"I'm not impressed with Pack Rat in high-power cubes lately" sounds to me like a good argument against playing high power cubes. :p

The nuance of using Dandân is that Forgetful Fish also runs cards that exploit the fact that it has Islandhome. Vantress Gargoyle loses that little nuance.

I'm also intrigued by this (and maybe should give it a shot myself? Hmm...) Lammastide Weave and Noxious Revival become really interesting in a shared deck format, since they take on an extra mind-game-y dimension. I also really like the idea of Volrath's Dungeon, because it's super tricksy...

Ooh, how do you set up wolf tribal? And is the fact that it makes wolves when your opponents target it with instants/sorceries something that ever comes up?

Chivalric Alliance gives me Pack Rat vibes... and I'd honestly say that the decks that want it most are going to be control decks (where it's honestly a pretty legit finisher) rather than straight creature decks. Sure, they probably aren't going to be terribly interested in Military...

Velrun, I'm legitimately unsure whether or not you're joking right now, or if you actually don't understand why people are annoyed by how this product was advertised (despite it being explained to you multiple times). Lie back and let the bismuth take you.

For me, a filthy green enjoyer, part of the issue is that most of the green creatures that spring to mind aren't really big beaters (which is ironic, given what the color's supposed to be good at): Llanowar Elves Quirion Ranger Fertilid Sakura-Tribe Elder Tarmogoyf Eternal Witness Wild...

Yeah, Pack Rat's problem is that Plague Rats with Flash is a really solid card in a Rat tribal deck, and Pack Rat makes your deck a Rat tribal deck. It doesn't help that you need a board wipe to deal with it effectively, since any of the tokens can rebuild the entire army. There's a reason that...

Enormous Baloth No, seriously, this was one of those wow, so cool cards that I saw other kids playing with on the playground.

Nah, I'm hesitant to update my cubes because my brain screams at me that I'm doing it wrong on a fundamental, structural level and that I should stop before I ruin cubing forever. That's why I work on a single project for a few days and then abandon it forever, never to touch it again.

That's actually not quite right... Kenrith, the Returned King

Ironically, the set code is what I felt when I saw that spoilers were starting up again. :p If we're in eternal spoiler season, can we at least only preview the spoilers for one set at a time, WotC? (I will admit that part of the reason I'm so annoyed with this is that I like watching...

I disagree. There's something to the Zug art that just... speaks to me. (Then again, I'm a heretic who doesn't much like RKF's art. It tends to feel weirdly muddy to me.)

I dunno, I just haven't been feeling my cube bullshit recently.

I mean, the deck's called Eldrazi Unleashed with a big ol' Eldrazi as the default Commander and Eldrazi on the box art. "That deck is all about Eldrazi" is a pretty safe assumption to make as a casual consumer of Magic — you need to go out of your way to find the blog posts and such where MaRo...

You know what's a triggered ability? Annihilator. ;) It's Eldrazi Mimic meets Shimmer Myr, all in a tidy Ikorian package. As for exciting stuff... I like the idea of casting Thought-Knot Seer on villain's draw step.

There are honestly some pretty nice cards in the Eldrazi deck... mostly because hey, they work with artifacts too! The Archaic is especially interesting if you have any utility lands.

There's also this little build-around: I just want to play Spirited Companion as if it were Explore, OK?

Am I the only person who likes... Silverfur Partisan? Like, on the surface, it's just a tribal support piece for a tribe that very few people are going to be supporting outside of, I dunno, an Innistrad cube. But it shines if combat tricks are a thing in your format. In that kind of...

Looking at the list of changelings on Scryfall... I'm reminded of why they're kinda disappointing from a cube perspective. I really wish that we had more changelings that are cool in the absence of tribal synergies. I think I'd only really be tempted to run the following: Mirror Entity Orvar...
