Hahaha, good caption :) That first game was brutal! Well done Modin :)

I have tested Centaur Vinecrasher in the distant past, and wasn't really impressed by it. Might be different in my current environment that runs a few more fetchlands and cyclers though. Deathgorge Scavenger is in my current cube, and it's pretty fine. It attacking as a 4/3 for 2G (because you...

Doesn't the Apprentice trigger first, and you then stack your deck? Or are you talking about casting multiple deck-stacking cantrips in a single turn?

I will reiterate that the base level of the learn spells needs to be adequate for your cube for the mechanic to make any sense. It could very well be that it doesn't fit in a higher-powered environment. For what it's worth, I also frequent the MTG Cube Brainstorming Discord, which has a much...

It's just Silverquill. These people don't know when to stop writing! ;)

Also, with COVID wrecking social life, people are more likely to play digitally than irl.

It might take a while before I get results, but I certainly will in this case. I promise I will also get back to you all if it does play much worse than I anticipate ;)

That's not what I'm saying though. I have called lessons free real estate, yes, but from a player's perspective. What I mean is that, provided that the learn spells are of the appropriate power level to run them in your draft decks, lessons are just free value you can generate off of your learn...

You are thinking like a cube curator, not like a player. I think your example is misguided as well, as flooding a format with good mana fixing has wildly different consequences from adding a solid learn/lesson package. Re: cube real estate, the thing is, I have never, not even once, seen one of...

I think this is a mechanic worth testing in high volume. Why hold back in testing? You can always dial back or cut the mechanic entirely if it doesn't work as well as you thought.

You mis-spelled fractal :p Agree though. The Mystic also has a surprisingly relevant body for its cost. It can hold down the fort while your birds are pecking in.

Cool idea! Sealed naturally trends towards midrange a lot of the time, because sealed pools usually lack the density needed to build a good aggro deck, and the tools for building a reliable control deck. Looking towards glue cards that shine in midrange is one way to go, I think. As far as...

This was an incredible difficult pool for me to build, because I had too many playables. I seriously couldn't figure out what to cut, so I instead started from scratch and added cards I thought had to be in until I arrived at my final 23.

If you don't want the trinket text and think instant edict effects are playable at all, there's always the og Diabolic Edict.

Hanna is very hard to keep on the table with such a feeble body.

Don't despair! It's a lesson, so it can be the worst variant of this effect and still be the correct thing to tutor from your sideboard some of the time!

I'm torn. I have actually used that rebuy ability to plainscycle it away in the early game, then return it to my hand later after I wrested control of the game.

I am honestly surprised. These designs are so much cooler than what I had anticipated! I think they knocked this one out of the ballpark! Now I've got to dial back down my expectations for the other four. They can't possibly all be this interesting!

Haha, I'm excited for Cursed Mirror and Losheel! So many cool designs in this deck!

Oh shit, I read past the "loses all abilities" part. Oh well, just donk your opponent for 4 then, or turn a big blocker into a 1/1 so you can get that saboteur trigger anyway ;)
