I'm going over what exiles in my cube and what doesn't, after feedback that the White vs graveyard matchup felt pre-game one sided, as essentially all of the white removal spells exile, and a few others besides. Here's all the exile interaction I run: Declaration in stone Leyline Binding The...

It's not often I put the call out here, but does anyone have any Incidental Graveyard Hate Cards? (tm) Power Level Agnostic, I can custom up anything that doesn't really work for me. Ideally things that can exile more than one card over the course of their lifespan, but not the whole ass...

Shout out to Dominaria's Judgement for pointing out that the +1 on the Eternal Wanderer is so sweet. Flickering an opponent's thing slides it until THEIR end step! Shame I don't love the rest of what that card has going on

Not to say you can't handle advanced yikes, but if all for of those were just D6 on a card in front of me, I'D be confused! :D This is also different if there's a D6 for +1/+1 counters and three separate punchcard discs that say Lifelink/Deathtouch/Shield, the board's a lot more reasonable...

I love the second version, that makes it really clear if somehow the spell gets bounced or put on top of the library while on the stack without being countered.

https://scryfall.com/search?q=o:"oil+counter"&order=rarity Here's a helpful link if you aren't sure either way. Worth noting that I think you're 100% in the clear for noncreature artifacts. We were talking on the discord yesterday about Charge Counters vs Oil Counters, and in summary: there's...

Modin out here stunting on us, I'm happy we draft my cube every 4 weeks and he's out here hosting his own cube con

Okay good. That is how I wanted it to work. Now hilarious: what happens if you Unsubstantiate it? I assume a spell "being returned to your hand" is it "not resolving", but can it get exiled properly if it's in your hand? (I ruled it gets exiled, I don't think magic has an equivalent situation)

Just to prove there's people on the other side of this: My drafters love picking lands so much I've had to add more (mutliple times) And even to this day, we still joke how much you need to adjust your pick order if you're sitting near certain people.

I've cubed with Engineered Explosives to success, but note that if you have a focused token deck it can feel less like an artifact that sometimes kills some stuff and more like a dedicated token hate card.

Talking with Blacksmithy sometimes boils down to "Well, I know ancestral is too much, but I'm sure it's fine if it only draws 2 cards"

Worth noting at that point since you didn't Coalesce it, you've got a sorcery on the battlefield. IDK where it goes in that case, HOPEFULLY back where it came from. Also wait what happens if you flicker an unearth creature? Same wording.

Oh also

I'm helping my roommate build a cube right now and it's so...so true

Every now and again I try and take a step back from my cube and see how we're doing on the old complexity budget. Ah, well on into the red and plummeting, eh? Business as usual then. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't try and keep things reasonable where I can. Inspired by an offhand comment on...

It is, but the issue is it becomes the only card that matters in a game. I cut it from my cube when someone built a removal light, "as many copies of faithless looting as I can" and oneshot aggro decks all the way to 2-1

Rebel Salvo ;) Goblin Engineer is sweet and worth building around, Breya's Apprentice is solid but also fine on it's own, as is Pia Nalaar/Pia and Kiran Nalaar, and there's a HOST of multicolor cards (mostly UR) My personal favorite of which is Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer. Yes I will turn all...

IDK, this deck seems pretty strong, but I'm unsure of how it stacks up against the meta, you know?

Okay I did some digging of my own. Caution: power level may vary, some of these designs are 10+ years old:
