Reanimation? zombify emerge from the cocoon storm of souls Reanimating could give some interaction between Eldrazi and Orzhov colors. What mana value seems ok for you guys to face down Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger in a format where the removal is all designed to be a bit weak to big creatures?

Speaking of "not good enough for cube," ;) azorius chancery Give me your best bounceland synergies. Right now I'm looking at returning MDFCs to "draw" a spell and, obviously, it's worth an extra land. Anything else cool about them? EDIT: Untappers.

I feel like it's probably worth it because netting an extra mana when trying to get to 10 is pretty valuable, but I'm hesitant to build my blue section around it unless I feel good about blue artifacts. I tend to go into blue artifacts too heavy handed. After more thought, This seems the most...

archway of innovation I seem to recall that this did poorly in retail. Do we think it could push some sort of artifact Eldrazi deck? It gets searched by all the Coffers and Nykthos stuff. Maybe 2-3 copies of it?

I'm probably gonna end up running uneven cycles so that slower pairs will have access to bounces. Probably Mardu bounces won't be in there or something. Maybe I'll run a few Guildless Commons instead because the slower decks are more likely to want C. I'll also have MDFC lands in multiples...

I really like the Channel lands because they're basically single faced MDFCs that don't add effects to the board.

Fetches Vivid Converge Domain Landfall Descend (Doesn't count tokens. Not super obvious.) Revolt Void Morbid Spawns/Scions I used to run this spectrum of effects that work in varying degrees between sacrificing fetches and sacrificing Eldrazi tokens. Morbid type effects are automatic with...

Could toss reminder text on the proxy if it's a concern.

, then shuffle. White can't grab a Forest. The name feels like a joke. Even if cleavoke is kind of a joke, it's actually working fine for me because it rhymes and familiar players will understand it immediately. There's only 8 white creatures that inherently have reach. 5 are from the 1990s...

Indris is really cool and is a card that utilizes the digital only space well. Sigardian Evangel kinda has Replicate 1W. I forgot about the rebalances, but I like a lot of them. What's your beef with Pearl Collector?

Another problem is that some of the Alchemy cards have no high quality art anywhere online to make a proxy with.

I'm not totally against retooling some of the cards a little to have basically the same effect. If a card wants you to draft from a spellbook, for example, take a look at how good the spellbook is and turn it into a draw or an impulse draw. Power level can remain similar while being much more...

While this is an easy catch-all answer, drafters would be expecting green to do green things. From there, land and ramp gets a bit stronger and it's possible that attempts to bolster the other colors actually help green more. Sure, you can make your cube do most anything, but it can definitely...

Works with Spawns/Scions for a draw or lets you trash a big Eldrazi for life. Can slowly gain a ton of life by saccing a 10/10 onto a 1/1 or whatever, then sac the 11/11 onto another 1/1 for a 12/12...

Nongreen Eldrazi? Green is the color of ramp, lands, and big creatures. Even with ramp moved primarily to colorless via Talismans and other rocks, green still has land and creature synergies that favor it as the primary Eldrazi color. traverse the ulvenwald monstrous emergence ramunap excavator...
