So with those sentiments in mind, if I wanted to build an unpowered cube for power reasons, i.e. I want an environment that's fast and robust but not degenerate, what are the cards I should consider as over powered?
So I was reading the comments in another thread when a poster mentioned Sol Ring being in a cube but not the power 9 and how it was silly to call the cube unpowered. I've played for a long time, and know that their are lots of cards that are ubiquitous in various formats, but for a cube, what are the bright line cards, if there are any, that make it powered or not in your mind? In other words, if the cube is supposed to have been culled from a large collection, but remain unpowered, what do you expect to NOT be there? Does Mana Crypt or Mana Vault rise to that level? Mind Twist?
