Some more ideas of how to show it's a slightly different card. Most of them are very minimal changes.

Which one do you prefer? I added the * to indicate that it's slightly modified. The second one has bold so that you aren't wondering what's different. I'm only altering cards to reduce token types, so several are gonna be like "When derp enters the battlefield, create a 1/1 white Human Solider...

GU color identity, but that's a blue card right there. Those creature types are so blue.

On the topic of dragons, I had an idea to make a cube that's like Kaalia vs ???. It would pack some sweet angels, demons, and dragons as mid-top end in W, B, R. The issue is that I'm not sure what blue and green are doing and I'm also not sure how the creature types matter other than Kaalia...

How many cards? If it's less than 2000 or something that fits on a table, I'd be tempted to shuffle them all and fire a draft up!

Long game aggro plans? I have equipment and was thinking that +1/+1 counters could work, too. How do you guys feel about the DMU archetype setup? W go wide, U spells, B yard, R aggro, G domain G domain is a little weak in cube because a mana base can enable domain without spells needed. A...

Alright. I have it downloaded and it's at the same time.

I looked around a bit, but didn't see it. Does this link have Prototype frame?

I think this depends on familiarity with the frame. Personally, I don't use any draft matters cards and didn't even recognize the frame. A new keyword doesn't necessarily need a specialized frame, either way.

Which ones are you most concerned with? I have some reservations about some, but I think that a small change to these can be a huge difference in power level.

into your "hand"

But it's a pretty accurate replacement for how snow mana works. Unfortunately, I don't know how we could get a similar effect to Abominable Treefolk. You could probably make "Basic Artifacts" that produce mana pretty convincingly. I didn't recognize what border this was and I thought it was...

There's all the LD lands like Wasteland and whatnot. Probably Armageddon and Ravages. A pillage variant. Boseiju. Yeah, I hated doing that for the same reason, but PodLand is so cool. I think that Velrun is right that the utility effects need some cost tweaking. I know someone here keyworded...

@blacksmithy Looking into custom powered cube. Cards get more custom as you go. First few are examples of each fixing cycle. I'd love advice on the last 10. Yep! Trying to get an Abzan vibe, but I can probably find something with some more foliage. That's up to your imagination. True...

@blacksmithy Looking into custom powered cube. Cards get more custom as you go. First few are examples of each fixing cycle. I'd love advice on the last 10.

You could make it a 3/1 for 2 to make it a little scarier and make the exiling effect only at sorcery speed. This gives your graveyard opponent a window of opportunity to do something, but the creature is pressuring their life total in the meantime. You could make the card a black Scooze...

I had the same thought. One mana cyclers and Reanimate, etc, are much more playable in nontraditional reanimator. For sure lol. "Lower power" mostly meant not turn 1-2 unbeatable bomb. Those are still sweet on turn 4. This is my main reason to lean towards the lower mana value method. The...

Looting into Reanimate into Archon of Atraxabrand isn't going to work in cube unless you're on some sort of powermax. Even then, this style of reanimator deck leads to a very "did you combo?" kind of game. The reanimator player either gets there and doesn't. The game can feel almost like a...

"I take your best guy" is a really powerful effect, especially when it can't be Disenchanted. I'd like to toss Lay Claim into the ring. I think that Welcome could be better than Vapor Snare depending on synergies and curve, but Vapor Snare will have a more even power band. It's going to do what...

Yet. I had a similar idea for Desert, Snow, Sphere, Gate with land types, but ended up preferring something like white Theros, blue Mirrodin, black Innistrad, red Amonkhet/Deserts, and green Zendikar. Like 60% of cards in that color from that plane and like 20% each from the "allied" (mix your...
