I could if I didn't have the common cold and/or allergies all the time :oops:

I... uh... have two paper cubes?

It's mostly good in Commander, yeah. There is one sweet hidden cube gem in the set though! withdraw

Also... Rhystic Study

Hey! Be kind to Chimeric Idol! It's not its fault that it was born into a bad family!

Those are exactly the two cards I run from that list. Feather is awesome with the right support, the split card is decent and flexible.

That's some Volcanic Hammer right there o_O

Without other scarecrows, it basically cycles itself for 1 mana, which is decent? It's fragile, its value depends on how good reanimating artifact features for 4 mana is.

Well, luckily this is Odyssey block, where there is graveyard hate in spades :)

I'm definitely veering more toward Odyssey and Innistrad. The major problem with threshold is that there aren't really great ways to fill the graveyard in Odyssey block. You don't want to immediately hit threshold, but you do want to be able to get there during the course of a game. Cheap...

I started a thread for the Grand Odyssey cube! If you can identify a better theme for RW in Odyssey block, do speak up :confused:

Archetypes This is the hard part. Odyssey had next to no explicit archetype support for specific color pairs. Sure, UG Madness was wildly popular back in the day, but there is nothing dictating {G/U} is actually about madness any more than, say {R/G}, which also had access to terrific madness...

Introduction Once upon a time, someone with too much time on their hands, and too little opportunities to do live drafts with one of their two cubes (curse you COVID-19!) thought it was a good idea to start a third cube. I may not have a lot of opportunities to draft my cubes, even under...

I believe they are not. I have no confirmation from WotC directly, but here's one (usually well-informed) source saying so: https://www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2020/06/jumpstart-previews-begin-with-new-legends-and-dual-lands/ To quote the relevant paragraph (emphasis mine): I've seen other...

Okay, after studying the block some further, it's going to be hard to assign themes to the color pairs. There are hardly any build-arounds, and those that do exist are mostly focused around the same stuff. This limited format is going to take more importing stuff from other blocks than I...

Taurean Mauler

Baleful Strix is quite powerful, but because it's only a 1/1, it never feels overwhelming. It's still in my cube, despite overperforming for years now. Tidehollow Sculler is completely fine, but be aware of sac outlets, because it uses the old wording (with two separate triggers, meaning the...

Better? :)

Also, my original goal was not to include new keywords, but Odyssey only had three keywords over the span of a three-set block, and white's madness spells are rubbish, so I don't know if I can get away with that. We'll see I suppose. Anyway, if anything, I would be looking for a graveyard-based...

Yeah, I know :) I initially put it in that before the reminder text for flashback, but it looked really off. In the end I decided to just skip it. There's enough glorious regression of terminology to appreciate the effort, I think ;)
