I just discovered this channel.. dude's videos are great. I'd love to see him back sometime

Yeah, I just found the channel too and I'm just now discovering it's dead. :( Sad.

I often do 5 packs of 9 cards for smaller groups. Works very well. More first picks!

ah nvm, I see its name

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.

Thanks cat! And yeah, I'm with you!

@@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 🙂

hey thanks so much! <3

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?

@@CulticCube good video though!

Ah, that's super interesting. Thanks for the insight into EDH!

That's awesome! Happy cubing!

Ah, I have a video from a while ago now on the topic of running cards pre-flipped! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3KwZ4F3m7merqM

@@CulticCube oh thank you! Sorry but as I said, I discovered you just recently; I'm gonna watch the video right now! Anyway, I hope my suggestion made sense for you

Hi! Yes, Eleusis is my main cube that has been evolving since 2011! The cubes that I am actively maintaining at the moment at Eleusis (vintage unpowered), Petty Nobility (masters), and Cartographia (lands-focused). "The Cultic Cube" is a version of Eleusis that ran on MTGO in 2020, and Cartographia was just up on MTGO in Oct. 2022. But to answer your question, yes, I run 2x fetches in Eleusis, Cultic, and Cartographia. I'm a huge fan! I want to reduce the times that color screw makes for non-games. Magic has plenty variance baked in already! Also, fetches are awesome and do a great deal -- shuffle, bin themselves, trigger 2x landfall, trigger revolt, aid delirium, etc.

@@CulticCube Thank you for your quick response! You lit the spark of cube on me again, and I wanna make an "Eleusis" one for myself :) Although it is against the rules, multiple copies of fetches is actually a brilliant idea: these are not replaceable cards, too valuable and making x2 it means more consistency of picking them. Plus, you get a better feeling of what it is playing legacy xD I think I posses just a third of your cube (been missing the latest years of magic) but at least I have the duals :p I will stay updated with your videos, and updates about the cube. Thank you!

Yay, awesome! Drop a link to the environment?
