What about playing more Figures rather than things like Jackal Pu(m)p, Elite Vanguard, Goblin Guide? They can be played in more decks on average and are more interesting and give aggro decks a good endgame.

The problem is I already have a mild humans theme (1x Champion, 1x Necromancer, and then max humans in white and a few in other colors) and I dabbled with playing 4x Champion and I liked it less than just playing Savannah Lions/Elite Vanguard/etc. since there were so many times I would draw a...

So I've been pretty unhappy with my white section lately. The white weenie decks are good when they come together, but they can be difficult to assemble and there isn't much incentive to go into that archetype. On top of that a lot of white creatures only go into that sort of weenie aggressive...

Hate it.

Wow thanks for the write-up. This sounds fun, I can't wait to test it out and report back.

Lifebane Zombie nuuuuuuuu! Is your cube list up to date? Cuz Bloodgift Demon has GATTA go. And call me crazy but lately I have been hating Vampire Nighthawk and here's why. Since it requires you to be heavier black and now with the Gravecrawler recursion package my black decks want a more...

Well Spectral Procession is basically unbeatable so i'm kinda surprised to see that you're not running it. A while back when I asked my friend Jesse what he thought the best white card for White Weenie was he responded "I just take Spectral Procession over everything; every time I play it my...

I'm just not convinced that devotion is "there" yet. I know nobody wants to hear it but it might make more sense to wait until the block is finished and then assess what devotion cards are playable and if devotion is even worth designing around; but for now I just haven't seen any convincing...

The best aggro deck in my cube is Zoo by far. Unfortunately, it's extremely difficult to build since our playgroup values fixing absurdly high. Mono-red hasn't ever really been a good deck in my cube simply because it has an awful matchup against green, which is probably our best color. I've had...

Yeah man I pretty much agree with everything you are saying. Power 9 is like the worst shit ever and you wouldn't believe how many times I heard someone over at MTGS spew some stupid shit like "Just include more answers for Power in your cube idiot." Like, wtf could possibly even answer Power...

Honestly Koth was quite bad for us and I would slam Bolt over him always. Bolt is much less of a color/archetype commitment and although there are many cards with the same effect, none are as efficient. There are plenty of better 4s than Koth imo but not many 1 mana spells can go toe-to-toe...

Two great six drops that I don't see in many cubes lists are Draining Whelk and Primeval Bounty. They are both pretty fun and powerful without being Titan-levels of ridiculousness. The last spell that I Draining Whelked in a cube match was Craterhoof Behemoth ^_^. And the last time I had...

Thanks for the feedback. Keep in mind I don't consider constructed formats when designing custom cube cards, I only consider the particular custom cube I am building. Black in this cube is quite graveyard/recursion based as you might have noticed. Because of this, there is substantial amounts of...

Some of the black cards I made for my custom cube in progress. If the images violate any compliance or anything feel free to take them down, I made them on my computer solely to try my hand at design, nothing more.

In my experience LftL is too durdly to work most of the time. Just playing it for value doesn't work often enough and just isn't worth inclusion most of the time. And recurring Strip Mine is very unfun so it's pretty much lose/lose.

True-name Nemesis too strongk. I love Suddenly Absent, Toxic Deluge, and especially Ophiomancer. Curse of shallow graves might have some potential as well, but Witch Hunt needed to cost 4 to be good. Restore seems a little too narrow to be any good.

Coiling Oracle is harder to cast. We never play U/B decks that aren't reanimator, and I recently cut that for the gravecrawler suite. Honestly non-reanimator U/B just sucks in cube imo.

Tymaret has been pretty sweet for us.

If your finishers are too strong you could try cutting Frost Titan, Grave Titan, and Batterskull. I don't play any of those because whenever they came out it was just like #ggSwagNoscopeNoob. Your other finishers looks fine, but you could add in Deadeye Navigator because he is really fun...
