A little later than I planned on this albums post, had to get back into the groove after vacation. This gives a pretty good distillation of my taste: Modern Critically Acclaimed Albums, Indie Pop from ~2010, Rap from ~2020, and a Noisy, Emo-adjacent rock. Let me know if you love anything here!

I don't think anyone is more important to rock history than Ozzy. The myth. The persona. For millions, when you think 'Rock' you think Ozzy Osbourne. And we're damn fortunate he made some of the best albums of all TIME to this day I'm not sure I've ever heard a better three album stretch

Don't worry - control can still win here! While it certainly isn't the dominant strategy, control decks are an important part of a healthy metagame.

Serrated Arrows
{4}
Artifact

Serrated Arrows enters with three arrowhead counters on it.

At the beginning of your upkeep, if there are no arrowhead counters on Serrated Arrows, sacrifice it.

{T}, Remove an arrowhead counter from Serrated Arrows: Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature.

Dinrova Horror
{4}{U}{B}
Creature — Horror

When Dinrova Horror enters, return target permanent to its owner’s hand, then that player discards a card.

“Welcome to the Dimir Public Offices. Not responsible for death or loss of property. Basement off-limits.”
—Sign outside Dinrova Building

4/4

Late to Dinner
{3}{W}
Sorcery

Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. Create a Food token. (It’s an artifact with “{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life.”)

“I knew you were set in your ways, friend, but even I didn’t expect you to keep our engagement, under the circumstances.”

Fade Away
{2}{U}
Sorcery

For each creature, its controller sacrifices a permanent unless they pay {1}.

“Consider the fable of the greedy herder. As her flock grew, so did her weariness; she slept, and the sheep wandered off.”
—Karn, silver golem

Nick LaPoint (necroid) @lapointnick.bsky.social · 11/11/2024

Some standout cards! I wouldn't necessarily call these the best in the cube but I think they signal what might be better hero than other environments.

Blightning deals 3 damage to target player or planeswalker. That player or that planeswalker’s controller discards two cards.

Experiment One
{G}
Creature — Human Ooze

Evolve (Whenever a creature you control enters, if that creature has greater power or toughness than this creature, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.)

Remove two +1/+1 counters from Experiment One: Regenerate Experiment One. (The next time this creature would be destroyed, instead tap it, remove it from combat, and heal all damage on it.)

Spellstutter Sprite
{1}{U}
Creature — Faerie Wizard

Flash

Flying

When Spellstutter Sprite enters, counter target spell with mana value X or less, where X is the number of Faeries you control.

1/1

Ramosian Rally
{3}{W}
Instant

If you control a Plains, you may tap an untapped creature you control rather than pay this spell’s mana cost.

Creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn.
