    easily looter il-kor faithless, frantic search, thirst, compulsive are cool too maybe we should threadjack this into "supporting reanimator / dredge / threshold / graveyard themes" + how many discard outlets. i think the trick is making these cards actively desirable in other archetypes, for...

    every cube needs some cheap beaters that do nothing but attack and block! if i am not mistaken, adding some of these, along with improving guys like Tarmogoyf and Wild Nacatl, is one of this forum's great innovations. in grim mongo cubes, the complexity of value or activated ability guys is no...

    yep -- there is a cost for strong cards' activated abilities that cost is 0 which do we put in our cubes: barrage of expendables goblin bombardment

    General What cards are you testing from M15?

    Exactly, it more has to do with people's emotional connection towards the card. This sounds stupid but it is likely true. Double Guide rubs people the wrong way because it's significantly narrower than Cackler and double Figure is unpopular because it's weak (which also makes it narrower), both...

    bad fit in e-domain for power-level reasons imo, X will be reasonably large and he'll just end the game. grenzo needs to be in a format more constrained with mana and the only cubes for which this is true are the higher power ones on here. i dunno, i like this set. dack's duplicate is sweet...

    I tried it and nobody played with it, maybe more positive experiences elsewhere I also like Diamond Valley Island of Wak-Wak etc. There are only ~500 lands in the game and going through all of them for ULD is something I'm sure y'all have done before. (That's where I'd place these cards if...

    Having more than two Cacklers seems kinda boring. Two is the right number experientially. One is the right number for most one-drops and as both Figure of Destiny and Goblin Guide were unpopular as two-ofs I am not sure it has a simple relationship with power level.

    i may kick it up to 30, the fact is fetch and shock is a cooler dynamic than "play my buddy land" in cube and fixing is the only part of cube i have interest in power-maxing

    Doubling up on one-drop beaters has (as I've covered elsewhere) worked way worse here than I thought it would Crater Hellion is cool, does anyone else play this?

    General What cards are you testing from M15?

    I still feel a little constrained in my red section. A playable 6+-drop that isn't Inferno Titan is exactly what I was looking for. Now it just needs more 1's, oddly enough

    nothing all that radical or revolutionary, just an environment with slightly lower power level and flattened power curve to compensate. whatever i'm trying to do here http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/everyone-come-look-at-and-work-on-this-communal-cube.580/ (please contribute!)
