SET Snapshots

With each new standard set comes plenty of options to include in your various Cubelets.

​Each set snapshot will briefly highlight cards you could include in a Legacy Cubelet. Please make the assumption that any commons/uncommons mentioned would be good for a Pauper/Peasant Cubelet.

Modal Double-Faced Cards (DFC): Cubelet is no stranger to this idea as basically every card in the cubelet flips over to a land that can be any color of mana. Because of this, if a DFC card is mentioned in this set review, it based solely on the spell side of the card.

Party: A neat mechanic and could easily be the foundation for a cubelet. So many great cards available from the history of Magic and this set creates payoffs if you choose to build your cubelet to party.

Canyon Jerboa
You will only get one landfall activation a turn, so it isn't overpowered. It rewards consistent land drops and can help close a game.

​Luminarch Aspirant
Being able to help get a creature out of Slagstorm range or other damage based can be powerful and if this card lives for a few turns, you get some great value.

Maul of the Skyclaves
Very powerful, but if your cubelet is tuned to be able to remove artifacts from the board, you could look at making this an exceptional inclusion.

Nahiri's Binding
Interesting option as you can attach it to a planeswalker to render them useless.

Inscription of Insight
Any one of the options is fair for the four mana it takes to cast. If you have the additional four mana to kick this spell, then you should be rightfully rewarded.

Jace, Mirror Mage
This is a great addition to a cubelet. Scry is a very powerful in cubelet, and you will likely become the target until Jace is removed, but you do not win the game outright because of Jace. 

Feed the Swarm
Target removal for enchantment is something to consider for a pauper or peasant cubelet.

Inscription of Ruin
Mind Rot effects are a little feel bad, but each of the options are fair and being able to do all of them when this inscription is kicked seems pretty awesome.

Mind Carver
Dangerous with the shared graveyard, but if the cubelet is designed to handle powerful artifacts, then this seems fun.

Nighthawk Scavenger
Vampire Nighthawk is already a very playable card in cubelet, so the question you need to ask is, "Do I want to go bigger?"

Scourge of the Skyclaves
Casting this with kicker is going to be an absolute beating, but with no evasion, this card could be an interesting option.

Skyclave Shade
Another one of those, "this is funny because we share the graveyard" kind of options. You don't need to many of those in your cubelet, but it is an option.

Taborax, Hope's Demise
Being just a 2/2 is not an immediate threat, however, things can get out of hand if not watched.

Kargan Intimidator
A very interesting card with different options. Worth trying out in a cubelet.

Relic Robber
Could create for a very silly politics.

Valukut Exploration
A particularly powerful enchantment that if have not designed your cubelet to handle, this will give the person who owns this a tremendous amount of advantage, even if only able to trigger landfall at most once per turn.

Wayward Beast
If you play with the belief that the cards you decide to be lands are lands for the rest of the game, this isn't worth it. If you play a little more of a broken game where you are able to manipulate your lands, then this is an exceptional addition.

Broken Wings
An upgrade or flexible option for a pauper or peasant cube.

Inscription of Abundance
Just like the other inscriptions, each of these options are fine and a nice reward if you can cast it with kicker.

Spare Supplies
A neat card to help add to delirium while being only an okay artifact.
