Whenever I make a UW version of a UB card, I keep the type line the same for mechanical reasons. When the creature type is something like "Necron", I'll make up a new creature type. I do this only to distinguish my UW cards from full-on custom cards. I like the distinction to be very strict, but...

Dude you've got to put in Razorlash Transmogrant.

The one card I'm really considering testing from this set is: Dimension X Pizzasaur There's a lot of flexibility in my 4-drop black creatures area. I like the cards I've picked but I'm not very attached to any of them. This thing synergizes well with a lot of other cards in the environment...

I have to admit I like the pizzas. Maybe I'm just hungry...

I love this, and I am ready to allow the implications to drive me insane. Oblivion beckons.

Some favorites of mine: Greasewrench Goblin Bomat Courier Ogre-Head Helm Scrapwork Mutt Charming Scoundrel All of these cards are from my artifacts-matter cube, so there's a pretty clear theme going on here. There's also an argument for Voldaren Epicure here, depending on how you feel about...

Here's an updated version, plus a much dumber card.

Thank you! The intention with the -2/-2 is to make it a little more tempting to aim both {U} and {B} effects at the same target. I feel like it's always going to be a 2-for-1 if I give him the -3/-3. As for the stats, I mostly picked 2/2 to line up with the original Shriekmaw, but that card is...

Draft Report! Had a friend over to draft this thing the other day. One of my goals with this cube was to create a list that scaled well with player count. My theory is that cubes with very broad themes can play just as well with two players as with eight, since there are no real narrow "decks"...

I'm just glad they crammed the Encore text onto all the Incarnations from the Commander decks.

Not sure if anyone else is running a budget cube in here, but Figure of Fable is like 35c at the moment and I'm really, REALLY happy about it.

Reprint Watch Here's where I track cards I want to include, but can't afford to play unsleeved. The soft limit is $1, but cards that are especially excellent for the cube can go up to about $2.50. But not too many! It's a bar cube, after all. Identifying Magic cards that are fun to play but...

Landfill This whole project started from a simple thought experiment: What kind of results would I get on Scryfall if I searched something like "c=g cmc=3 usd<1 -o:create -o:counter is:new -is: DFC -is:ub game: paper"? It seemed like an absurdly restrictive set of search terms, and I knew it...
