I really like the +1 - it's very healthy to have a cheap, card-drawing planeswalker that doesn't create an avalanche of card advantage if not dealt with. I agree that the -2 is very out of place though.

The last bit might be true in ideal world where the win percentage is exactly 50%, but if it's slanted even 1% in favour of playing first it's basically never correct to draw.

Definitely tempted to revisit Harm's Way now.

If you push aggro and (in/)directly punish control by cutting down on cheap removal, games will naturally come down to the die roll a lot more. Planeswalkers are the biggest offender here, since it's much easier for the advantage they create to 'snowball' into something insurmountable.

Safekeeper is good if you have the typical non-kosher creatures to protect it with. If you're guarding a Baneslayer with it, great; if it's next to an Acidic Slime, not so much.

Staples are also highly cube-dependent i.e. I would never cut Primeval Titan from my main cube but might not even consider including it in a less powerful, more synergy-based cube. Rather than just post a list of my favourite cards, I'll cite something like Noble Hierarch. It's hard to imagine...

Inspired at least occupies some interesting design space, tribute is just awful.

I looooove Thaumaturge 9CC Minotaur please FWIW Dictate seems clearly much better than Collective Blessing to me

YES I am hopeless at it

We have a single-card spotlight thread, but I thought it might be useful to draw attention to random synergies (not the obvious two-card combos, but just cards that happen to work well together): Wolfir Silverheart Murderous Redcap Snapcaster Mage Brimstone Volley
