With Shadows over Innistrad fully spoiled, I thought it would be a good time to look at the different cards that I might want to add to my Peasant Cube. For reference my cube can be found here:  Cubetutor Link It is time to wrap up this set with the rest of the cards!   Harvest Hand / Scrounged Scythe  I think Harvest Hand will be a addition to Aggro decks. As I have said before, I like cards that make your opponent decide what to do. They can either keep being attacked by a 2/2 or give you an equipment. I'm not so sure about the equipment in this set, but I like this one.   Enemy Pair Lands The first half of this cycle was printed in Oath of the Gatewatch, and I was wondering if they would finish it in this one. I like dual lands in my cube, and I hope having another cycle will help produce more multicolor masterpieces. Also, I don't think they have ever started a cycle like this in one block and finished in another. That was probably due t...

Rules: Roll 2 6-sided dice to determine number of trades. Select a Pokemon in the Wonder Trade box and trade them that many times. Repeat with how many different Pokemon I want. See what happens. I don't know if there is an actual point or not, but I thought it would be fun to see which Pokemon I get through the process. Trade 1 Dice Roll: 5 Start: Swablu -> Pikachu -> Shinx -> Amoonguss -> Bagon -> Ralts Trade 2 Dice Roll: 4 Start: Rotom -> Zigzagoon -> Fletchling -> Combee -> Machop Trade 3 Dice Roll: 3 Start: Zigzagoon -> Machop -> Ralts -> Roselia Trade 4 Dice Roll: 4 Start: Pelipper -> Togepi -> Zigzagoon -> Zubat -> Tauros Thank you, Philip Follow Me on Twitter!

With Shadows over Innistrad fully spoiled, I thought it would be a good time to look at the different cards that I might want to add to my Peasant Cube. For reference my cube can be found here:  Cubetutor Link Green is on the menu for today. Let's dig in! Autumnal Gloom / Ancient of the Equinox I really like this card. The G/B graveyard matters is something I want to push, and this card goes along way to helping that deck out. Even though the card that is being put into the graveyard is from the top of your deck and unknown, I think it is still worth playing. I expect this card to easily make it into the cube.   Duskwatch Recruiter / Krallenhorde Howler This card feels extremely powerful. The fact that it lets you dig into your deck and find creatures on one side and then make them cost less on the other side is just great. This is an obvious play, but you can cast him on turn 2, pay 3 for the cost on turn 3, and then flip him at end of turn. How perfect! ...

With Shadows over Innistrad fully spoiled, I thought it would be a good time to look at the different cards that I might want to add to my Peasant Cube. For reference my cube can be found here:  Cubetutor Link This time, we look at Red cards! Bloodmad Vampire Bloodmad Vampire is one of the many cards I really like from this set. This card can be a 4/1 for 2 when cast for its Madness cost, which means that a different card for a beneficial effect from discarding Bloodmad Vampire to it. The added effect of being able to grow pushes this card over the edge for me.   Geistblast Geistblast is an expensive Shock, but I like the added 2 generic and 1 blue cost for copying a instant or sorcery. I think this card will prove itself useful in a lot of ways in cube. Both Control and Burn decks could possibly run this card to give it an extra boost. This card should make the cut. Incorrigible Youths Incorrigible Youths goes along the same lines as Bloodmad Vampire ...

With Shadows over Innistrad fully spoiled, I thought it would be a good time to look at the different cards that I might want to add to my Peasant Cube. For reference my cube can be found here:  Cubetutor Link Let's keep going with Black cards! Gisa's Bidding This card is comparable to Moan of the Unhallowed from the last time we were in Innistrad except the difference between Flashback and Madness. Flashback is probably better for being able to cast the card twice, but I think Madness had its place, too. The plan is to play this card along side Moan of the Unhallowed to see if it is possible for them to coexist. If they don't play well together, Gisa's Bidding will probably get cut.   Heir of Falkenrath / Heir to the Night  I like this lady as a discard outlet for Madness or Dredge cards, but she can only be used once for that purpose without tricks. The upside to that is that at times, you do not need to keep reusing the discard outlet in a singleton...

With Shadows over Innistrad fully spoiled, I thought it would be a good time to look at the different cards that I might want to add to my Peasant Cube. For reference my cube can be found here:  Cubetutor Link Let's go right into Blue cards this time. Essence Flux Essence Flux is another card in the line of exile target creature, then return it to the battlefield. The difference here is that it is a 1 mana blue instance that only gives the creature a +1/+1 if it is a Spirit. I like this card as a way to dodge removal spells as well as reuse enter the battlefield effects. This card might not make it in the long run, but I want to test it out. Just the Wind Just the Wind is another Unsummon variant with Madness. With me trying to push graveyard in my cube, this card should fit in with all the cards that let you discard. U/G Madness type desks will really like this card. I am super excited to test this card out.   Rise from the Tides I want to try Rise fro...
