These are all maybe or higher so that I can reference it later. My power level isn't fully set yet, so there's some variation. Excluded Vivid and Elementals because those are a separate consideration for me. wanderbrine trapper encumbered reejerey rhys, the evermore adept watershaper slumbering...

Probably never? I don't think the elementals deck will be attacking opponents down until later in the game after establishing some control, so the buff seems mid and I feel like spending a card for the ability to ~Evoke cards isn't that good. If I look at the list above, there's not a ton of...

Raise the Reef? Listing all the elementals that are within the realm of my preferred power level for my own reference. I like Risen Reef a lot and some of the new ones are cool, so let's check it out. No Shriekmaw cus it kills titans easily and no Shatter/Naturalize guy cus they kill mana rocks...

This whole idea is more of a thought experiment and analysis than an actual cube... So far, at least. I'd probably do 2x of the actual era cards and fill it out if I did that kind of idea, but there's a ton of ways to take it. I think some decks get cool with new cards. Vesuvan Shapeshifter...

Not a fan of extra rules myself, but everyone having a Wrath, Remand, Bob, Char, and Goyf or something could be a good idea. Lorwyn Eclipsed Spoilers One of the options for capturing the spirit of the format was a mechanical expansion where we use modern cards that serve a similar purpose...

Looked at those lists. Look very similar with some innovations that will be considered for sure. https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/RAVTSPStandard Not how I'd probably do it, but definitely along the same lines and the overview has a lot of the same ideas. Thanks to the few of you who did some...

Probably will be all ten. Just your wheel if there's only five for some reason.

I was so nervous that the GU one would be pushed as hell because WotC loves doing that. Still think a white and/or red one will be fucking trash, ruining the chance to run the whole cycle. This has been bothering me for a while and I think that most of the community misuses the term, so I'm not...

Tribal Flames at home. Same... I'm really liking the hybrid density so far. Interestingly, hybrids can support Vivid as well as monocolor decks. Might be able to make a cube that plays with color a bit. Nice set so far. Passing the vibe check for a change.

Reduced List Added 3 sets of Shocklands Removed all Slivers Removed all rituals Removed all storm spells Removed Perilous Research + Hatching Plans Slashed multicolor cards by ~20x with bias to level colors out a bit and to preserve archetypes Cut a lot of the tutors and other narrow Project X...

Era Appropriate Aggression Something that stands out to me is the tools to hate on aggro: wrath of god faith's fetters loxodon hierarch lightning helix The most iconic sweeper of all time was legal. Fetters "kills" your guy plus undoes an attack or burn spell. Hierarch is practically a 3-for-1...

Slowest Standard deck 2026.

I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna pump my own guys and kill my opponent!!

Cube? I made this thread in cube blogs, but I'm not sure it'll ever be a cube. If it were to be a cube, I want to think about some ways we can do it. Condense the format We have like a 5900 card cube. First, we cut the storm stuff because we know that doesn't work in cube. Then cut some of the...
