I love Rankle to death, it's really strong, but also really fun to build around.

o_O Have you been stalking me? I cut all of these when I first powered down my cube, like... /me checks CubeTutor archive... five years ago! (Okay, except Nissa obviously, she wasn't around back then.) I've dug a little bit deeper and found some more. In no particular order... Thragtusk...

Yeah, Stonecoil Serpent seems relatively reasonable, but it pretty specifically hoses my cube :')

You could take a look at my cube for some inspiration. I run Feather, and recently added a number of heroes, together with quite a number of things that (sometimes incidentally) target. Ha! I should have mentioned that one too. I cut Hangarback Walker as well for the same reason. I even...

I feel like there's superior versions to this Rhonas's Monument Deepwood Drummer Heart of Yavimaya Elder of Laurels Forbidden Lore Narcissism looks like a pretty bad rate to me, considering that it doesn't pressure the board, costs a whopping three mana, and requires you to discard cards for...

They did say they already //searched "costs" "less" and for "rather than paying"//, so I assumed they already found that card :)

Sue me :P For real though, I think the name is perfect. Naya is immediately associated with RGW, and Triome is immediately associated with tricycles. It's the perfect name as far as I'm concerned. You could even argue, from a flavor point of view, that the shards were by definition triomes! :)

I thought of another one from way back when. Roar of the Wurm Which inspired me to dig some more and find (only listing the ones that shave off at least 2 mana and with a cmc of at least 3)... battle screech prismatic strands spirit flare deep analysis echo of eons dread return traitor's...

Heh, I literally just cut one card from my cube where this applies very much. Smuggler's Copter Turns out, that while this does indeed synergize with the discard matters and historic packages in my cube, it's just too strong on a generic level. That plus the fact that it's colorless means...

Also, adventures! E.g. Beanstalk Giant

Yeah, raid is a nice find by inscho (you're on a roll here!). Raider's Wake is both a better and a more balanced Larcency, probably. Still one mana too expensive, I feel.

Just because it's COVID season, and my most recent drafts have been with the Heritage Cube, doesn't mean I can sit back and just let new sets go by without tinkering with my main cube! I've been tinkering quite a lot, actually! I've got not one, but three sets to work with (Theros Beyond Death...

There aren't a lot of good options, I think. Drana, Liberator of Malakir Smogsteed Rider Necropolis Regent ??

I think people are sleeping on Fight as One. It's been a blowout trick in testing, screwing up combat math and board clears like a boss :) I also think you're entirely right about Sharknado. In fact, I cut it after testing, because it was too damn good.

Thanks for the draft Shamizy! Yeah, I worked on aggro a bit in this last update. I think it was already decent, but I gave it a bit of extra love. It's unfortunate you missed out on more combat tricks, I did put in a few more to better support the hero archetype, but it's a 450 cube, so...

Moldervine is the best one vs bounce by a mile. Whatever befalls your creature, you can always suit up the next elf. Of the three, it's the one that most behaves like equipment (in that you can reattach it to a new creature), and it has some nice graveyard interaction to boot. Also, Elephant...

Finally updated my Wheel of Change cube! Whew, did a big overhaul to strengthen some themes, removing cards that didn't pull their weight or felt just a bit too generic. Notably, with a heavy heart, I finally cut Demonic Pact, as it required a lot of support cards in amounts that didn't really...

Mist-Syndicate Naga Has anyone of you had any experience with this guy? I'm looking for another monoblue ninja in addition to Ninja of the Deep Hours, and this seems the most exciting one, but also the one that can get rampantly out of control. It has been reasonable in testing so far, because...

Oh, and I've got a custom in the cube with Raise the Alarm as the front side, and Coordinated Assault as the aftermath side. Either effect is just a bit underwhelming on its own, but staple them together, and you've got a strong Boros card!

Cool! I think Nightbird's Clutches is the card I'm looking for. Thanks for thinking outside the box inscho, and suggesting something that's not a combat trick. I think this will play very well in the hero swarm deck!
