I'm more questioning the fact that you made a Mana Drain version of Essence Scatter and then threw in real Mana Drain instead of a Mana Drain version of Negate. That feels aesthetically wrong to me. And... yeah, it's a powered cube, but I don't see why you're planning on including so many cards...

Clearly they're going to either add another color or remove a color. Or, better yet, they'll get rid of a color, then add another color a year later. Ooh, or they'll go the Yugioh route and just add another zone to the game entirely. Interplanar Brushwagg wasn't a gag, it was a portent of...

I don't see any reason why you'd have Essence Drain ("counter target creature spell" + steal the mana used to cast it) and Mana Drain ("counter target spell" + steal the mana used to cast it) in the same card pool at the same cost. That seems... off. Mental Static is kinda cool. Frilled Mage...

Meddle the Mixture also really stands out as a typo, since you would "muddle a mixture" (aka screw it up), but you would "meddle with a mixture" (aka tamper with it). The other two don't work very well because non-permanent spells that have verbs for names generally use the root form of the...

Flagstones of Trokair and the Bridge lands.

I wouldn't actually be too terribly surprised if we never got compleated red planeswalkers, since red is the "hero color" in the overall Phyrexian arc. If we go off of the ones that we know were compleated, it seems like the most "vulnerable" colors are {G/U} (since all of them are either blue...

As someone who works in a copyright-adjacent field... calling intellectual property laws "clearly defined" is a bit of a stretch, since (at least in the US) the actual intent behind the law has been folded, spindled, and mutilated over time. The subject of AI art also falls into pretty weird...

I think poison is, but Infect isn't. I'm honestly kinda bummed that we're getting a "fixed" Infect in ONE. Not because I want more real Infect (that ship has sailed), but because I wish that they would have gone with a more flavorful version of the archetype. I want to see the control version...

Gush unfortunately wants you to have two Islands to bounce, which isn't something that the mana base can normally do. Like, you could have it in the cube, but it'd be as an A+B combo piece instead of a generically good draw spell. Deprive is a decent shout, though. I'm honestly a little...

Tinkering is a fun card if you have some cheap way to copy it — I run it in my Wort EDH and it feels pretty nice there. In a normal context? Eh. I agree that the cheaper "Thrill of Possibility + Treasures" cards are probably better use of that slot. --- Speaking of combos with Echo of Eons...

Shigeki, Jukai Visionary Regrowth Early Harvest You need 12 mana worth of basic lands, but it gives you infinite mana and coincidentally lets you loop everything in your graveyard an infinite number of times.

That's why you combine it with Paradoxical Outcome (or similar) — tap your eggs to pay for Paradoxical Outcome to pick up those eggs and replay them. (I am, in fact, just describing the Kaladesh standard "storm" deck :p)

Clearly they were designed by programmers. :p I'm not sure that "start at level 1" would be a good move, since some level up creatures are actually insanely well statted for their costs if you do: Ikaral Outrider Skywatcher Adept Zulaport Enforcer Joraga Treespeaker EDIT: I feel like the best...

Protip: pair it with Inspiring Statuary Actually, just run Statuary anyway — it synergizes really well with stuff that makes artifact tokens but avoids taking over the game the way that Urza, Lord High Artificer can.

I'm legitimately surprised that this wasn't Magic 30 — "hey, let's celebrate Magic's history by drafting Dominaria's greatest hits" would have gone over really well.

I appreciate your hustle, but I'm not sure that extra fast mana would fit with what the cube's doing. :p I don't have time to elaborate on it right now, but I wonder if this cube wants some stuff that bounces lands? Part of me is envisioning a control deck built around Soratami Savant, and...

You're missing... Paradoxical Outcome For your Eggs archetype.

Oh, don't worry Onder — I know bbcode (I've been using it in one way or another since I was 14-15 or so)... I'm just lazy and the WYSIWYG editor is the default. I just thought I'd lodge a "bug report" in case someone could do something.

I was worried that that would be the answer. :(
