Bots think Piper's Melody is the best card, so you're probably fine. The newer cards do have better stats and sometimes have so much going on that I find it hard to think they're not at least slightly better on rate. Then again, does it really matter? They're weird, and something has to be best?

A couple, mostly in their limited format: Farsight, Whipstitch. Xantid Swarm in constructed sideboard. Wrong bear, but I've played my Grizzly boys enough. My pick here would probably be Farsight as a 3/3 for 3, or Mirozel as a hard to kill flyer? Dunno.

Carnage Interpreter, probably.

Same

Voted for Swords because it's so efficient and flexible. The next cards are probably Embercleave and Chariot.

I'm on green Curse. I have no idea if it's still the bomb it used to be, but it can get out of hand fast.

I enjoy typal cubes a lot. Used to own one, but took it apart and ever want to rebuild it. So I like looking at other lists.
You run some cool cards and seem to have found a good balance between typal and other cool stuff

Looks cool!

Do you have a link to your cube?

Cube Cobra List: The Peasant Travel Cube >>> # the Peasant Travel Cube <<< <<[[!Rancor|abd96a99-c3a0-4923-80a1-51d26fc8bb91]][[!Marionette Apprentice]][[!Mischievous Mystic]][[!Palace Jailer]]>> --- >>> Welcome to the Peasant Travel Cube! <<...

We had a blast though. I hope I'll have more time in 2026 to actually play the cube and test some stuff out.

Here's the list for reference: cubecobra.com/cube/list/pe...

(Note that at 385, it's hardly a 'travel' cube anymore, so I'll prob change the name and build an actual travel cube again)

Green cont.
I'll keep tinkering with green to see if there's a direction I like enough. It's not that green cards are bad, it's just that there's a lot of 'solid' going around that has a hard time going up against 1 mana removal and more powerful individual cards and synergies from other colors.

24.12.2025 10:55 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Green still hangs a little behind the power curve. It has less direction than the other colors and less cards/strategies that make people commit. Feedback after the draft was that people noticed that green was somewhat open but felt few incentive to go in.

24.12.2025 10:50 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Overall takeaways are that the balance is actually pretty good in the cube after I expanded the travel peasant #mtgcube to 385. Feedback after the draft was that it was challenging and fun and the gameplay was mostly close and felt powerful.

Losing team: RU aggro/tempo and 4c value/persist midrange went 2-1. Both are decks I'm very happy about seeing. The UW aggressive had a lot of resilient cards and game against all opponents, but in the end the lack of focus (and removal) made it go 0-3.

Winning team: UWb blink carried (3-0) as a very good board control deck. Bonus points for playing Aether Vial. Both the GBu ramp deck and UBG reanimate deck went 1-2 with some solid explosive draws but not enough resilience.

We also teamdrafted my peasant #mtgcube, again going to the ninth match to decide 5-4.

We did a teamdraft of my old frame peasant (+rare lands) yesterday.

Decks were fun, competitive, and everything felt quite balanced with all decks going 2-1 or 1-2 and few blowout games.

The winning team:
RB aggro 2-1, WRu aggro 2-1, BRu control 1-2

Aha. Well I don't have MTGO so I wasn't planning anything, just cool to watch!

06.12.2025 17:51 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Will watch! I had no idea it was on MTGO at this moment. Awesome.

Cake Trail Egg for me as well.

Time Spiral is basically a cube as is with the amount of different stuff going on. Imagine peppering it with some outside cards it should be a banger.

03.12.2025 18:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I'll take Figure, hoping to maybe wheel Koth or a small white card. The other cards I was considering are Wrath and Steam Vents.

Wildfire please.

21.11.2025 19:34 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I'm a bit tired atm. Gimme Chain Lightning, I'll wheel either the monk or the Fireblast.

21.11.2025 19:27 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I love Parallax Wave. It's probably not the absolute best card the pack though.

21.11.2025 19:25 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

That's what I assumed. It's also a fun card to play with. I love landcyclers and this one is so nostalgic as well

20.11.2025 04:44 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I picked Eternal Dragon because I know it will be good and I can't really gauge how good the rest is. I briefly considered taking the Karoo.

20.11.2025 04:00 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Without knowing the list, I already love it
