What about buried alive?

Right. Which could very well lead us to the conclusion it's a borderline staple in any cube with Bx yard. I sometimes think that about Demonic Tutor, as well. It scales to your power level and provides some consistency. Similar to Entomb, it's pretty pricey for a card I don't already own. 50+ USD.

That guy and Daemogoth Woe-Eater, along with a tip from Inscho to try Scuttling Doom Engine+Heart-Piercer Manticore has me excited. This was actually a good reminder to scryfall for some power-matters type cards.

True. It isn't card disadvantage to Flashback a 4/4 Beast for 2BGGGG, but if you're going to consider Entomb worthwhile at that point, then the thread's conclusion is that Entomb is basically a staple. Which could be correct.

I'm perusing your list for ideas. How are: extractor demon zombie infestation squee, goblin nabob dismissive pyromancer mother bear genesis multani, yavimaya's avatar ashiok, dream render molten-tail masticore bag of holding mimic vat mindslaver ? Some cards I was genuinely curious about...

goblin engineer mythos of brokkos I agree that we're thinking too small. Huge reanimator threat is the classic. Anything other than that needs to recover the card disadvantage, like the Escape Titans, or make up for it in tempo potential, like Vengevine. I also like the Flashback reanimation...

I'm so used to breezing through effects that I'd never notice something like that. Choose... Ok, Entwine... Return... permanent... graveyard... Command zone... Got it.

Yeah, they're pretty different, it was just the closest power level comparison I could get. Boggers definitely outshines Spore Mound, for example. Both of them feel a bit removal checky, with Boggers probably being the worse offender because the threat is usually more immediate. Boggers could...

I'd imagine it's better because the worst case scenario is better than those, a 5/5 trampler for 5. The average to best case scenario is on par with those two, a huge attack. It does lose out on the immediacy that Overrun (or 11 mana Kamahl) offers. It feels like the beast fits into more...

I actually really like this guy, but my players don't know what Food tokens are... Life gain support AND payoff, with a real cost. I like that he isn't evasive, making it harder to utilize his own lifelink to crank out Demons. I though this was the strangest grave hate I'd ever seen, but...

That stuff all looks good to me, too. I like the element of fear that some really juicy combos add. Heart-Piercer+Doom Engine is particularly cute in that list. Wish Gargadon had reminder text for suspend :( Master kind of fits the combo potential idea, doesn't it? I keep going back and...

If you're looking for mild grave hate, Scavenger is great. Otherwise, it doesn't have much appeal in my opinion. Crasher probably isn't too aggressive unless you're really, really fetchy. "B/G aggro graveyard" is pretty open ended. You might want to check out my cube, in the signature, as...

How do you feel Remorseful Cleric and Angel of Finality play? I'm always scared to put in a yard wrath. I'll probably be back later, as I'm trying to see how deep I can make The Black Cube. Shame to hear the combo aspect has fallen off. Would you say that you're seeking a somewhat "fair" combo...

I thought this, too, but the number of decent french vanilla beaters is way higher than straight up vanilla. Still, tokens and a few vanillas is pretty useful. A 4/4 with a chance to +1 ETB is plenty decent. Feels like a Yu-Gi-Oh card that cares about Normal Monsters, if anyone has experience...

But more mana fixing would be good and your players don't need more playables. It's the same argument. It isn't all free real estate, that's why no one does it that way. This assumes it's an effective sideboard strategy, which I don't think it is unless your power level is such that you'd want...

I suspect you're going to find yourself not wanting to grab these lessons more often than you realize. Onder said repeatedly that they're free real estate, but that's not right. Your cube slots are your real estate, not your drafter's sideboards. You're going to be missing out on 10-15...

Solid for The Black Cube. Mild grave hate is always appreciated and this one adds some value to it. Thie is actually might trigger in The (theoretical) Green Cube OK. Not as many as I thought, but some value beats no value.

My thoughts exactly lol

Don't need perfect images just yet. I'm accumulating ideas until at least after C21. Might actually get to play in the next few months. Need to do something to the list, but there's no rush.
