Ah yes, the "we didn't want to waste time refactoring legacy code, so we made some more" solution.

One card that I don't really have a place for personally, but which looks interesting: Hmm... Restoration Angel Mulldrifter

Alright, time to make myself seem like a crazy person: There's an additional category of "do nothing" card — let's call them "extra copy" cards: Snapcaster Mage Dual Strike Regrowth Galvanic Iteration The idea here is that, sometimes, there are cards that an individual deck wants extra...

My thought was less that you'd go "Rage Forger + Sage of Fables is a deck!", and more like... Gruul: There's the possibility of an aggressive +1/+1 deck in these colors, which wants Rage Forger. There are also some generically decent Shamans in the color pair, like Burning-Tree Emissary or...

To be honest, it's not that I think it's going to be broken or anything. I'm just imagining the reflexive screaming that'd start from Standard players as soon as they're spoiled. EDIT: Honestly, the biggest thing about them being in Standard is that they'd also be in Historic/Pioneer, meaning...

I just had a horrible realization. It's entirely possible that we'll see a reprint of the Urza lands in the Brothers' War set coming next year. Tron. In Standard.

The other nice thing about those "do nothing" cards is that they let decks get away with running fewer lands — some of them, like Land Grant, all but demand that you run fewer lands to get the best results possible. And, on top of that, they're usually power agnostic — because they "do...

That works too. :p

This looks cute. Damn it, WotC, I'm running out of space in the Capitalism Cube for sweet Treasure cards.

I feel like, if you're looking at a gold class that encourages a spell deck... Sorcerer Class --- If you're looking for an Azorius card that encourages spell decks, why not Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper? Play a control-y game until you can drop Noyan, then jank 'em out with a flood of 3/3 lands.

I honestly think that Harmonic Prodigy/Rage Forger/Sage of Fables and a bunch of incidental Shamans/Wizards in {R}{U}{G} and {R/G}/{G/U} +1/+1 counter themes is probably the best approach?

It might be too color-intensive, but... Ghired, Conclave Exile It's basically a Grave Titan on crack by that point. ... I feel like Harmonic Prodigy runs into the standard "tribal in Cube" issue, where you have to make sure that you actually have a high enough density of Shamans and Wizards...

Yeah, I think Rage Forger is legally required to be in any cube that wants to use Harmonic Prodigy. They just work too well together, and Rage Forger is already a solid card if your cube already has +1/+1 counter shenanigans. Most of the Wizards that look interesting with the Prodigy are...

I agree, but I feel like they did do a slightly better job of giving the Exploit cards more reasonable bodies this time around: Overcharged Amalgam Graf Reaver Fell Stinger I could live with casting any of these creatures just for their stats

This could be an interesting card for those of you that have a focus on spell velocity in your cubes — they go fast, you get wolves. It reminds me of this thing: Wolfcaller's Howl Except easier to trigger outside of EDH. EDIT: Odric (and the tiny number of non-Odric cards that feel the need...

I think that's the second or third card in this set where I've gone "oh, hey, a reprint with cool new art" and didn't double-check. EDIT: Crawling Infestation is way weaker than Crawling Sensation — it can only trigger once on your turn, while Crawling Sensation can trigger once each turn.

I'm surprised that this isn't a centaur. EDIT: I'm intrigued...

Um... Brad? I hope you aren't going to put Midnight Bloom in a cube with fetchlands in it. Because right now it can ramp out 3 (potentially untapped) lands on T2 in conjunction with fetchlands.

Druidic Satchel templates things in a more compact manner — "if it's a [type] card" instead of "if a [type] card is milled this way".

I'm surprised that they didn't use something like... Druidic Satchel
