But in retail limited having a flier that can gain shroud, pump itself, and untap itself just wins games without support. You don't need to combine that card with Fire Whip (or any other cute combo piece for that matter) in order to make it better than mediocre. Like yeah Morphling might be...

Morphling is too good in a retail context most of the time, save for really fast formats. Horseshoe Crab is an absolute lad who deserves a chance to shine.

Honestly half of these cards are just good. And the other half are contextually good in a lot of environments. And Crow Storm is funny.

FNAF?

I don't see why they would be triggering– they do tap for mana in their own right! @blacksmithy care to explain?

Well, all of them, but specifically the first one that loaded, which is Ancient Boneyard.

I really like this design!

I was going to suggest this card as well, it is really fun!

I'd like some more context than simply "Cube with land untappers," but I would imagine it is a little better as an engine piece than it might otherwise be. The fact that this card doesn't tap for mana in its own right makes it a little bit sketchy in general, unfortunately. However, if you can...

I mean, I've kind of done that with my Cube recently. The fixing is slightly skewed towards the enemy color combinations because I run the Triomes in addition to a color-balanced selection of Fetch and Dual lands. The dual land composition also varies a little by color. Every color gets a...

Wow these two are really pretty.

I don't agree with your reasoning here, and I'm going to explain why, but I want to start by saying that your underlying position (committing to an additional color has to mean something) is totally valid. An undesired "5 color soup" problem plagues many Cubes, and that can often lead to...

This card is so good, I love it. It's grave hate, fixing, and a cantrip all in one card. So much value. So much synergy. Great card, 10/10 would play again.

I can concur, the unique cards you lose from having more fixing is well and truly made up for by the wacky decks that can become viable with better fixing– especially if you're playing enough untapped lands to make multicolor aggro viable. A little bit of extra fixing goes a long way :D

I don't like Lier at all, I think she has a worse floor than Kess because she costs more and doesn't have built-in evasion, but has a higher ceiling because she lets you cast as many spells each turn as you can afford. Cards with high internal power bands usually do not fix the issues of...

Maybe I should use this slot to test Croaking Counterpart :texas::mp:

You know, I've been playing this card a lot lately and it has been really fun. It's a nice chunky reanimation target that sets the opponent back when it enters or dies, but doesn't end the game so quickly that they just auto-lose for facing this. Being only a 5/5, this guy takes a little while...

I really like a lot of these changes, I think you generally cut a bunch of clunky cards and added things with broader flexibility and utility. I'm not a big fan of losing Boon of the Wish-Giver in a Cube with a heavy cycling/discard theme. It has one of the most flexible cycling costs around...

I think this card is much better than Fires of Yavimaya, but there are definitely better things Gruul can be doing. That said, I have always enjoyed playing with this card, and it's not terrible if your Cube has a 1-3-4 ramp curve. I wouldn't touch this if you're not on one mv mana dorks, though.
