Warped Devotion

The thing is that Bombardiers isn't busted in the context of Commander, because you have three times the number of opponents and everyone has double the normal life total. Games are also way slower in general unless you're looking at CEDH.

From when I've played with it, it just straight up vomits tokens onto the battlefield if you have any support for any of those tokens. If you don't, it's just a naff creature. I'm not sure that it's a good card for Cube.

If tokens are just bodies in your cube and you don't care about the types, you can just sharpie out the types and run one 1/1 white creature token.

Dang it, WotC, why do you keep printing mechanics that are stupidly interesting, especially for my silly 2-3-7 projects (which I'll get back to at some point, I swear)? Plot's probably one of my favorite mechanics that I've seen in a hot minute.

The trick there is to focus on stuff where it's incredibly obvious whether or not the boost applies. Compare Silverfur Partisan to Rotlung Reanimator - it's almost always going to be really obvious whether or not a creature is a Wolf/Werewolf, but, like... here's the art and name of four White...

Sounds like you need more ramp, then, and/or cards to help stall out until you can slam BIG ELDRAZI. I dunno, put Eye of Ugin in the BLB or something.

I mean, if your core design goal is "make the OG Eldrazi fun and cool", and you've got "good" cards that outclass them... those "good" cards are bad in this context and you should scrap them. Or you could just admit to yourself that you do not, in fact, love Eldrazi, and change the name of your...

Silverfur Partisan?

The paradox of Magic: creatures getting better has made the game worse unless you happen to really like midrange.

I've wondered for a while how much "Domain tops out at 6" really matters. None of the Domain effects stand out to me as broken with X=6 instead of X=5 except for maybe Tribal Flames?

Nah, you can just give it "{T}: Add {c}". I think you're mixing up rule 305.6 (which grants the basic land types the ability to tap for the appropriate color) and rule 305.7 (which defines what happens when a land gains a basic land type, which includes the loss of other abilities). Or maybe...

Bloomburrow is going to be nothing but Redwall references, just you wait.

As cool as that would be, that would require Scryfall to expose the tags to API calls, which they currently don't. :( Even if you did have that, you'd run into the fact that Scryfall's set of tags isn't always going to be useful for cubing purposes (unfortunately). For example, let's look at...

Hmm... I'm not entirely sure that I like Harmonic Prodigy here — it pushes the "Wizard" micro-archetype into another color. Not sure if I want that. What if I try a different Wizard build-around? Ooh, look at how that links to so much stuff! That said, there's something to be said for adding...

Weird tinkering time! I'm fiddling with a mono-green cube, and I've hit on fights, fogs, and combat tricks as substitutes for traditional creature removal that feel pretty green (it also means that Hunt the Hunter is on the table, which feels really cute). However, I'm unsure as to how many...

I'm glad the cubing world doesn't have this problem — if an archetype in one of our formats is dumb garbage, we can just rip the whole thing out and be done with it. Meanwhile, WotC has to power-creep themselves because they have a very minimal ability to remove cards from constructed formats...

The funny thing is that Skurry of Gremlins could totally just be a one-off card for the "have a lot of dudes" theme. Energy feeling super gross and parasitic is honestly mostly a side effect of Temur Energy and friends being a thing in Kaladesh standard, where "go all in on Energy" was one of...
