I think he's just a stat monster and he's obviously pushed for multiplayer. I guess it's cool if you aren't playing any cool cards in Naya, but then I'd ask why you haven't submitted to Zacama, Primal Calamity yet? It's a three-headed dinoasur that smashes face and does other stuff too. The one...

Great call, I remember giving him a brief run last year when the commander set came out alongside that version of Saheeli, but it didn't quite get there. I completely forgot to revisit him when working this back into the cube. Didn't even cross my mind, but he seems insane if you can curve a...

Archetype Spotlight: Blue Red Artifacts (Midrange/Combo) Hey guys! It's been a while since I've done an in-depth primer (almost 3 years, wow) but I've been having a lot of fun with implementing and tweaking an artifacts archetype into my cube environment over the last two months and figured...

I've just gone over the entire spoiler list of new cards and I think the only cares interested in are: Chainer is a really interesting card, I could see some cool interactions with Gravecrawlers and any additional reanimation you might want to do beyond its activated ability. The only...

I only play Blast Zone from that list of cards in my main cube, the rest of those are too low impact or slow and I didn't really want to add them to my ULD set-up. Blast Zone has such little commitment for great utility and I thought it was well worth main cube inclusion. It does a little too...

I haven't seen Titania and Wildfire assembled yet as the Wildfire package was a recent addition, but seeing as my cube is at 420 so you miss out on 60 cards every session (even more when we cube with less than 8) I don't see it coming together all the time unless my savvier drafters begin to...

Go For the Throat > Cast Down > Ultimate Price > Smother > Murderous Compulsion

I'd go with Corpse Knight. The big thing when it comes to that archetype is get in your chip damage whenever possible via evasion or drain triggers and to keep the pressure on your opponent. Triggering off ETB gives you some sweet plays you can make with things like Gravecrawler or Bloodsoaked...

I'd probably cube Doomed Artisan at 1W but the 3cmc slot in white is so stacked. Sweet design though.

Durdling just for the sake of durdling is not really my jam when it comes to cube since you're just holding up the next round from progressing. I'd much rather have cards that actively push the game towards a conclusion than prolong it too far. Semi-durdly engines are fine as long as they're...

She's a strong finisher in Red, about on par with Inferno Titan in terms of board impact. 6 hasty power per turn closes out the game quickly after following up a mini-wrath to wipe most of the board. I like her better than the Titan because there are less ways to abuse her or cheat her out into...

I wouldn't cube either at my power level, but Reclamation is more enticing than Deathreap by far. For most cube matches, you want your bang for your buck right away with card draw effects. It's part of why something like Phyrexian Arena doesn't see a whole lot of play in a bunch of lists but...

Garruk Wildspeaker is one of the most well-designed planeswalkers of all time. He does everything you want in green by providing you ramp, a sizable body to protect itself, and can also represent a win-con with the Overrun ability. I much prefer him over the other options listed but I'm also...

I was on vacation this past week near Yosemite visiting the national park, going on a backpacking trip for a few days, and also hanging out in a cabin with a handful of friends of mine from my college days. It was a pretty sweet week and one of the best parts was that I got to play a lot of...

I'm a week late, just got back from a camping trip, but I will vouch for this after running two cube drafts at a cabin with some friends over this week. That card is amazing. I will be doing an in-depth cube report sometime this week and I'm definitely going in on this because the card is...

Pretty much you want your aggressive decks to feature more potential lines of play than just what a base 2/1 body would represent. You'll need to include a certain number of these that will only be attractive to aggressive decks, I don't really think there's a good way of getting around that...

It's definitely format dependent. Morphs aren't quite on the power level that I need them to be and the only two I've ever run were Rattleclaw Mystic and Den Protector who have baseline playable bodies unmorphed. The more powerful your environment, the harder it becomes to justify running them...

I'm actually on the opposite side of this debate, I think Ranger-Captain is better that the original. Unless you have variable 1 cost creatures you can pick up and deploy later like Walking Ballista or Mikaeus, the Lunarch, Ranger feels a little lackluster tutoring up 1 drops in the latter...
