Wow, I somehow missed that.

Why would you ever want to run one of these? Either you run both because you love the effect (as I do), or you run neither of them because you hate the effect.

Yeah, I was pretty impressed by Inexorable Blob, and Tooth Collector would have been very annoying against me had my opponent reached delirum. There are a few more delirium spells that look really interesting. I think it's a really good fit for the color wheel as well. Abzan runs an enchantment...

Lets put my counter-thoughts on the one instance thoughts in a spoiler :)

You forgot Eternal Witness ;) But yeah, I really like Bellower!

When I still supported an artifact theme I cut Academy Ruins completely. Some recursion is okay, but Ruins just leads to repetitive game states, which, well, ruins a game imo. Cards like Trading Post, Daretti, Scrap Savant and Goblin Welder are, again imo, enough to supply some recursion without...

So, is something like this an option? Is this at all exciting?

I guess our prerelease attendees are a bit different from the average prerelease crowd then. Most of the players are regulars that have been playing Magic for years, a good number of them have one or more pro points, and even more of them have played or still play at Grand Prix.

I'm well familiar with Eurovision, being from the Netherlands, thank you :P Anyway, had to google EVO to figure out what's going on, and of course melee means Super Smash Bros. Melee, should have known with you guys! So, this article says there have been five dominating players over the...

Oh, I totally like how Chainwalker plays, don't get me wrong. I just don't think it's worth the extra keyword when there are good alternatives available.

No no, I went an unprecedented 1-4-1. I'm pretty sure it's a personal worst, but it does make me the total scrub on this forum :)

EVO?

Goodness me, that's a hilarious combo! :)

Suh-weet! I wasn't actually expecting anyone to go through the whole list, but this is great, great feedback Chris! Thanks! I agree with your evaluations for the most part as well. I still think there's merit in reducing the number of one-off keywords to make the cube feel more cohesive and to...

I'll admit that the red three drop slot is incredibly tight. Even more so for me because I'm rocking a custom three to support the "cast two spells a turn" subtheme.

That does not mean it has no value though, it's a good card that aggressive players will appreciate. It also has an attack trigger, which is nice if you have a way to generate extra combat steps. If you want to include only complex cards in your cube though, be my guest :P

Taking a hard look at insular keywords, because the fewer of those are in a cube, the easier it is on the drafters. I also think the cube will feel more consistent with less keywords and more repeats among supported keywords. So, let's first make a list of undersupported keywords... Cards in...

Maybe. It's not a mechanic I can see myself getting excited about ever though.

The problem I have with echo is that it's a negative mechanic; "You don't get to keep this creature *unless* you pay extra." Evoke on the other hand is a positive mechanic; "Here's a creature with a cool enters the battlefield mechanic, but you can *also* use it as a spell if you pay less."...

I always reassemble my sealed pool into two decks to see if I missed any builds, and to get a feel for the cards I didn't play. I should probably have played this instead of the deck in my previous post. It's a lot more consistent in the early game, the emerge creatures are less painful to cast...
