And no matter how much we want to dance around the issue, it always seems to stem from our 1-mana dorks. So what do we do about that? Can you cut 1-mana dorks from a Cube without damaging green's playability?

The individual cards are stronger, but the effects have pretty much stayed the same. Let's do a then vs. now comparison of black across Cubes over the last 10 years or so.

At least for now. We return to Tarkir in glorious fashion, revisiting the clans everyone loved in KTK while maintaining that draconic feel of the plane. But how does a 3-color set like this fair for Cube? That's out job to figure out today, at least for Peasant Cubes.
