Actually, there is (not sure anymore about this) no subtract and no dividing by (definitely sure) as my professor told me when I asked what I did wrong on a exam. Only adding and multiplying. I divided by something instead of multiplying by 1/something...

I do not know how to post the vampire legendary. I like the abilities. It encourages attacking and is quite balanced. A bit mana wise expensive, a tad weak, but the ability is strong and fun

You mean stdev.p, stdev, stdev.s and many others? I will not whine about excel, but this naming, and the minor difference is exactly what I mean by mistakes will be made...

They all do very similar things, with some small tweaks. Maybe kicker is broad, but having many different functions which are similar makes reading programming code a pain. Especially if you revisit the code for the first time after a while. Many times it is easier to code 2 lines which are easy...

Where to begin? When not talking to someone in person it is harder to communicate. Sometimes a message gets lost, sometimes some information is suddenly added by the reader. Nowhere did I say that the unique mechanics sell sets. I only said they wanted (or a better word, increased) the amount...

No point not proven. It could be that it is more flavorful (Is it really? If you have to use a name of the mechanic to sell flavor you are doing something wrong). However, it brings unnecessary mental load. In standard it won't matter at all, but for cubes or eternal formats it is an unnecessary...

It's just another kicker variant, similarly to overload. I am confused why they need different names for essentially the same mechanic.

Ouch. Yeah, luckily you can choose not to play it. Still, not playing a card is a bad outcome.

The assasin is a prime example of how hard it was in the early days to play mono green. Those pesky utility creatures were a pain. Still, it is a very fair card.

Sharpie it to target creature?

Diabolic Servitude Exiles so no shenanigans. That said. A combo of 3 cards, which costs 5 mana to scry one and draw one is actually okay in my book. If it happens everytime then yeah, brake it up. But maybe remove the life gain draw creature?

Yeah I knew these two. Unlike the llanowar elves variant you most likely never want more than a few of these weird ones in your deck. For Umbilicus and the elves I can understand the desire to have more than 4 copies in your deck.

Yeah, I am surprised they gave it a new name. Almost like they want you to build a cube with it...

You mean Umbilicus? It works great with your own etb, but also the opponents ones.... Furthermore, if most of your cards are cheap or grim monolith then it is a great card. However, it is only for slow cubes. It works well with stack synergies like Tangle wire I think those strategies are...

Note that in the old days blue was often not strong as mono color. It was/is great in card drawing and stealing. They shit the bed when they added strong creatures to blue. Also some mistakes were made by letting blue be the artifact color ally instead of the new kiddo red. The feeling I have...

It is strong because it has creature destruction unlike in the old days. I cannot imagine that the deck would be strong enough without the creature destruction.

Also be careful with combinations of strenghts/weaknesses which makes a color garbage. Green could do without creature destruction because its creatures where the biggest, cheapest, and so on. Sadly, this broke down when wotc decided to make creatures stronger overall in all colors.

Actually, I like it! Add the great polarizer: Smokestack This is not sarcasm. I think a bit of landdustruction once in a while is healthy. Especially if it is viable in your cube to have a deck that relies on many lands in play. Or use it to negate Goblin guide . Or add Rivalry to negate...

You want vanilla creatures and so on. Maybe you should look at https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/lessons-from-a-block-cube.3372/ A block/set cube has not many keywords, which makes it much easier to grok for players unknown to the cube.

Mine is low powered. Even while it has broken urza cards...
