Really good card. Blocks 3/xs all day, possibly forcing over extension, then can get bigger as needed. Survives most damage based sweepers at face value. Makes me wonder if Lagonna-band Trailblazer is playable too. Proclamation of Rebirth I run an asinine number of 1 mana creatures. Is...

Personally I don't think creature removal is the last place where blue's power level should be pushed. That said, if Cube Siren had been printed instead of Hypnotic Siren, I'd probably run it as is, but I'm not necessarily sure I'd be happier with it. Flash doesn't seem correct.

God I wish Ebon Praetor was cubable, that art is classic. Also, I'm on team Oubliette, though I should probably sharpy the new wording onto it.

I already recommended Amun-Re and I'll stand by that one. Basically all of his auction games are good, except Strozzi. Strozzi feels like a parody of a Knizia game. The scoring system is typically interesting like most Knizia titles, but absolutely nothing else about the game is interesting at...

It made my last 3-0 main deck easily and my deck had no enchantment related synergy. Its definitely a low tier card, but stealing a dude is no joke and having a shitty fallback mode is better then nothing. When games turn grindy, the 1/1 flier you get after they kill there dude can be super...

One of my friends described a resolved treachery as being "a kick in the balls" and I'm starting to think the card might not have a place in my cube anymore. The amount of swinginess in that card might be above the line. I liked the card, but its a bit confusing for some of the more casual...

On don't hate Baneslayer that much anymore, but why run it when you can run archangel of thune? She fills the same niche, while also being combotific and not completely unkillable by 98% percent of the average cube in combat. Unless being unkillable in combat while being a finisher is the job...

I mean, he doesn't have flying right away, but he does have outlast. Abzan Falconer EDIT: Did you mean this guy? High Sentinels of Arashin He's pretty decent too.

The flying outlast guy is really good if you have any kind of +1/+1 counter support. Disowned Ancestor is surprising useful. I'm pretty sure Herald of Anafenza is going to be a complete bust, so far no one has touched it. 3 mana is a lot of mana. The rest probably need a sharpy to be...

I think Soldier of Kruphix is one of those untenable designs. A 1/1 with that ability isn't good enough, but a 2/1 with it is insane and there probably isn't a reasonable downside to tack on that would matter.

It seems the the global keyword giving cards are going to be extremely powerful in this cube. Are you going to run actual creatures in this cube? I mean, in general they seem redundant as every enchantment is a creature anyway, but are there a select few that are awesome you are thinking about?

I run Lion Explorer in my cube. I mean, mine is sharpied onto a Savannah Lions, but I run that exact card. What are the chances? Its a nice card for the pridemate deck and acceptable in aggro-generica

Wow, that cycling design is really, really interesting. I think that would be a lock for my land binder. At least the BUG, RUG and RBG versions.

I'm pretty sure the card in at the top left is Worldknit. Nonbasiclands are usually good with worldknit, but City of Brass is probably worth avoiding in most cases.

I really need that thread today.

Sometimes I wish we had a thread that, when we read something asinine about cube on some other website, we can just post a +1 in that thread as a thank you for the existence of Riptide Lab.

I'm slowly but surely hacking my way through this update. Green and white seem to be the toughest spots right now. Green might be overloaded. Some random ideas. Ainok Bond-Kin as a one drop after taking away outlast? Incidental support on an aggro workhouse sounds like elegant design. Still...

Reiner Knizia, Richard Garfield and Francis Tresham are the three greatest board/card game designers of all time. These dudes made great games, but more then that they were extremely influential to future designers. They were all went places in their designs that other people never went before...

Mirri's Guile Delver, Enchantresses, Top of Deck matters cards, reasonable density of shuffles. Seems like a good fit. How playable is this?

On that note I wonder why anyone bothers playing multiplayer Magic when they could play a board game that actually supports their player count.
