There are some sick cards in Planeschase that could be cube-worthy. What do you guys think of:Maelstrom Wanderer
Baleful Strix
Illusory Angel
Etherium-Horn Sorcerer
Shardless Agent

baleful strix. That's it. The two cascade cards are in the wrong colours for me to want them. The Shardless agent would only be good if you don't really run counter spells in your cube, same with the UR guy.

The Angel seems way awesome in a draft type format, no? Especially in like a cube without rares.

Baleful Strix comes in and replaces Moroi for me (which had replaced Dimir Guildmage recently) and Etherium-Horn Sorcerer comes in to replace Nucklavee. Etherium-Horn isn't super good but U/R is one of the weakest gold colors in cube. The other cascade guy is in the wrong colors and is too cheap to be worth it. I worry about cascading into counterspells or other blue spells that I can't use, plus it's too cheap to hit a lot of good stuff like Bribery, Treachery, FoF, etc.

Interesting article, it actually does make some pretty good points about testing with him. I'll probably try the agent sometime down the road as I can try replacing either Lorescale Coatl or Cold-Eyed Selkie in my cube with it, however my main deterrent at the moment is that it's $8 and I just spent a bunch updating my cube from the last few sets. Thanks for sharing the article : - )

NP, I'd cut Coatl for him, yes Coatle can get really big really fast, but he has no evasion. __________________

Possibley, but alot of cubes don't contain clone, some don't even play vesuvan shapeshifter anymore. I like Shapeshifter more than this guy. __________________
