Three Tree Scribe This could help me with WG blink and green aggro. Nice.

Ehh... I've had my fill of food puns, lately.

Sure - Here's a Spawn Token file link.

I wouldn't mind being in the list, but I fully expect that my pile of related cards is too rough to get votes. I needed to do more homework. I think it's an entertaining looking pile to glance at, though. A two mana artifact creature makes a good egg. (Mister Gutsy is even better - that was a...

Welcome to RipTideLab! Cloud of Faeries is a really good idea for the egg.

Many of us have some cards that we wish would be reprinted in a certain way. Here's one of mine that I modified and ordered up as a custom. This one is only available as either a brown border or a foil with new art, and I prefer to avoid all of those things. I took the Vintage Master's version...

I hastily completed my Monoskelion cube, so I'm posting this link for posterity. I'm not sad if it can't be included in the voting. In lieu of voting, you can like this post if you think the concerns about mathematical headaches are overblown. https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/30monoskelions

This is exciting. I hope the set includes a few simple designs that will become classics. Every time they quit doing core sets, they come back to it. There must be something of value to it, right? I think part of the recipe for making them successful is that they don't need to be redone every...

It definitely does! It's only the latest in a whole series of sets that create flavor clash in our cubes. I might start thinking of a flavor clash budget in addition to a complexity budget. A card needs to be good enough to be worth the weirdness, and I don't want an entire cube of Tough Cookie...

Chainsaw is a nice glue card, which makes the jarring flavor with respect to most other settings more annoying! It could easily have been something like "Soulfire Axe" using charge counters in a fantasy setting. Maybe I'll run it anyway. The wordiness isn't egregious for how much it does. It...

Makes sense! This could yield some useful modal stuff.

I found something I like: Monoskelion

I'm looking at artifact sacrifice outlets, which seem to be one of life's persistent questions in cubing. I kind of want to add Altar of Dementia as a sac outlet and a build around card, and that makes me look at equipment again for players who might want to pump some dudes for the altar...

Fair enough! For somebody who wants a cube to look and feel a certain way, there are quite a few ways for WotC to screw up a card, and bad artwork is right up there.

Have you considered Burning Prophet over Heartfire Immolator? The repeatable scry is nice smoothing that can help non-aggro red decks do their thing over the long game. And it's an interesting size that makes it work as a good blocker but also a relevant attacker with the trigger.

I've been working pretty hard on a major redesign of this cube! This represents a big step for me, because I moved into a new tier of complexity. I have had some fits and starts in trying to figure out how high to dial this up. I looked at a bunch of other cubes and retail sets for comparison...

I agree with this. When the regular colorless non-C stuff already does what you need it to do, you're golden and you can keep the mana the way you want it while keeping other cards that you can't live without.

Agreed. I am stubbornly avoiding the devoid ones, even though a few are appealing. There's also Awakening Zone, but I don't think I want to run that. The Scion thing is indeed annoying, but I don't see any of those that make me think twice about adding that token type. I think I will simply run...

Yeah, Malevolent Rumble looks sweet enough to make me consider adding Eldrazi Spawn tokens. That card does a lot. It might be the best green self mill sorcery now. I want two of these in my cube, preferably two copies of the same one. Even though this one is wordier than a couple of the others...

According to people who like constructed / Karsten style mana bases in their cubes, it's not crazy to run 16% lands in a cube. For you, that would be over 100 lands. You could have your cake and eat it, too. If you didn't want to make cuts, you could just add more lands, do 16 card packs, amd...
