    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    I'm thrilled about this set, but it also targets The Black Cube with its devotion and graveyard themes plus targets the -1 cube with the enchantment and graveyard themes. Maybe I'm just lined up for it...

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    All I meant by some getting cut is that I've initially added 26 cards. So, now my list is like 23 cards too large, and I have to cut something. It's likely that some of the THB cards come back out due to space constraints, but I wanted to see everything together before I make that determination...

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    I'm betting some will get cut during adjustments, but I just added a whopping 26 cards from this set to The Black Cube! Devotion set with a graveyard mechanic, plus the relatively high power level, led to a lot of possibilities for me. Check it out on my cubecobra link if you're curious!

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    I just checked the spoiler and was disappointed to see only the other saga getting credit. This is perfect for me, I think. It gives a yard wipe, which is always relevant in my format, but decks have a couple turns to prevent it if it's the kind of deck that would be crushed by it. Then the...

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    Ya, just a power issue. Mana is probably fine on that cost, really. It's just an obscene multi ETB. Agreed. A few things that outclass The Black Cube and I'm seeing fewer things for the -1 cube than I'd like. When you can't even knock a mana off an uncommon, you know the set's pretty nuts...

    Pissed I can't play a BBBRRR cost guy with yard synergy. This is ridiculously strong.

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    Haven't been here for a while, so thanks for leaving me this one. Seems really sweet for me and might even be too good, as I can easily see this quickly becoming a 2/5+ while having a significantly impactful activated ability. Overall, the devotion stuff is exciting for The Black Cube and the...

    With a little tweaking, I could probably manage to get by without four of those...

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    I think Binding will be excellent in The Black Cube where the second ability will often be super relevant. Not hard to imagine a green deck there that wants all three effects. It's slow, sure, but messing with yards a little (as opposed to yard-wraths) is something I'm really seeking for that...

    I've really enjoyed Lich. Blocks super well. Hugely beneficial in a midrange or control UBx discard/graveyard deck. Didn't try Buccaneer due to RR cost.

    The Black Cube

    Ok. I'll get the Alela when I can. I'm looking for more artifacts right now and wanted thoughts on: Sword of Body and Mind Sword of Fire and Ice Sword of Truth and Justice Sword of War and Peace Sword of Dungeons & Dragons Nonblack swords? I've never actually played with swords before...

    The Black Cube

    Alright. Don't actually own a Kethis, but I'll try to get one. You're right that he's probably right around the Vile power level. Vile is just black, though, so it seems less costly to run. I've had success running these guys and no one has been disappointed, or at least no one told me they...

    The Black Cube

    I cut all the vampires that really want other vampires. Leaving the zombies because there's a lot more of them. Lathliss, Dragon Queen? Seems like overkill, ya? You already have a 6/6 flyer, which is good on its own, but do you really need two more dragons on top of that? Do we feel like...

    The Black Cube

    I'm trying to make cuts and you come give me a card to add?! Ya, it does seem pretty good. I think I previously cut it thinking the body wasn't in line with an attacking deck, but getting a card or two is a big deal. Alright, nice. I was actually iffy on those two and marked them just to make...

    The Black Cube

    The thing with all the tribes issues you're having is that they're all good when unsupported. I'll try to address any card that appears to be tribe-supporting. Bladewing is the only card that actually needs another dragon to function, so he could go. Dragon's Hoard is a 3cmc ramp spell, which...

    I suspect this has been posted before, but Deathreap Ritual vs Moldervine Reclamation I left out Fecundity because the symmetry can be killer to the caster or the low cmc can be killer to the opponent. Neither is appealing. I'm also open to the idea that neither of these are quite what I...

    The Black Cube

    Good question. 450-500. Not that concerned on the size. W=U=R=G but black will be 2-3x more cards than those. Probably ~50 per WURG and then don't really care about black or artifact count, as long as it fits in my box, which is 450-500.

    The Black Cube

    The most anticipated post of the decade... TL;DR https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/theblackcube What is it? The Black Cube is a cube where the majority of the cards are black. There's a lot of black removal, black graveyard synergies, black card draw, black aggro creatures, black midrange...
