I seriously want to swap out Bonesplitter for this.
Love haste especially and the Ward isn't the worst either but giving haste to something in the mid-late game can really turn a match around.
Edit: I was feeling like a crazy person after seeing this card spoiled a few days ago & no thread. Usually that means my card evaluation is way off.
I'm going to make this swap. I also like it because more decks will want this effect as opposed to just the more aggressive decks wanting Bonesplitter.
Agreed with all of Steve's points above. Having just added a Draw-7 subtree to my Cube, Sail into the West is what I wanted for that spot. I also love that it is an instant to fit with what blue likes to do.
Deathclaw and Trophy would also be my choices for BG from a raw power level perspective. Deathclaw is cooler but Trophy seems more versatile.
How good is Dig Through Time in 2024? It can be crazy cheap in the late game and be backbreaking. Early-mid game it can be uncastable. Does blue "need" a card like this?
I like this over Sulfurous Springs. I don't get to Cube as much as I used to but I have seen its second ability win multiple games. I've never seen the final ability get activated.
Revisiting red 3 drops as there are several of these that I'm not running in my MaxPower 360 that I feel like belong. Ignore the semantics of whether or not all of these are technically 3 drops & rank them:
I love Brazen Borrower and have been considering trying to find space for Rift at 360. I also love the Overload effect as a GG moment. Cards that break stalemates are ones that I like to have in the Cube.
I missed Anim Pakal during spoiler season & it is quite interesting. Deciding on that vs Rip Apart for my powered 360. 3-drops are already so stacked with all the Rabblemaster variants.

Appreciate your lists as always!
This card is making me question if I want the Monarch mechanic in my Cube.
Definitely going to test this one.
Oracle of Mul Daya is a card that wouldn't fit in my Cube even at 540 so I am good with cutting it (especially since you are lowering the curve!)
