    Had more time to search. There's a decent discussion around 2007 and/or Ravnica style ideas starting here: https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/cbs.286/page-159#post-89712 Quite a few thoughts on how to approach such a thing and how to get your format to function in a similar way, although the...

    Yes (and no).

    I wouldn't mind seeing more. It's a nice value mechanic in retail. If they put enough density at common, it could crack some slower cubes. Agreed and I'd like to hear why from anyone who thinks it is. There's the mildly exciting Promised Kannushi that displays the flexibility of the mechanic...

    I'm questioning what you said because it sounds, to me, very questionable. If you want to defend how the mechanic is broken, I'm open to that. I meant Digger, as Soulshift is a delayed Gravedigger, basically, except that the Digger can get back any creature. Not what he said. 5 color slivers...

    It's only as narrow as the overwhelming majority of other tribal cards. I'd hardly say it's the most narrow. Your preferred kind of tribal is a relatively recent style. A delayed "most narrow" Gravedigger is hardly "really powerful." Has anyone said this? Is that why the most expensive...

    Kirblinx's Type 4 Communal Stack

    I used to have a Type 4 stack but found that the creatures and ways of ending the game were always suffering due to their lack of Flash and general vulnerability to get X-for-1'd by sweepers. How have you addressed this?

    Soulshift would be one of my favorite mechanics if there were more worthwhile cards with it. GBw tribal graveyard card advantage? Love that! Forked0Branch Garami This one's sweet! And a few others are kinda ok...

    Hopefully they realize the original block sold poorly because the designs were shit, not the thematics. I didn't even know this lol. Hopefully right. Neon for the newbies, Kamigawa for the real ones.

    Exactly. I'm nervous, but it's fine as long as I get some ninjas. Hopefully they go ninja crazy and there's a ton at common and uncommon for my plummeting power level.

    Sanctum Weaver has a great floor and it isn't A then B. The rest sort of sucks. A lot of the enchantment stuff is good with density, but the density isn't nearly as free to amass as it is for artifacts. More cards that count enchantments currently in play rather than ones that come down after...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Just alright if played fairly. I wouldn't want it tinkered in against me, but I'd rather face this than your Triniform or God-Pharaoh's Gift.

    This is the whole mechanic for me. Creates all the tension for both sides.

    Please stop designing new sets unless it's obvious how they will benefit me. Thanks.

    All the upcoming set are officially cancelled unless Hello Kamigawa has good Shrines in it. The next set is now Theros Way Beyond Death featuring the Enchantmentcraft keyword and more black devotion. Devotion has been mysteriously removed from nonblack colors. After that will be Game of...

    As I'm looking at it, I began to worry about that. I had already decided that I'll keep a bit higher enchantment density for this, even if it doesn't work out as a full deck. "Enchantmentcraft" keyword would really help.

    Y'all's power levels are so much higher than mine lol. I'm gonna add enchantments to the list and see how it works, but the A then B mechanics and the lack of enchantment creatures compared to artifact creatures are two big strikes against it.

    Yeah. The artifact deck is a lot easier to quietly make some swaps. Debating if the enchantment deck is worth the effort.

    The Black Cube

    The future list is much lighter on the artifacts. I wanted a Mirrodin vibe from the current list, hence the more artifact focused cards. https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/6122f7fa3e6e1a103df54540 Not sure how I should organize the lists. I guess I could swap this one for the main one now. Going...

    I absolutely do. Just not on my MtG cards. And I'm much more of a Hello Kitty kinda gal.

    Anyone executing a successful artifact and or enchantment theme? What percentage of your cube is artifact or enchantment? Theros is ~33% enchantments, Mirrodin is ~45% artifacts, Mirrodin2 is ~33% artifacts. Surely we don't need that high. A little more concerned about enchantments, as...
