New epic, a new cube!

Other relevant interaction seems to be that if its battlecry is doubled/tripled, it will summon that many copies at the turn ends.

I donā€™t think so because of where the period is.

Itā€™s weird when you put a continuous activity on a battlecry, which is normally a one-and-done kinda thing xD

But battlecry is battlecry, ofc itā€™s gonna get procā€™d 3x with shudder, 2x with brann

Lol it makes no sense consistency wise.

Yeah, mechanically the battlecry likely triggers 3x, killing and recording the minion as a buff 3x. Since itā€™s an instantaneous triple trigger, the target doesnā€™t die until all 3 have munched on it.

Then the end of turn triggers to summon whatā€™s recorded, which has 3 things on it.

Thatā€™s my guess as to how itā€™s working under the hood.

So what minions would be good to use this on. Oh wait i can think of one right now.

You could also just create the most obnoxious Druid or Rogue deck in standard with .

Maybe even brings The Egg DK back into the meta. That deck had potential but was missing some pieces. This is going to be fun.

On reska, sureā€¦ But DK already has both death growl AND yodeler, both of which are better with Reska, and both not used.

For greybough, ehā€¦ Again, druid kind of just has better things to do here. They could run him with hydration station, and thatā€™s probably just better.

And rogue REALLY doesnā€™t struggle with reusing cards for much cheaper than cube.

Like I was saying earlierā€¦ The classes you would be excited for cube for already have better options.

why ?which cards are you comparing it to?

Iā€™m assuming the entire card effect happens regardless of whether the Cube is in play at the end of the turn. Itā€™s a way to protect a minion and remove a board simultaneously. In that case the Mech warrior probably gets the most mileage from the card. Probably a new deck using Brann or to multiply the effect. Even without Brann it could work. Especially since you are going to be using Zilliax in that deck for sure.

Doubtful. If you look at the tweet Smeet linked above you can see the Cube has the aura ā€œlightning boltā€ icon. Also, no ā€œfor the rest of the gameā€ text.

I am fairly certain no Cube, no summon.

You can see the lightning bolt on cube in the image. It requires cube to live to do it as that part of the effect is tied to the cube.

Not that I expect cube to die in between the eating and spawningā€¦

Unless you run into an explosive runes, then you just ate your minion for nothing.

Well then this is a dead card basically waiting for rotation to see play.

Agree with ya smeet in this post, also rogue has a way to duplicate drilly for the same cost in that 5 mana mech or heck cover artist would work same for reska cover artist is better in a way

He looks like heā€™s tired of being used by warlock

Its not really efficient or consistent, but im amused at the idea of taking a minion from the opponent with the Griftah spell and then cubing it to make it yours

Now this does sound fun.

Its not really like this, but it reminds me of this card for some reason.

I used to be obsessed with trying to make this card good as a removal option and i really dont know why i was so attached to it

What if you cube a minion, death growl amalgam onto it?

Cube goes in deck on death but everytime you play it again it remembers all the minions you ate with it so it summons them all at end of turn?

Hmmmmmmmm

Because it remembered based on the battlecry i dont think the shuffle will remember the old minion and/or the new battlecry will overwrite it. infinite cube value could still be fun regardless

I did want to tell you since you love amalgam i was trying to cook up an amalgam deck where you pop off with

Legendary Ā· Minion Ā· Whizbang

The idea hit me after i got off a 32 dmg goldbeard/ banana split (from Eudora) combo last night. It made me think how crazy a cycle deck where you make 1 beefy amalgam and copy it with goldbeard could be. You would just run 1 amalgam so it gets all the buffs and then pop off with goldbeard and draw when you draw out your deck or have tutors available
