I think this depends on familiarity with the frame. Personally, I don't use any draft matters cards and didn't even recognize the frame. A new keyword doesn't necessarily need a specialized frame, either way.

Which ones are you most concerned with? I have some reservations about some, but I think that a small change to these can be a huge difference in power level.

into your "hand"

But it's a pretty accurate replacement for how snow mana works. Unfortunately, I don't know how we could get a similar effect to Abominable Treefolk. You could probably make "Basic Artifacts" that produce mana pretty convincingly. I didn't recognize what border this was and I thought it was...

There's all the LD lands like Wasteland and whatnot. Probably Armageddon and Ravages. A pillage variant. Boseiju. Yeah, I hated doing that for the same reason, but PodLand is so cool. I think that Velrun is right that the utility effects need some cost tweaking. I know someone here keyworded...

@blacksmithy Looking into custom powered cube. Cards get more custom as you go. First few are examples of each fixing cycle. I'd love advice on the last 10. Yep! Trying to get an Abzan vibe, but I can probably find something with some more foliage. That's up to your imagination. True...

You could make it a 3/1 for 2 to make it a little scarier and make the exiling effect only at sorcery speed. This gives your graveyard opponent a window of opportunity to do something, but the creature is pressuring their life total in the meantime. You could make the card a black Scooze...

I had the same thought. One mana cyclers and Reanimate, etc, are much more playable in nontraditional reanimator. For sure lol. "Lower power" mostly meant not turn 1-2 unbeatable bomb. Those are still sweet on turn 4. This is my main reason to lean towards the lower mana value method. The...

Looting into Reanimate into Archon of Atraxabrand isn't going to work in cube unless you're on some sort of powermax. Even then, this style of reanimator deck leads to a very "did you combo?" kind of game. The reanimator player either gets there and doesn't. The game can feel almost like a...

"I take your best guy" is a really powerful effect, especially when it can't be Disenchanted. I'd like to toss Lay Claim into the ring. I think that Welcome could be better than Vapor Snare depending on synergies and curve, but Vapor Snare will have a more even power band. It's going to do what...

Yet. I had a similar idea for Desert, Snow, Sphere, Gate with land types, but ended up preferring something like white Theros, blue Mirrodin, black Innistrad, red Amonkhet/Deserts, and green Zendikar. Like 60% of cards in that color from that plane and like 20% each from the "allied" (mix your...

Doesn't matter because you have 17 cards in hand and they have 0 while you're at 36 life.

I think that a draw 7 is similar to a tutor. It scales to your format. No one is gonna storm off, but it'll feel cool for your players to cast their power 9. It'll be pretty powerful sometimes with the right setup, but I can't imagine it causing a problem for you.

I already did the same thing before my last comment lol. Of all the things to go full custom on, snow simply isn't that deep. I do suggest anyone running snow themes proxies their snow cards to update the frames to the KLD ones that are a bit frosty.

I'm looking into printing whatever I settle on and will be adding (Reminder text.) for anything that isn't evergreen.

We have Desert lands as if some large percentage of red sources aren't deserts and we have the Snow supertype as if some decent percentage of blue cards aren't ice and as if a ton of WU lands aren't icy. It really doesn't make sense and I might join team "ignore that nonsense" rather than team...

I've considered making a Booster Tutor pile before. You could do something similar here. Make a pack of like 100 cards to pull from for various randomness effects.

I wish they'd throw "Snow" onto permanents outside of dedicated snow sets. Frostbridge Guard and a lot of other cards in this set are so icy.
