I would say anything where the EtB is, at least in some situations, better than the 1/1 flier. I also like it with cards that can draw you more noncreature spells with their etb. For example, draw a card might be worse sometimes, but if you have the mana open you can potentially draw into...

Archaeomancer

I don't know yet either, but Talrand has been fine for years and that guy makes 2/2 fliers.

Abuelo is interesting. It's a fine enough thread but would keep the blink theme in the gold slot. Do you think Kykar, Zephyr Awakener would also fit that describtion? Some cards I already adding: Pestermite Barbed Spike Grazilexx, Illithid Scholar Fleeting Spirit Stratus Dancer Helping Hand...

Abuelo is interesting. It's a fine enough thread but would keep the blink theme in the gold slot. Do you think Kykar, Zephyr Awakener would also fit that describtion? Some cards I already consider adding: Pestermite Barbed Spike Grazilexx, Illithid Scholar Fleeting Spirit Stratus Dancer...

I feel like WUx Blink is one of the more parasitic themes I currently support in my cube. It has cards no other deck wants in both the enablers and the targets. So I am considering, right now, to turn Blink more into a subtheme of a more general tempo/aggro-control/skies theme. Then I would just...

Did you try Stormbind? Plays better than it reads.

@henkdetenk I would take Fiery Temper from that pack. Old school cubes often have few etb effects and removal is stronger there. I also love madness beyond reason, so I can't help myself anyway. If it wasn't Fiery Temper, I'd pick Disintegrate, Jilt or Deep Analysis, so this pack would lead me...

I just played some jumpstart games on arena and I got to play these two in the same turn: Zada, Hedron Grinder Fists of Flame I had six Saprolings and a random 3/2 on board. I drew eight cards and attacked for 51 trample damage. It was glorious. Now I am sitting here wondering how much effort...

I think Hunger should be fine as a common. it's essentially a one mana Oakenform that you have to work for a bit. It's not a combat trick really, because having creature die precombat is just so, so rare. I have no experience with Howl, but the fail case is a super expensive Ashcoat Bear, so I...

Thanks for these suggestions, I bet you could make something work if you really wanted to. but I decided to instead remove the sacrifice aspirations from green. I came to the conclusion, that it's probably enough when three colors are supporting sac.dec anyway. Oh, and I just have to replace two...

Scryfall searching is far less fun when you always have to type: -is:ub -is:dfc game: paper Exhausting

I am looking for a mono green card that either sacs creatures or profits of your creatures dying. Currently I only really have Evolutionary Leap for that. There are enough tokens and such, I think it might just need another card that makes you go for green in that deck. Oh, and it shouldn't be...

Sevinne's Reclamation Would that card be fine a lower powered list? It would seem pretty sick if you could hit strong three drops all the time like Flickerwisp or such, but it probably doesn't always work out like that. How does it compare, for example, to Call of the Herd?

Vampire Gourmand How do people like this card? I usually like sac outlets to be instant speed and free, but the payoff here is pretty nice, drawing a card and dealing at least two to the opponent. Also no mana investment.

So, these two cards are my right away perfect replacements for placeholder cards: Cat Collector Kykar, Zephyr Awakener which replace Wax-Wane Witness and Malcator, Purity Overseer. They are both just much better fits for their respective slots. In addition to what I wrote in the testing and...

Bro, try drafting it a couple times first. Overthinking is a safe route to never be happy with something.

I cited them both :D

Thank you, but it's already over and graded. I got 13 points for my work :)

They might start to excite you after you got used to the power level, which I assume will take like a draft or two.
