“Until morale improves the previews WILL continue” – Wizards of the Coast apparently. This one’s pretty nuts folks, let’s get into it. White Phizzled: I have been enamored of for quite a while now. I don’t think it’s a perfect answer, but like and , it offers future proofing for many questions the Cube could…

LTR Quick Hits
Black Omni: We’ve run similar versions of this in blue, and it’s done just fine there, and black has more things that care about the excess bodies. I do wish this was a + a 1/1 rather than a 1/1 in the air and a 2/2 token, but it seems fine enough Neveron: It fills…
March of the Machine Quick Hits
We’re back already, we’ve got a new set that truly does ask “how many words can you fit on a magic card?” and there’s some surprising cards showing up! Let’s see what the finale of the Phyrexian Invasion (part 2) has in store for the wonderful world of common. White Neveron: A bigger, meaner is…
ONE/BRO/40K Update
This update is a very large one and features a huge change to The Pauper Cube moving forward. With this update we’re expanding the list to be 450 cards total. This decision was not a spur of the moment one, but generally cards in the cube are well liked by the community and the committee…
Phyrexia: All Will be One Quick hits
White Solset: Toxic can be distracting here, but for aggro, duelist can swing confidently against most colors for quite a while. Omni: I think this is one of the better bears with upside for just turning things sideways. Agree on the toxic being additive distraction. Phizzled: I’m mentally allergic to toxic, just because it’s something…
Brother’s War/Warhammer 40K Quick Hits
White Phizzled: I can’t decide which part of the card people like most. If it was a 2/2 flyer for 2W, we’d have plenty of choices. If the win case is getting the 1/1 flyer and a card, remains the gold standard and the only unconditional version. But, even in cube, hitting a plains or…
Dominaria United Quick Hits
A quick note to start things off, we’re going to have off color kicker cards in the gold section. We’ve talked at length about these as “not really gold cards” on the discord at length, but this is a question of convenience. White Omniczech: Loosely comparable to , this is a neat option, I know…
2X2 Quick Hits
White Omniczech: well the trend of 3 mana 2 power white cards that draw has found its ultimate variation for now. While this is definitely limited in what it can get, the body is nicer and I expect this will be well enough liked. Neveron: In the Baldur’s Gate review, I wrote that they kept…
CLB Quick Hits
Omniczech: We’ve pulled these out as they’re a class of card that is a very large power level anomaly the likes of which we haven’t seen since Conspiracy 2, a set I can barely believe is six years old. The initiative is reminiscent of the monarchy but with a slightly more aggressive, board impacting effect,…
SNC Update
Just in time for Commander Legends 2: Electric Boogaloo, we’ve got an update for Streets of New Capenna! Color In Out New Cards White was an instant hit with the community, and it’s not hard to see why. With Priest of Ancient Lore in the cube already, this is just a better card. Riftwatcher represents…
