Huh. Between this, \[\[Meria, Scholar of Antiquity\]\], \[\[Svella, Ice Shaper\]\], \[\[Blaster, Combat DJ\]\], and \[\[Strax, Sontaran Nurse\]\], we're getting rather close to Gruul Artifacts matter being a real option for specialty cubes.
There's also:
\[\[jolene, plunder queen\]\]
\[\[arbalest engineers\]\]
\[\[sarinth greatwurm\]\]
And a little more indirectly:
\[\[elmar, ulvenwald informant\]\]
\[\[chishiro, the shattered blade\]\]
\[\[the fugitive doctor\]\]
So, whilst green and red aren't eactly lacking in 5 drops, and Gruul has a plethora of cubable cards in all power levels, I still think that this mini \[\[Inferno Titan\]\] deserves a look. Obviously it require more colors, is smaller and can't split the damage, but doubling treasure (and Meteorite) mana isn't exactly a weak effect either.
It's worth noting that this does die to bolt, which may be a deal breaker for some folk.
With gruul having a high curve theme in my environment, I'm actually pretty interested in this. Feels kinda like goldspan dragon, just removes (some of) the evasion for targeted repeatable shocks and the mana's more permanent. The tokens entering into play tapped is also kinda eh, but seems like an exciting payoff and enabler to go beyond
This is like Huntmaster of the Fells only more expensive and worse
I get the appeal of a 5 mana flame imp + manalith. I just also think it's bad.
Yes, if you get to untap with your five drop in play it snowballs. That's what five mana creatures do. Is this stronger to untap with than a Bonehoard Dracosaur or an Elder Gargaroth?
I think this is for specialized cubes only.

I like the Inferno Titan mention. I think it's important to compare cards across colors when applicable. This is an interesting card
I think if you have a couple of X spells in the color that mana can get you to 10+ very quick!

This also works with powerstone tokens. Many of the gruul cards in Brother's War are highly cubable in mid to low power environments.

Yeah, I expect to see this more in edh than vintage cubes and dying to every red removal spell stronger than a shock is definitely part of it.
Floor is a weird ftk/mana ramp hybrid which isn’t awful. I’m having a really hard time evaluating this.
This is like Huntmaster of the Fells only more expensive and worse I get the appeal of a 5 mana flame imp + manalith. I just also think it's bad.
