I do caution you against falling into the trap that Ferret has pointed out. Also, I'd strongly recommend that you revisit "# of color symbols always = more power". Here's an example: bolt of keranos vs. brimstone volley Scry 1 is powerful, but the ability to scale to 5! damage, and be at...

It's a strong card, leaving off the mana production. Often easily a 2/3 the turn you attack with it, and later easily a 5/6. That can make {G}{G}{G}{G}. If you want another Nessian Asp, you can run ghoultree. Another vertical growth strategy is on doods dying: algae gharial Rot shambler...

The first thing that popped into my head was that green is the color of growth, and as such creatures that scale upwards seems a decent addition to your repertoire. This could be evolve, monstrous, threshold mebbe. Some examples of what I'm talking about could be (if there are card age/power...

That was a very informative bundle of information to read through! I think I was most impressed with the results on the 4C control list, with still only 7% whiff rate. That is telling me almost any deck can use it, and is certainly enough to bring my opinion around and try it out. :) Thanks!

I am very tempted by abzan ascendancy also. RIght now I just have siege rhino, which is very value, but feels little boring. What do we all think of Fiery Justice?

You dont get to know what's coming in, so this provides a major gamble for the ashen rider holder. Do you just not choose the rider as your first card? What's the impetus? It'll have to "get you" at least once, but what if they switch it up? It would add interesting depth, for sure.

Convinced me to try out lim-dul's vault! Does seem like a very cool card. Interesting that almost half the time it's a more fairly costed vampiric tutor for 40-card decks, but also sets up 4 more cards after that one. Coolio. I'm trying to look at potential ways to get some push-through for...

I guess I go all in on new sets, at least at first. :p There was a lot of cool stuff from this set that I want to at least test out. Multicolored cards were hitting it left and right: The regular ol' cards ended up being 1-2 per color: the Eldrazi ended up being slim pickin'. But I might...

Here's a more removable version. hedron-field purists

My plan is the 5 new enemy lands, partly because I don't have the allied ones, and partly because I think the 5 new ones are much flatter in power level compared to each other, as opposed to the wide gap on some of the allied lands.

Fetchable Waste-Land This land is all basic land types. As long as ~ is on the battlefield, it loses all basic land types. {T}: Add {c} to your mana pool. -------- Templating aside, this would be an interesting catch-all for any color wanting to splash into {c}, if your cube runs fetchlands.

Gonna echo Ferret here, and say that cube design as a whole can sometimes have problems with this when it comes to customs. It being pushed is exactly the point! :). You are spending one of your 45 picks on a swamp+. Still mulling around with ideas around blasted landscape. That card is...

Thanks for writing this little bit up! Excited to see that someone's already testing them. Those three + Worlrdbreaker and Blink-Drazi would probably be where my cube starts. Interesting thought that Reality Smasher is good in a deck with hand-hate potentially, to keep the opponent off the card...

that's doesn't come close to killing: courser of kruphix wall of omens wall of blossoms spellskite meloku, the clouded mirror Sylvan Advocate Just to name a few. But that is true. Also immolating glare promo art gives me life.

Got a VS. for us already. Searing light really really seems sweet, but I'm stuck: vs. ?

Over in the low-power I did a tally, including tokens and other less-than-ideal creatures, and I got to 134 (actually like 137), which is like 70% of my creature base. Talk about removal spell, but also a little better for control!

I could keep going with affects that can kill sylvan advocate that I either run or find sweet: bile blight strangling soot reave soul last breath EDIT: Let me just take a second to talk about Searing Light and Last breath. Just did a count, and found that I had 134 potential things/sources of...

Just to be sure, the "low powered" card in question is ulcerate, in the act of killing the most likely quite high-powered Sylvan Advocate.

I'm totally not sure this is low powered, to be certain. I think it's actaully a very fair but good card, because you are losing quite a good chunk of life. One more life loss = dismember, just for reference. Anyway, this popped into my head because it kills dead:

??? ulcerate
