How about just Fires of Yavimaya + Rhythm of the Wild for gruul? If this is our "drafting while slightly intoxicated" list, why not just play a fun easy archetype that can use mostly flexible cards?

10/10 Includes Worf

You would copy the image link and then use "insert image" feature to upload the image. Observe: Obviously this picture is still huge since It's from scryfall and everything they upload is in HD. If you want to make it smaller, I guess you could go in and shrink the image in an image...

0/10 no custom set symbol.

Realistically speaking, you're rarely going to be casting a 4-mana creature and then another spell in the same turn. Lagonna-band Storyteller is closer to being on-rate than the mystics and has a relevant life-gain ability. Yes, I think I will gain 5 from putting my Elspeth Conquers Death back...

Casting Volcanic Hammer on a 2/1 flier.

In all seriousness, Curse of Bounty is technically playable, but it won't often be better than an enchantment with the text "creatures you control gain vigilance." It will be fine with cards like Imperious Perfect and Merfolk Looter which have tap effects you may want to activate multiple times...

Well of course these old cubes aren't going to align with synergy focused environments- they're just old powermax cubes! Back then, they didn't have access to a lot of the great creatures and stuff we have today. You don't run a bad card like Order of Leitbur because you want too, you run it...

I was saying to avoid it because it draws a card, not simply because it's a 1/2. It sees at least a little play in every format it's legal in other than legacy only because it can (kind of) cantrip. I appreciate the time you spent on this. It was interesting to look at the history of Savannah...

Thalakos Seer The double blue is a bit rough but this seems good in Ninjas since it's usually not getting blocked and draws a card when it leaves play.

That's kind of why I put it in air quotes. A 1/2 for 1 is better than the baseline for what you'd expect for 1 mana, and it's certainly better than a 1/1 body, if only by a little bit.

The more I think about this, the more I've come up with the idea of "Powermax on Spells, Low Power Creatures." Like Erik pointed out, a lot of the powerful spells we still play today were printed during the "early magic" period. We didn't start seeing a lot of good creatures (that weren't...

Well, I have toyed with the idea of building a cube using mostly older cards before. The issue is that I've only been playing magic for the last 7 or so years so I don't really have many cards printed before 2012. I'm not as familiar with the card pool outside of the modern-legal sets, so...

I would recommend looking at 2 things: -The Sets for which you are Nostalgic. -Cubes from the Mid to Late 2000's. Basically, figure out what cards you liked from the RAV era, and figure out what made you love them and why. Then, start building a cube with them. Here are some cubes from cards...

Thank You! Gavin Verhey made an Instagram Post talking about some stuff that will be in Ikoria Commander. Apparently, there will be creatures with the following types: -Trilobite -Goat Hydra -Badger Dinosaur So apparently WOTC is combining their Reptiles and Mammals now type-wise. Hopefully...

I've almost cut this guy like 3 times since I've added him, but I haven't yet. He's a fine mana sink and a decent beater who wears Bonesplitters pretty well. I'd say he's fine if you're trying to up your density of 1-drop red creatures, but he's only getting played as an aggro card. The counters...

A cautious yes to Eldrazi Skyspawner and no to Kozilek's Predator. Eldrazi Skyspawner is pretty good as an evasive attacker that makes creatures. Although I think it may be a little below the power level of the rest of your cards, I'd surmise that it will do fine if people are playing Nest...

I think the Whiptongue Frog from the first set is just a translation error.

I've been toying with the idea of designing (key word: designing) a cube using primarily cards and mechanics printed before the year 2007. No planeswalkers, no hyper-efficient creatures, just good old fashioned over-costed 3/3s and over-powered spells. And Molten Hydra. And Masticore. Arguably...

Could you be a little more specific about what you mean by "cards that care about creatures?" All of these care about creatures... Winding Way Pelt Collector Lovestruck Beast Gaea's Anthem Vivien's Arkbow ...but they all do it in very different ways.
