Yeah, I should try Hollow One again. It's a cool, powerful card that fits in many archetypes. The card I'm less happy with right now is: Magus of the Wheel I wonder if there's another red three-drop that could replace it. I should also replace the greedy Tinker Mage with Bazaar Mage or...

I haven't said anything in a long time, but I've kept working on my cube. In fact, I think it's practically "complete". There are a couple flaws, like how Gruul Madness aggro via Wild Mongrel isn't really there but I think it's 95% the way I want it to be. Feel free to make any suggestions...

I'm looking for a 5 mana black wrath or just suggestions of black sweepers in general that are not Damnation.

Rite of Belzenlok is indeed pretty weak. The reason is that it doesn't do anything for three turns. If you play it on turn four, you won't be attacking until turn seven. A 4/4 flyer would have done more damage in the meantime and you can get one of those with an upside, like Nightmare...

I'm sorry, but I like making others miserable. That's why I've created the Misery cube, where everyone is given 3 Smokestacks and 2 Stasis at the start. Divine Intervention is a beautiful piece of design and a P1P1 if you don't get any Mox Diamonds (Of which I run a couple).

It plays better, it's more useful and it's much better in a cube environment. I just wish it was as clean in wording.

The problem with Oracle is the massive wall of text. Laboratory Maniac is so much cleaner I wish it was the better card.

I feel I'm close to completing my cube but I'm one white and one black card short. Any random suggestions? I'm all ears.

In my experience, Jadelight Ranger is much better than Merlfolk Branchwalker but neither has been great for me. Seeing two cards makes Ranger a pretty solid card, but Branchwalker is often a 3/2 that does nothing.

I remember playing the April cube and it was awful. Very color-clunky with bomb after bomb dropping into the battlefield. But I'll give another chance since it's free.

I think the card is a bit questionable. After all, it has two and a half restrictions (Only certain creatures, you need an equipment and it must be equipped to it) to save 1 mana on a good but not great effect. I just wonder if it wouldn't be just better to run a more traditional card like...

More than trying to keep it hidden, what works is provinding people an incentive to give it a pass or ignore it or look the other way.

I just wish Verdurous Gearhulk costed six instead of five. It's a card I like very much, but it's just so good in pure raw numbers that its synergies just don't matter.

I'm not saying you should flex on your opponents, but wasting a Liliana Ultimate on Demonic Pact seems a good way to do it.

I was leaning towards Druid for historical reasons but your point about inexperienced players really gave me pause. I'm already pushing quite above what my group will handle and I really doubt they'll see how broken Druid's self-mill is. Judith is just a more fun, broader card. It helps with...

Hermit Druid vs Satyr Wayfinder Would love to hear your thoughts on this one!

That's a very ugly way of solving the problem, but it's clear putting it on your hand any other way would still be broken. Oh well.

I'm liking it quite a bit. While worse than Wildfire for, well, Wildfire decks will run it. It does all you want to do and discarding is not that big of a problem. But it also makes BR Pox decks more viable, which is a fun and interesting archetype. I think Wildfire decks can do well against...

Depending on your power level, consider: Retrofitter Foundry Which I've liked a lot as crossarchetype support.

I also want to say one thing: I think we are overstating a bit the degree by which these cards are autopick. While they are always great, it's not often as clear in drafting what you should pick. For example: Lightning Bolt Pia and Kiran Nalaar Mana Leak Llanowar Elves Necromancy Bloodsoaked...
