Since the last post, 53 more cards have been spoiled for Dragons of Tarkir. It’s very clear that there are a lot of cards that will be great for sealed, but that’s not why we are here… We are cube constructors! We make our own set(s) for sealed and drafts! So lets get to it and see if we have any possible new additions for our cubes.

Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit:

So here is another dead character of the alternate timeline of Tarkir. At first I was considering Anafenza for my cube but my cube is big on tokens. However, I still believe that she would be a great card to try out in just about any cube. Why you ask? White Weenie, Flicker, Boros Aggro (meh… she is double white), and Aggro decks alike could get some major use out of this +1/+1 counter generator. Don’t count her out just because she doesn’t recognize tokens that come into play, because she sure as heck doesn’t mind giving them counters later. Anafenza should be considered at the very least or even test played.

Recommended deck(s)/archetype(s):

White Weenie (as mentioned above)

Flicker (also mentioned)

Boros Aggro (possible but meh)

(possible but meh) Aggro (…mentioned as well)

Creature-based decks in general

“I DON’T pity tha fool” Horde:

There isn’t much to say about this guy. If black aggro is your thing, perhaps this guy… Yeah… That’s all I have to say.

Recommended deck(s)/archetype(s):

Aggro (Don’t waste a spot if you aren’t supporting black aggro, otherwise, have at him)

Surrak, Dragon… Feeder? Great Honor? What?:

Looks like Zurgo wasn’t the only “Khan” that got de-“khan”-structed into a lesser role. Oh well, at least Surrak is happy with his role and we get a playable dragon puncher in our cube (wish he had reach so he could actually punch dragons in game play). Just like Pitiless Horde, Surrak kind of falls into the awkward “kinda-playable-if-I-ran-aggro-in-that-color” pile of cards that you’ll soon forget about. Really was hoping that they would give him an EOT fight ability… I still wish they did… It would have gave him epic flavor, if not, flavor of the year.

Recommended deck(s)/archetype(s):

Green Aggro

Well, that was kind of a sad group of possible includes. All three cards were creatures… no spells. I cannot say that any of them are auto includes in my book. I do realize that there has been another Command spoiled but I discussed them as a whole in the last post.
