"Maybe not the thread for this but I’ve thought young pyromancer was over rated in cube for a long time.

It’s been in and out of my cube for years now and is currently out.

there’s decks where it’s a good card, but those decks are few and far between. You need much more spell/cantrip support than the slick shot needs to make it better than a random peice of interaction.
I think this is much better.

I believe it’s not in the MTGO cube at the moment either."

Young Pyromancer is currently out of my 360 as well. Only triggering off certain types of spells has proven to make it inconsistent. Decks still exist where it can be good/great but it feels too narrow for the current Iteration of my Cube. What do other people think now that Young P is more than a decade old?

This card looks pretty awesome. Can't wait to try it.

Weird this/that but I want to try it anyway...

For my 4th cycle of lands (after duals/shocks/fetches) would you rather have most of them be:

Triomes

OR

Canopy Lands

There will be a few exceptions to the cycle (Colonnade, Tar Pit) but wondering which cycle people would think is better as the 4th and final cycle of lands in a 360 Vintage Cube.

Thanks!

Added this card about a month ago to my powered 360 & it has been solid! Getting Metalcraft happens more often than you'd expect.

Rank these blue 3-drops for a Vintage Cube:

Aether Channeler
Chrome Host Seedshark
Tishana's Tidebender
Trinket Mage

Thanks!

Boots are the kind of card I wanted when I tested Rabbit Battery. In my Vintage Cube the artifact and equip cost are both critical and this one is about as low as you can go. Shadowspear has been awesome but Equip 2 is so much different than Equip 1.

Can't wait to see this card in green decks. It's going to hit so hard.

Haste is one of my favorite keywords and I love it for keeping slower decks honest.

Fateful Absence vs Get Lost and why?

Rank these red 4-drops for a Vintage 360 Cube:

Caves of Chaos Adventurer
Rampaging Raptor
Headliner Scarlett
Twinshot Sniper
Flametongue Kavu
Hellrider

Thanks!

I just got an Eater of Virtue and this comes!

While the power is smaller, haste surely makes up for it as the damage will come earlier.

Ward and Haste is a great combination too.

The great bonus is that this is a much simpler and effective design having no memory issues and bad side effects like my creatures exiling.

Good callout on the last piece. If cards are close enough in power level then the one with less things to track is typically preferable.

I am really excited to try out this card. I think it's going to be terrific.

Next week is my annual four day binge of 2-player Cube drafts. Any formats outside of what's listed here that people recommend? Thanks!

Laelia is awesome. Staple card in my 360.

That is all

Card is nearing a decade old (wow) & want to get feedback on how it's performed for others. The more I'm playing my Cube the more frustrated I've become with the 2R activation cost on Pia & Kiran Nalaar.

I'm just not sure this card does enough in small Cube lists to warrant a spot. Or have recent experiences sold the card short?

Genuinely curious for feedback on this card.

Thanks!

How is this card in 2024? I'm running a Vintage 360 and looking for any form of acceleration I can get. Is this too narrow? Sacrificing it is a brutal cost but with the lower curves nowadays could it work? Seems like exactly the land for aggro decks.

Thanks!

Edit: Apparently reading is difficult and this is Ancient Tomb. I swear I read this three times and it said "two mana of any color." As it's printed it doesn't sound like an effect that aggro would want
