Is there perhaps something here about the way you draft your cube? I will almost always grid draft or Rochester/snake draft. If all picks are public information and if we refer to the contextual creature removal examples above: if your opponent drafts some bomby hexproof creatures you are more...

Code names is on my list to get too. I have Stone Age, it's great, would recommend it.

The easiest way to do this is probably with damage spells and -x/-x as you can identify the 'right' magic 'toughness'. More ideas please!

I remember roots being quality removal in homelands drafts!

If you don't have artifact ramp green becomes super attractive (which might be fine) but you already have colourless ramp wit bouncelands and storage lands. You might also want to consider thawing glaciers Myriad landscape Krosan verge Blighted woodland

Though on second thoughts if you have a bunch of early game cycling then you are already feeding the graveyard and are ripe to take advantage of it.

Threshold could work in the slower environment but I'm not sure there's a huge number of payoff cards and then you open up the graveyard as a theme, which while possible is a whole other theme. Madness would need a lot of support, again doable though. Great post Chris, if you did have an...

The green anti creature auras suggestion in the removal auras thread reminded me of an idea I had the other day about some spells matters green creatures that have interaction with +1 counters: quirion dryad Managorger hydra Forgotten ancient Now green isn't the most spells friendly colour but...

You might find some inspiration here in my decision cube which has some similar principles http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/24318 (Far from complete, tuned or unfinished and a bit of a labour of love, but it did make me think about how I influenced my main cube) And also in Laz's draw a card...

You are right to restrict ramp, otherwise it becomes about who can ramp into their threats the fastest. You are right about identifying turn X as well, though I think it should be turn three. If you have a high density of bouncelands, that's when they come online. Also is when you start making...

I like this idea more with heliod's pilgrim As cheaper, can be blinked, bounced and reanimated.

Does anybody think an article series comparing similar cards, and how they interact with different themes would be useful? I was thinking along the lines of clone varients for instance, with pro's and con's for each of them.

Too powerful for me. Prefer fauna shaman Cast two creatures a turn? kor skyfisher Dream stalker Etc

DURDLE!

I wish boros had some better options too, it has similar problems with Gruul. I think it stems from the historical approach to red being one dimensional. Hopefully something that might get better now there is more a more interesting focus to red design.

This is the approach I've taken with lands like Kessig wolf run etc. So I don't have to run wasteland. You miss out on cool cards but avoid ruining games by wasteland. I can see it's a similar thing with artifacts, it's difficult getting the balance right sometimes though.

Well I'm running 12 of the cards listed in the op, so yes. Depends on the build of your cube, as some of them aren't poison, and some of them I'm happy to be potential last picks. Like Japanh says, lots of playables.

trygon predator Nice card people will feel happy playing and another way to add artifact and enchantment removal. Fairly unexciting, difficult to justify in a gold spot, doesn't support any particular themes. Don't play it, but like it. utter end Like it. Exiles, so good against recursion...
