For 450 I like Mosswood Dreadnoght due to it’s versatility as an aggro and grindy midrange/ card advantage engine.
Embereth Veteran’s ability is not trivial, as you have pointed out. Will get this one as well.
As I dont have duals and dislike DFCs, manlands are still top options for my cube. Will probably get the manlands but not in much of a hurry and will settle for the Zendikari ones for now.
Still like Pia and Kiran. The tokens have evasion, can block and have artifact synergy. Combined with direct damage it is useful for both aggro and control.
I like lumbering falls in a sense that the opponent cannot prepare for it in terms of instant removal. That said this one is really hard to kill in combat. This works against a big blocker, and works against a chump in a sense you can turn one of your own chumps bigger.
What’s unique about this in terms of adventure is that you have decent choices. You can cast the creature if you need board presence or “cycle” it otherwise. You get the creature option and the cycle option again later.
This definitely belongs in the Boros section, as you need burn spells for the ability to matter. Otherwise a vanilla 3/1 just won’t cut it. And this is not good enough for the guild slot.
I think it’s too slow for an artifact synergy card. Investigating is tied to casting historic and likely that is an artifact, so you are getting artifact synergies anyway.
In a heavy artifact cube, the 2 slot is really packed, especially for equipment synergies like Sram, Puresteel Paladin etc. Will try it out there if this is a cheap card.
Definite add of you have artifact synergies. Low cmc spells produce “scrap” artifacts that power Kanstructs or Welder foddler, while large spells can provide finishers.
Not adding in my 450 but adding in my artifact cube of course. (Which works so well with Affinity spells like Thoughtcast and Reality Heist)
Sad news for sure. Normally the internet is a messy, uncivilized place, but mtgsalvation has been my haven for people talking about the game they love.
Good luck on your next adventure and thanks for the years of fun.
Same thoughts as mine. Flash block is a thing, too.

Embreth Vereran
Manlands - not sure which ones yet, but ruled out the BW one.
For artifact cube:
Tough Cookie
Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender
Elvish Archivist
oh, I missed that. That males a huge difference. Might really be better than Lumbering Falls.
Sexy upgrade.
