To answer your immediate question I like the Searcher more than the Engine. Simply put 6 damage is fine but I'd rather do something that helps me than do something that hurts a single opponent. I do realize that it's 7 mana vs 6 mana and it's a 6/4 vs a 6/6 but the reality of the situation is that Searcher is a P1P1 bomb in dedicated MP Cubes because your P1P2 automatically gets to the best card still in the pack. Given that we're talking about Cube and not Conspiracy draft that's going to be one Hell of a card. I don't know about you but I'm all about Titans and Primordials and such in my Cubes because who wants to sit around and cast dorks? I see the Searcher as being a good 6+ CMC finisher, something like a Titan or Primordial, who also gives me a 6/4. Now, look, I get it. What happens if you draw X before drawing Searcher? Just never cast it? That's terrible. I get that the card can be bad because hey, let's face it, a good % of the time you won't draw it first. That doesn't really bother me though. MP games, especially Cube draft, are a bit of a crap shoot one you reach a certain power-level threshold. There's no magical solution to winning the game when your team is Hexed or that guy nailed you with Mass Mutiny or the token player has Beastmaster Ascension and Dictate of Heliod in play with an army. You just lose. I like this card because it's potentially a Primordial + a 6/4 for 7 mana or something equally ridiculous. It's the kind of card that can win you games on its own. Doom Engine is a fine "safe" card, it'll always make the cut, but no one casts a Doom Engine and wins the game off of it. I'd rather go for broke and pick the card with the highest power-ceiling even if its power-floor is significantly lower (a 7 mana 6/4 is stone unplayable in any format). Will it bite you/me in the ass? Yeah, of course it will. That being said how frequently will it even matter? It's not like you're a favorite to win games or anything. Losing games that you would have lost anyways is trivial but casting Diluvian Primordial + a spare 6/4 can easily win you a game that you wouldn't have otherwise claimed.
EDIT: Oh, and before I get the "lol what if you look at a blank pack GG" remarks, remember that we're talking about Cube. The odds of being passed a dead pack are extremely low and you can take any card of any color because you don't have to worry about actually casting it with mana. Even if you do miss, so what? This is Cube. How frequently are you short on playables when you're Cube drafting? 0% of the time? Less :3? Let's face it; even if you burn your P1P1 it doesn't matter at all because early color signals in Cube are nearly impossible to read anyways and there's more than enough playables to compensate for a few speculative misses.
Some cards ask me to jump through a hoop or do something in a whacky or cool way that just calls out to me. But objectively speaking there are better cards out there that help winning at bigger tables more than the ones I like.
I like planeswalkers and think Aetherspouts is pretty ok because it puts that opponent behind on draws.
I don't like Jace's Ingenuity or most one use draw spells. Exceptions are cards like Promise of Power and Momentous Fall.
I think Kalonian Twingrove is too narrow and misses trample. (or evasion or vigilance)
Oh, and we agree on Polymorphist's Jest. That's high on my to buy list. There are others we agree on but you asked for differences so I won't mention them.

I'll try to point out examples. For now know that I think Inferno is playable.
Huh? Did I ever say that Inferno wasn't playable? Granted I don't think that it's better than say Fault Line but these kinds of instant speed mass removal effects have always been right up my alley.

I really go back and forth on which I prefer. I love that Fault has X in its CC, but there is something to be said about hitting Flying creatures as well. Overall, I tend to agree that Fault is better, but it's fairly close imo

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
My typical MP format is 5 total players, star-format. FFA, but you only need to eliminate your 2 non-adjacent opponents to win.
Is Genesis Hydra really that bad? I mean it basically costs 1 more G than Green Sun's Zenith, but at that cost you get the same effect and a decent body along with it, so it nets u a bit more card advantage. I guess it is a bit more of a gamble since you can't search your whole library, but i wouldn't say its a terrible budget option.
I'm not sure that's the best comparison point. If I cast it with X=2 to try to pull a singleton Scavenging Ooze (for example) from my deck, odds are that I'd be disappointed with the result. Similarly, if I'm trying to pull a Primeval Titan, 8 mana is a LOT and there's still a ~40-45% chance that I don't get to see one of the playset. So I don't think this card can replace GSZ in a deck since it would be too inconsistent.
