Odyssee block has a huge influence on my cube, I'd guess it's among the three most influential blocks with Innistrad and Shadowmoor?
Anyway, from Judgment specifically, I have these core cards still rocking:
Love them to pieces for madness, selfmill and such, they are just so neat because they essentially are enchantments with madness
that can be cast as a blocker if needed.
I try to limit flying tokens in my cube to optimize Nightmare, my ultimate pet card that I want to be as not-bad as possible. But Battle Screech is so cool, helps white prowess and has sick art, so it gets a pass.
SUCH an underrated card. It's very close to a four mana Shivan Dragon in many cubes and you'd think that would still be good enough for even somewhat high powered cubes. I guess it has no etb, no backside, isn't a lesson and asks something of you, so it doesn't hold up next to Pyrogoyf.
But seriously, it's a perfect magic card. Evocative design that tells a story, respectfully references a super iconic card, simple to read but offers you a variety of possible venues to fulfil it's requirements. More people should cube this little guy.
I also have these two in my occasionals:
While very different, both of these are just cool and can be a surprise to the opponent.
I also adore this card:
But for some reason it always gets edged out for minor reasons (no reminder text for threshold, doesn't work with Genesis Wave, too many 5-drops in green) but it's a perfect CCC core card in theory and I should add it again.
Special shoutout to:
I used to cube him in my cube's first iterations and I got a lot of shit for it on mtg salvation. They thought I was crazy for cubing a white one-drop attacker with only one power, but I still love me some 1-drop fliers until today and I like them better than Savannah Lions too.
