I miss this channel so much. You were a huge part of me getting into cube and giving me the confidence in building my own environments. Hope to see you return if you find the time and passion for it again.
I think a couple of the battles are definitely powerful enough to cut it if you're not opposed to the complexity they introduce. I don't think they've been especially conservative! The other card I think is really strong for power-motivated cubes is Elspeth's Smite.
Hey there Andy, Anthony, and LuckyPaper friends! Elspeth's Smite is a good call, thanks! Which Battles do you think are the most likely contenders at high power? Invasion of Gobakhan and maybe Invasion of Ixalan stick out as ones that could be in the conversation.
Guardian Scalelord would be busted at 4 mana. It's already REALLY good, if you play backup on big dumb monster that then replays another big dumb monster and attacks as a flyer?
Has the cube community considered drafting packs that aren’t 15 cards? Just kinda came to my mind, why 15 instead of say 16? Why not 4 packs of 12? Maybe a nice topic for a video? Or I am just clueless.
Ah, I should have touched on Rona, Herald of Invasion, thank you! The 3 toughness is good. It's cool that it untaps when you cast legends, but that's pretty much trinket text. In high power environments, I don't place a huge amount of stock in the backside -- it's often going to be a feelbad when you sink 8 mana (or 7 mana and two life) into this thing and then it gets wrathed or doombladed. But the main issue is that I am just not super high on looters these days. We have lots of ways to fill the yard. What do you think about the new card? Do you like it?
Def appreciate the assessment on Khnra Spellspear. I'm not as hyped about it; I've been told I should be hyped about it. I guess I just like my Sprite Dragons and Electrostatic Infantries for the 'spells matter' kind of deck.
@@CulticCube As for the rest of the review, in addition to including the original Pacifism :p , the assessment on everything else seems fair. I don't think there is a hell of a lot that's more serviceable than something else that all ready exists. Battles are fun in retail limited but I gen agree that their place in most homemade draft environments don't make the most compelling gameplay on the battlefield (more hoops and Rube Goldberg machines). The "new Baneslayer" tho does thread that needle between OG Baneslayer and Mulldrifter kind of ok. It can put it's effect on the ETB onto something else to take a crack. Can move the game forward. All that said, I like your cubes the way they are 🙂

Welcome back! Have you seen Botanical Brawler for the +1/+1 matters archetype?

I often do 5 packs of 9 cards for smaller groups. Works very well. More first picks!
No Mendon of the new looter?

@@CulticCube good video though!
What happened to this channel :(
