For me, I'm interested in more engine cards to be printed at common. Tortured Existence is great, and I wish there were other cards with repeatable engine abilities available in other colors.

anything particular in mind? i doubt we will ever see a common as complex as Tortex ever again and i couldnt think of a simple engine we can use right away. even tortex is too clunky in spikey cubes.

well its slightly higher than sometimes in the past, but i wonder how many cards will make the cut. each new set has a tougher time to make it into the cube(s)
I would never cosider the raven for example. at this point they need to give us upgrades to already playable cards or unique effects.
This is really strong in my opinion (beats out Rain of Revelation in my cube.) What I really like is giving control decks more options for turn 2, but then the instant allows for holding up a counter, and using this if they play nothing.
The Vandel im weary about. It takes some set up: having a creature in the yard and them having something to hit. So its not really a 2 drop in that regard (or its a 1/3 for 2cmc which I will pass on). I thinm id rather having a Nature's claim instead.
The dual lands have intrigued me since you pointed that out. Might be worth it over the gain 1 life lands...
i dont think the vandal works really well. having to exile the creature is a big downside in g, since it lacks 1mana cyclers. its nice that it exiles the target though, so it more of a mid to lategame card if you need the effect.
i dont see a reason to run the gainlands still. a 360 cube is well satisfied with 10 karoos + 5 thriving +3 fetches. the snowlands are certainly the 2nd best cycle though.
Now I really want to see a common printing of the slow fetches (Flood Plain, etc.). I still don't understand that they haven't made a full cycle, which they can put into any commander deck.
i dont think is need a 3/6 vigilance in my white. i certainly dont want to skip my 2nd turn for it. although is still like it somehow. but nowadays creatures need either protection or evasion to be really viable.
the cavalry is certainly playable. i dont think it replaces the onedrops, because getting haste on your 2 drop is pretty good and there are only so much playable onedrops in red.
the aura is just another removal in white. solid but not too exciting in my book. i like o ring more because it prevents self sacrifice.
Raider's Karve
3
Artifact - Vehicle
Whenever Raider's Karve attacks, look at the top card of your library, if it's a land card, you may put it onto the battlefield tapped.
Crew 3
I like the effect, but crew 3 is too much for a 40% chance of bonus. Still, an interesting way to get some ramp in for other colors.
so id like to discuss, what are (realistic) cards your cube would need right now?
i must admit i havent played since Ikoria, because Xmage doesnt support Mutate
so I dont really know how the balance changed.
I guess any form of competitive green card advantage on a stick is always welcomed. as well as the missing (and delayed?) 5/5 for 5, gain 5 life

they look great and have basic land types, but too late now, my snowcube melted long ago.

finally an upgrade to the cmc4 2/2s, draw

Augury Raven is a strict upgrade on Phantom Monster.
I like the Wolf as well as the Masked Vandal.
Dual Lands at common also open some very interesting synergies...
--> Kird Ape et al.
--> Farseek, Wood Elves
--> Elvish Aberration et al.

Behold the Multiverse also is really good. Another great draw spell, that it's hard to find a spot for.
Augury Raven is decent, but probably outclassed nowadays.
Frost Bite is pretty decent with Snow Lands. Sadly it doesn't go face.

This is interesting. Foretell it on t2 or t3, and you can get a 3/6 vig on t4. Still net 6 mana, but having it out early could make the difference.

This is like a green feat of resistance, which I run. Cheaper, smaller, but lasting vines of vastwood.
I also disregarded this before, but it's not far from Leonin Scimitar, and guarantees some damage
Helm is ok, but I probably still stick to Scimitar because it takes a colorless slot and the ping is mostly irrelevant

I like this more than Goblin motivator. A 2/2 for 2cmc that can still be useful late game.
"Immobilize with Gold"
2W
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant permanent
Enchanted permanent can't attack, block, or crew Vehicles, and can't activate its abilities unless they are mana abilities
Basically O-ring without the exile. Better for not retriggering ETB effects?
the aura is just another removal in white. solid but not too exciting in my book. i like o ring more because it prevents self sacrifice.
