Literally forgot this wasn’t in the cube. Opps. Phelia and Flickerwisp have new friends.
We've got a long overdue update for Aetherdrift and ahead of schedule for Tarkir!
Moved out some of the cards that just haven't been performing and really were unimpressive in general. Batterskull and Opposition Agent certainly might come back, we'll have to see.
Coming soon, another large update to remove bad storm!
Nothing in Foundations really excited me. So just added the Cub and a late one with Kaito. Nothing crazy.
It is time for Twin's long tenure in this cube to end. It hasn't been fun for a while, its a mess to draft and it doesn't do what we want it to anymore. So its gone, in it's place some very cool new cards from Duskmourn and a plethora of the new Overlords. Next up, mana flare storm's time is coming.
Bloomburrow was not exactly a cube set for the history books. There are certainly some tribal cubes out there who will love this one but its not for me. So only a small two card shift. Gonti, which long since should have left and Bloodtithe, which may one day come back.
Green has needed some help for a while and red was filled with garbage that detracted from it's overall goal. This is no longer the case. Green has mostly changed to a land focused deck with additional support in red to make Gruul a desirable color combination to draft. Some of these changes are fairly experimental, Valakut being the most prominent of those but we'll see how they play.
Today marks a significant upgrade to the cube. This cube was first formed from the MH2 iteration of the MTGO Vintage Cube and modified from there. That was the original version of the cube that got posted here, its only fitting that the next iteration of the cube comes from MH3. With that change and the changes spawning from the cube contributors in the DMV area, I wanted to rechristen this cube to honor that.
MH3 is a big moment for cube, attributing to over half of the changes in this update. I bought over 50 cards of potential from MH3 and these are just the ones that made it in. More may join us later.
In addition to MH3, I readded the doomsday cycle of cards to buff up combo decks and removed some of the miserable storm cards that have long since aged out of relevance. And finally, I added an cycle of the bolt land MDFCs, mostly from MH3 but a few of the originals from Zendikar Rising.
And of course, a large portion of this is the classic "This was good on MTGO so lets try it" wave.
We'll see what stays and what goes but this should be a really good update and I'm excited to play it!
Yeah, I shoulda added Surveil Lands ages ago but I resisted. I also gave in and finally added more Init cards so to give a bit of balance to what colors get that power. Finally added some really cool OTJ cards and other cards that have impressed me recently. Big update for MH3 I'm sure will be coming next month!
Yeah this set was uh, not good for Cube. When your best add is effectively a second copy of an already good card, thats a bad sign. But hey, I'll take the discount. At least we got a small little surprise card.
