Berserk's got quite a reputation, but in a singleton format I feel like Temur Battle Rage might just be a less finicky option nowadays. That being said, I'll pick one of these up now that they're cheaper to test in my peasant cube, since I currently run (and really enjoy) Mutagenic Growth, Invigorate, and Become Immense.
I'm curious how y'all might rank Berserk vs. Mutagenic Growth in 2021.
If I can find room, it would only be for one. I'd really enjoy putting juuuust 1 pump spell in the cube, as everybody would.
Berserk has a higher ceiling.
-Higher chance of winning you the game
-Doubles as terrible-yet-green removal
-Very effective at turning a chump into a trade, or a trade into extra damage to the face
Mutagenic Growth has many more use cases, however, and they come up more often.
-Changing combat math while appearing tapped out to create a 1-for-1
-Saving creatures from toughness-based removal
-More flexible draft pick
I still like berserk because it has so much potential for blowout. It has also come in handy against cards like Condemn and swords to plowshares, especially when running a heavy agro deck.
I use both because Mutagenic Growthis -2 life for +2/+2 and can go into any deck, such as a R/W or R/B Agro
Also if you run this card you should probably also play Rancor

This is still the best place for high-power-level cube chat & debate.
