They're really pushing the snow again. Is there enough to have a specialized cube? Prob not with just pauper...
Well there certainly is a number of good cards and it doesn't cost u anything to run snow lands gameplay wise. Moneywise of course it does, especially if you only want the full art ones.
We're just gonna pass over this one without comment? This is insane power creep. Stick a turn 2 bonesplitter or Rancor on this and go to town. Also beats the Mistral Charger variants in combat.
i wouldnt neccessarily call it insane powercreep, but yeah its a strong onedrop and another nail in the coffin for those who still run x/1s lol. i pass though, id rather had another Healer's Hawk
Rovinglights Valley is creeped. remember Gateway Plaza?
The Raptor will be great in limited, but he falls a little short in cube world. If you have to have a second card to make him good, then the card is ok.
i think its safe to say, that this set is pretty unexciting for me (us?). so far i will only add one card.
the big set will be timespiral2 i guess. although i like wotc approach to reduce screwed games, i also think suspend is a better mechanic than foretell.
It's had some interesting cards that I considered. But right now it's the snow duals, rainbow snow, the white Stitched Drake (Stalwart Valkyrie), and the green 3/3 draw a card.
Have people seen Skull Raid? I might cube it because the Melvin in me likes designs like this, but they really fixed the issue with discard sometimes being dead in your hand in the late game.
I feel like I may be a little liberal with my foretell evaluations since if I'm to include any foretell cards, I might as well include enough to make the guessing-which-card-is-exiled somewhat of a mystery.
I only just realised that you exile cards facedown with foretell.
Skull Raid seems alright. Fairly underpowered, but removing the downside of Mind Rot is pretty appealing. I wish this was 3 mana, but that would be too much to ask.
Priest of the Haunted Edge - Another good snow matters card. I actually like this one a lot because it's a zombie which means it works with Ghoulraiser and Ghoulcaller's Chant. The 0/4 body is nice because it survives Incinerate and can block most non-evasion creatures (though not at the same time).
Yes, but I see this working better in some situations, like being aggressive (which isnt that what your cube is about ?) Being able to always have the creature be tapped for 1 mana can allow you to cast something else. Whereas the snare could force you to spend 4 to get a blocker out of the way.

exiling is a good mechanic to delay casting. a cmc1 removal is always great, too bad its a sorcery. might replace dead weight still.

For those who have a control-and-sacrifice theme, and do not run functional copies or strictly worses, this is a good side-version of Act of Treason.
No, it is not a strictly better, as with AoT you could equip a controlled creature with your own equipment, and this card punishes you if you do.
Ninjutsu enabler? probably not good enough.

Recursion engine, but it has to attack. The body is not bad for that, though. A single pump, evasion or protection and becomes dangerous.

Sort of a blue vendetta. Not perfect, but is definitely solid.
