Dictate of Heliod: I was skeptical when this went in and it lasted over a decade. Sometimes cube is like that! This was never an all-star, but it held its own as a low-tier playable that could steal games.

Elspeth: This still serves as an anthem and a win condition, while also providing a little more juice for token-focused decks (and a little more reason for me to lean towards token creation in card choices as well).

Qarsi Revenant: Trying this out over Nighthawk Scavenger. The hawk has a higher ceiling in play, but this has a (slightly) higher floor and the added value is a lot more than nothing. I'm interested to see how it plays.

Professional Face-Breaker: This consistently overperformed my expectations, and I'm much sadder to see it go than I would have expected when I first put it in as a slot-filler.

Tersa: This hits a few different axes I like: it's strong, it's got ETB synergy (albeit mitigated by the legendary typeline), it's got graveyard synergy, and it has a cool effect we haven't seen before.

Piggy Bank: This was fine but never amazing. My favorite thing about it was the copycat synergy, but it's not such a big reward that even that was terribly exciting.

Sunset Strikemaster: I'm really intrigued by the concept of a straight-up red mana dork, and the fact that it's also an acceptable beater makes for a really compelling package.

Warden of the Grove: This goes kinda hard. Once it gets more than one counter on it you're really starting to pop off with spirit tokens or giant beaters, and even at a baseline it has solid stats.

Maelstrom Wanderer: This is always, always fun to cast. But the power level has been slowly moving further and further away from playable for reasons other than affection, and it stands up particularly poorly in a world where other high-drops are subsidized by cheat options.

Roar of Endless Song: This is a lot of stats. It's just a couple vanilla guys but those guys just have soooo many stats. And so do your other guys when the time comes!

Raffine: Seldom played, never exciting.

Kotis: Kind of an interesting sideways approach to a Meren kind of situation. Stronger while it's around but more limited in scope. I hope this can find a home in the occasional value reanimator strategy.
