Honestly, I think they're all excellent choices! The Spirit Guide is certainly something! I would have to wonder if that specific one isn't a less flexible lotus petal in most cases.

I think I'll post an egg a day next week to get some juices flowing :)

Devil's Play EDIT: if Myr Enforcer doesn't count I think this should. It's often used as 'destroy target player', sometimes even from the graveyard

As the inspiration of this contest might've given away; I'm a big fan of lucky paper radio. To get the designer juices flowing, here's two episodes of their podcast that dives into emergent design around a single egg: episode 182 - Trade Routes episode 197 - Goblin Charbelcher

Stickering to 180 I've playtested the cube a few times, upped the size to 180 (with 20 sticker sheets) and made it a Jund cube. 3 more creatures have been eternallized in the past two months, bringing the total up to 6. This card is the perfect example of the potential of stickers to...

I like contests, I hope you do too. Now that the previous contest is officially over, I figured that it was time for myself to take up the mantle to organise one! Design a cube where at least 30 cards are identical I really like the concept of the 100 ornithopter cube. Inspired by this concept...

180 Jeskai Cube include: Sarpadian Simulacrum I think that having only one include just shows how content I am with this cube and I feel that it's in a really nice place right now. It also shows how much my design goals have shifted since the pervious Modern Horizons set, which introduced 13...

MH1 had snow, which is really similar to colorless. It also has goblins and ninjas which aren't really modular either. MH2 was far better though! I do really like the abzan color combination in MH3. Modified is one of the most interesting mechanisms of the past few years and I really like how...

the Stickered Cube 180 cards | 2 or 4 players I really love the stickers that Unfinity introduces, but am not a fan of the ticket-system accompanying them. I've been brainstorming a way to use these stickers in cube without their current rules baggage, instead allowing stickers to bring...

Yeah, generally I like the mana value to be greater than the toughness, or have the creature have some downside. Lupine Prototype is probably most extreme. Stickers are... somewhat reusable. I have 40 different stickers sheets and need 20 sheets per draft. Today was the first time we had to...

Yes and no. You can use P/T stickers as well, but for ticket value we look at the toughness of the creature, not its power, so you wouldn't be able to put it on the Sergeant.

I've started doing this! Although for now just with the people new to the cube, whether they win or lose, to get the really hooked :) Stickering the cards before the draft was much better. It more than doubled the deckbuilding time, but made the gameplay itself so much smoother. I'll be...

I really like the mechanics for this set and it seems like a lot of fun to draft! But for my own cube, I don't think I'll add anything. The following cards are the biggest maybes, in order of likelihood (likely to unlikely): Razzle-Dazzler Tomb Trawler Jem Lightfoote, Sky Explorer Geyser Drake...

Yeah, we were playing with two and too excited not to sticker myself. I would certainly do only the winner if I'd ever draft it with 8, and maybe in the future with two as some kind of price :) No, but I did play inscryption which does awesome thing with permanently altering cards as a...

You're forgetting that if I play a deck with mainly 1c (or c) cards, I often want to pay 2cc on turn 4 to double-spell. I think a good mana base intends to make double spelling possible as well as make individual cards be castable. If you add these 1c spells to the mix, the probability to draw...

I've played a Proof of Concept yesterday, and it worked as well as I could hope! It wasn't as smooth as I'd hoped, so I have a few takeaways: - Let the stickering happen during deck construction, it disrupts the flow too much when doing it during play (this also prevents confusion around tokens)...

Tickets are too cheap when directly converted to mana value. The aforementioned 2mv 4/2 is an example of this (but a 3mv 6/3 is another example). At that point, the creatures need downside mechanics anyway. By tying ticket value to toughness, I get to have 2mv creatures with downside mechanics...

I'm dragging this cube idea from its grave because I actually ordered some cards now! I also tweaked the concept some: Cool Fluffy Loxodon Narrow-Minded Baloney Fireworks Sticky Kavu Daredevil Grid-draft the entire 180 card cube. Any sticker cards you draft this way are available during any...

Yes I was assuming you'd have to break singleton, didn't make that clear. I'm curious how they'll fix it in MH3. They'll probably a assure colorless land in every pack, like they did with snow lands/mana, hopefully with basic land types for the reasons you mention!
