Thanks for the write up!
There were so many good cards in this set, but I just couldn't find room for them!
Sandstorm Salvager / Blue counterspells are three examples!

Goodking posted a message on Set (P)review - My top 20 Outlaws of Thunder Junction (OTJ) cards for the cube!Great write-up - 50 (!) instalments already... I don't always comment but I do typically read and enjoy these.Posted in: Articles, Podcasts, and Guides
Set is fantastic after a quieter one with MKM, though I've yet to determine cuts for a couple of the cards we want to test.
Incidental token support has had a nice boost lately with Securitron Squadron and now Sandstorm Salvager. -

guyincorporated posted a message on [[MCD]] Stax Effects (Smokestack and Braids)If Braids has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Braids has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Braids has only one fan then that is me. If Braids has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Braids, then I am against the world.Posted in: Cube Card and Archetype Discussion
Braids is one of my absolutely favorite cube cards and is still a terror whenever she hits the table. My heart is breaking that sentiment is turning against her.
Braids + Stacks also gets bonus points for leading to incredibly memorable games (which, for me, is the whole point of cube). More than once we've had games effectively restart on turn 7 or 8 when basically nobody has permanents in play anymore. -

BM_design posted a message on Card Æsthetics Evaluation ThreadGot my foil extended Leovold alter back today! Commissioned to Shivan Alter, I asked her a redo of a classical painting of Napoleon. As a frenchie it will probably be the signature card of my Vintage powered cube!Posted in: The Cube Forum

Razomka posted a message on [540][Powered] wtwlf123's CubeInteresting! I like the idea and the concept.Posted in: Cube Lists
Thank you for taking the time to write it up.
Now I think to consider if I want to increase my cube size, however, it currently has an "expansion" cube to allow it to increase to 720 if plenty of people want to play it.
Thank you for the food for thought. -

Alan Yuan posted a message on [540][Powered] wtwlf123's CubeThanks for sharing your thoughts!Posted in: Cube Lists
I'm actually on a bit of a different path is that I actively would like to see more 3c-4c decks because I just really like seeing interactions like end of turn, Collected Company into Uro/ Grist/ Broadside etc. I found archetypes, especially Flicker, Artifacts.dec, Persist, Storm etc. receive a significant boast as a 3c/ 4c archetype without devoting enormous amounts of real estate supporting it.
I have a similar dilemma which is that I really like the Surveil lands, but I'm unwilling to part with my Manlands. I'm considering cutting 2 mono color cards and adding the Surveil Lands or just adding the Surveil lands and going to 730. -

I will stay at 420, since this is ideal for Burn-2 drafts for 4 players that run relatively infrequently, and I am not interested in Storm, but all your changes still heavily influence my updates as well. -

Fredo posted a message on [PIP][CUBE] Caesar, Legion's EmperorDefinitely a cube-worthy card, I wouldn't fault anyone for running it. This card will be great in token builds, and all mardu colors have lots of token generators.Posted in: Cube Card and Archetype Discussion
What's noteworthy is that you don't need to attack with Caesar to get the trigger, so it has an impact from turn 1. The third ability can become game-ending pretty quickly, and the first adds 2 tokens to the board; black has plenty of self-recurring creatures to sacrifice and if you run aristocrats, a sacrifice outlet is nice to have. If the third ability isn't worth taking yet, you can draw a card.
The only real disadvantage this card has is it being tricolor IMO, it's the only factor preventing me from just slamming it in. -

It's a much better Duplication, since TSA can also copy artifacts.

I agree with all of this. Horizon lands > Triomes, and Anchorage > Colonnade.
Yuuuuuuup.

You're getting very different results because the cards function very differently from one another. It depends entirely on what kinds of decks you're trying to support.