It doesn't play nicely with some of the other hydras (which would enter with X=0), so that also makes it more difficult to play.
I think it might be an ok budget card when it hits bulk rare, but it's not there yet.
Cards I'd rather run include Lurking Predators and the Twingrove - the former provides (far) more value, and the latter will typically be larger.
M15 is decent for a core set, but I'm not nearly as hyped about 90% of these cards as the review.
Hyped? The only cards that I hyped are things like Waste Not, Urborg, Sliver Hivelord, etc. Discussing possible playables isn't exactly "hyping" a card up. In the same way that most set reviews discuss the boring cards in addition to the good ones I touched on any possible playables.
I think only a select few cards are actually worth getting. All of the 6-drops, no exceptions, are worse than random titans and not even significantly better than, say, a $0.05 Fangren Marauder (which routinely gains 30 life off people cracking random Expedition Maps and Sylvok Replicas).
Here's the problem with comparing 6 drops to Titans: 99% of them fail to pass the Titan test. If we were to use the logic that all playable 6 drops must beat their respective Titan, well, people would basically just play Titans in all of their decks. That's fine for some people but not for everyone. With respect to Maurauder he's no different than other 6+ CMC threat who dies to removal at no benefit. Yes, there are a ton of them out there who can do "good things" if they're ignored. That's not the point. The point is that things like avatars have actual value even if they're gunned down.
(Also, I don't get why the review keeps mentioning Commander and Cube. MTGS has entire forums set aside for those topics. Cube isn't even a valid benchmark since no two cubes are alike.)
Multiplayer magic, to me, comprises many formats. Since I partake in EDH/Cube/Constructed I figure that it's probably worth discussing the differences when applicable. I can't be the only one who enjoys multiple formats after all.
Goblin Kaboomist : It looks awful but it's actually merely mediocre. Even without support you get two landmines on average, which is about as much value as you can expect from a $0.20 red 2-drop.
Difference of opinion I suppose. I could not imagine playing this on turn 2 and blindly hoping that my 2 drop doesn't kill itself. I realize that you can win 10 flips in a row, that's a thing, but at the same time you can also lose the first at which point you have a really bad Shock as your line of defense. All I want to do is survive for as long as possible and that means playing defensive threats that I can count on. Since I can't count on this I don't think that it's even remotely playable. As for the landmines, small burn is just not what I want to have in MP games. While it's passable defense on turn 3 its value drops to near 0 beyond that.
Back to Nature: I don't understand how this is even in the review. Tranquility hasn't been a thing in almost 20 years. Fracturing Gust is ten times the card this is, and that has been sitting at all of $0.50 for almost forever (right up to March this year).
Kinda comparing apples to oranges. Gust is much slower and color intensive and puts bigger deckbuilding restrictions on your lists. You don't necessarily want to jam it in to your decks with dudes and equipment after all. BtN is a cheap way to interact with Oath of Druids/Animate Dead/Survival of the Fittest/Luminarch Ascension/etc. while still being a good card to draw later on as well. It's also a great answer to those pillow-fort Sphere of Safety decks which doesn't have to hurt your artifact-based mana ramp and/or equipment. This is actually important in formats such as EDH. Moreover, it's a "good" answer to Enchantments that can be placed in Cubes alongside Fracturing Gust. You usually want access to multiple of these kinds of cards. Still, again, you don't always want to nuke your Signets and equipment. You can't beat Recurring Nightmare so it definitely has to die but I mean you don't want to sacrifice everything that you have to remove it.
I would think Genesis Hydra would still be awesome with other Hydras acting as a tutor, but i can see how the non-land tutoring can disappoint.
Here's the thing with this card. When cast for 6 mana you're hoping and praying to hit something good because a 4/4 and a bad 2-3 CMC body isn't worthwhile. If you do hit a 4 drop, cool, you got lucky. When cast for 7 or more mana, well, why not just cast a good 7 drop that will always do something awesome? Do you really want a vanilla body and a random card over a Sylvan Primordial, Genesis Wave, Avenger of Zendikar, Hornet Queen, Rampaging Baloths (it's a 7 drop), etc?
For what it's worth, I almost only play cube now and these reviews are still useful. Sure we don't have the same cube, but I at least get an idea behind the thought process that goes into playing the cards.
So I'm happy to see this.
