Elvish Piper and Quicksilver Amulet are also possible choices.

Also, I really like Djinn of Wishes. If you can set up an Emrakul (or whatever) off a Brainstorm/Jace/Ponder etc. it can be really cool. I saw it done in Standard a couple years back.

Problem with this stuff in Cube is that it's a lot harder to make sure your opponent doesn't have something equally insane. Or something like an angel of desolation or O-Ring.

Shouldn't this be a MCD thread?

Yes, I agree. Moved.

I tend to lean towards the one-sided sneakers (like Natural Order, Elvish Piper and Quicksilver Amulet).
I had Show and Tell in my cube for a long time, and no-one was ever brave enough to play it. There's just no telling what's going to appear on the other side of the board (especially in multiplayer, where this type of effect is worse).
That said, if you do go down this route, Braids, Conjurer Adept is yet another option.

Show and Tell and Eureka are a blast. Id recommend them for any cube.

Not so huge of a fan of Blue Braids, since often she ends up ONLY helping your opponent.

Lure of prey sounds really cool though. Interesting find.

I once thought about including more cards like these, too. However, if you really want to support this kind of deck, you need several of these effects and not only two or three cards in the whole cube, because that would make drafting a successful deck of this type too risky. I then realized that I'd rather add more normal ramp cards (like Cultivate, Farseek, Thran Dynamo or Gilded Lotus) to support fatty decks instead of trying to cram half a dozen cheaty cards into my cube.

They certainly have been fun. Eureka is one of the craziest cards in the cube. Insane plays and really fun stories always show up.

The strategies aren't mutually exclusive. It's nice to pack Eureka into Natural Order decks, and Show and Tell into Tinker decks. And both into each others' decks, and both into reanimation decks. Or playing them as alternative ways to ramp cards into play too.

Thoughtseize into Show and Tell or Eureka can be a complete blowout. Eureka is worth it just for the crazy things that can happen. Its not always about winning, these cards are just fun.

I recently ordered a copy of eureka. I don't know if it's a "good card" in the sense that ancestral recall or lightning bolt is a good card, but I can't wait to see the ridiculous and broken things that happen. This is why I cube!
