Tarkir: Dragonstorm looks like a great set, but its focus on splashy rares and mythics means it doesn't have that much to offer pauper.

I'm pretty happy with most of these edits, but found blue the hardest.

Wingspan Stride probably isn't that good, even if it is better than similar Auras, and there's a good chance I undo the Rain of Revelation/Focus the Mind swap. Dirgur Island Dragon (the common blue Omen dragon) could also be included as an alternative to Rimeshield Frost Giant or Quicksilver Fisher. At first, I valued ward as fairly insignificant on a 6-mana creature, but the option to cast it as Skimming Strike (tap up to one target creature, draw a card) for 2 mana could make up for it.

The card I'm most excited for in this update is Magmakin Artillerist. In hindsight, I should also replace Writhing Necromass with Chitin Gravestalker. Flood the Engine is also apparently quite good in Aetherdrift limited, but the cube already has better versions of the same thing.

I like the idea of Start Your Engines, but there weren't a lot of impressive payoffs at common.

Light of Hope has actually been in the cube for a while, but I accidentally entered an extra Unbounded Potential instead of it. Bartered Cow can give a bit more value to discard decks. I'm undoing the swap Nettle Guard-Cathar Commando swap, as the Heroic/Valiant archetype will probably not receive much future support.

A 20-ish card update, going deeper into +1/+1 counters, Auras, and a little bit of reanimator. Summon Undead was cut for being too slow in comparison to Late to Dinner and Dread Return, but might see a comeback. We're leaning more into the suggestion that instant-speed, 0-mana sac outlets are too good, which is why Plagued Rusalka and Novice Dissector are in.

Makeshift Munitions is the only change to red, and I'll be keeping a close eye on it as it could easily prove to be too oppressive.

I'm trying to plant the beginnings of GW and RW Heroic/Valiant archetypes. The card pools are not particularly deep, and I suspect they will need more support than I've given them.

The removal of Carrion Feeder following the Departure of Bloodthrone Vampire could signal a large drop in power for the dominant BR aristocrats midrange deck. I don't want to make the archetype unplayable, but we'll have to see how big this change is.

More Tortured Existence has been added in the form of Golgari Brownscale, Sanitarium Skeleton, Basking Rootwalla and Rot Farm Mortipede. I'm most curious to see if this brings self-mill/TortEx as the main (or even only) black-based synergy shell.

On a whim, I've decided to test out a card I've long considered too oppressive for the cube: Waterfront Bouncer. Only draft will tell how good it is.

I played two prereleases and did bad at both, but at least I got some sweet cube cards out of it. This update is mostly notable for removing the three foretell cards in the cube.

Elementalist Adept and Mocking Sprite were contenders to be added, but I couldn't find suitable cuts for them.

I've undone my previous removal of Snarling Gorehound for Cackling Slasher in favour of giving a few cards to the black sacrifice deck.

A new set is upon us, and that means new cube additions! The Tarkir gain-lands are at long last being replaced, as Duskmourn presents the first ever cycle of common lands that conditionally enter untapped.

Surprisingly for a horror set, white received the most love this time around, with powerful removal upgrades in the form of Trapped in the Screen and Seized from Slumber. I might look more into black, red and blue, but they seem fairly close to what the cube already has.

Snooping Newsie is a long overdue addition over the woefully underperforming Memory Sluice.

A minor update following a draft of a box of Brother's War. Some of the more lackluster artifacts have been removed to make room for the Assembly Worker trio. I hope it works out!

It's a new Modern Horizons set, and that means above-average commons!

I was so impressed with the landscape cycle that I added all ten without any cuts, and I'm eager to see if they make three-colour decks more viable. There are some notably powerful multicolour cards as well -- I'm paying particular attention to Writhing Chrysalis and Conduit Goblin.

A few energy cards have been added, with an eye toward cards that don't need heavy energy support to be effective. Energy is potentially an interesting archetype, so I might include more support for it later.

Not all the cards in this update are new. I finally got my hands on a Double Masters printing of Cast Down. Replacing Gideon's Reproach with You Hear Something on Watch was also way overdue.

I'm looking forward to drafting soon, and will post a report when we're done!

Mostly pruning some of the worse green cards. I also noticed that white had only one Aura (Hyena Umbra) that you would want to play on your own creature, so I fixed that too.

Since decks running heavy spot removal have repeatedly proven themselves very strong, I've decided to add more hexproof and ward as a countermeasure. We'll have to see how much of a difference it makes.

Hymn to Tourach has been replaced by Pulling Teeth until I get a Wrench Mind. Hymn quickly showed it was too strong after being briefly re-added.

Pillar of Flame has been replaced by Rush of Adrenaline to cut down on the volume of red burn spells and skew red slightly more toward combat tricks and prowess.

Razzle-Dazzler and Nezumi Linkbreaker look like they have potential in tempo and sacrifice decks respectively.
