Yeah imagine that card costing 3 instead. That'd be sweet! Spending your entire turn 5 for a measly 2/3 will mean having negligible board impact and then you need to spend more resources incrementally over several turns to get the value out of the card.
How deep do you have to go on Historic before this becomes worth it?
I've found the Lancers to be decent. It's rare for white to gain card advantage and this guy delivers. It's better than drawing a card since you tutor and the stats are actually decent. Plus he has the right types for some tribal decks.
Sagas, Planeswalkers, random legendary creatures or permanents, it's not hard to have a few targets even without a historic theme.

It does not ‘taget’ Sagas sadly.
Only legendaries which are all planeswalkers, all normal legendary permanents and the five legendary sorceries from Dominaria.
Thanks! I did just realize the Lancers can grab legendary Lands as well! That’s a big deal!
Yeah it is. But Wizards have almost stopped printing legendary lands and the lands that are clearly legendary (Definition: One of a kind and from the stories of legends.) are still printed as non-legendary. See Castle Garenbrig etc.

For my cube that includes:
[card]
Miren, the Moaning Well
Paliano, the High City
Kher Keep
Geier Reach Sanitarium
Inventors’ Fair
[/card]
And i’m running Historic Matters payoffs in a few colors... I need to find space for the Lancers.

Lancers can't actually find sagas can it? They're historic not legendary
I think that’s correct.
Has anyone tried this card? I really like her as a pivot for my Historic Matters theme and the broader Weenie archetype in White, but I haven’t seen her in a lot of lists.

I haven't played with it, but it seems quite good. Bonus points if you have Spikeshot Elder, which I feel like you do?
Taranika, Akroan Veteran is in my cube. It is one of those cards that can REALLY hurt a player. I have it in my cube to push white aggro but I fear it might be too strong for some cubes.

Brad Brad Why would you even suggest Spikeshot Elder? You are a disgusting person! That combo is insane and now I might neeeeed to let my players try it. You monster.

I like Taranika! It's neat hidden support for +1/+1 counters (possibly its function in Chris' Cube now that I think about it?)

You are correct sir. Nothing better than turning a graft creature or such-like into a 4/4.
Even if you're not doing that she's a pile of stats. It might be a bit strong in the creature mirror, but I haven't enough data to comment.
Plus she still kind of dies to everything and does have to attack herself, so it's not overpowered
I prefer the take that we're just great minds thinking alike.Somebody doesn’t read the thread before commenting
Despite being wonky and from Tempest, the follow is ~bulk and NOT on the Reserved List:
I have played with this a few times at moderate-power peasant, and I *love* it. It was added to fit a similar role that Reassembling Skeleton might fit: aristocrats and graveyard synergy overlap for slower decks (aka decks that wouldn't want the 2/1s that are similar to Reassembling). BUT! instead of another creature from the graveyard, it is removal from the graveyard (if the cube's card population leads to tapping low-to-out of mana in the average turn cycle). In some cases, it can be double removal (hold priority and activate it twice when opponent cannot pay). Could it be triple removal?! Yes.
And don't forget, this attacks for 1. .. ... which means it can hold equipment!
I know a lot of Riptiders have explored the spaces where Carrionette could tread; have any of y'all tried it?

I vaguely remember Carrionette being a boss in an early casual deck of mine....with some Abyssal Gatekeepers to further insure no one could keep a creature on the table ever.
I happened to see that this is quite a card in Constructed today, but how good is it in cube? My mind says “pretty narrow” but my heart won’t listen! i love flashy stuff!
