Make it... Sacrifice a creature: Return Recurring Nightmare to your hand and target creature card from your graveyard to your hand. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery. EDIT: And it's still probably broken, that's how retarded the unedited version is. EDIT 2: I...

Make the activated ability only anytime you could play a sorcery and I think you've got a winner.

Good point. My multi-colored section is only 2 cards right now though, so it might not be an issue for me (although the other card is a 3 drop - Edric).

Has anyone tested Sagu Mauler yet? This card seems really intriguing. While you can argue that Sky Swallower is the better GU fatty, I was thinking the morph on this guy makes him more interesting for reanimator. This guy can be played for 3 colorless mana, be used to chump block something...

Necro. I found this article the other day and really loved the idea of a modular cube. Has anyone done this with a paper cube? If so, how did you manage each "module" (for lack of a better term). Sorting this each time would suck. I'm debating on different colored sleeves. I realize...

I think I'm going to wait for the next set to see what we get. I have a couple morphs in my cube already, but an actual morph theme I think would require I run some janky stuff so I'm not a fan as of yet. I do like morph though.

I absolutely DO NOT want wizards doing anything official for cube unless its to crush some of the narrow minded thinking you see on the forums (singleton, power max, etc.). Any attempt to standardize would kill what is good about the format IMO. At least for me, I found this format to get away...

What about Knight of the Reliquary? And while I agree Unflinching Courage is probably easier for casuals to understand, Armadillo Cloak is slightly better (since the life gain stacks with lifelink). Plus it's an armadillo turned into a cloak. I mean, what's not to like about that?

Armadillo cloak

I had a fun UB reanimator casual deck that ran Living End and Sins of the Past. It sounds clunky (and kind of was), but I ran a ton of looter type effects and being able to toss Living End to use later worked better than you might think. It also let you get extra mileage out of other reanimation...

What you are describing is one very valid approach to design. But it's not the only way to go about it. I personally don't want to push themes too heavily or overly emphasize gimmicks (which is where this type of design can lead if you let it). At the end of the day there really isn't any one...

I think that's an interesting idea actually. One of the things I'm constantly struggling with is what to support and how to support it. I see so many cool ideas and I want to incorporate a lot of what I see guys posting, but there is a finite design space to work in. And each new set of cards...

I was referring to multi-colored cycles. For me personally, I want to run an even number of multi-colored cards. If I don't do that (or get close), I feel like I'm pushing certain combinations. With shards, it's already a "pushed" idea so I'm not sure the same rules apply. But it still...

Balance I guess. I'd want to represent all the combinations in some way. I suppose I could come up with some other algorithm that took into account number of mana symbols for each color (and balance things that way - not by cards). But I don't know how I would make that work honestly. I...

That's my primary concern.

So how many people are going to add a Shard cycle to their cubes now? My brain tells me that can only hurt drafts, but I'm curious what the general consensus is. At 400, I'm currently running 20 guild cards and 15 pseudo multi-colored cards (combination of hybrid, multi-colored flashback...

I would not keep that hand. I am not lucky and I guarantee you the top card is not a forest if that's my deck. Now I might keep it if I'm playing with the exile/draw rule.

That's almost unavoidable though. They can't cost less than 3 and you can't expect an aggro deck to always have three colors on turn 3, so really you can only make an aggro card a 4 drop. Not a lot of design space with those constraints. Tri-color sets can't help but suck due to the inherently...

Better add this in.... Fastbond

Wow. I love this thing. Replacement for Genesis Hydra? I can call it a 6 drop and find a home for it.
