The Oxford Cube is a vintage, powered-down money cube. It is designed to be the most intensely competitive limited environment a Magic
player can experience.

It is also to be understood as a life-long passion in progress.

Just some last-minute tweaks, mostly for balance. On second thought, Eidolon's value outweighs the bit of speed lost with the Gorger, who has likely played exclusively as a Sav Lion since being introduced in any case. This switch is in line with this update's more general approach of removing aggro's speedy, but otherwise weak one-drops (in both red and white) for more reach/fortitude. Orzhov gets two much better cards to match the upgraded strength of some other guilds this update. I have always been a big fan of Obzedat and have personally seen the card service the Esper Lock/Prison archetype well. Bloodghast was benched when black aggro was, but I'm thinking that might have been a mistake--that he actually provides enough value for black decks more broadly. There is also a bit of second-thinking the Ugin cut, so I figure a little more time to see for sure is in order.
