Colored artifacts look weird in brothers war commander. Yours looks better but is the mana symbol enough? Maybe have half of the card white the other artifact? Or something else but make sure it is identifiable in one glance as both white and artifact. cursed mirror from the brothers war...

Remember, if you play the Kavu when no other creatures are present you will lose it. Flametongue was a beast in its time, but it had a drawback as well.

Did you think about how to avoid board stalls followed by: player plays a fight card, swings with everything, spend a combat trick, gets blown out by a fog, opponent attacks you fog and so on. Thing is, are players willing to attack at all since they know they will walk into a fog?

No, but I have with prevent 2 damage creatures. Or +1/1 givers. They are great, but mentally taxing for the opponent. They screw with combat math

Isn’t simpler to just do it the other way around, I.e, replace the diamonds with blue? Or as a house rule: replace blue mana symbols with generic mana?

True, my pick was about drafting. Choices in games are a different matter. However, look at the odds to get that hand. Furthermore, there is a high likelihood to draw a plains. I am talking about ex-ante. You are talking post.

I never said it is a downside. It makes the colours less important which could be good but also bad depending on your taste. So to conclude: duals and fetches are not necessary for two colour decks, but do help tremendously. Especially, or they become necessary when one wants to play 1CC or 2CC...

This is only if you desire that one should be able to cast 1WW and 2R on turn three to be reliable. If you do not have 1cc, we end up with 2WW and 2RR which leads to 10ish of each colour. This can easily be achieved by giving each player 3 or 4 wilds variants. Thing is, most likely you can get...

It is a great card. Thing is powerstone goes in all decks, overgrowth only green. Thing 2: green has ramp that’s also a creature or fixing which trumps overgrowth.

This is indeed true. Everything is contextual.

This is blatantly untrue. Unless your cube only has coloured mana cost (and the majority costs more than 1). https://www.channelfireball.com/article/How-Many-Sources-Do-You-Need-to-Consistently-Cast-Your-Spells-A-2022-Update/dc23a7d2-0a16-4c0b-ad36-586fcca03ad8/ Things like fetches (e.g...

I completely agree. I think a land that is better than a basic land should cost you something. Especially if it’s fetchable. At the same time I like that painlands can help with your mana.

It kills most cheap creatures in combat and kills the opponent

Colours? Conditional? What do you desire? Exile Leatherback baloth bone shredder Blast from the past Exclude Do I need to go on? (no not the blast, but maybe you have a blast with it).

Thing is: canopy surge Is likely better in green without red mana due to damaging each player.

I am confused. Suppose green has nothing against flyers, then the lavamancer is just a 2/2 flying. If you cannot play around the decoy, but you must interact with it, then we play vastly different games.

Better creatures are in all colours. Thing is, mom does nothing against the green beasts of these days. If your cube is such that white creatures are as strong as green then yes, but what does green do then?

? Green goes over it with trample/go wide. Mother of runes is in my cube (twice) and it is good, but not even remotely concede worthy. No matter the colour(s) the other player is playing with.

Yes they are the same side of the coin. Thing is, not all colours should have equal access. Definitely not if one colour has more strength in a certain field than another. So, if blue was weaker on other angles then it could have stronger cycling/cantripping/whatever. Thing is, they shit the...

? It just has random cycling attached to it. Not that it does anything with cycling/discarding cards.
