Maybe Wild Mongrel isn't the best example. But being able to discard lands at no cost means you are keeping your business spells in hand. Faithless Looting + Frantic Search ramps you by one and makes the discarding that much easier. Lightning Axe and Molten Vortex now come with a Rampant...

Shark dude looks absolutely cracked. You must be desperate to consider a power outlier like this. Triggering multiple times a turn means going Wild Mongrel -> Goramou discard two lands ramps you to 6 mana on turn 4 if you hit a land drop. Also nice for Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald or The Lost...

Some of my cube's most defining cards are from MH3, most notably the pitch elementals (minus Endurance who messes with GYs too easily for my tastes). It took a while, but I decided to cut most of the threats from that set as they are just so much value and/or power that they take over a game...

Not sure that I'll be adding anything from this set, which might be a first. There are a few candidates, but they aren't that unique or important enough that I think they will stay. Here are the closest ones: Antagonist Incorporator Stratagem Emulator These two are solid role players that are...

So I didn't know these existed and they look fantastic. My issue with them is the full art frame. I've noticed that such flashy art paired with the frame breaks drowns out the actual creatures who I want to shine. Luckily the new Star Trek set has a great cycle for this cube's fixing lands...

By risk / reward, do you mean sticking an aura or something onto it? Because I agree for auras, but if this gets blown up in response to a +1/+1 counter or an equipment activation, I will be happy with my 2 1/1s. It's also quite good with stuff like Arcbound Ravager, Steel Overseer, KCI...

I really enjoy Nested Shambler and other power matter cards because they can work with a lot of effects. Auras, Equipment, +1/+1 counters and pump spells for example all shine alongside them. The 3 mana 2/1 rate on this one isn't impressive, but getting 2 artifacts when it dies is quite strong...

Maybe I misunderstood the idea, but there is the Riptide classic Demonic Pact Can be interacted with and takes a bit of time to win. Similar vein Faithbound Judge On an other note Hidetsugu Consumes All If you can grow the backside with an Arcane Teaching or whatever, then you can ping...

Thinking about the cube more and seeing how much I am struggling to get a good set of 320 cards, I decided to try another approach. How about a 4 player cube, no deckbuilding and cutting Red. Current list A 4 player cube (160 cards - 92 nonlands and 68 lands) would allow me to actively curate...

Draft risk I've added some cheap Baneslayers to the cube as alternative value engines that can be deployed early and draw you into late game engines, or be stand alone value threats for more tempo oriented decks. Bilbo, Thief in the Night Dark Confidant Basim Ibn Ishaq These cards have great...

Glad you liked it as much as I did. Black I am not convinced, but Red? At least close in regards to GY/Discard strategies (+ Practiced Offense) Greasewrench Goblin Marauding Mako Inti, Seneschal of the Sun Ivora, Instatiable Heir Gau, Feral Youth Showdown of the Skalds I like Amalgam least...

Artifacts made me think of this little guy for combat centered aristocrats Ravenous Squirrel

Untap synergies I'm stealing ideas from KlavierAchse right now. They recently updated there cube with Traxos, Scourge of Kroog and it made me think of a the newer version I hadn't considered until now. I've been meaning to increase the untap combo potential and this one seems like a beast...

I meant it more in the sense that it's not a card you would consider in your cube if you didn't have Yedora. On its own it's perfectly good as you say!

I don't have a ton of good options for Yedora, but it is a trippy card. The classic is Life and Limb, maybe that has game in a cube so heavily focused on lands? There is this one if you want a better rate morph Nervous Gardner And as for combo potential, these two can work Hauntwoods...
