That is not a great idea. MDFC lands are great Bread and Butter cards, as they are extremely flexible and allow for cleaner, more streamlined decks. They allow for effects that might not normally be worth a slot in a deck, such as a Fling or a Regrowth (depending upon power level), to make the...

I'm thinking it goes into something like this: Gravecrawler Carrion Feeder Corpse Knight Return to the Ranks Rally the Ancestors Lazotep Reaver Doomed Traveler Carrier Thrall Myr Sire Lots of things that etb or die and make tokens, things that ping the opponent on etb/death, self-reanimating...

Lots of things that come out of the graveyard after you sacrifice them, mass reanimation spells, and just generally large creatures.

Then yes, it's a good fun card to play. Just notice that it's more of an "I'm good in a deck that can cast me" kind of card rather than a "I'm good if you have a bunch of ways to trigger landfall" sort of card. I've considered cubing with it and I still may in the future.

Only cubes running storm.

I'm not understanding the contempt for the lore elements of this set so far. It doesn't feel like a copy of any "Magical School" stories I've been exposed to over the years. The cards with school-related names and flavor are mostly draft commons, so they won't impact constructed. However, they...

Yes.

While it's possible that cube real estate could be a problem when implementing Learn+Lessons, that isn't necessarily going to be the case. If the floor of the Learn cards is good enough, adding lessons to the cube becomes a free roll. You have to remember that any card that doesn't make it...

Is it really though? The number of playable cards at any given power level is steadily increasing as time goes on. These days, I'm finding that people are leaving 10 or even 15 cards that are playable in their colors in the sideboard. Lessons are nice because they don't eat up space in the main...

This card looks good. It gets pretty big fast just by casting removal. Definitely testing. The other new mechanic is learn. First you learn... Then you get a lesson!

Oh, well if perfection is what you're looking for, there's this cube!

Seven of the Mystical Archive cards will not be legal in Historic. I believe they will still be programed into Arena for Draft, Cube, and potentially Brawl purposes, but not for the constructed formats.

I've been plundering the Unpowered Fair Stuff 2020 and 2021 clusters and that's been pretty helpful for me. It's very different from the average riptide cube though.

That is, in fact, the Auriok Salvagers cluster.

Because Ravnica's guild structure is a really effective tool for organizing a faction set, so Wizards has gone back to it several times. Having every supported color combination have a unique keyword to differentiate it from the other factions makes a clean and simple set structure. The...

Oh I should have been clearer about that. Thank you for such a detailed response! I hadn't see the article yet when I wrote my previous post, it is quite enlightening! Now that I have a better understanding of how the clusters work, I've noticed a few interesting ones which I might go in to for...

I kind of hope the colleges are thematically unique, but don't have unique keywords. I don't like how faction sets tend to feel like variations of Ravnica sets, even when they're tonally completely different. While I think it would be cool for the different schools to care about different things...

I found this on the Cube Brainstorming Discord. I don't entirely agree with the characterization of the "starter/budget" section, as a lot of our Riptide cubes with non-budget Fetch/Shock manabases fall into that area. Some examples include Onderzeeboot's Wheel of Change, Erik's "Cool Side"...
