Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

[inscho]

Yeah, Sneak Attack has not aged well with how many of our cubes have evolved over the years. It’s been hanging on for dear life in my cube for years, and is mainly a nostalgia inclusion these days.

It still has a home in midrange powermax settings or classic combo cubes

This is a complete trap.

Have to agree. I’ve drafted some unique decks with this insect, but it’s a payoff for a subset of the artifact archetype. It comes together so rarely that it’s a dubious use of a guild slot.

Hey, this works and is fun!

Kind of. I’ve drafted your cube a bunch of times where I see an early Replenish and try to draft around it, but it works 50% of the time maybe?
Sometimes the packs work out so that you have few enchantments to recur. Sometimes you have the enchantments, but few ways to get them into the GY (thanks White!). Other times you want a redundant enchantment payoff but there are none.
It’s still a fine inclusion since it’s one slot and most enchantments you run are fine, but sometimes feels like a trap!

It definitely feels more like a payoff for generating a bunch of treasure tokens or other trinket-y garbage that you're going to crack for value anyway, or if you're leaning into stuff like Kavaron Harrier/Kuldotha Rebirth/Sokenzan Smelter for a Pauper-style artifact-themed aggro archetype, where stapling 2 damage to villain's face onto whatever else you're doing is just what the doctor ordered.
