I played this card a few years ago and cut it again. Also, I think I mostly play all the same 4 or 5 drop creatures I did a few years ago, with the most notable changes being Fury, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician and Urza, Lord High Artificer. I'm not convinced that this is enough for me to reconsider Eldritch Evolution, especially since it has the double-green mana cost. Depends on whether I see a good other cut, but I like Green Sun's Zenith quite a bit more. But maybe I have space, and I love this kind of creature-cheating!
I also think that the niche of Price is better catered with Sulfuric Vortex. Vortex also shuts down lifegain, which meanwhile is rather significant - and it is very good when played on curveand still presents reach and inevitability when played a bit later.
I have pondered on that for some time actually, together with Blood Moon, Back to Basics and Contamination (Contamination since I like myself some hard Stax :D)
I am no Legacy player myself, but enjoy watching it, and all those cards (except Contamination) see heavy sideboard play (PoP and Moon even Mainboard)
So what do you say, which of those do you see port best to Cube and why?
So far, I never thought these cards were quite good enough due to the imperfect manabase of quite a few cubedecks. How much damage would PoP need to deal in order to be worth it. 4 is not enough, but I think 6 would be, but only in the very rarest cases could this be cast on Turn 4 or 5 in my opinion.
Due to the prevalence of basics in typical cubes, I believe Contamination to be the best consideration for choking someone off mana by unconventional means (i.e. indirect landdestruction)
I think I'd be very happy with wanderer if it had trample, but as is, I'm not sure this is actually the finisher I want. Interestingly, this would be more than okay if it was CMC 9, since all my other green finishers have CMC 8.
