I think this is either the 3rd or 4th best card in the cycle (after Ajani and Tamiyo), maybe after Sorin.
It's definitely more interesting than what what green is typically doing at 1 mana,
but not sure it is worth testing at 360. I will probably just watch instead.
What more can you want for 1 mana?
Not quite the blue Ragavan, but I think it is pretty close.
This is clearly the best 1 cmc blue creature for cube and I think Ajani and this are clearly the 2 best out of the flip cycle.
Will play at 360 for sure.
This card is definitely good but I think City of Traitors might be slightly better since you get at least 2 2 mana activations out of it, and you don't need to board out City of Traitors on the play. Ancient Tomb is clearly on a whole other tier.
All these fast lands have definitely gained value with all the 3-4 mana bangers that have come out the last couple years.
I think this might actually be slightly better than Shadowspear in Saga deck because:
1. It can give the summoning sick Karnstruct haste, which is a huge beating - get to swing with 2 large Karnstructs immediately rather than 1
2. Being 1 to equip rather than 2 is a big difference - means greater probability of immediately being able to equip after fetching with Saga.
Will play it as white since it's good enough without red cards.
It's a little off topic, but I do think Mox Amber is viable in small cubes (360).
Zero mana artifacts are just at a premium because of 1) Urza's Saga, 2) Gut / Bombadiers, 3) Cube has gotten faster, 4) Artifact deck with Emry etc.
I think I have enough legendary hits at 360, will test it, see if sticks.
I think the Dimir one (Undercity Sewers) is a tier above all the rest, because fetchable surveil is much stronger in Reanimator and blue can also stack the deck in response to the trigger, e.g. with Brainstorm. In Dimir I think it's actually competitive with something like Creeping Tar Pit.
The other colors are a lot worse, probably the Rakdos one is second best for Sneak & Reanimator, but it seems a a good amount worse than Dimir one.
It's cool, not sure if it's great though.
My worst Rakdos card is Molten Collapse - not sure if I should cut that to test this.
Will probably just watch, wait and see how the reviews turn out.
I actually like this a lot ... I think it's very likely you'll be able to draw 2 discard 1 in a proper blue deck, which is mostly spells. Also, perhaps a majority of blue creatures have flying.
I personally think this might be better than Mulldrifter and pretty comparable to Aether Channeler - less versatile for sure, but a much better body and draw 2 discard 1 is a lot better than draw 1, which is frequently the best mode for Channeler.
I much prefer this to Champion of Wits, which I don't think is particularly close.
For me at 360 it's on the bubble ... will probably watch but if it gets some good reviews will test.
At 360, I will probably watch rather than test, but I could see this one outperforming.

Will pass at 360.

OG is not on the bubble for me - earned his place - the rest are.
Gut, True Soul Zealot vs. Legion Warboss vs. Broadside Bombardiers vs. Squee, Dubious Monarch vs Death-Greeter's Champion
