Yesterday I wrote about Traveler’s Amulet in my Alles-2 Cube (my reduction emblem Cube). I forgot to mention one of my favourite cards to combine Traveler’s Amulet with (on purpose), and that is you. Having a 3/2 flyer that fetches up a basic land (essentially, but we know the Traveler’s Amulet is so much more than that) is already really cool. But also you offer so much more.
You have the potential to be a toolbox in a Cube. There is a reason why Cube designers and players love narrow tutors (LuckyPaperRadio made a very good episode about this). Drafting a little toolbox around a narrow tutor is such a fun experience. It adds this layer of complexity to your draft, and you get rewarded with these very fun (and complex) play patterns during the games. Which I love both as a designer and player.
You can (essentially) fetch up a basic land. But you can also draw a card with something like Ichor Wellspring. You can draw a card and make a lethal attacker unblockable with Sleeper Dart. You can control a board state with a card like Siren Song Lyre. You are a removal spell with Pyrite Spellbomb. You straight up make a mana with Springleaf Drum. But the best thing you do, in my experience, is trigger Fae Offering all by yourself. I did this at my last Cube Invitational against my friend, and eventual winner of that Invitational, Tristan. And the best thing was, I did it each and every turn with the help of First Responder. It was so much fun, I loved it.
With love,
Hanjo
