I had no idea this card existed... I have so many feelings right now. There should probably be more colors in this art. I cannot fathom the brain that would give birth to this card. Magic art used to have different standards.

I cannot for the life of me come up with an acceptable non-land 4-drop to replace Collapsing Borders. EDIT: Maybe we just add another creature?

I need a new Dimir card. Which of these do you guys like?

General thoughts: Even with a dozen or so hybrid one-drops, I think I should still double down on a few more (Deathrite Shaman, Dryad Militant, Figure of Destiny). Could probably use another Burning-Tree Emissary too. This is all to help make the ____blade cards more appealing. There was some...

Yeah "weak creatures with large tribal benefits" is a formula for very disjoint archetypes. "Strong creatures with weak tribal benefits" can add flexibility and depth to your environment if implemented well.

Silvercoat Lion's front and back halves look like they were drawn by two different people of very different artistic abilities.

Got complaints that Duskmantle Seer is OP. Except from the guy who had it + Sensei's Divining Top and thought it was super sweet.

Pretty sure that one will disappear with Young Electro.

Yeah, unfortunately (or not?) I have far too many of these ideas with no time to reasonably pursue them. BTW last night was my first cube playing with actual tokens (in color-coded sleeves no less!) and it was much better than having dice all over the table.

It's actually a pretty interesting card. Almost every time I drew it I felt like my opponent was bottlenecked on mana and often I would hold it for a couple turns and do other things in the meantime. Particularly tense when the opponent has a Figure of Destiny on board.

Devil's Play copied with Chandra the Fireband for 14. Flashback for lethal. Genesis Wave for 7 putting 30 something power on the board. Opponent casts Blasphemous Act next turn. Ramp player winning through Collective Restraint (Domain = 5) as if it wasn't there. Kessig Wolf Run + Zhur Taa...

Okay, this was suuuuper interesting. A lot of memorable stuff I tied in the finals (well, tied it in Game 4 of a Best of 3) with a RGb ramp deck. I have many thing to say. But mostly I discovered something really fundamental and really obvious about the game of Magic. Your decision density is...

Man, I'd love to but I'm knee deep in a few other cube projects at the moment.

There are indeed many factors, and I've seen people lose after casting Armageddon or simply get it stuck in their hand. In a lower CMC cube it's not the most overpowered, but it is particularly oppressive against decks that already struggle in my environment, high CMC decks. Maybe that's another...

The inherent problem with tribal is that it is designed for environments where you take weak cards that become stronger via critical mass. It's mostly designed for retail draft environments and Standard, both of which translate pretty poorly to cube. It also puts you squarely into poison...

There's a pretty big gap for Armageddon to succeed between the opponent "not doing anything relevant until Turn 4" and "not being ahead at the start of Turn 4". EDIT: I also get the feeling that many white aggro sections massively underperform without their signature card.
