Yeah, it definitely feels like more of a "constructed" card — have four other Soldiers on the battlefield and ready to attack is a bit of a tall order in Limited.

That Saheeli is amazing and I love it. I love planeswalkers where you're likely to use every part of the card, and I'm not seeing a single ability I'd ignore. EDIT: Also, they're apparently reprinting Diabolic Intent into Standard? The hell? I guess it'll drive down the price a little bit...

May I draw your attention to Rampage of the Clans (I get your point, though.)

Not actually all that great (outside of limited, where it's going to do a reasonable Wrath of God impression vs. all the artifact creatures that are going to be around)... but that art is adorable.

(For anyone who doesn't want to follow the link). Ashnod seems really good.

Overwhelming Remorse is cool to me because, in a lot of cubes, it signals that a graveyard-stocking deck is a thing without necessarily being useless if you fail to get that deck together (it's alright at {2}{B}, good at {1}{B}, and kinda crazy at {B}).

You joke, but I saw some innocent soul post this on a spoiler website post this: They apparently weren't joking. --- As for today's spoilers, these struck me as interesting designs: We have a cool "soft" removal spell (which is effectively hard removal vs. tokens and cheat targets), a neat...

This one of them? On the one hand, Scavenged Brawler isn't the best reanimator target in the universe. Also, the graveyard ability slaps five different types of counters on a single creature, so there's also that. On the other hand, that's a hilariously powered-up version of Scavenge right...

I kinda like Kayla's Command? If nothing else, it's basically: Construct - {1}{W}{W} Token Artifact Creature - Construct When Construct enters the battlefield, choose one: • Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. It gains double strike until end of turn. • Search your library for a basic...

Hey WOTC, why doesn't this just have Enrage? :p

Brushwagg cube would be too powerful. It'd burn your fingers clean off.

One restriction that would actually meaningfully reduce the amount of stuff you have to deal with is only using cards from Standard-legal sets. That's only, what, five sets a year?

If by "finish" you mean "reached the point where it makes me want to puke at shear rage over how it does not exactly match my vision", then yes!

Yeah, honestly... Seriously, I like modal cards. One of my recurring cube design things revolves around modal mechanics in order to fill out the curve, but come on. Honestly, I kinda wish that, in the absence of blocks, they just had mechanics last multiple sets. So you'd have three sets in a...

Fucking hell, Wizards, stop inventing new mechanics that offer modal costs! I just finished making a new 2-3-7 cube. Look at our two heroes walking war-crimes! I feel like Urza is the stronger of the two (permanent ramp, looting instead of rummaging)... but I feel like Mishra is the cooler...

I dunno if that's supposed to be a compliment or not. :p As for the "short deadline to deal 20"... I forgot to mention that my particular 15-card environment started everyone with 10 life. And that the "grindy" decks were packing stuff like Serene Remembrance.

I mean, you're also making the assumption that I have a group of people who would be drafting this cube on the regular. Which is flattering, don't get me wrong, but the reality is that this would be a design exercise that would probably get drafted once or twice as a novelty. As for the...

"Regular" cube? I don't actually have any.

Eh, the fact that the format is going to be utterly degenerate is part of the fun. I'm also unlikely to run Life from the Loam (maybe if there was a version that didn't have Dredge?) If I'm going to include ways to loop lands, it'll be something like Turntimber Sower or the like.

I think Keyword Trading Post is a perfect example of why that style of wording doesn't work for Magic. If that were a Hearthstone card, you could hover over the card and a nice pop-up would show up that would explain exactly what each of those words mean. For Magic... well, you're shit out of...
