I wish for more cubable morph cards so the actual mechanic can be relevant, I mean morph loses so much of it's gameplay value when your opponent knows what creature you have face down, I'm actually exited to play a game in cube when my opponent plays something face down and I have to guess what it is. Other than that the usual I expect from a set, cheap aggro creatures, some more good removal and mana fixing.
As for the commander update
I wanted to put toxic in and the first card that came to my mind as the cut was read the bones, witch is sad since I actually really like the whole life for card in black,maybe I can it in latter.
Absent was also a no brainer, oust was the most similar effect that wasn't core in the cube so it got the axe, no resentment about this one.
I really like the Pox archetype so Ophiomancer was a gift for me, undead gladiator was a durdle card anyways.
The curse is awesome in Pox and black aggressive strategies and black aggressive decks are quite common here, attrition was also an enchantment and at the same cost so it seemed like a good cut.
And then we get to the big one, True-Name Nemesis, sounds a bit silly doesn't it? Well I'm keeping a very close eye in this one, I don't know how good he is gonna be, but if he starts to go into every single blue deck and starts winning way too much by himself he might get the cut for powerlevel, now this is very rare around here I have only once thought about taking a card of the cube cause of that and it was elspeth(the best planeswalker in the cube), well I guess time will tell.
Overall it was a great set for cube. I feel that with every set bigger cubes get more cards to fill it so we don't see too many fringe or bad cards as filler,in some time big cubes will be as tight as 360 ones.
I'm going to cry in the corner if you don't mind.
