Yeah, I didn't see the lightning bolt in there for some reason when I skimmed it. You got the gist of what I was trying to say though: that there is a high degree of variability in the removal. While on the subject, the black kill spells that really make me pause are doom blade, go for the...

I support the above 100% --- Looking over the list it looks interesting. You mentioned graveyard/milling interactions, and there are a few cube lists you can look at for that. Here is a 360 unpowered, here is a 360 themed graveyard cube, this my 360 unpowered, and this is a useful...

I like jalira, master polymorphist; its nice to have another blue sacrifice outlet, and it looks like it could be a really fun build around for me.

We always had problems making psychatog playable. Nobody seems to want him: I think he lacks the flexibility compared to contemporary graveyard cards. That being said, I'm sure an enviornment that would want him could be enginered. He seems like he could do a decent job stalling the ground...

The only card I could think of that would somewhat meet these requirements would be ray of command. It fills a somewhat different role than a true instant speed control magic would, but it still feels like a powerful effect without being broken, and synergizes well with sacrifice pieces. My...

For reference, here is a channel fireball article explaing how it works in vintage masters. For a lower power environment, at least, it looks like it would just be a question of running enough ETB dudes, enough cycle cards, and enough cycle lands in your land section/utility land. I...

Kessig Cagebreakers has always been a fun way to end a game over here.

I would also like to give my support to both forbid and hinder. I also really like venser, though that slot has a lot of great choices. Somnophore is another good one.

One of the things that you could consider doing is looking at some of the places where you have broken singleton, and consider whether there are similar cards you could run instead, so as to increase diversity when drafting, and provide some brewing room for the drafters. It can be a helpful...

It looks like a fun card that I could see myself playing; and since I support a bunch of werewolves in R/G, it would probably be better than average in my cube as well. Unfortunatly, I don't know what I could justify cutting for it.

Ok, let’s start off with your proposed removal, which I think we can organize as such: 1). Actual Conditional Removal dream leash,spinning darkness 2). Dedicated Mid-game Removal ribbons of night, second thoughts 3). Cheap Early Game Removal last gasp,firebolt 4). Probably Just Plain Bad...

For whatever its worth, predator's howl is on my list of potential playables. Morbid is extremely easy for us to trigger, and the card moves at instant speed anyways, making it like some kind of weird pseudo combat trick--which is something my lower power environment is friendly towards. Its a...

So, these are the changes I am looking to make right now. Not sure when I will fit the planeswalkers in. Still need to polish the essentials first. lost in thought->vanishment enclave cryptolgist->runic repetition counterspell->runic repetition hedron crab->dakra mystic kird ape->stromkirk...

Well, if that’s one of your goals, I'll relink to the discussion in my cube thread, here. I came to the same conclusion that WOTC did with triple Innistrad, modern masters, and--apparently--vintage masters: weakened removal opens up a lot of design space. I could probably go a bit further and...

Ok than, I think we are looking at something like this: tamiyo, the moon sage, garruk relentless, Liliana of the Veil, sarkhan the mad, domri rade I'm thinking one of the gideons in white. Is gideon, champion of justice really that bad? Ajani COP was always decent, but a bit boring--I...

This does look a bit tough for aggro as it looks like only white and red have a lot of aggro 1 drops. Thats not always going to be a bad thing if you want your games to reliably go to the mid or late game. How has carrion feeder and cloudfin raptor been?

Yeah, but I doubt I would be playing wildspeaker, so maybe Xenagos has a chance. I'm really looking to push raw power level with the planeswalkers and want something that feels fresh and exciting to the player. Punch Garruck and BR sarkhan do that very well. I'm not sure vraska would, even...

Just to avoid confusion (too late for that), we use the CIPT guildgates as proxies for shocks. When I originally put that list up on cube tutor, I uploaded the excel file without giving it much thought. Since I no longer use that list, I've never gone back and cut out the guildgates to replace...

Yeah, it surprised me too. I think it was mostly because I never really pushed green aggro, so the colorless equipment was better in a lot of decks. When most of your 1cc beaters are red or white, going turn 1 red/white dude, turn 2 bonespliter, equip, than attack is going to be more...

Yeah, my main dilemma seems to be the colors combinations of the planeswalkers that fit best into the cube. BR sarkhan is probably the clearest choice, but then I already have a B/R sac. outlet, and it’s a bit tempting to run a B/G sac. outlet instead. Sarkhan has such great synergy with the...
