I don't see how that list was relevant to my point? This set is not elegant with the majority of its designs. A lot of cards are clunky to read through and feel disjointed. A lot read more like custom cards than fine-tuned inclusions to a finished set. Hell, you have a whole cycle of rare deans...

I was hoping to see more Elite Spellbinder styled cards, but the majority of this set is just a bloated mess to me.

Yeah. I've had experience playing against it in EDH for a long time now and briefly ran her myself. As a Gravedigger effect at EOT she's completely fine at my power level. It's when you can start to free cast creatures that are 4 CMC+ (maybe even just 3 CMC+ in cube) that she gets out of...

If only Meren was literally just a Gravedigger trigger on each end step. She would be an all-time Golgari card for me because I think it's brilliant at its core. Unfortunately, Experience counters are one of the worst mechanics that they've ever churned out and the lack of elegance keeps me from...

Honestly, it's more in the last 2-3 years that I've seen designers dive into cube design with a more open mind in higher powered cube design. It's more being open to exploring different avenues to design than falling in line with what used to be the typical X is strong than Y, therefore replace...

So white just adds 2 life to Cathartic Reunion. That's pretty funny.

They're really using that I studied the blade flavor text? Oh lord.

Bolas's Citadel for me. I've got many reps with it in EDH at this point and I love it as a top-end card for black in Cube. It's not nearly as busted when you have only 20 life to work with, but it still feels like a great payoff at 6 mana. I also like it as a "fair" and exciting Welder/Tinker...

This is great, like a white version of Vendilion Clique. Delaying a Wrath effect on curve, and with evasion, is really good and the tax isn't reliant on the body sticking around ala Kitesail Freebooter. Human so it slots in well into Champion of the Parish W/x Aggro decks and a nice blinkable on...

Omnath is definitely powerful, but it doesn't really point anyone to a given deck. Sure, it's got the Landfall text but it isn't really a Landfall card as much as it is a Goodstuff card. Like even if I can't maximize Landfall triggers in my 4-5c Goodstuff pile, I'm rewarded for casting it...

Ikoria for me. That set was just a mess all around. This might be a close second though.

Not a fan of Lessons so far. Might change if a few are spoiled that are worth a card slot on their own within a cube, but this feels very much like energy so far where it'll be sweet in Limited but mostly parasitic elsewhere. Or cards that reference Lessons will just end up being narrow trinket...

I don't think it's necessarily bad to re-use a system that works this effectively. Factions are just fun for people to play with, are easily identifiable for the playerbase, and very easy to understand for the average player. It's a formula that's worked every time dating back to the original...

Super interesting stuff, neat to see where everyone's cubes are at relative to the entire CubeCobra database. Main continent is pretty diverse and interesting to traverse through, I'm getting a kick out of these little isles for specific cube builds. I like Commanderstralia in the East and my...

Just give me the enemy Battlelands. That's all I really want from this set.

I'd just run them both. Green non-creature cards kind of suck so you should definitely find slots for them.

I'd honestly just play them both. They're more interesting to play with than the vast majority of white one drops. I've never been disappointed in running either in my W/x Aggro decks.

I'd probably lean towards the Lake between those two options. Like Rasmus says, spell lands are "free" since they don't take up an actual card slot. Thrasios is kind of lame if you aren't using it as an infinite mana outlet ala EDH.

It just doesn't do enough on its own in a vacuum for many cubes. If you're in a format where everything is generating a ton of value left and right on ETBs, then Reveillark is kind of lackluster unless you're bringing back something busted from the get go. Even then, at 6 mana, you've probably...

This has happened to me multiple times in Commander. Shit sucks.
