    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond testing/includes thread

    Since I removed the enchantments archetype from the cube, and graveyard is more like madness now, there really isn't much for me in this set. Cards I might test. Maybe. Wavebreak Hippocamp for UG Flash One with the Stars The First Iroan Games Haktos the Unscarred because they are cool...

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    Purphoros's Intervention is seriously pushed. 1R = 2 damage, 2R = 4 damage, 3R = 6 damage. I don't think we're seen the last rate in a burn spell in the past. The flexibility is great and something that is consistently undervalued when looking at new cards. I actually don't intend to run it...

    The Elegant Cube

    Stinging Shot Seriously, though, it's the combo's inconsistency. The game in which the combo just fires off turn 4 are pretty rare. There is no Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, and the two creatures that combo with Splinter Twin are Pestermite and Zealous Conscripts. If you draft all of them, you...

    The Heritage Cube (Cube: Legacy)

    Really cool idea! Deathtouch Icatian Javelineers are just mean. I love a lot of things here: the quests seem really fun to complete! Also the mods being tied to colors stops the crazy color bleeds I saw in a similar cube. When do you draft the quests? Or are they global? Do you know what the...

    The Elegant Cube

    Thanks! I added it after the prerelease, but as I saw standard devolving into Elk and saw the role Once Upon a Time had, I foresaw it doing the same thing in my cube. I might test it again in the future, if green needs a straight buff.

    The Elegant Cube

    Update 4.8 Shift UBG Graveyard into UBR Discard Green did not work well as a graveyard color. It plays as a slow deck that does not do much, then does something broken. No one was comfortable drafting it, and many cards worked awkwardly with each other. In this update, I remove graveyard...

    Sets (M20) Testing/Includes Thread

    Where are you at on Glint-Horn Buccaneer? I'm looking into switching my triangle UBG Graveyard to UBR Discard and it looks like a key card to have in red. Also curious about Tomebound Lich.

    General Green four drop creatures

    Green 4-drops is pretty busy in my cube. As you might know, it's lower power than most, and slow tempo. Briarhorn Blastoderm Penumbra Spider Ripjaw Raptor Vital Splicer Nightpack Ambusher Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen Immaculate Magistrate World Shaper Cards I have run for a while Briarhorn is...

    Sets (ELD) Throne of Eldraine Testing and Includes thread.

    I'm a bit afraid of wary of including Creatures with Adventures for complexity reasons, even though many of them are cool. Therefore, I'm including very little from Eldraine, and luckily I opened both in the prerelease: Once Upon a Time Gingerbrute Also I want to test the Castles: Castle...

    General Fight Club

    Skirge is much, much better than Spined Thopter. I wish the Thopter was a bit better actually to be playable in my cube.

    How does this deck work? What's the win condition? How does it protect itself? At what point does it go off?

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    This has been a really good card in elves for me: Hunting Triad Cross-synergy with counters, tokens, sacrifice, flash, and voltron.

    General Fight Club

    Is Venser really fun? How is it not a meaner Mist Raven? I don't think I should run both Merfolk because they are so similar, it would be confusing.

    General Fight Club

    Merfolk Trickster vs Harbinger of the Tides Both work well with flash, wizards, and tappers, which are decks I support. I like the short but deep text of Trickster, but I'm concerned it might be a rules nightmare.

    Sets [C19] Commander 2019 Previews, Spoilers, Leaks, Leeks, and General Tomfoolery

    Could be useful as a low power wrath-synergy card, like Selfless Spirit. 3/3 first strike for 4 is not bad either. But yeah, probably too narrow for a gold card.
