Common themes include: Aggro thats real : low curves, sticky threats, burn/reach, disruptive creatures Tempo : cheap interaction, evasive threats, protecting a lead Midrange value : two-for-ones, planeswalkers, ETB creatures, grind plans Control : sweepers, card draw, removal suites, win conditions that stabilize Synergy decks (but still interactive): +1/+1 counters / tokens graveyard value (not always full reanimator) spells-matter artifacts (more value engine than Tinker you) The big difference vs Vintage is that Modern cubes generally have more games decided in combat , and fewer games decided by did you draw the broken accelerant. Who this category is for Pick a Modern MTG cube if: You want lower variance and fewer non-games
+2/+2 for legendary creatures is a ton of boost and a definite wincon, and we already have Orzhov decks that play Lyra Dawnbringer and Vona, Butcher of Magan that would benefit
Since she brings the Grixis colors to the table as well as an instant/sorcery matters slate of themes, Kess is strong as she has access to the colors of removal, counters, burn, bounce, and card drawing
Note that she triggers when you have a creature arrive to the battlefield, not cast
