YES! i was waiting for the preview since they fully spoiled the set! Great job as usual
cant believe this is the 18th installment. Feels like just yesterday we were just talking about your classic cube and why Desolation Angel was such a sweet card.
great (p)review as usual! cant really disagree with anything in the top 10. Likely adding everything in the top 10 with the only one wavering being Brutal hoardchief.
like a few other cubers I took the majority of the green aggro out of my cube since it was just completely unplayed.
maybe with warden of the first tree, i will try to bring that archetype back. Still wishing for 2/1 for G with no drawback
always nice to have a few aggro cards at the top of the list!
3-1 before i had to drop (family circumstance). Saw a lot of D&T players. Lucky not to run into elves.
used Barbed Lightning / Madea's list (1 Cavern). Thanks GUYS!
SB closed to Madea's w Firewalkers
Beat POX, Burn (tho i probably deserved to lose), lose to Miracles and beat UR Delver
Deck played great.
Props
Kor Firewalker was a star off the SB. Had him every game i sb'ed him in.
Brimaz really solid all day when I got him out.
Spirit of the Labyrinth locks down great against blue
Batterskull (lifegain crucial so many times)
Flops
only Vialing in one creature all day (either my hand got disrupted, forced or just didnt have it)
playing Thalia while not noticing my opponent's Karakas
the price of Containment Priest at the event
just dropping in. Unfortunately with the move to curse forums, i am unable to access at work. super sad panda
yes true detective is a solid show. I am only up to eps 4 but good so far!
As usual, great review. Always look forward to your (P)review after the sets are released. Like everyone else said, a disappointing set, but 3-4 really good cards from a small set aint that awful.
Going to be adding the top 4 cards with a maybe to the Labyrinth and Reckless Reveler at 540.
Probably going to wait till some of drop in price of course!
Wow, kinda a bummer. Oh well, I was able to scrape the bottom of the barrel for a top 20 list, so at least there's that.
I will probably test 4-5 cards, and I could see 2-3 staying around for a while. 1 for sure.
Excited to see your top 20 preview (as usual)
gonna be a rough to fill out spots 10-20 probably
My list for 540
Brimaz, King of Orsekos
Courser of Kruphix
Kiora, the Crashing Wave (running 10 in each guild, so it does fit in)
Spirit of Labyrinth (540+)
Frantic Search wasn't a great tempo card for us when we played it, more of a combo/reanimator card. But I do like that card; I'd never count it out forever.
Snap is decent, but I prefer my bounce to come with card parity in the cube. Silent Departure is a good tempo bounce choice if you're looking for another card to fill that role.

anyways.. thanks for the write up and keep it up.

i wouldn't run at 450 though and most of you guys are in the <=450
(Jk, I know it is One Piece )
Cool, appreciate the thoughts as usual
thanks for the heads up on Silent Departure !
Since you are on the blue tempo plan, have you thought bout bringing in (or back) Frantic Search and or/ Snap.
I was thinking bout giving those a shot (my cube being at 500)
If you have friends that have excess commons/uncommons to donate to you, that could really help alot.
if i had a budget of $300, i would just replicate someone's c/ube on tcgplayer and see what i can get, you can probably build a really solid one.
