Obviously the exact opposite of Kitchen Finks is.... Geralf's Messenger I put Finks in my gold section because it can be used, and is wanted, by Green and White decks about equally. I agree that it's not super important where it goes, though.

Yeah I could just say "all basics are snow if you want" and be done with it, but should there be a cost to being able to play with this card? In MH draft you have to spend picks on snow lands to be able to cast the undercosted stuff, but I would just be giving it away for free. I don't really...

I've had Fastbond for a while and I was actually thinking about going the other way. Fastbond is broken when it's good and quite bad when it's bad - my assumption is that Exploration is still bad when it's bad, but merely good when it's good. I'm still not entirely sure which deck wants this...

Ghired, Conclave Exile What do we think about this guy? Playable, interesting, boring, too much stat for too little mana or a cool build around where you gotta make the biggest and baddest token possible? I know I'm building him for EDH but he's been running round my head in cube context as...

Arcum's Astrolabe Is this card too good if it just cost {1}?

GP Birmingham was this weekend. I played some side events (Pauper and Battlebond mostly - I hadn't played Battlebond before and I enjoyed it, although I would prefer to play it Bo3). But most importantly, Cube! We had seven players and a mix of archetypes - Mono-red, Jund Birthing Pod, GB...

Sam Black wrote a blog post about the archetype here: https://draftsim.com/blog/mh1-stream-control/

Thanks, I'm going to give Raff a try.

What about Command the Dreadhorde as an alternative?

Looking for UW card which is an artifact payoff or support card. Glassdust Hulk and Aerial Engineer are a little low power level. I'm thinking of adding either Thopter Foundry or Dovin, Grand Arbiter but open to other suggestions.

It's a bigger better Nekretaal but really, how interesting is Nekretaal? I think you can do better at 6 mana in black for a midrange/control finisher.

Well I'm sold, I'll definitely be giving it a try. Between this and Spikeshot Elder, I can see maybe the seedlings of a red "power matters" or "grow power" theme being possible. Anything else that might work with these? Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin maybe? Spikeshot Goblin, Bloodshort Trainee...

The Grand Calcutron I thought it might be funny, if not necessarily good, but it just made people miserable.

Oketra's Monument I tried it on a whim not expecting it to do very much and now it's one of my favourite cards in the cube.

Is it not good just flashing back CMC 1 stuff?

Anyone played with Dreadhorde Arcanist?

If you're doing an order from a retailer, see if you can join it with someone else to split shipping costs. I mostly use Magic Card Market as well now, and I think TCGPlayer is the equivalent in the US.

I didn't, and I had to look it up because it sounded so wrong. But this comment on Gatherer confirms it:

You could have a riff on Recurring Nightmare Repetitive Dreams {2}{B} Sorcery At the beginning of your upkeep, you may return Repetitive Dreams from your graveyard to your hand As an additional cost to cast Repetitive Dreams, sacrifice a creature. Return target creature card with...

Anyone had any experience with Thopter Foundry This would be in a cube without Sword of the Meek.
