As I said to Onder, it's unlikely Shambling makes the cut. I'm probably going to aim at 3/2 or 3/3 as the two drops, as a more typical cube would have. The whole curve will need some examining once the multicolor setup is closer to figured out, but I'm definitely using a typical cube as a...

If I decide to pursue the 5 guilds plus 5 tricolor setup, I'm going to need THREE COLOR CARDS Probably 2-3 per combo, five combos total. Let's see what we've got. Alela, Artful Provocateur Sludge Strider Tower Gargoyle Sharuum the Hegemon Alela is Super Omega Nighthawk and is probably too...

I'm seeing a lot of cards that do mill as an accessory to the cards main effect such as Oona, Queen of the Fae, Bond of Insight, Broken Ambitions, Patient Rebuilding, Winds of Rebuke, Didn't Say Please. It seems like you could use these cards to mill a decent chunk off the opponent's deck, maybe...

It's in consideration with 24 other cards for a total of 3-4 slots in a 10 guild or 6-10 slots in a 5 guild/tri build. The power level is going to depend on where it looks like the pieces will set it. It's also one of the less interesting cards in the list. A lot of these cards that have been...

RAKDOS POST Hybrids Spiteflame Witch Torrent of Souls Nice hitter with some mid-late effectiveness plus a pretty interesting Monster Reborn that might be too good. Hellbent seems pretty stupid, but look at all those cards... Jagged Poppet Neheb, the Worthy Bloodhall Priest Dread Slag...

DIMIR POST Hybrids Whisper Agent Only one I liked, surprisingly, after WU was so full. Aggro body with a filter. Could be a bit too much, really. Classic Graveyard Prized Amalgam Tomebound Lich Gisa and Geralf Havengul Lich Possessed Skaab Soul Manipulation Ancient Excavation Extract from...

I'm hesitant on two mana ramp. The original cube I had would Rampant Growth into 2GG fat bullshit all the time. Anyone have experience with turn 2 ramp where they don't feel like it accelerates one deck straight into the midgame? Borderposts were intentionally not mentioned due to all these...

Most Convincing Post 2019 Marshal if your mana can support it. Otherwise, neither. Honor doesn't do anything for me. TITI if you're looking for raw power, which it sounds like you are.

bUt It CaN't DrAw LaNds Board the Weatherlight Speaking on a possible Bant legends + Esper artifact theme similar to Shards, but with Bant as a real deck instead of housing a mechanic that sucks, let's see if it's worthwhile to enable Board to draw us lands. I suspect we have more wiggle room...

AZORIUS POST Hybrids Somnomancer Minister of Impediments Thistledown Duo Vassal Soul Senate Griffin Depose // Deploy Curse of Chains Pretty aggro. Note the density of flyers as a deck option. Flyers Empyrean Eagle Elite Guardmage Spire Patrol Thunderclap Wyvern Sky Hussar Migratory Route...

I think it's pretty stupid that I can have 11 Jaces and 4 Blue Castles in play. Both were done to sell packs and both are pretty thematically ugly. Let's go back to Kamigawa.

Someone convince me black castle is actually good. Like, a card draw land is awesome, but The aggro decks won't have enough mana to use it or want it to come in tapped. They'd rather recur a one drop. Midrange decks might need it if their life total isn't being pressured. And if it is...

Digging most of those cards. Good examples of "this is cool but sucks" but it's just cool if you trim a mana. Also, seeing as they're all multicolored, it confirms my theory that the next place to look is at color pairings. Basic landcycling cards, and cycling in general, are also usually...

Ya. I have a hard time telling if it's better to run the colorless ones to keep them flexible or try to limit them to certain colors a little. I think it could be beneficial to give every deck access to them. Probably able to run some in colorless and then some that support color roles as well...

Broom is great for anyone whose seen Fantasia. Knight seems like a potential blowout. I'm offended you didn't tag me for the cauldron. This probably makes it for me, but I'm not thrilled. R/G hybrid is a 5/5 for 4. That's decent.

Maybe. I kind of do this anyways. It's gonna take some exploration, for sure. I'm betting we can manage to make hard aggro that has a midgame plan. You've stolen my next post!!! Similarly, adventures get a huge upgrade. Anything that you cast twice gets -2 mana, essentially, and looks...

Another card for all the red cubes out there... Come on, WOTC!!

Man... I thought about that for sure and I'm so scared to push something better than Rampant Growth. If you go read the last page of CBS, you'll see that I'm hesitant to let people ramp. I dislike a lot of how it affects the format. I've been wondering how to handle ramp here. I typically...

ZERO MANA? AEther SpellbombPyrite SpellbombImplement of CombustionImplement of Ferocity These are all zero mana artifacts that seem reasonable if the ability is viewed as a sorcery. This is significant because a Hellbent or artifact deck can take advantage of having permanents in play. Other...
