    Nice try. This is clearly ravnic on a new account trying to trick me. I also made some customs lol. Here's my real question for those on Team {c}: What does the cube gain in terms of play value? Hardly any C cards are going to be in there and most of them are super replaceable. The list is...

    There's also a post on this page featuring every C costed card that I was considering along with an analysis of why the splash isn't very appealing.

    The flexibility of being colorless combined with the cast triggers is what makes them so great to me. You always get some value for your 10 mana.

    I hate you guys. It's so much worse. Adding a whole color for (at most) 12 cards?! It's not like it won't be an Eldrazi cube if it doesn't run those 12 cards.

    This is a solid idea. I also considered a ton of Prismatic Vistas, adding quite a few custom lands, etc. At the end of the day, I'm only losing out on Devourer of Destiny for cards that aren't easily replaced or very difficult to cast. Inversion Behemoth is also very cool, but 2CC is super...

    Colorless mana was cut for being too narrow, re-added for MH3 hype, and has been cut again. Now I'm looking for "slower" aggro decks that can win into the late game. I think the idea of traditional constructed-style aggro that curves out isn't ideal here. I don't want aggro to push out the...

    Looking at cards with "m:{c}" in my list, they fall into two main categories: Difficult to cast on time: wastescape battlemage it that heralds the end glaring fleshraker inversion behemoth eldrazi confluence These last two are my favorite cards of the lot, but {C}{C} on mv=4 is a lot for a...

    Agreed. Third option looks the most optimal, but the most sad, as well. So many sweet affinity cards for mv-matters kinda stuff. Lot of synergy there. The colorless lands have proven to be a greater liability than they appeared on paper. I'm planning to add MDFC lands next update for their...

    I've been mentally stuck on how I want to run my top end post-MH3. Before we start, it's worth noting that the cards from the later examples will likely also slot into the earlier examples. I can run it with colorless costs: glaring fleshraker endbringer devourer of destiny flayer of loyalties...

    Cruel Ultimatum and Eldrazi titans are some in my playgroup.

    It would feel like a betrayal to my Eldrazi overlords, but I'm sort of interested in a having all of my bombs have an alternate mode. Given that the average number of mv>6 cards around here is "like two," I'm feeling like a cube designed to ramp into cyclers, Virtues, and MDFCs is probably way...

    Help me get some quick data. How many cards are in your cube that you'll usually cast at mv>6? Meaning something like Myr Enforcer or Virtue of Persistence don't really count, as they're cast for mv<7 and mv=2, primarily. I want some idea of how many a normal cube runs so that I can see how far...

    I don't think you're hiding any information against the 0 mana Probe, but there's some spell velocity and life-total-matters stuff to be had.

    I think it needs to maintain is card-ness. If you shredded it and cooked it into something that made it soggy and flavorful, that moves away from the intent to me.

    One of our players accidentally picked up an undrafted pack this weekend. Effectively 1 free Lore Seeker lol.

    I did a cube with like 50-100 Endless One for an old contest, but I can't find it. Probably won't participate in this one, but might drop some interesting picks in the final day or two. On the topic of intense multiples, I always thought it could be cool to only run one card per color per MV...

    If you wanted to switch to games, but still use the data from these matches, you could figure it's a 50-50 chance at a 2-0 or a 2-1 and count the match wins as 2-0.5. Conversely, a match loss is 0.5-2. You could also start over. Are these stats based on the card being in the deck that won? I...

    Dedicating 30 slots (pains/filters/landscapes) to subpar lands that produce C sucks. Add in shock/fetch/surveil and a few random lands and I'm up to 75 lands, almost half of which aren't even very good. The list is pretty bloated overall right now. Weighing all my post MH3 options. Still...
