Ha! Wizards is moving into virgin card naming territory with Throne of Eldraine :)

No love for Selkie Hedge-Mage ? It's a nice crossover between Harbinger of the Tides and Healer of the Glade with a better body. Definitely not overpowered if you get both. Snakeform seems absolute gas as well. It's close to good enough for cubes at three mana, at two it's bomb removal...

Only if Jon Bois makes a video about it :)

In my new cube, I use planeswalkers as a lure into multicolor. The only monocolored planeswalkers I run are the flipwalkers (except Chandra).

There's more hybrids you haven't mentioned that I personally think are quite sweet. Azorius Mistmeadow Witch Augury Adept Silkbind Faerie Turn to Mist Repel Intruders A perfect one drop that isn't a 2/1. (Not really a pure hybrid though, obviously.) A card advantage bear that has been somewhat...

2/4 flying for 1WB is buff! :eek: I really like the Vizkopa Vampire as a 3/1 lifelink hybrid 2 cmc beater :) There's more interesting hybrids I feel, though! Cauldron Haze Debtors' Knell Gwyllion Hedge-Mage Deathbringer Liege Cauldron Haze is a good one mana trick that works really well...

I don't mind the two threads. One is for excited banter as the spoiler season unfurls, this one offers more concise info on what actually makes the final cut.

Stream of Thought This would be interesting in that cube, potentially as a 2-off or a squadron pick. It's the durdliest of cards, and fits perfectly in a mill control deck, because you also get to shuffle your answers back into your deck.

Why not both? Card advantage is hard enough to come by in white!

Stolen by the Fae is testing well, and nobody is talking about it. A scalable Mist Raven that makes multiple bodies is preeeeetty solid! Sure, you can't usually curve it out as an answer to their curve, but UG ramp adores the heck out of this card!

Yeah, the basic deck struck me as core to the concept, and to the experience, so I didn't want to scratch it :) Also, you are probably right that my cards are too strong, but hey, battlecruiser magic! ;)

Have you thought about cutting white?

Shrek uses a more classical fairy tale as a medium though, while Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail is wholly irreverent, no layers needed.

They're evolving! I think this is a nice starting point. The numbers, like how many exhaustion cards you can banish, how many times you have to discover, etc, can be changed. Decided to put my cards in spoiler tags, because I feel like I'm hijacking your thread a bit ;) I do think the basic...

He's talking about the killer rabbit. Or possibly swallows, though whether of the African or the European variety, I don't know. ... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! PS. Besides Oathsworn Knight being inspired by Monty Python, apparently King Kenrith's attire is inspired by that worn by King Arthur in...

When testing cards, I just add them to the file. Only when it tests well will I look for a cut. That being said, I'm probably taking out Borborygmos. That looks like a weird cut, but I've found that the monocolor, tricolor, and artifact sections contain enough high cmc ramp payoffs, that I think...

Monty Python made a whole movie (Monthy Python and the Search For the Holy Grail) set in a parody Arthurian setting. Therein lies the problem though, as Eldraine definitely isn't a parody Arthurian setting.

So far, off the testing cards, Embercleave has been potentially too good, and Inquisitive Puppet has been underwhelming. Gingerbrute, Glass Casket, Grumgully, Scalding Cauldron, and Shambling Suit have all been gas :)

So, a simple class system like this is what I had in mind. As you level up, you unlock additional cards, that you will cast when you reach a turn equal to your level. For Wounds I wanted a more general term, since there's a lot of stuff that could happen to you that aren't necessarily wounds. I...

It's even a black knight :)
