I find it interesting that a lot of "old" theory about peasant is that these are "aggro cubes", but the rankings and tankings of cards seem to suggest that we have drifted quite a ways from that stigma.
Thanks squirrely. I approve of how the votes turned out.
Except for that sylvan library 1st vote. Breakin out the fisticuffs on that one.

Fireblast, Land Tax, and Blood Artist are all head-scratchers as #1 cards, but yeah Library probably the worst (but at least it does SOMETHING when you're on the play, unlike its Legends enchantment brethren)
My experience with land tax is about the same as yours. Sometimes it's dead. Sometimes you pull 6 lands and you still draw lands. Sometimes your opponent doesn't outpace your land drops. Sometimes you perfectly curve out with it and never draw a land naturally again.
But yeah, we have not the number of payoff cards that traditional cubes have to either getting 7 mana or to having a hand full of cards or to take advantage of shuffle effects (a lot of us don't play brainstorm, for example) or the catchup mechanisms for a tempo hit. Drawing next to no lands for the rest of the game is good, obviously, but this isnt for a good while.
