BW Zombies is a fun subtheme. You basically pair Embalm creatures in white with black zombies or 2/2 zombie makers, then use tokens+zombies-matter as payoff. In a graveyard-focused cube, I've found Esper Zombies to be super solid. The Penny Pincher 2.0 is a great example of a UB-centric zombie...

Great draft! That is a prime example of what I want Gruul to do. However, I notice you don't have any Deserts; I would recommend picking them fairly highly. Every deck wants them, so similarly to removal they go fast. The games are slow enough that having basically a free spell in your land...

New list: http://www.cubetutor.com/cubeblog/99585 Welcome to the Future Cycle cube! Drawing from Time Spiral design ideas and Amonkhet/Innistrad graveyard themes, this is a very low-powered format designed around Deserts. The culmination of many Cubetutor prototypes, I am preparing to buy this...

I don't know how to do the conspiracy border for the Scroll, but I came up with this recently. I tweaked the scroll reminder text a little, I think this makes it a bit clearer. Thoughts? Fabricate is great for building overlap between artifacts, tokens and counters, but there's not a lot of...

Shh :p Yeah my mistake. I still like the idea of using it as impromptu graveyard hate, maybe to prevent a reanimation spell or to delay them recovering a key card off Mnemonic Wall.

I actually really like that it's card disadvantage. As basically a 0 mana instant, it offers unparalleled versatility, and that has to come at a cost. Card quality, rather than quantity, is especially important in slower formats, where topdeck wars are a danger, so I think this has a place at a...

Noxious Revival This card looks like a blast. Rebuy removal or a threat, prevent your opponent from topdecking an answer, or cast it in response to your opponent's Scavenge or Embalm. Plus, incidental Storm/Prowess support.

Set AdriftBrainspoilCompulsory Rest I really like Set Adrift; in a slow graveyard format, Delve cards have to be pretty weak to be fair. It answers almost anything, often for U, but they get to recast it next turn; think of it as a 1-4 mana bounce spell that isn't card disadvantage. A fun play...

Thunderblade Charge I'm a fan of this if you go low enough power. It can foster an interesting Ophidian subtheme and remains playable in any red deck. Overall it's a pretty fun minigame to trigger it, although it has a slight win-more element to it. Of the other two I think I prefer Hammer of...

Mistmoon Griffin This looks really fun with Delve, sacrifice effects, Emerge etc. How does it compare to Timely Hordemate? The body is weak enough that you might find yourself trying to find a way to get it killed, so the ideal situation probably is it trades with some x/2. If you go low power...

If you go low enough power, I've found the "sacrifice a Desert:" ones to be fairly high picks. They're just great mana sinks and work well with graveyard themes. The Cycling ones, Dunes of the Dead, Sunscorched Desert and/or Painted Bluffs could definitely be put into the BLB though, especially...

I'm considering them for both, actually. That's a neat card, I think I may use it instead! Being able to attack after pumping seems clutch.

Encampment Keeper vs. Selfless Cathar Which card is more interesting, and how does power level compare? Both obviously are super low power, but in a format where 1/1s are actually relevant, can these be viable? As of now I like Selfless Cathar; it seems to offer more decisions and actually...
