MH3 added some interesting cards that opened some new lanes I had previously been interested in, but didn't quite have the correct support for, or adequate surrounding power level to support in the cube.

First, let's go over the biggest change, the addition of a full on storm package. Storm has always been a minor part of the cube, mainly because it tends to be pretty oppressive if fully supported. Here, I've toned it down quite a bit, so all should be good. We have the High Tide package for storm count and mana generation, being High Tide to generate mana, Turnabout for even more mana, Mind's Desire to finish, and Great Whale instead of Palinchron, 1. because I already had it, and 2. because it makes storm that much weaker. Six from MH3 is what started the entire storm thought process, because it allows storm to operate in much easier, so why not allow it to operate easier in general?

For , I've decided to add a handful of spell doublers in Bonus Round, Krark, the Thumbless, and Dualcaster Mage. Almost all of these are capable of more than just doubling spells, but their main draw is storm support. is still mostly tokens, but could move to more spellslingers in the future, the core is already there. Ashling, Flame Dancer is very helpful for setting up big turns in both or /.

Abstruse Appropriation slots in as a direct upgrade over Vindicate. And about time, too. Also in /, Wernog, Rider's Chaplain gets replaced by Hidden Stockpile. Wernog, Rider's Chaplain didn't see much play, and Hidden Stockpile will slot into any / artifact or sacrifice deck.

For miscellaneous changes, Sakashima's Student is being swapped for Ninja of the Deep Hours. Most of the creature copiers are being removed, they are underperforming. Insidious Roots is a personal recent favorite, I believe there is enough discard and recursion to make it work, and it makes Tortured Existence much better. Ineffable Blessing comes in. Generally name 2 and it's an extra draw per creature. Oswald Fiddlebender is an artifact Birthing Pod, doesn't have a great identity yet but hopefully this will help push it. Shape Anew and Mad Ratter are both cut but still good enough, so back to the maybeboard they go. Long one, but hopefully should improve the cube a bunch!
