I really like that idea of the WW cartel aristocrat. Have you had any chance to try it out yet?

Ah Again, I'm looking for constructed not limited!

Oh absolutely! I just miss the ability to participate in a constructed meta sometimes, so just making the card pool of that particular constructed format accessible to all participants of the play group I think would be awesome. Another idea I suppose if you're like an association or a club is...

I'm looking for a solution to the phenomenon of there not being any systematic restriction to what is brought to the table, it to me becomes a completely arbitrary boundary. What is a "low powered fun" casual deck? When our ideas of fun low power differ, do we blame each others choice of deck...

This is something I find lacking in casual play in general, and something I don't know if there's a particularly good solution to. Tournament Play is sort of self adjusting because people have to conform to the meta in order to able to participate and people have a drive to be part of the meta...

"If competitive Magic is auto racing, EDH is a bunch of people revving their heavily-modded Ferraris at each other in a parking lot without going anywhere." Slap that on a t-shirt.

I think that's the best method probably. For me the advantage of having guild centered themes is that they lend a guiding hand during the draft. If you're dumb struck ed and really need to commit to a direction to take the draft this very pick it's nice to know that you should try to aim for...

Or dumping terastodon and unburial rites ;)

That sounds pretty reasonable. An instant 2/2 body is a pretty mean combat trick for just a single black mana.

Is there a risk of themes in all 5 colors making it difficult to read signals?

I think that might push it too much but I think I'd prefer the tokens to do the damage? Like two little artifact flame tongue kavus.

So should we start testing out some discard packages? I haven't cubed in a while so proxying up tripple thoughtseize, double kozileks double cabal + persecution could be a starter pack maybe? Sprinkle in a raven's crime, wrench mind, kolaghans command?

I think it gets stuck in the prison category rather than the prowess one? And we've already concluded that prison is kinda rough territory yeah?

A note on synergistic strategies and 2hg. You are drawing 2 cards per turn, so this can mean going through a larger amount of cards. If a combo piece exists so that works with the one combo piece + any one of these others them chances are higher that you find the combo. For example, my friends...

We've stated this before; designing cube environments that borrow from modern and legacy is hard, because how a single card can be such a huge part of the meta of a constructed format but is only ever a single copy in cube. There's only one brainstorm, there's only on thoughtseize etc.

That's tricky. I feel like it's both a matter of having there be enough support to make it worth picking up and building around, but even with support only 1 copy might not be enough to move into that strategy. The best thing is probably to look over that the support exists to make a deck that...

How's blasphemous act?

Doesn't it though? Doesn't active player choose in what order etb goes on the stack? (Also, excellent lists!)

What additional utility?

How would doomed traveller play with something like exalted? As in you staple exalted on the guy.
