I'm interested in this. I've been playing around with utilising counters for other effects, and this looks like it might be entertaining with cards in my cube: forgotten ancient increasing savagery varolz, the scar-striped agoraphobia The Underworld Cookbook seems pretty good for me too, with...

Thanks! Divine Reckoning has always seemed fairly... terrible? Though I can see there's an appeal, I'm not sure it's quite right. Would have to be something I would test out, and there's not a lot of that happening at the moment lol. Cut Dusk/Dawn as it's more of an aggressive card, and didn't...

Yeah your band is pretty wide. Kels might be overpowered with all the spawn running around. The angel is probably fine, it's the lifelink which will be a problem, but you should be able to shoot it down fairly easily.

All fun apart from duelist which might lead to oops I win feel bads?

Thoughts on come-back cards Following on from Zoss’s comments above, I’ve been giving a bit of thought to bringing in some more sweepers (still need to give a bit more thought to appropriate ‘come-back’ cards). Having looked at your cube @Zoss, I can see why you think I need more, because...

What makes you say that I wonder?

I love how each set you're super hyped @ravnic then gradually disappointed as we go through the set as it doesn't meet your expectations. :D

For me, Selesnya is the most problematic of the guilds, and it's always good to see others struggle with it too. I can't put my finger on why it's such a problem, I wonder if it's because there's both so much overlap but also such a lack of interesting archetypal possibilities. I think your 4...

Yes, very impressive! Feel daunted to even get something in the same ball park for my write up! I like this line: Might just steal that! Just a couple of comments: * Would be good to include a link to the cube at the top of the page, I think the only link is in your sig still. * I really...

Thanks, that's very helpful. Lots to consider here. Couple of things to separate out here - there's something about sweepers giving midrange/control space to do their stuff. I also have Massacre Girl, Engineered Explosives as conditional wraths (and I might also consider Setessan Tactics in that...

Thanks for the draft and feedback Zoss, really appreciate it. It's interesting your take on the heroic side of things, which I suspect might be newness to the format - the only things which are really 'heroic' are anax, zada and livewire lash. The rest of the play to it is more about power...

https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/167q So it looks like I'm fairly happy with version 3.2. Last couple of cards are always a pain, but wanted to get this out there before the next set of spoilers forces me to re-evaluation everything. Would love to hear any thoughts or observations - questions...

It's not so much about it being a blocker, it's when the villain takes it out with a removal spell when you're tapped out and then you've got no way of getting it back/maintaining the advantage. Depends what you want - I'd be happier with one of the token things myself. Have you considered...

To be honest, I can't think of an example of a 'guide' that has really stood out as a prime example of how to do it. It's interesting you say guide, because that implies you're almost writing it for the players. But I think here, you're more writing it to be understood by other cube designers...

Thanks Japahn, that was interesting. I really liked the aerial responder example, that really brought the level of subtlety to life.

Yeah, I think if you wanted to keep Axgard viable you'd need to add in some more equipment/auras that RW have access to. It's either that or leave it out. A few suggestions ancestral blade goldvein pick fire whip inferno fist gryff's boon faith unbroken

Yeah, solid - bit of an intersection between mill and sacrifice. Already have oversold cemetery, but this could support it for the cool sac stuff. Okay, I'm sold.

I was gonna play King Narfi's Betrayal (which is pretty good) but maybe I'll have to think about the Lich instead?

I think the frog is a great add, really unassuming but good synergy. I think tenacious dead is pretty terrible really - the problem is you need to have two mana up all the time if you want to save it otherwise you don't get the effect. If you want that effect maybe sanitarium skeleton? You'll...

@Heymaker Thanks for the wander through Scryfall! A lot of the cards you listed are pretty much reanimation - the beauty of ooze for me, is the combining of different abilities in one card. I'll have a lot of the reanimations to 'protect' the ooze, so that's okay. The one which is most...
