    I'm not sure it would be the same cards getting cut every time. Just looking at the last two (serious) decks in the thread, Supa Hot Fiya and Please Sir, I'd think the red deck has such an aggressive angle that you'd be forced to cut some of the slower cards from Please Sir and you'd be left...

    What about making these like 22 cards and letting people cut a few? Could make things a little more cohesive than randomly mashing them together. Would it be worth the trouble of making it not be an immediate shuffle and play?

    The Black Cube

    Another one that may make a return: Haakon, Stromgald Scourge Cut him and a handful of knights that were primarily there because of him. He's alright on his own, but the whole thing felt a bit shy of proper support and I didn't want to leave my drafters looking for knights that (mostly) aren't...

    I just added artifact support if you wanna check my list (in signature). I opted out of Strix and Gearhulk because they generate more value than I was ok with. That Tezz worries me that you need a really high density of artifacts to not whiff and have your players feel bad, too. This is a gut...

    I think Subira can be GG easily with the first ability and still has haste, which makes her decently aggressive. She also provides late game reach. I thought about Fireslinger, but it just seems so bad. I'm also not big on Spitter, but it seems like the deck needs some 1 drops. Geopede I'm...

    I had Cavalcade but felt like I didn't have THAT many 1 power things and didn't find it likely to pair into a second deck successfully. Archer, Geopede, and Hellrider will give some much needed triggers while pairing well with anything else that can be aggressive.

    Add a house rule "lands don't ETB tapped" and you can build a ton of great mana bases for almost no money.

    I really like the Tutelage deck. Nice use of cards we don't typically get to play. It also has the benefit of smoothing the draws of whatever deck it gets paired with, which makes it a good match for basically any other 20. Could maybe make use of Vista, Passage, Wilds, Terramorphic to enable...

    rav, would you run them at a considerably higher power level?

    I mean, there's four cards that are explicitly tribal. The 5 drop tribal card seems slow for the deck and the land just doesn't pack enough punch for me, although I do love the art and theme of the land. I wish the ability cost 1 or any of those creature types were central to a +1/+1 theme...

    Vizkopa being a bear is a good start and the second ability has great potential. Probably one that I've overlooked in considering a life gain theme myself. If you have a lot of small triggers, I'd keep Cliffhaven because it can really churn out some life loss on multiple triggers. If you're on...

    Tribal is a little harder to Jumpstart. Most of the cards are good in Wx aggro-mid kind of a deck, but you might want to cut the Banner and Sanctuary in favor of something more generic and a Vivid. You actually only have 6 Dogs in your 40 card deck. That said, I think there's a good chance we...

    I'm cutting these for now, but I wanted to note them here because they may be good later and I want to be sure there's a reminder for me somewhere slitherwisp hooded blightfang labyrinth raptor These all have the potential to shift your draft focus without being overbearing, which I like, but...

    I would make sure my Islands are anything but an actual island ;) Is there a way to specify an art when posting card images? Other than using an [img ]? Glad people are liking the designs, Humpty.

    The Black Cube

    I added some ninjas and a few, mostly blue, creatures that are or can be hard to block. I also did v1 of the enchantments update. Gonna do some drafts to look for anything that feels out of place, feel free to join in.

    Attack on Cube (2021 Update)

    I don't like Animal Sanctuary, Cathedral of War, or the quad Squad Hawks. Colorless lands need a real impact and picking up enough hawks to be worthwhile isn't too likely to me, whereas 8post could work. Maybe add a Vesuva? 60 lands in a 360 is a lot, especially when Wilds is so versatile. I'd...
