    Thanks, Velrun. There's likely updates coming to my thread in the next few weeks. Onder, it sounds like you're doing a lot like what my Onslaught cube (theoretical list only, no M21: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/cuf) did. Updating an old favorite. I'm not sure I'm going to go through with...

    My cube also runs a bit like a four color cube. You're gonna be black, but what else will you be? It enables black to contain all the semi-poisonous 2/1s for 1 that only aggro wants. All decks have access to black's important tools, primarily removal and card draw. It revolves around the...

    I have an Onslaught cube sitting in my CC as a theoretical secondary cube in addition to the -1 mana cube lol. I update them all a bit with each set release. My design philosophy has changed recently and I'm trying to reconcile how The Black Cube fits with that. Just do it.

    You know, I'd be happy to have it fuck me over. It's so far beyond a Divination and it's above the curve with yard support if it goes 4/3. K, I'm gonna give it a try. Never got it before cus it was $10 in Standard and then I forgot.

    Jadelight Ranger What's up with this one? All the outcomes seem very good. I can't tell if I'm afraid of it or it's exactly what I want.

    I think Barrin is pretty good just as a Man o War. Back when I used to run that, it would fuck aggro up pretty bad. Bounces their 2 and trades with their 1. I'd run Barrin myself, but the tempo of bouncing their most expensive threat is so often backbreaking. For someone at a higher power level...

    Crystal Shard-style blink decks. Also worth noting that you can bounce your bounceland to trigger this every turn in the mid-late game. Would have been awesome if he could pick up Demonic Pact...

    It seems like the kind of card that's good with a buff, which was my original thought. Throw +7/+7 at it and go nuts with your trample. Outside of when it's doing well, Velrun is probably right. It's a lame 2/3 with a double color cost for three. Even if it's good, it's probably...

    Kels is nice. Good body. Have to pay mana to get value. "Indestructible" could be problematic at times, but it looks like a winner. I find the Moor (and likely cycle) to offer some excellent consistency to the drafting section. A BG land, for example, works for one guild or four triplets. This...

    Prophetic Flamespeaker Is this any good? Pre-installed trample to go with the double strike seems sweet. Obviously it would have buffs in the format to give it power.

    I might lean towards adding stats rather than down-costing a repeatable tutor. Maybe a 2/4 to avoid bolts or a 4/2 if you'd rather see an attacker? I think I like it as a 2/4, probably. You can try Thalia's Lancers, at least. It's an $11 uncommon that doesn't even seem that good. It's gotta be...

    Yeah. I guess it depends how much you want to push the theme, really. If you want the 5c one and a shrine deck, I'd run like one 5c one and two sets of the rest. If you want it a little more in the background, one set is probably fine. Or maybe run three per color, doubling up on your preferred...

    Cut Engineer. Card's randomly a total dickhead. I'd also take a look at my ramp options if I were you. Your green section excels at ramping out some fat and locking aggro out. I had this problem in a past cube where green absolutely destroyed aggro because it was always hitting a t2 4/4 and/or...

    So, I have a bit of a designer handicap where I love multicolored cards, narrow build arounds, and great art. With that said, I come to answer one of M21's greatest questions: Am I really this stupid? Let's take a look at the shrines by color to see if they cooperate with each other and if...

    It's almost like a mini Ultimatum. I really like it. None of the effects are too brutal, but they'll really add up. I love Radha's design. A 3/3 for 3 is a great baseline body. It's offering a very RG way to "draw" cards. And it has a sweet ability for later in the game when your...

    I've been hot on flying tribal and this is so sweet.

    Which happens to be how long that combo will take to resolve online. I rather like that GR dude. If a 4/3 for 4 is respectable in your format, it's got some interesting abilities on top of it. I gotta say that I love the way they've been designing these flying cards. This is how you design...
