Fwiw, you’ll probably wear your fingers out here if you approach card evaluations from this perspective alone. A good 75+% of cards discussed here won’t sniff your list, and most cards aren’t brought up as considerable in that type of context I realized I was being dismissive in my first...

The topic of feel bad effects occasionally comes up in low power settings...land destruction is the obvious bogeyman, but it may also extend to avoiding things like mill or counterspells. If you are running a low powered environment with these types of concerns you may run into a similar...

Cunning Rhetoric reads pretty bad to me for most cube settings. I see the fun appeal due to the randomness and the mini head game...but it’s probably more at home in a casual multiplayer format

What ground are you trying to cover with this slot is it more about the artifact synergy?

Yeah the self-mill angle can be pretty high octane and scales reasonably well based on the support and payoffs chosen. I’ve had some pretty degenerate games that started with entombing a golgari grave-troll

In addition to what’s been mentioned, there’s power matters/berserkers, land tilling (lands changing zones for profitable triggers), dredge, creaturefall, and creature toolbox strategies

Thanks, but I prefer to just ram my head into a wall for 2-3 hours a day every day until I pass from this plane of existence

Same. I don’t have the stamina to really jump into the thick of things, but I’m enjoying the back and forth outside of the momentary whiffs of dogma. :D My cube for the last several years has felt like a search for a power-max version of a riptide cube. I crave mana efficient spells and...

Chain is at its best when you are doing super cheaty things with baubles and Sai, Master Thopterist and the like...I think dbs runs it. Directed at your opponent is pretty situational in a typical cube context, and I can only assume that quality increases in a multiplayer setting rather than...

I have no idea what that is about. Tell me more

We need more inside jokes to get the most out of this. Less cube content more BTP

As long as I can have an emoji of my dog

Man, this hit me in the feels

Focusing on a card like Champion of the Parish makes more sense to me in making that context dependent argument. YP is different to me...even at a lower power level you could have things like retrace spells, firebolts, blast from the past, etc sitting in the yard to profit from. It definitely...

I have no stake in this YP discussion, but for the record I think that it can scale to fit a pretty wide range of power bands with the proper support. It’s a great card. I’m just started to feel like it’s getting squeezed out of my cube design

sure, but the lower the power level and less emphasis on efficiency and speed, the more space there is for exploratory drafting and discovery by wacky strategies I mean things like a simic ramp deck built around dredge and splendid reclamation more so than black aggro :D

Those wacky unexpected decks are more planned for here and the power level is lowered to make them viable
