When I first built my cube with 2 sets of fetches, 2 sets of duals and 5 canopy lands, I also thought fixing would be "too good". Slighty greedy 3-colour decks were the norm in draft testing and I had just added more fixing. Would my cube end up with greedy multicolour piles? As it turns out...

I like Corpse Dance a lot but it only works with either very strong monsters or cards that have an ETB effect. Which are the cards I avoid in an attempt to make for a "fair" Reanimator package.

Is there a functional difference or reason to have both? I'm just baffled to have both "gold" and "treasures" if they are both identical gameplay-wise, specially when Ixalan was just two sets ago!

What is the difference between gold and treasures?

Momentary Blink with Cascade seems brutally hilarious haha

Keep in ming it's a 5/5 Wall. It's my bane as an aggro player in Historic.

Ah, what I mean is that there's no decision-making with it. It's just good on all fronts. It doesn't require you to think or plan because it has haste, deathtouch, cannot be chump-blocked, kills planeswalkers and stops the random deck of its heyday (Fog.dec) for free. It doesn't make the game...

It's very dumb of them to print these kind of cards, but it's unlikely to be as broken as it seems at first glance. You need 8 cards in your graveyard for it to be better then Regrowth, 12 or 16 before it gets into "I win" territory. The problem I see is that you can play the same cards over...

Kuronos reminds me of Questing Beast: All power and no play. Storm's fury looks strong. I'm not into the market for a 4 mana red wrath, but it is a four mana red wrath.

You guys convinced me, it's in!

It's mostly going to be cheated into play, so that's a bit why I'm asking. I want Reanimator to be more value/control focused but Massacre Wurm was too strong and I can't jam 10 Crater Hellions in my cube. Even though I would love to, because Crater Hellion is awesome.

I just don't think a cube needs more than two Smokestack effects and I don't see much of a reason to play a weaker gold card over the namesake card and Braids. What can you tell me about this card? How swingy/baneslayery is it? Angel of Serenity

Sure, but it's not necessary for cards to be thinly veiled copies of previous work for them to play well. I mean, it's not tropes that bother me. What Throne of Eldraine and Theros do is reference well-known stories or characters. You have knock-off Robbin Hood, knock-off Arthur and knock-off...

I must admit I don't find much to like in sets that take so heavily from previous work. It seems fake and wonky to have "Greek mythology with the serial numbers blurred out". I did not like Throne of Eldraine for a similar reason: A fairytale world is a good idea, taking well-known fairytales...

I'm doing some small but interesting changes. For example: Think Twice Unburial Rites Riftwing Cloudskate These are all interesting, synergy-boosting cards that make the cube better in subtle ways. Every deck might be interested in Think Twice, but it's specially good with discard. Unburial...
