Cube Update 2. Another 7 Packs! —May 3, 2023
Grabbed a few more packs for the cube! I was pleasantly surprised and lucky with some of my pulls. From Core Set 2019 we got a nice viable recursion creature in Isareth the Awakener. Not much of a money pull but I think it will be valuable to have for reanimate themes in the cube.
From Theros Beyond Death I got incredibly lucky pulling a Underworld Breach it's going to be wild being able to play with this in the cube. Red is looking very enticing for this cube. Getting Underworld Dreams and Omen of the Sea is pretty clutch too.
From Zendikar Rising I pulled a Orah, Skyclave Hierophant. This might be a bust, not a ton of clerics in the cube. But the creature is still a 3/3 with lifelink for 4 mana, so it's not terrible. Currently there are only 6 clerics in the cube. I at least pulled the uncommon Malakir Rebirth Flip which has climbed a ton in value.
From Innistrad: Midnight Hunt I got a pretty nasty blue pull with Lier, Disciple of the Drowned this would definitely be a fun card to build your entire deck around. Blue definitely improved after these recent additions. Delver of Secrets Flip is a pretty good uncommon pull too.
From Adventures in the Forgotten Realms I pulled a pretty nice black land Hive of the Eye Tyrant it could be a nice card for shutting down other graveyard decks, Farideh, Devil's Chosen is also a super fun card.
Crimson Vow had my best pull of the night, though it's kind of a meh card for draft, it would be a lot better in other formats. But if someone goes Izzet a full art Stormcarved Coast might be worth a draft pick.
Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty gave me the first planeswalker of the cube! Pulled a Tamiyo, Compleated Sage which should be fun.
Right now, the color symbol spread is as follows:
Red: 48 Green: 42 Black: 44 White: 36 Blue: 41 Blue caught way up, Red is maybe getting a little out of hand, I hope my next few packs have a lot of white cards to balance things out more.
In terms of permanent types, here's what I have so far:
Creatures: 101 Instants: 35 Sorcery: 23 Artifact: 11 Enchantment: 15 Nonbasic lands: 10 Planeswalker: 1. Things look pretty good to me, I wouldn't mind more artifacts and sorceries
