Modern players disagree, but I'm willing concede that even if not more powerful in cube (conditions may be different enough in cube to tilt the scales), Tombstalker is perhaps more interesting. Cards like Tombstalker do make Gather the Pack more interesting. It puts 5 cards in the yard, digs...

To make them not weak, we need to increase the quantity of incentives. To me this means: cards that want to be in the graveyard in (here's the important part) decks that want to play sorcery speed 2-mana conditional impulses. Do I bite the bullet and run Gurmag Angler? (right now I only run...

Magic has too many cards.

Related to land ramp: lately I've been really into cards that put lands into your hand. Just being able to hit your land every turn is super powerful. Maybe it's too much BFZ Sealed for me, but I was incredibly impressed with how much Fertile Thicket smooths out draws, and it has play in decks...

How bottlenecked do you get on mana? Obviously I have dreams of combining that card with repeatable sac outlets to slowly grind through their army.

Follow up: if you ran Entomb (and no reanimation), what cards would you legitimately entomb for?

Stuff that put stuff in the yard: Thought Scour Jace, Vryn's Prodigy Thought Scour Satyr Wayfinder Faithless Looting Survival of the Fittest Entomb Drown in Filth Verdant Catacombs Gather the Pack Commune with the Gods Tasigur, the Golden Fang Sidisi, Brood Tyrant Izzet Charm Forbidden Alchemy...

It's probably dumb, but I'm currently testing Satyr Wayfinder in the place of Sakura Tribe Elder. I'd like to introduce more minor graveyard elements to my cube, but haven't fully pulled the trigger on it yet.

Fire Covenant

I've never actually taken the 2 minutes to read this card.

This will be the test draft of the updated polycube concept, btw.

I don't want to ruin it, I just put in counter-cards to every strategy I introduce. More graveyard hate / exile effects when Gravecrawlers came in, search and trigger hate when Pod was introduced, anti-lifegain when I attempted lifegain. Spirit seems like an appropriate puzzle, and isn't a...

I mean, I totally agree with you. Not trying to discredit anyone, just saying that personally Eidolon of Blossoms doesn't really get my blood running. I see it and think "okay, 2/2 for 4, I'm already down half a card (at least) when I play it. if I trigger it once, it's like a bad Elvish...

I know we sometimes get a little extreme here, but did you guys see that guy on BTP suggesting giving drafters unlimited fetchlands?

Yeah, I mean, my bad on this topic. In the beginning I had a friend who played Pod 100% of the time in Standard / Modern, as well as others who identified as Podcurious, so my playgroup easily supported 4x pod, with the pods being split between 2-3 drafters every time. I think 3 is more correct...

Ideally each set would allow the player to go in a couple of different directions, while also kind of inspiring them in some way. Likely I would change the min deck size for this event to 45 or something.

I know Dromoka's is the weakest (in cube), but is this the most playable cycle since the Titans? Ojutai's Command Silumgar's Command Kolaghan's Command Atarka's Command Dromoka's Command

Spirit of the Labyrinth Maybe it's time for some Brainstorm counter-cards?

It's not a learning experience it's a fun one-off event.
