    I've had ideas of "vs" cubes before, but I always find that it's awkward when the "Phyrexians" deck runs Glorybringer or some other card that it's "against." I think it works best with a skewed color pie to attempt to prevent that sort of thing, but you'd still end up with outlier scenarios...

    Maybe murk strider ulamog's reclaimer ulamog's nullifier blight herder? It isn't too hard to focus removal on exiling. Useful to do in a lot of ways. I'm looking more at BFZ's themes, if you couldn't tell. I think I went too far on my interest in ROE. ROE was unique and has never been...

    cryptic cruiser murk strider oracle of dust ulamog's reclaimer mind raker wasteland strangler processor assault void attendant ulamog's nullifier blight herder ruin processor ulamog's despoiler This is garbage, right? Enabling it is a bit tricky and the decent payoffs are very few.

    Looks like the best card in a jank rare cube and a perfect candidate for a Lashwrithe.

    Basically how retail does it? Play curve out aggro with worse dudes? I also made some moves towards guaranteed damage like Blood Artist and Firebrand Archer. Simply having blockers won't make you safe. I'm gonna look into more synergistic aggro like UR spells burn, WB sac, GW or GU +1/+1, WU...

    I really liked how they did Corrupted in BRO as a way to reward <10 poison counters and think Annihinfect is pretty reasonable, though I won't be touching playtest cards lol. Those lands are all sorta reasonable. I don't like the Grixis one ramping so easily.

    I like @TrainmasterGT 's last pick addition. Gives an idea of what to potentially cut, which can be even more valuable. That said, I can't think about MtG outside my own cube right now lol.

    As I've lowered my power level quite a bit, I keep seeing cards that are interesting at even lower power levels. That said, I'm having a problem understanding aggro. I've played my own cubes, retail draft, and constructed. My cubes and constructed have always done the curve out thing where...

    Added a few more MDFCs that fit with the power level decrease. Love those. Need more lands with options. Made a decent number of cuts, but I'm having a hard time with those, as always. Green felt like it had too much ramp left considering there are now Talismans. It still might. I'd like...

    Seems like your next cube idea. This feels a little difficult to track in paper. Multiple cards being on the same card. Not terrible, but that might be why we don't actually have this yet. r/custommagic has a new card like this upvoted to shit pracitcally weekly. God, that place is a hellhole...

    Score, Artist added. Song feels a little weak. Maybe Irencrag Feat? Adds an extra mana, but I'm still not so sure how good a ritual is. Seems like a liability in hand unless you have the bomb, too. It's a -1. Maybe I'm wrong here. Goggles is so cool, but feels worse here than Gilded Lotus...

    That Egret is great and I don't see why they can't give us a real card like that. Anything to avoid nongames.

    Here's what I'm working on right now. Still fighting with it, but this direction is feeling decent. https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/e402ac7e-375a-4fde-92a4-3b92f716fc2f

    I'm considering 2-3 mono color payoffs per color to maybe encourage some mono color decks with all the hybrids present. Crypt Ghast seems much more likely than High Tide as a color-specific mana doubler. I don't think I'll have enough untappers to make Untap Tide a thing lol. Maybe Dictate of...

    forerunner of slaughter flayer drone dust stalker Do we like this as BR? Pretty plain, but it's on theme aggro. Forerunner can give haste to an annihilator, too. i can't tell if Drone and Stalker are any good is mostly my problem here, I guess.

    What if the untap theme is pretty small? Basically some normal ramp, but it can be cute with bounces and a few of the multi-mana sources. kiora's follower voyaging satyr Satyr is easy include. Follower will depend on the GU section having room. forensic researcher ioreth of the healing house...

    For sure. The current version kinda has a mid-high power war at 1-4 drops and then it tapers off until the Eldrazi. I have most of that in some version of my lists lol. I like Mirari's Wake, Nikya, Thran Dynamo, Timeless Lotus, etc to kinda skip the late midgame and go straight up to some...
