    General Defining & Optimizing Complexity

    You know I've got a bigass pile of tokens with color coded sleeves for my players, but maybe this shit's unrelatable because I draft my cube consistently

    Someday I'll remember to use that feature, I keep on bothering to patch cubecobra about when the survey comes out :P

    Fateful absence but they always draw a relevant card? I think I prefer absence, and I think unexpectedly absent might just be better than both?

    Mordor's Cube (The Ship of Theseus)

    Sam's podcast did feel like a brutal takedown of everything I've ever tried to accomplish, but I realize that from a spike's perspective, you should assume the cube designer is shit at their job, and as such the things they talk about are utterly irrelevant to what is good in the format.

    Even if you are (And I don't think you are) this is worth testing

    Oh Also: Recruitment Officer I do like this card, but the specific themes my white section touches on (Artifact midrange, Aristocrats and Tokens) do drift away from creature cards with MV 3 or less. (Especially since the aristocrats part of white is at least in part noncreature spells that...

    The big thing is that they're HORRIBLE in multiples. Sure nobody's keeping a 1 lander with just these, but if you draw 2.... And maybe that's fine if there's 5 of these in the cube, but don't like, center your cube's fixing on these.

    Sanwell, Avenger Ace Autonomous Assembler Siege Veteran Steel Seraph I like these prototype designs, since more white artifacts is always nice and there's not a ton of flicker in my cube, so this is more a cute fun thing you can do with resto rather than the expected outcome. Siege Veteran I...

    The last one is the most exciting. I underestimate the power of ven lox to this day, and this doesn't add counters, but you can tap like, clues.

    This reminds me of Venerated Loxodon, but different. And COMMON, jeez!

    You want a weird hybrid between Linvala, Keeper of Silence and Najeela, the Blade-Blossom? (Which, if you've never played with Najeela it's real powerful. The tokens make tokens. Yes this only makes tokens when it attacks, I get it, but it still has the doubling effect) Man I remember when...

    Rhystic Studies did a great video about this (shocking I know) a while back: This is notably before the time we had new frames with each set, but a lot of what's here still makes sense Basically every frame since alpha has sacrificed "looking like magic" in order to communicate information...

    Maro with the based take: look if you wanted the old frames to actually communicate information, you'd use the new frames.

    This might actually be something? I've made similar cards before and while those had bigger numbers, they played well enough and they didn't have firebreathing, so you can just swing for like 10 if this lives. New art! I know most people just cut this for cut down but you know in your heart of...

    This is I think a bit below where I like blue creatures, but it does grow and it does have some insurance. I'm just generally not a huge fan of doomed traveler and the rest of this didn't move the needle for me. It might for you! Man why are they printing these after I cut +1/+1 counters from...

    This seems good I'm gonna post these, I'm not optimistic about any of them? Urza's is probably powerful but it doesn't actually spark joy for me.

    Okay sourcing 20 individual rainbow land arts is a lot of work, so I'm just going to link you Anthony Avon (No relation)'s art page: https://www.artstation.com/anthonyavon There's a metric ton of great material here (100 days of studies is great, and there's more)
