Here are my includes and goodbyes to the platform as well. Gonna miss MTGS, I might not have been too active replying all the time, but I was reading everything especially on spoiler time and thinking of what to include from new sets.
Have to say Modern Horizons was amazing for Cube - they definitely had cube in mind while making the set. Very cool.
Talisman > Signet for me. Signets need extra mindfulness on how you use your mana. Our group that has some that haven't played forever can appreciate not having to track that kind of thing.
1) Hybrid is good enough to replace a gold card.
2) Hybrids to mono section. If the card would make sense and would be good enough in the mono section without hybrid mana.
3) Have 2 hybrids and add them to the guild section and then have 1 less card in both mono colored sections.
Mixing these I haven't had too much trouble adding hybrid cards and being happy with the balance.
I will be adding Nature's Chant, probably replacing Forsake the Worldly with it and adding it to the white section. Let's see how things shake up with the rest of the set.
Yeah, that seems like a bad reason to get rid of Flickerwisp.
It is more a test cut than something permanent, have to try it on over something. Not so sure it will stick. Feel free to suggest other cuts from my list though.
I think this is better in power cube as there are more good mana rocks, which you can use to cast this and not have so many lands stay untapped. I might test in place of the expertise.
Awesome, this is a shoe-in over Viridian Shaman. Not strictly better as this won't produce mana with leveled up Joraga Treespeaker! Having the destroy clause have may is nice and also some additional artifact hosing doesn't hurt.

Sure it does. I attack with this, you block with Baneslayer Angel, I bolt it, it becomes 2/2 and my mage becomes 2/3 due to prowess.
