If the goal is to get a bunch of lands in play, would it maybe be more natural to let blue contribute with expensive spells and X-spells?
I think RUG is the natural triad for lands because of this. Card draw = more lands in hand to utilize, especially flashy X draw spells, and then the big top end finishers are naturally drawn to lots of lands in play.
All 5 dragons leaked:
All 5 are seriously playable. The black one is certainly my favorite of all the recent attempts to make an impactful 5 drop in the color, and while it's not a strict upgrade for most of my five-drops in white, I'm a big fan of both of Ao's death triggers in addition to being nearly satisfied with a slightly improved Serra Angel on the front-end.
Like with MH2's Incarnations, I think the Mardu ones are the most interesting for cube environments, and for my cube, all of them would be appropriate on a power-level basis. I can't imagine the obscured information on Kairi that would make me interested in her, and I'd rather not have a beefy flier with upside in green from a color pie perspective, but I'm certainly going to make room for the remaining three.
I like death triggers in general, as it makes them feel more like creatures first rather than "a body stapled to a sorcery", and the modality here gives flexibility without gumming up the board complexity wise.
Very cool cycle, can't wait to see the alternate arts for the rest of them.

Green grabs nonbasic lands, which is big.
White confirms vehicles and has some great effects. I feel like this is going to be a great topend for aggro decks and can help bridge the dichotomy between White decks that want sweepers and White decks that do not want sweepers due to playing a lot of creatures. Also, more vehicles will provide another way to integrate these two archetypes, which is to my mind the largest problem that White faces in cube.
Blue could be good depending on what the number is? Ward 3 is big game, or at least I guess it is due to Imryth being virtually untouchable at conditional Ward 4. This seems like a premium control finisher with guaranteed card advantage, something that's harder to get on most of the rest.

I'm going to have to rework my "exile to destroy" ratio for these and I won't regret it.

MaRo's Duelist Teaser is up!
So just a couple things I want to hit on here:

i’d honestly like an exile option in black at two mana, but the black kill spell will probably still be good unless the drawback is really harsh
I'm going to guess this is a mechanic about having both artifacts and enchantments, which fits with what I called earlier about this being an artifact + enchantment set! I can assure you that this insight is due solely to KEEN DEDUCTIVE REASONING and not at all the result of confirmation bias.
Coincidentally, I made a mechanic like this a while back called Unity, which was kind of like a reverse Delirium in that it rewarded you for having four or more types of permanents in play. Given that lands are virtually omnipresent and that creatures are relatively easy for both decks, it wound up playing pretty similarly to this (hypothetical) mechanic. I'd be glad to (hopefully) see that this wasn't a crazy idea!
Thank you for posting this @TrainmasterGT
This was the least surprising on the list:
“A popular legendary creature from Champions of Kamigawa block returns in a new form.”
This is my personal most excited:
“Finish of a five-card cycle many years in the making.”

That is not "a" Phyrexian, that is very specifically
Jin-Gitaxias is a Phyrexian, thank you

Not just any one Phyrexian though, rather an important oneJin-Gitaxias is a Phyrexian, thank you
After Vorinclex showing up on Kaldheim, I thought it might be nice to point out the fact that this is another one of the praetors roaming about the multiverse.I was just trying to be funnyNot just any one Phyrexian though, rather an important one
"Still 'a' Praetor" did he say But thank you. I could have described it more precisely but I didn't want to to keep the mystery.
Did we ever learn how Vorinclex planeswalked to Kaldheim from New Phyrexia?

This is a very busy card. It's not complex, but it feels very inelegant to me.
