Just when I thought we had a staple for 3rd slot in Golgari. Dang. She's awesome.
Seems pretty good. And by good, I mean...wow. Especially with green ramp being able to pump this out before turn 5...wow. Short of Dreadbore or Pulse, how do you kill this thing without getting 3-for-1'd (or worse)? Starting with 6 loyalty before your opponent can respond puts it out of range for any one burn spell.
Is it weird that I'm trying to dream of scenarios involving a wrath followed by making an assassin tokens equipped with Lightning Greaves? For Cubes that do achievements, winning with one of these tokens will definitely be one of them.
RTR may go down as one of the greatest sets ever for Cube. I run 500 cards & I think there may already be 6 staples for my Cube...and most if not all of these will go in 360 Cubes.
Its weird.. no triggers on people attacking you pw's until RTR and they do it twice in the same block. I like the mini-theme the walkers have.

i hate the high res art, but on card it looks great.
Im going to include it because in limited it wins you the game no matter what, in cube it almost does that.
I want like a dozen of her, to put in every deck I build forever. As a lover of BG midrange, she has quite quickly become my favorite walker of all time. Cannot wait to cube with her.
This walker is a HOUSE in limited!! I imagine many a game where I just play her into a board where i've got the advantage and just start forcing the issue. she's a damned if you do, even more damned if you don't type of walker and i LOVE IT!
As more and more absurd cards get printed with RTR, it seems like we are now going to have to start making more decisions based on a fun/balanced environment when designing cube, rather than raw power.
In terms of raw power she is completly bonkers, but there are so many good 4-5 mana cards that all kind of do a similar thing.
(take over the game unless answered... Although maybe not at this power level)
We need cards that do things at all mana costs, and 5 mana is a lot for a tight cube (you dont need THAT many 5 drops).
Personally prefer the zombie troll because his effect is more unique, but in power level vraska is stronger pound for pound.
Im just going to run 4 golgari so I dont have to sweat the decision of what to cut.
Obviously this is an auto-include, right? The question is, for smaller guilds like mine (3 cards each), would it be sacrilegious to swap out Maelstrom Pulse for this in order to keep the more unique Lothlet Troll?
People are certainly going to have to choose their gold-cards based on personal preference rather than just power. Some gold cards have great utility, and some have great power. Some have both. Do you choose to run Putrefy/Maelstrom Pulse/Pernicious Deed in B/G, or powerful walkers and creatures? It's an interesting choice.

i think pulse is the best card in the guild, but you should make the decision based on what works for your group. direct walker removal is really important in my cube so i wouldn't cut pulse myself. if you don't find yourself wanting more answers to planeswalkers in your drafts and you don't think your group would miss pulse, do it.
regardless you can always reverse the swap if it doesn't work out.
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.
Wow, I don't think I've ever seen so many of us agreeing on one card. I am super excited for this. I don't even know what I'm going to do with this set...

Nasty.
Yep this is an auto add to cube. Pretty much auto-include at 450+. Probably even at 360.

She oozes flavor, form, function and power. Complete home run. Insta-include.
Probably the pose and her CMC.
But ability wise she's like Gideon with the whole Justice League backing her up.

Regardless, she's too awesome. I just don't know what to cut. Might just run four cards in G/B now.
