The point is, regardless of whether either one is elegant or not, which one is more elegant. I would pick the one with less text. If you wouldn't print either one, that's fine. I probably would, but then I don't care about the color pie as much as MARO.

Deck Wont save on cubetutor, so screenshotted it. First Picked Crow Storm and went for it. Deck is bad. Build is wrong, but shows where I wanted to go. Tried to wheel a Dream Halls and failed, but probably would have gotten it IRL. That would have made Cruel Ult more playable. So would...

Doesn't stop the resto combo on its own, but without haste on kiki, that works. Could even safely give the the token haste.

Yeah, I thought about that, but I don't really like the "return" wording. But then I used it for the other card anyways... Does this miss a bunch of other targets that we really want it to hit? Humans has gotta hurt. Probably better to cut Zealous Conscripts and take off that part. I like the...

Stitch Together Working on "fair" reanimator.

This is a fair point for people who are somewhat familiar with the history of the game, but I would think it wouldn't apply to brand new players so much, especially if introduced to Magic through cube (though of course this isn't the case for most players). Also I would think the novelty would...

Its strange that so many people seem to think that Lightning Bolt is inherently more fun than Shock. I think its a major misunderstanding that people think (traditional) cubes are fun because they run powerful cards. I guess its just happy accident that the early powermax cubes happened to be...

Variations on that custom mana rock from ages ago that wasn't really a mana rock: Flavor needs fixed, and needs a conspiracy style artifact frame.

Well, I have to work...

What I was thinking as a starting point was: Everybody gets a free set of power (+= a few cards) Completely forget color balance. Everybody will run blue, give them enough blue cards. Every archetype would play ancestral recall if it could, so just let them.

Possible deck? This is probably unlikely to come together quite like this, and is it good? I think there's like 42 cards, too Zeros 1 Mox Diamond Ones 1 Chromatic Star 1 Goblin Welder 1 Executioner's Capsule 1 Faithless Looting 1 Entomb Twos 1 Baleful Strix 1 Everflowing Chalice 1...

I realize there are always going to be cards with higher impact than others, but this sounds like something I'd like to avoid or at least de-emphasize in my current cube. Though I don't really have problem with this if it means that aggro is favorable until control decks get to 6 lands, if it...

You do need to run Cogwork Librarian, though. At least 1.

I love Unexpected Potential. Let's cards occasionally get played in decks that they normally wouldn't. And you can splash for a 1 drop if you need too. Worldknit pretty much just creates goodstuff.dec, but can be fun every once in a while.

I was planning on bringing up eldrazi as an extreme example of this(yes, I like reductionist arguments). Emrakul is basically a more interesting way to say "I hit 15 mana, so I win." Do you really wan't the game to drag out forever after that? Probably not. Absolutely, and I don't intend...

A 20/20 creature for 2 mana is inherently "more powerful" than a 1/1 for 2 mana, regardless of environment (for the most part). A 1/1 may be broken in some environments, and the 20/20 may be unplayable, but the 20/20 is more likely to create a removal check situation, where you need to have a...

This is a good point, but I'd argue it only work for some of these cards. Sol Ring is possibly more powerful when you get to use it 10 times, but in a format that ends on turn 5, sol ring starts you at turn 3 (without thinking about the math, may be off). But you could certainly design an...
