I am running Delighted Halfling in my powered 360. I really like giving green more tools to beat the blue deck. We will see how long it sticks around.
Relic of Sauron doesn't excite me at all but your Cube list is quite different than mine so it could fit in your Cube just fine. That's a philosophical difference in how we've built our Cubes that's outside the scope of this thread. You could justify its inclusion.
So hard to make a cut in a 3-card guild section, but this is great. Maybe time to let go of Ajani Vengeant.
Cheers,

Same cut I made. Rip Apart and Figure round out my 3 card section.
Don't want to threadjack but in higher powered Cubes the 4-mana walkers aren't nearly as good as what they used to be. It feels like 3 mana is the new 4 mana for a Walker's optimal mana value.
Appreciate the feedback. Not to get too off-topic but giving black a way to deal with enchantments has been WAY better than I expected it to be. But I agree in a vacuum it isn't the most powerful card.
Making the swap and bringing back Snuff Out for Cut Down. Will continue to monitor this section (especially Feed The Swarm).
It's 2023. How would you rank this card today? Didn't make the cut when I moved to 360 but our last removal spot in B is currently occupied by Cut Down and thinking of going with the "free" removal spell. Thoughts?
White 5-drops received some interesting new cards this set. This is causing me to examine the current ones I'm running. I'm running Angel of Invention, Cloudgoat, Solitude & Timeless Dragon.
Where would you rank Cloudgoat among all white 5-drops? 4 bodies for 5 mana is a good deal but wondering how people feel this card is aging in a modern Cube environment?
I'm at the point in my MaxPower Cube where 6+ drops better win the game to be included. We are starting to get to that point with 5-drops as well. The format is just so fast.
I am going to test this card (and possibly the Backup Baneslayer) because I like the immediate value they both often will provide. Unsure if they will stick around long term but I really like how Backup can be unexpected. It's as close to a combat trick as we see in my environment.
I've had this card in my Cube for over a decade now but is it still good enough? I run a MaxPower 360 & one of my fellow Cubers insists it's great whereas I think it's cuttable at this point. Thoughts on GSZ in the modern Cube environment?

I normally hate Punisher mechanics but hopefully this one is different.

Bonecrusher is insane value and easily the top choice for me.
Champion may ultimately be second best but I'm going by gut feeling right now.
Last draft a player got to Wheel of Fortune with it in play. TWICE in one evening.
One draft I had it out and my opponent was losing. He ripped Recall and went to cast it. I said, "Take six?" and he got super upset. It was glorious.
This card deserves testing in all Cubes. It's not too late!
He only does regular set releases so no Commander cards.
Wow. Oko is insane. So good.
This card is still solid and will be fun to play.
