One mana red interaction. I secretly think Fateful End in my Alles-2 Cube should be my pick, but that card already has a love letter plus being in a cost reduction context doesn’t fit this series. I checked my 19 Cubes for the red interaction for one mana. Most of them are burnspells, and I do love burnspells. I love how flexible burnspells are. How they can either temporise the game by going face, or temporise the game by removing a blocker, or temporise the game by slowing it down by removing an attacker. They do so much more than a Terror. And yet, between a great selection of burnspell I could choose from, I choose you.
I absolutely adore the Lesson Learn mechanic. Wishes are notoriously bad in Cube. If you like a card so much, it should be in your maindeck. I did love the Wishes in constructed back in the day. And thanks to my 2006 Extended Gauntlet I still do. But the Lesson Learn are perfect for Cube. The first Lesson cycle was so bad, they never made your maindeck. But halfway through a pack, if you had a couple of Learn cards, picking up a couple of good Lessons for your sideboard becomes very important. Plus a Wish doesn’t do anything on its own, a Learn card does.
You are in my Masters #5 that I’ve built in 2022, when only the bad Lessons existed. I absolutely loved playing with you in that Cube. A one mana removal spell that fetches up a card from the sideboard? Yes please. A one mana removal spell with a rummage attached to it for my Madness cards? Yes please. Such fun and awesome game play experience. Such fun and deep drafting experience. With the release of Avatar in 2025 the world was introduced to good Lessons, and Learn cards found their way to other formats. And the good Lessons have found their way into Masters #5 aswell. And they will find their way into this Cube too, because I just need to make you good here too. You are just that much fun.
With love,
Hanjo