As for the cards reviewed, I am most excited by the low drops we are getting: Spirit Bonds in white, Chasm Skulker in blue, Waste Not in black,Reclamation Sage in green and even Goblin Rabblemaster in red.
I am surprised you didn't even touch on the goblin by the way, since I think it has potential (if only because of how mediocre other red 3 drops are).
Anyways, thanks again for the write up. Looking forward to more if you ever want to go that route.
If Goblin Kaboomist was a sorcery for 1R that gave you two landmines, would that have been better? Because that's the expected average if you don't support it. I wouldn't play it, but it's not completely terrible.
No I wouldn't. Having to hold mana up for marginal removal isn't a winning line in my book. It's a bad card on turn 2 (it doesn't do anything to protect you), it's a bad card on turn 8, and I mean what? Now I have to decide if I want to cast spells or hold up Shocks on turns 3-7? None of that is actively powerful in my mind. I'll stick to Figure of Destiny/Kargan Dragonlord if I want a cheap defensive mana sink who I won't be ashamed to see on turn 5.
Back to Nature: This is the kind of card that everyone should have 6 of. It'll always make the cut in your Cube + EDH decks and it's a perfectly serviceable 1-2 of in most Constructed decks. If your meta is "young" and doesn't abuse Enchantments you can obviously exclude them but in general this card handles the most powerful cards that you'll be facing down.
Hornet Nest: Now THIS is a Wall that I can get behind. Holy Hannah Montana guys. I feel like No Mercy is back and this time it's rocking the Greenskin. The scary part about this card is that even if people pressure you with 2/2s this is still two 1/1 deathtouch fliers for 3 mana which is a card that I would probably still play. The fact that it'll routinely generate more (obligatory Doubling Season mention) makes this card completely insane in my mind. I also love its applications in my Wildfire + Destructive Force decks because it literally does everything. It protects you early on, "survives" the blast and lives to both beatdown and defend afterwards. That's a trifecta my friends. I would snap buy 8 of these assuming that they don't cost much because it seems great for Cube, EDH and Constructed. You can blindly jam it into basically any Green decks and it'll do work.
Hornet Queen: I love this card because it's a "Wrath or bust" threat that can be both offensive and defensive. It's a perfect multiplayer finisher in that sense. It'll always make the cut in your Cube and EDH (obligatory Doubling Season mention) decks and while it's competing with Sylvan Primordial/Avenger of Zendikar in Constructed it's still good enough to use every other deck. There's not much else to say about this card but that's a good thing in my mind. It's straightforward power; you don't have to think too long or hard about slamming her on to the field.
Kalonian Twingrove: 10/10 would buy 12. I hope that this card stays cheap because Primeval Titan costs way too much money and the Dungrove Elder/Predator Ooze decks desperately need a good 6 drop "Titan." This card is absolutely perfect in the "all forest" deck and even if it's just being cast as a pair of 4/4s who grow into 5/5s that's still a good deal for 6 mana. That is to say that you can probably afford to play a few Kessig Wolf Runs in your list and not hate yourself for it. This card, much like Hornet Queen, doesn't really need much of an explanation. Spot removal is horrendous at best against it and it continues to scale in power as the game progresses. This isn't the best card to try and Cube with (mono-Green isn't much of an archetype) but I mean it seems insane in both EDH and Constructed from what I can tell. I'm sure that Treefolk tribal will be happy to see this but I mean basically any "Forest deck" can play this as a straight-up Titan.
Reclamation Sage: This card is an awesome addition to Elf decks, Birthing Pod decks, Skullclamp decks, Green Sun's Zenith decks... basically any number of decks lol. This is just another solid "Eternal Witness" 3 drop that virtually any deck can play and be reasonably satisfied with the results every time. It's never going to blow you away with power or anything but it's not supposed to. This is your insurance policy to avoid losing games to really dumb cards such as Ensnaring Bridge. Even if you had 6-8 of these I don't see how you could find yourself thinking "gee I'll never find decks for all of these." You can play the first one in any deck of any format and I doubt that you'll ever find yourself cutting it later on down the road.
Haven't been this excited about green cards in a Core set since... 10th?
The Sage should have been printed 10 years ago. It's more of an "about time" sensation and less of a "wow that's so new and cool" feeling for me. Anyways, this has been one of (if not) the best Core sets of all time.
