This is kinda interesting, though maybe a bit too expensive :)

Yeah, maybe the Counterspell (or the mechanic) is just hard to balance.

I think you're really close to a cool mechanic, but I don't like that the relevancy of the market is dictated by the colors you and your opponent are playing. I would make cards in the marketplace effectively cost colorless mana, like Hostage Taker, and then balance around that. So... Wage...

My likes to post ratio is abysmal. Won't stop me from posting though! :P

Well, I've got a few extra gold slots compared to most cubes, so... Hard to say? Clan Defiance certainly is powerful when you can use all three modes, but I guess it's used most often as a Ravaging Blaze, which honestly looks like a fine option if you're looking for a monocolored alternative.

Is this appropriate if I want to make Demonic Pact and Smokestack/Braids, Cabal Minion a bit better? (Don't mind the placeholder art) Surely in commander this is more nuts than in 1v1. Also, way less vulnerable and one color instead of three. But yes, in testing so far, Aaneetra has been powerful.

Not sure how much you can make out, but this was a wild turn! Took full advantage of both Heartbeat of Spring and Mana Flare sticking, and the untap all lands post combat custom :) Sentinel Tower would have dealt 10 here. Also enough to kill the opponent with Geistblast on Clan Defiance!

Drafted the Mox Cube blind. Tried to force storm, since all the important pieces were coming along in the first few picks. Only saw Mind's Desire. The lack of cheap cantrips is disturbing. I think I passed one Brainstorm, but that's about it. I feel this deck is going to struggle to find its...

I swear, this one's never going to be topped :')

This is pretty elegant!

Yes! That's what I was thinking! You can make the Aristocrat "unblockable" for those final points of damage, or sack your board with a Blood Artist in play. This does neither, though I guess it'll slowly eat your opponent's defenses with the deathtouch.

https://mythicspoiler.com/rna/cards/canonizeconsume.html Now this I can get behind! A life gaining removal spell that doubles as cantripping graveyard removal! Canonize {1}{w/b} Instant Exile target card from a graveyard. Draw a card. // Cannibalize (?) {2}{w}{b} Sorcery Target player...

That's quite a card though!

I agree! Your Ode to James definitely deserves to be in the top 3 Jason, that was hilarious :)

Kor Skyfisher vs Emancipation Angel So... My problem is, Skyfisher is bonkers with Oketra's Monument, but the Angel is an underwhelming card period. What do I do?

Wait... Boneshaper Priest doesn't require tapping for its activated ability? Fauna Shaman was underpowered? Reckless Driver's activated ability, on the other hand, seems severely overcosted. That's literally going to do nothing (except being a 2/1 for {R}) 99% of the time. It's an aggressive...

Ok, I got a sample decklist from my... in progress cube. I'm testing the storm package in Temur instead of the energy package, together with some other more minor changes, and this is from that cube. Twos 1 Elvish Visionary 1 Fireslinger 1 Sakura-Tribe Elder 1 Vinelasher Kudzu Threes 1...

1-2 for both, I'ld say. I engineered my curve so that the only decks that really benefit from ramp are red or green. You're trying to clinch your games with Wildfires, big X-spells, Sandwurm Convergence, or BIG MONSTERS. Sometimes a Grixis deck crops up that tries to get to Nicol Bolas...

I made a conscious decision in my cube to have ramp at two (or more) mana in green, and three (or more) mana in other colors. So, Llanowar Elves and Mind Stone are out, but Nature's Lore and Pristine Talisman are fair game. This changes the dynamic somewhat, I guess. For pure ramp though, I...

It's a triggered ability that goes on the stack. If it didn't make you lose unspent mana, you could tap all your untapped lands for mana with the trigger on the stack, then let it resolve, and tap those lands again. It's the difference between having X mana available twice in a turn, or two...
