Another card I think got overlooked is Tameshi, Reality Architect Specs absolutely smashed my face in during my in-house prerelease, and I was not expecting him to be anywhere near this good. Turns out having Refurbish on legs that draws cards is really really good. He also triggers off of...

I should clarify--I like the concept of Glassdust Hulk, but it's always pretty crappy in practice. Definitely a good candidate for my (eventual) Almost-Ran Personal Alchemy Cube.

Kappa Cannoneer Glassdust Hulk Speaking of artifacts, is anyone else testing Catapult Turtle? I like Hulk, but it's kind of rough and this is cheaper (could realistically be played for 4 in artifact-heavy decks), monocolored, and better when you can play it. How much does the cycling factor...

She wants a bear with a cupholder armrest. She wants a bear who will get her there. She's changing her name from Ula to Ulamog She's changing her tanuki for a normal-ass dog I want a girl with a big hat and a loooooong, long jacket.

While the Gruul deck seems a little on the EDH side (yes, I know), Azorius got some nifty toys. In particular, the Drummer looks really juiced. Catapult Turle looks deceptively good, like a spruced-up Glassdust Hulk, as do the other Improvise cards. The vehicles also really help to flesh out...

Stormwild capridor If the opponent is a moron. Aboroth If not. edit: Train got me, but Aboroth still works!

Agonizing Remorse is definitely more powerful, but it's an effect that's been popular for a long time. Village Rites, on the other hand, is a novel effect, so it's part of what defines Historic to me. My scorecard looks like so: Core effect? Agonizing Remorse is probably more "important" to...

If the set winds up being as fun to draft as it looks, which I'm hopeful on, I think my two biggest questions are what cards from the original block I'm going to include and whether it might be best to make this a Peasant cube. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that the commons and uncommons...

Thanks for the catch, Mown! But I think the point still stands, which is that a lot of us, myself included, took the mental shortcut of "this card just lets me reuse Ninja of the Deep Hours for fun and profit," which really only scratches the surface of what it can do and the novel color...

Okay, I have a lot of cards to test, but I want to jump in and say that people are doubting a certain card which is actually bonkers. Mindlink Mech This is a very, very good card, and it works well with a ton of cards, not just saboteurs. Blood Artist Clarion Spirit Lotus Cobra Young...

Friendship ended with Seb McKinnon. A. M. Sartor is my new best artist friend for moody, monochromatic stuff my teenage self would and still does adore. ...not to make light of the situation, of course. It's just a funny coincidence that WotC hires a new artist that hits a lot of the same...

God dammit. Either I make a set cube or my regular cube becomes a set cube.

Speaking of which, holy madness on legs, Batman: It definitely has upsides (can play at any point this turn, handles lands ;) ) and downsides (can't play creatures without flash on opponents' turns), but overall this is incredible glue. This is a Piker I can respect.

Wasn't there a Secret Lair for that?

Thank you, O-Ring With Set's Mechanic! It's a bit of a bummer that this doesn't trigger Prowess on the ability, but I think this is fantastic for cubes willing to run third-tier removal.

The colorless on Crucible doesn't do much for me either because I've yet to see a non-Green deck use it super well. Maybe it's because I don't run MLD, but I'm having a hard time envisioning a Wildfire deck that isn't at least RGx, and anything with Armageddon is almost certainly too aggro for a...

Absolutely breaks Ragavan :pogchimp: . This is a great, clean Mardu effect. I'm loving this cycle, they're either super clean or super goofy so far!

I think if your question is one of redundancy/sufficient density, then you might want to double up on the ones you like best rather than going for variety. Rather, I think the question to ask is how easily you want these strategies to be disrupted. I personally like the Excavator and LftL, as...
