Funnily enough, I was thinking of the WAR proliferate cards when I typed that up! It may have been a hot mess of a set for standard, but I think that WAR is secretly one of the top five draft sets from the last five years.

FWIW, I was on the mono-nongreen aggro plan and passed the chainwalker in favor of a Dryard Militant on P7. Take that data point as you will. I also didn't see much upside to working with either the Elemental or the proliferate packages. They seem super slow/delicate in comparison with ramp or...

Has anyone else run "small storm?" How was it? I'm also vaguely interested in it, but it feels like most cubes either Support Storm or don't have anything with storm at all. I just want Crow Storm to be a real win con.

It's not unbeatable per se, but Kenrith is a fine 5c payoff insofar as he's pretty strong when you have access to multiple of abilities. However, his greatest strength is his flexibility, in that he's perfectly fine in a 3/4C deck, and still does a fair bit of work in, say, a Lorehold deck...

LadyMapi, is that you using Brad's account??

As Chris pointed out in another thread today, MPCautofill will fix all of these pesky money problems. But on the actual topic, I think that even drafting these would be way too swingy. The way I'd balance them is by covering the life/hand size modifier and figuring out a way to auction them (in...

Chris, I'm agreeing with you! Without MPC, I'd be super broke.

Yeah, they're obviously not for direct comparison, just for general power-level anchoring because that's always the issue with these sort of things. Edit: to clarify, the question is whether or not it would be laughed out of any room containing Tireless Tracker.

Chris, it's not the cards I'm buying, it's that new-card smell. MPC can't replicate that, so it's dead to me. (In all honestly, MPC is a beautiful thing and saves me a lot.)

Dammit, don't convince me to spend money on fetches, Jason.

If you're looking to establish the archetype, Aerialist is the clear winner here, as it's a threat. The bat is fine if you're looking to flesh out the archetype and have a surplus of slots, as it is flexible enough to be both a threat and an answer simultaneously, but it's definitely a reward...

THE SIXTH DETERMINATION!

Selection: 5!

How is Elder of Laurels? I remember it being bonkers in ISD draft. Is it still good in Cube, or is it mostly too inefficient when played alongside, say, an Oran-Rief Ooze or even a Tireless Tracker? Obviously the latter is the high-water mark in terms of power in Green MV3 creatures, but I'm...

I think that the fact that Reggie draws this much debate is what makes it a great Cube card regardless of where precisely it stands in your power band, tbh.* Having a card that requires extra thought is a big plus in my book. *Provided it's inside your power band, ofc. Which it probably is, as...

Reggie really changes in strength based on the availability of tokens and cheap removal, but it's almost always better Baneslayer than Baneslayer. Even if you're just chumping, he demands a sacrifice every turn or takes a third of your life, as opposed to most similar threats which will take a...
