I did think I like Lyev Skynight better in Azorius, but your comment about fast and slow decks with reflector mage does give me pause.

I need to do some more sketching out of ideas but I would like the advocate if I tried to make Gruul into a lands (land creatures) matter theme, with the two new Embodiments, Skarrg Guildmage, Nissa Worldwaker etc etc. Don't know if the density is there or if plays nicely with other themes...

I'm not sure there's enough colourless matters cards that I like for me to make it a theme I think. The only ones I like are: Worldbreaker Thought-knot seer Matter reshaper Blinding drone Eldrazi Displacer I'm probably going to add Worldbreaker as it's a fatty that ties in with graveyard...

I'd add firefist striker daring skyjek to the playable battalion list.

If you have the deck lists, they might be interesting to see. I do question the idea of 'splashing' two cards with double white in their costs though. I've never really understood the whole simic flash control thing. I think it probably only works your environment is slow enough that your...

Maybe profaner of the dead

millikin All the way

I'm probably more likely to be turning their giant eldrazi into elephants, blocking and killing them than having it sit in the sideboard. Or alternatively turning my eldrazi spawn into elephants to block and kill allies. Or surprise block their flyer or unblockable creature etc. etc.

Mind twist, make everybody miserable.

That would have been very very playable. I think it's okay for some of the slower cubes around here, I'm considering it.

Homelands could have been really good, as the flavour was there. If they'd designed it in modern times it could have been really interesting.

battle screech So Dom brought this up in reference to flashback cards he's running (where's your list Dom?). Anybody else have any experience with it in cube? It does seem pretty powerful, quite easily triggering prowess twice in the same turn. Seems nutty with any anthem effect, is it fun? Fair?

Quiet contemplation/teachings is quite slow and controlly - depends on what you're trying to do? Prowess is more aggressive and beatdown-y. The 'good' blue prowess creatures in peasant mostly want you to have some evasion, so quiet contemplation might be okay there I guess.? elusive spellfist...

Surge looks like it's going to be amazing in the penny pincher cube without all the free untap land spells. You could make a really strong spells matter theme in a lower powered cube. I thought surge was probably going to be terrible in cube, but it could be one of the more interesting things to...

re flashback, I'm playing quite a few, but my cube is heavily graveyard focused: think twice silent departure sever the bloodline blast from the past faithless looting firebolt devil's play krosan reclamation grizzly fate feeling of dread travel preparations lingering souls unburial rites...

How could I forget about: rotting rats

The Expanse books are just fantastic, would definitely recommend them.

That Chronomaton add looks great!

Black doesn't really have good self discard outlets, though if you want something, you might want to try cabal therapy. You're better off seeding self discard in blue, red and green, unless for some reason you want mono black reanimator?
