Thanks guys. I think I'll switch to Cosmogrand Zenith because it has a few advantages: - Only 1 pip of coloured mana - Bleeds more openly into other archetypes (+1/+1 counters, spells) - Is both a go-wide enabler and payoff. - The decision to attack with its 2/4 body, pump it with counters or...

It's what I feared, then. I just like the concept of the card, I just wish there was something like it that was more conductive to good gameplay.

Cosmogrand Zenith vs Adeline, Resplendent Cathar Note that I already run Monastery Mentor.

Is Library of Alexandria ever tutored or played in a synergestic way? Or is it just raw, opening-hand power? Library of Alexandria

I did try with 2500 draftrs, but it doesn't lead to better data since it runs into limitations with duplication and clustering. The data is pretty much identical to 500, it's just repeated more times. It's also hard to adjust it to a reasonable level. If sorting by colour, rather than just...

So far it seems fairly accurate. Sure, the decks are a bit off; they'll build Reanimator decks without enough discard outlets and not enough targets, but if you look at them as a whole rather than deck-by-deck, the average seems pretty close. I do wish I could select two different groups and...

Wow, that's an interesting tool! I decided to run more drafts (500) and got this shape which looks like a flat icosahedron or dodecahedron drawn into a two dimensional plane. I'm not the best at disentangling this kind of information but I can draw some positive conclusions. For starters, the...

Bone Shards. Let's be honest, if Bone Shards isn't great for most of my decks, then my black decks need a little spice in them. To be honest, I don't think edicts are an effect that work in today's design environment.

Worth testing interesting Variable Solutions A better balanced take on Pest Infestation, which is more than welcome! The versatility and decision making involved make it far more interesting than the raw power of Pest Infestation. Unlike other designs, this seems properly balanced if you...

8 copies of Manamorphose seems like a problem about to happen. I would be up for it, though

Imaigne having all that resume and still failing so hard at aura farming.

I cut my looters so that people were actually drawn more to Waterfront Bouncer and Duelist of the Mind lmao

Flashback This is the standout card of the set as far as cube goes, it's going to be a permanent staple. It's extremely versatile, not just in gameplay terms, but in how it provides redudancy for the cube. There are a lot of decks and archetypes that do not work, or only appear in some colours...

I'll be honest, I don't think any of the prepared creatures are any good for cube. Like, Limited must be a ton of fun, it's a shame I cannot play it anyhow. But I don't seem them making them into most cubes. They are just too expensive. After all, how good is a Seething Song that requires you...

Thing in the Ice is great the only reason I don't run it is because it's a Double-faced card, like Jace. Personally, I don't think green needs spell-matters payoffs. While it's possible and you sometimes see a splash, I haven't found it makes too much of a difference. In my experience, you can...
