Would you be interested in... Selkie Hedge-Mage? Sure, it has a miserable floor... but the ceiling is bouncing a creature that swung in last turn (so you can have another chance to counter it), a blocker, and 3 life. It feels like a pretty strong anti-aggro card that isn't back-breaking...

Alright, thanks to the Distanced Drafting league, there was a four-person draft earlier today. This was pretty nice, since we all got to play each-other. First off, we have Japahn, who went 3-0 on the strength of "drafting a bunch of two-drops" - turns out that those are really good in a...

Mystic Snake

I could see potentially including that in my cube. Actually, come to think of it, I think that the 3-drop Foretell cards actually might be really good in Afternoon Delight.

Awakening the Trolls is just a really sweet incentive to run land-based ramp in your Green section. Especially if you cast Wildfire the turn before you get your trolls.

Awakening of the Trolls - 4RG Enchantment - Saga (R) I: Destroy target land. II: Put a land card in a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. III: Choose an opponent. If they control fewer lands than you do, create a number of 4/4 Green Troll Warrior tokens with Trample equal to the...

What do we think of Kaseto, Orochi Archmage? By itself, it's a potential 4/4 blocker or an unblockable 4/4. However, if you have any incidental Snakes (like Coiling Oracle or Mystic Snake), there are a bunch of tricky things you can do with it. (I might be making a list of Snakes that...

I twitch whenever I see Koma. Why do we have three different Snake tribes, when we have a singular Cat tribe? Wizards plz.

Anyone running Rx equipment? It saddens me a little when I realize that I'm more excited to see commons than I am to see the mythic rares.

That's one of my other issues - a 3/3 flyer with flash for 3U is already slightly above the curve. Why'd they have to muddy that up?

There are multiple reasons why this horse makes me sad. The biggest one is that I was actually looking forward to the instant-speed-foretell effect, but I didn't want all of that on top of it.

That's what I was implying. :p

I completely missed that Koll only boosts tokens. I see why they did it, but it's still kinda meh. Ancestral BladeMask of Immolation

I think the big thing is that pair archetypes are usually just a very specific take on a broader archetype. Take Ninjas, for example - there are ways to make creatures evasive in all five colors (Green doesn't really do it in the right way to support Ninjas, though), and "creatures that do...

... Is there anything stopping you from slipping a token into the same sleeve as a card that makes it? Put an appropriately colored Basic in with cards that don't make tokens. I mean, this isn't a perfect solution, especially if you don't want people to pull cards out of the sleeves... but...

Huh. I kinda hope that WotC will eventually go whole-hog and start printing stuff with "Copy target permanent". It's interesting that this works with tribal...

I think the Deprive lock should be fine in Cube, since we're singleton. Part of the reason it's so obnoxious in constructed is that you can run redundant copies of each part. I'd test it, at the very least.

One of my favorite semi-casual decks is a Snake-themed Eternal Command deck with a lot of early cantrips/TOL manipulation to get away with being a control-y deck with only 20 lands. This, alongside the Izzet Saga, make me wonder whether or not I should make an Izzet version of that deck once...

I'm not going to lie - I love the look of the Snow lands. Hopefully this means that they'll be cheap for a little while. I kinda want to see how this plays: It looks like a fun midrange-y threat that probably won't be GRBS. Anyone running a Green Devotion theme just got a new toy.

There are actually people who want Mystic Sanctuary banned in modern because it can pull off a pretty decent softlock with Cryptic Command, and because you can grab it with fetchlands. I think it should be alright in Cube, though.
