 lands. This, alongside the Izzet Saga, make me wonder whether or not I should make an Izzet version of that deck once...

I'm not going to lie - I love the look of the Snow lands. Hopefully this means that they'll be cheap for a little while. I kinda want to see how this plays: It looks like a fun midrange-y threat that probably won't be GRBS. Anyone running a Green Devotion theme just got a new toy.

There are actually people who want Mystic Sanctuary banned in modern because it can pull off a pretty decent softlock with Cryptic Command, and because you can grab it with fetchlands. I think it should be alright in Cube, though.

Yeah, Deprive is basically a Landfall signpost. "Take this card and you have a cheap counterspell that enables all of your landfall synergies".

OK, look at this beauty: Look at it. If you don't hit a Giant, it's a slow Deliberate. That's already a solid baseline. If you have a Giant in your hand... this basically pays for itself while also shocking your opponent. This is nasty.

I'll honestly say that that's kind of encouraging, depending on the kind of vibes - Yugioh is a game with an interesting mechanical base that was utterly ruined by later design choices. This is something I had initially missed, and it very much makes the mechanic more interesting. To the...

Deprive really wants Mystic Sanctuary

But that second ability is so distracting. :p Oh, and, umm... we got a boring Foretell card last time: EDIT: The Elephant was the boring one. Just to clarify.

I'll be honest, I completely forgot about that +1/+0 to Dwarves. The thing is that her baseline is great (2/1 for 1R that gives other dwarves +1/+0 and makes mana whenever a Dwarf taps), but I'd feel like that flashy final ability is probably going to be really misleading. UG tempo already...

That would require there to be things that we're psyched for. ;) In all seriousness, there are cards that I'm looking forward to messing around with in kitchen table decks. But that'd be a bit off-topic, considering that this is a forum about Cube. EDIT: Like, I'm kinda excited to see Dwarf...

I mean, the Changelings look like they're interesting, at the very least?
