I don't think it's unplayable. It's a fair Zuran Orb. However, limiting it just to white majes it pretty parastitic compared to the Orb.

Zuran Orb was busted in the first revisions of my cube. I'm afraid it's still megabusted now but it might enable more Land Tax-based decks and other funky synergies. What do you think? Zuran Orb

I liked that control deck a lot, seems fun and very versatile. It inspired me to give my cube a second look as far as green/red control goes!

I don't recommend it. I have disliked the card both in draft and the ocassional constructed deck it made it in. A 1/1 deathtouch is less useful than it appears. You have this dream of the opponent attacking and you killing a creature but that's rare. More likely is a stall or a small mana...

Something that has come up from time to time is complexity and elegance in card selection. You, as a designer, know all about your cube. You can name all the cards, all the archetypes, everything. But our players don't. For example, I think self-mill, discard synergies, Laboratory Manic combos...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Devourer of Memory is cool, but it's probably too weak for my power level. It's a cool card in draft, though. Prized Amalgam may be it, though I wonder how narrow it is and if the slot would be better served by something else. But it's probably the most...

Wait, I didn't notice that! I don't think I have any stuff like that in my cube but it IS interesting.

You make good arguments for Bala Ged Recovery. What about these cards? I love Tempo decks but they lack a bit of oomph and I have a free slot: Coastal Piracy Reconnaissance Mission Bident of Thassa

I don't want to run Bala Ged Recovery because then random decks will take it instead of leaving the effect for those that need it.

One of the things I want to do is makes like this actually good: Dimir Dredge I feel it's close, but not quite.

Frantic Search is like a Thrill of Possibility that is actually good. If you want to play spells, dump lands from Loam and Land Tax or put creatures in the graveyard it's the best way to do it. Sure, it's card disadvantage, but you can always discard something that makes it neutral. To me it's a...

Ah thanks Nanonox! Don't worry, I don't mean it in a bad way. It's just that my critical skills are much better than, well, my design ones. I'm having a lot of fun building the cube and learning so I'm ok. And I'm glad you find my decks useful! I always love when others draft my cube, it gives...

Unsurprisingly, I'm a much better player than designer. I often know there are better ways to do things, but I don't have the skill or knowledge to implement them.

That's the thing Trainmaster. I want those decks to exist in my cube. But...they don't. So I want to see if I should cut it, like you say, or see if I can shift things a little

Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I've been thinking about what works and what doesn't so I can not just add good cards but see where they are needed. Stuff that isn't pulling its weight: Ripjaw Raptor Grapple with the Past Beast Within Fleetwheel Cruiser Platinum Angel Death Cloud And...

Clarion Spirit Seeker of the Way

I'm the opposite, I've found Regrowth always useful while Grapple with the Past is...questionable. The reason is that Regrowth can get back all your engines and other vital cards. It can replay Smokestack, a discarded Wildfire, Crucible of Worlds, etc. Part of the issue is that both fight for...

I don't think Lotus Petal is good in cube. I mean, in your dreams cenario where you cast Emry turn 1 all you get is a Birds of Paradise that makes you discard a card. I would rather run any other trinket for Emry than the petal. And I love the Petal, mind you.

Ok so at this point I need this many cards per section of the cube. 1 Dimir 1 Gruul 1 Selesnya 0-1 White 0-1 Blue 2-3 Black 1-2 Red Most notably, none of my cuts have been missed. For example, it took me a while to recognize that Renegade Railler was no longer in my cube. It wasn't adding...

Seeing your decks is amazing guys. You are so much better at drafting than I am! You actually draft in a logical manner, the famous "hard way", instead of forcing colours from the start like I do. I particularly love the spicy use of Devastating Dreams in this UR deck drafted by Dom. UR...
