    The Black Cube has (probably) every reasonable grave hate effect that doesn't wipe the entire yard and isn't excessively wordy. I don't want to wipe the whole yard efficiently in such a grave-centric environment, but I do want to disrupt it.

    Maybe it was one of the links in that thread, but I've also seen one where everyone gets 20 Servitors in their pool. The concept looks like it would be an absolute blast, but the novelty likely wears off. Tough to say. Tons of variants to try with Servitors. Seller on tcgplayer has 191 for...

    General Fight Club

    I like Price and Cast. Two mana is such a good deal for a removal spell that I like leaving some key cards out of it. Act and Throat I'd only run if it missed a significant amount of my environment. An artifact-based cube could be a cool home to restrict both of these a bit. Act probably still...

    Big fan of the Hellkite. Chaos Maw Haven't used it, but it often catches my eye.

    General Timespiral Remastered Timeshifts

    I'm on Team New Border, but I like being able to get happy for Ravnic. A lot of these look really good. Consider Ponder. It's a solid, simple spell.

    General Brainstorming: 2 Player Cubes

    Part of why I built The Black Cube was a desire to access grid drafting without removing a color. It works really well and you could probably go even more into one color if you wanted. Don't see why not. I think the idea about not allowing non-Islands is a little risky. Part of the goal of...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Can someone look at my cube and tell me whether or not to run Kroxa? 6/6 for 6 ETB +2 scares me, but BBBRRR costs is alluring. Not if you play dredge.

    The real set has Carole Baskin, That Fuckin' Bitch! These leaks were incorrect.

    General Secret Lair Spoilers

    I haven't been on the forums for a while, but I came to say that I'm IN LOVE with the Faeries. Seriously considering dropping $40 for cards I'll never play or spending $40 and immediately making a Lorwyn cube.

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    Hurricane would bother me a bit if I got burned out by it in a nonred deck, personally. Finale is generally solid, but might not be what you want at the 12 mana price point. Rhonas looks pretty cool, but you'll want to make sure you have access to ways to remove it. Supertrample brings me...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Do you have an artifact theme or need for artifact density? It's a weird card that I think needs to tick quite a few boxes to work. Slash Panther may also be worthy of consideration.

    Has anyone had success with this one? It looks sweet, but I didn't like it when I tried it. phantasmal image ideally with sun titan

    General Abzan "Put -1/-1 Counters On Your Own Stuff"

    BG -1/-1 your stuff UB -1/-1 their stuff GU +1/+1 your stuff Proliferate Is that maybe something?? I remember a Modern Masters set had UB -- their stuff and UG? ++ your stuff. This theme seems pretty sketchy, so I'm just throwing it out there in case it sticks.

    Article Cross-Appeal in Cube — Recipes to Avoid the Pitfalls of Parasitic Archetypes

    I've got so many sac outlets and kill spells and I'm sure she can draw one, but it's a lot of life and a lot of cards, so she makes me kind of worried for both players, really.

    General Fight Club

    I found the one mana activation cost to feel burdensome on Pyro. It also felt like the decks that were looking to utilize the 2 power attacking weren't looking to tap their guy down for a rummage. It also was a pretty poor topdeck, which is fine for a 2 drop, but the 4 damage didn't come in too...

    Article Cross-Appeal in Cube — Recipes to Avoid the Pitfalls of Parasitic Archetypes

    Universally playable payoffs? How many threads have I posted in now about Wizard's Lightning/Retort and Winged Words? I think these designs, as well as the instant/sorcery/wizard cards from ZNR are such excellent non-parasitic tribal. Definitely feels like a different kind of card. I'm...

    Afternoon Delight: Constrained CMCs

    Maybe not quite powermax, unless the rest of the cube calls for it, as a lot of those cards are GRBS to me, but I'd push the power level pretty well, for sure. Maybe it wasn't clear, but I don't count those as "real" 7s. If we are avoiding the 7 mana payment, then it isn't a real 7. Which I...

    Afternoon Delight: Constrained CMCs

    Make the curves different across colors. Cut down on the number of real 7s. Beanstalk Giant isn't really a 7, for example. A normal cube runs quite few 6+. For the real 7s that you do have, you can make them much more powerful without then taking over the game. Cut the monocolor and...

    General Let me draft your cube

    https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/theblackcube Main cube. Currently a bit bloated because I've added the last couple sets without cutting. It's a 450-480, though, so it's not over sized... yet. If you want more cubes to draft later, I have 3 more lists that are basically complete. I have a...
