Happy to see Path of Discovery crack the list. I have added it to a bant tokens deck. I am also considering it in Meren. It draws cards, throws creatures in the graveyard, etc. It can help churn through the deck.
I am surprised Path of Discovery is not on the list. Also think Nezahal is a bit overrated. Having no evasion really hurts, I have played with the card and it has not been as good as I want it to be. Love the read though. Nice work, Thanks!
I decided to necro this thread to see if thoughts have changed. The RR casting cost still makes me think it is only worthwhile in larger cubes. But what has the experience been with this card in cube?
Agreed. Pia and Kiran give you some reach with repeatable burn or they help protect you by cluttering up the board. Three creatures, 2 of them with flying, for 4 mana is just a great value no matter the other possible synergies.
So you can use Kiki/Twin to get infinite attack steps but if they have blockers that blank you then infinite combat turns wont actually allow you to win. Not being able to go wide means the combo may or may not actually win you the game based on the board state. I support the combo in my cube but this feels like an iffy include for me.
Mind Twist felt too strong for my unpowered cube, even without fast mana from Signets. Interesting that multiple in here have found it to be OK. Maybe I was too quick to cut it.
Really curious to see any testing results. I have been struggling to decide whether or not I want to include the Monarch mechanic in my cube. Both this and Custodi Lich are on my list as potential additions, hoping to hear some feedback. Thanks!
I am considering dropping Keranos for either Izzet Charm or Fire / Ice, just not sure which one I like better. I have had a fondness for Keranos but it may be time to finally make a change.
Thanks to everyone in this thread, it was really helpful. My LGS had a low turnout for Gameday so only had to play 5 rounds with mono red Eldrazi but went 2-0 in all 5 rounds, including the finals vs G/R ramp. Deck played great for me and I got the playmat.
