Bolas's CitadelCommand the Dreadhorde These seem like a cool payoff and a combo with EtB gain. This is definitely a deck I'm interested in adding, but I'm concerned a lot of the cards in it might be a bit narrow. Been pondering it recently.

I didn't like any of Winnower, Banshee, or Rebel. They all were an FTK, with Winnower occasionally disabled by an X/X. Really disliked every time I saw any of those get played. You could try Hatchling, although it looks maybe a bit weak. I also hated Gearhulk, but could see Overseer costing...

Knight of Grace They almost got the design right here, but the first strike and the oversized body make it difficult to win a fight with until the midgame. My format would LOVE a reasonable hexproof from black card. This guy with no first strike or Vinemare with its abilities combined into one...

Just made a post about this in CBS. The M20 cards were pretty nice for lifegain, and I already noticed some of the stuff you stated. Running most of what you listed, plus Sorin's Thirst and Essence Extraction already. I also have Divinity of Pride and would like to give it a little more love...

Weak is relative. If you truly want to build something tribal, you can adjust your power level to the changelings and run them in multiples. Speaking of tribal... does anyone here run Bx life gain? I can see that feeling almost tribal-ish, but I don't have experience with the deck. M20 had...

If we want to make a speed argument, I'd like to look at legacy reanimator. You know what's really good vs a turn 6 beatdown? A 7 life 7/7. I'm kind of playing devil's advocate, but I think it would take a rather specific format to not want some fatties. I mean, Eternal Dragon is cool and...

I'll be making a post about it at some point, surely. It was a desire to have a grid draftable cube that didn't cut a color, so I wondered what would happen if I forced a color to be taken. Turned out pretty cool. Black-based makes it have a kind of scary theme automatically, which I like. I...

I don't like powerful ETBs, but may run this with no angels or dragons. ETB draw a demon. This seems sweet. This is just a white card with how I count things and it has two relevant creature types. Easily goes in. Probably cool. Relevant creature type, sweet effect, nice body...

Preface: My cube is primarily black cards. Auto include for me. This is 70% of a Dreadbore. That exiles. And scrys. Very likely I use this. Anything that kills and ignores the yard is a good thing. I'll have to check what my removal looks like compared to this. Currently debating if I'm...

Wurm works well in ramp, top end of midrange, some rare green control deck, and any sort of reanimation package. Obviously, we don't want to inundate our curves with 7s and 8s, but I think it's a little crazy to label having a few as poisonous. Like, I get your point that not many decks want...

Throw this bad boy in the fatties thread. Kind of like a slow Atarka. I like my reanimation targets to not be totally backbreaking and I feel like the lack of immediate effect combined with the fear of an attack is a good combo for me.

Bishop of RebirthSun Titan These get cute with certain other cards like Witness or can just generate a narrow value. Kor Skyfisher Classic for interesting interactions. Vesperlark I feel like there's probably some way to abuse this, although I've not yet looked into it. Some sort of low...

This is SO power level dependent. I also have a hard time calling a morphed up 4 drop a "fatty" as well as any 5 drops. I'm even borderline 6 drops. Calling Meteor Golem inherently "bad" isn't a fair assessment, either. You've also listed a 3/3 and a 3/4 as a "fatty" in the OP. You also call...

As long as we're on the topic of new walkers, has anyone who previous didn't run walkers decide to add them in post-WAR? I've been considering adding walkers to my low-power format. I guess you're right. Targetted discard that's costed appropriately is fine. 2 mana to take a look and get a...

Honestly never even considered people did this lol. What's the [x ] for spoiler? This was my main concern and why I asked. My cube is black-slanted, so I have a shitload of black slots to utilize. I don't know the deck really needs payoffs. The opponent has fewer cards is a payoff...

Piqued my interest* Ok, onto the real stuff. I've often considered a simic untaps deck. I'd run it, but I don't currently support simic. It looks roughly like this: Simic Growth ChamberArixmethes, Slumbering IsleKydele, Chosen of KruphixGreenweaver DruidIncubation DruidFertile...

Nameless InversionCrib Swap Cute. Didn't see her mentioned. Maybe I missed it. Pretty cool design if you run 3c stuff. It's a little scary to ETB multi-draw on a well-statted 3 drop, but I might give her a go. Potentially removing 2 of the 3 creature types entirely to make her a tribal +1...

I think it's going to be really high variance: - You abuse the discard and crush them with your 7/6. - You smash them with a 7/6 and they're dead right away. - They kill it after you discard and fall behind badly if it wasn't a value discard. I don't entirely know what it is, but it...

I run a cube that's color-slanted in favor of black right now, so the white one of this cycle is a windmill slam for me :p I've been considering buying 10-15 of these collection cards recently and tossing them in over similar cards. Like, maybe a lot of your burn is bombardments now or all...
