I'm gonna prox it up. I think it might be a perfect occasional for my cube, a buildaround that makes for unique decks. Drafted this pretending I had Providence of Night to see how viable it is: Ones 1 Goldmeadow Harrier 1 Doomed Traveler 1 Path to Exile 1 Beckon Apparition Twos 1 Perilous Myr...

Providence of Knight Why can't they print that in paper ffs

I was at this point, more or less, but I decided to go for a more curated environment for two reasons: 1. the juice didn't seem worth the squeeze with how much math and preparation you had to do and 2. I never like how impossible it was to draft a focused guild deck in the full block format. I...

You could do it, I think, when you have mostly non-parasitic tribal lords, either because the come with their own tokens: Siege-Gang Commander Imperious Perfect Captain of the Watch Or payoffs that only require a threshold of one: Wort, Boggart Auntie Arashin Foremost Champion of thePerfect...

I hate everything about this card.

Stoic Grove-Guide This card is kinda interesting at second look. If you loot/rummage/mill it to the gy it's like a bear that draws a card. Pretty cool lower powered card.

I like the idea to combine these two seemingly opposing themes through heavy hybrid use. Not that devotion is not the only way to mechanically care about one color, stuff like e.g. Cinder Pyromancer exists.

I think Tasigur is stronger, since it's also one mana (or one exiled card) cheaper. However, I would prefer the fish. It has more synergy hooks apparently for being a zombie, it doesn't limit you to sultai colors and it reads cleaner. Three big advantages that make up for the maybe slightly...

I'm happy none of the designs really speak to me. Don't like the looks of this "return to new york" set.

This is so true. I'm mostly tinkering with the same ~10% of my cube for the past few years.

That is actually pretty genius! Fuss//Bother is likely to play very much like a boros hybrid – not many non-white, non-blue red decks would play Bother anyway. And Fuss seems like a respectable token payoff! Sadly, Flotsam seems quite weak compared to Thought Scour and Malevolent Rumble. I...

I ended up adding all the cards above except Ayula's Influence – instead I'll try the tamer Genju of the Cedars. _____________________________ I really wouldn't mind going up to four hybrids per color combination in my cire cube, but I want to avoid adding cards just because they are hybrids...

Don't do that. It would kill the whole appeal imo.

This is a testing/includes thread. Post pictures using /ci or a text list using /c with what cards you plan to include and what cards you plan to test. Maybe I shouldn't be called ravnic, but instead ... Shadowmorty. If there is one world that I love as much, if not more than the city of...

Kulrath Zealot This might be my favorite big cycling creature in red. He's cool for lower powered reanimator.
