I totally get that. I guess I was thinking of replacing Gideon Blackblade which is a bit more generic in my eyes. Sure he hits hard, but there are already some hard hitting cards in White and with the addition of Portable Hole and Prismatic Ending, his removal option seems less needed. I guess I...

Thanks for the write up, always enjoy reading these "tournament reports". Yours especially because our cubes are on a similar power level. I have a few questions/comments about cards/strategies that stood out (by there presence or absence). Most decks seem to be 3+ colors. Have you considered...

I will be purchasing the collection. In trying to keep with the spirit of Velrun's wishes, I will offer you all a chance to pick some pieces up first (provided I don't keep them for myself!). Thank you Velrun for the opportunity.

I realize that my cube is set up to support the Dragonsguard Elite, but that I never included it >< Just drafted this as an example deck, which looks decent IMO as a base version. Ones 1 Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer 1 Hexdrinker 1 Skullclamp 1 Chromatic Star 2 Faithless Looting 1 Galvanic Blast 1...

I think Green has what it needs to take an active role in a spells matter deck: Dragonsguard Elite Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse Managorger Hydra Quandrix Apprentice Jolrael isn't exactly a spells matter card, but if you are looking at UXg spells decks, you probably have some amounts of cantrips...

Some other cards to push into Gruul/Naya Ashnod’s altar Grand warlord radha Devil’s Play Chandra, acolyte of flame Altar can be another engine that converts creatures into mana. The payoff is big (2 mana!) but so is the risk of losing your board. Radha also makes a bunch of mana and cares...

So a little different post, here is a wish list of cards that I would like for my cube. I've been reading other threads where people are starting to prioritize replacing cards only if they fill a void in the cube's design and I think that is a great idea. It also helps narrow down the amount of...

Showdown is great and in the cube, as is Figure of Destiny. I was saying that past those two, I don't like the options much. Glad to hear Kykar does work, I like the look of that card. The evasive flyers are sure to push through damage. The non-creature part kind of makes this an artifact card...

I followed blacksmithy's advice and cut Dismantling Wave for Fateful Absence. Eloise is definitely a very sweet and synergy driven card, however that 5 mana value is so much. If I weren't so hellbent on avoiding expensive cards that do nothing on ETB, I would play this. Might be time to build a...

I don't have much to say on some of these, so I figured I would chime in where I feel more confident: Shark Typhoon Search for Azcanta Hedron Crab Faerie Conclave Typhoon is powerful, but plays really well at every point in the curve. It fits into all sorts of Blue decks and can be an artifact...

Here are some takes on permanent based storm. Not sure if they fit the bill, but it was fun to think about either way. The most likely to work without including too many narrow cards would be the untap mana storm and the artifact storm. Due to the nature of the decks and that your cube isn't a...

Has anyone tried Explosion // Expansion as a fork with flexibility?

When you say Storm, is it like actual factual Storm or is it a combo deck chaining together multiple spells to achieve a win? Or even an engine that combines to get a lot of value/mana?

Out of your list, I think Dream Halls has a high upside. It really rewards you for chaining wheels and pairs well with Sneak Attack and Feldon of the Third Path for a different type of cheaty deck. I am also drawn to Mizzix's Mastery as a spells/self-mill payoff. It is totally serviceable at 4...

I am going to go with a bit of both of the answers above me and confuse you more. I like both White removal spells and would play Braids in your environment first.

That is a good point, but I don't think I am willing to add a second Skullclamp. I do have Yawgmoth, Thran's Physician in black that plays similarly, but is obviously worse. I am however ok including tutors to go and fetch the equipment. Currently have Enlightened Tutor, Stoneforge Mystic...

Like some of you, I am choosing to stay away from day/night cards. I will also be avoiding coven and decayed zombies as they add new keyword/tokens for some non-essential effects for my cube. That being said, I am happy with what the set is offering! Including Fateful Absence Intrepid...

Red: Jeska's Will Light up the Stage Fists of Flame Non red: Ancestral Visions Unearth Sevinne’s reclamation

« Just » the one. It’s definitely one of the top 5 most powerful cards in the cube, but yeah. In MP cubes you have more leeway to run power outliers since you can find yourself in a 3vs1 which is rough. Might still be unreasonable to run it, but it is fun.

I would be sad to see Oath of Druids leave the cube. It is such a crazy build around that also dumps your deck into the GY for further abuse. I have no qualms about the others (well maybe Anger a little bit, it's a favorite of mine).
