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...

Look, I know this isn't actually better than Indris, the Hydrostatic Surge, that the extra mana, no value if it gets removed and extra mana makes it worse but...storm is just cool, man. The Dawning Archaic This seems interesting as a Reanimator payoff, but I know the lack of ETB is a huge problem.

Also, there are very few green token makers. If this were white and you could pump several creatures at once, probably several times, yeah, then it would be beter.

I know it would be broken as fuck, but I actually wish Honor were an instant. Honor There, I said it.

It's a strong effect, but you need to have 3 mana open, which is a lot. In practice, it's a Mother of Runs variant and the more you have to pay for the effect, the weaker they are. Affecting the whole team is less important than the cost is but the chance of making your whole the unblockable...

That's a bit like saying Time Walk is just an Explore. Yeah, kind of. But also, no.

I don't think Channel is a good card even when it autowins games. Just the double green cost is enough to make it extremely narrow. It doesn't just lock you to one colour, it locks you in green and artifacts because otherwise you don't have enough coloured sources to do anything. All your...
