    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Why not make Necromus WUB? The gain 5 life part is definitely not on color, and there's still not a single red ability on there. Bork is cute.

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    Ok, still unhappy about a few picks, and I got to cut a green card (which will be replaced by an updated version of Zotan because the four-spot is really crowded, probably Silklash Spider can be replaced?). But, I'ld like to hear some opinions on a few new cards I haven't yet showcased. Fair...

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    Too much text! Aside from the fact that the text is simply not going to fit neatly on the card, I also think it involves too many choices. Six options is a lot.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    It's not often the German name is better, but this is a pretty clear case. French Delay is also hilarious :)

    General Boros has a really, really boring theme. Alternatives?

    Next assignment: what color(s) is Urza's? :P

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    Getting closer to a full list! I cut the artifact subtheme from red entirely. It's fun, but other themes take prevalence in the new color combinations. Man, cutting down to low numbers is always the hardest part!

    The 'Draw-a-Card' cube

    Are customs an option for this cube?

    Diakonov's Cube (450)

    Don't know about the red changes, but the rest seems good!

    General Boros has a really, really boring theme. Alternatives?

    I know nothing about Game of Thrones, other than that George R R Martin apparently wrote a series of fantasy Hamlet novels. This is why I suggested someone else name the characters :)

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    The premise of my cube is not one Wizards of the Coast has ever entertained in this exact configuration, and not surprisingly there's a lot of holes. Given that I'm committed to make this the best tri-color cube I can, and that I want to use a shifted color wheel, I've discovered an ever...

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    I thought it over a bit, and decided against enchantifying the splicers up. I don't think the constellation decks need it, and the flavor is so bad. I'm a stickler for consistency (which is why the 0/1 artificers don't appeal to me at all) and flavor. Well, up to a point, Force Piker is fair...

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    But then why would I ever want to cast the creature half? I think it's fine as a 2/1 (well, very good actually), because both halves are relevant then. I assume it's going to end up in white more often, as it can utilize the creature mode better than blue, and because blue has other...

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    I don't know, I'm okay with souping up blue's almost nonexistent aggro section a bit ;) I'm just going to try out the card as is and find out the hard way if it's overpowered :P Force Piker is never getting another name. I mean, coming up with the super cheesy name wasn't that hard, given its...

    Charm Cube (Shards/Wedges)

    Future Sight actually is a really good reason to go blue, but I don't know if your cube can support it. I know I don't run any triple mana of a single color cards in my Khans of Alara cube.

    General Boros has a really, really boring theme. Alternatives?

    I'm sure someone can name several red-aligned Game of Thrones characters?

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    I know not to get married to your custom cards, but I do like the design, I can appreciate it's stronger than Frost Walker, but Frost Walker hardly is the cap on what a blue aggressive creature could look like. I don't want blue to get enchantment splicers either, because that makes the "lord"...

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    Well, if there's a sac outlet, it becomes a {1}{u} 3/3, which is a good deal below 4/4. If there isn't a sac outlet, this is a pretty fragile "4/4". Better than Frost Walker, for sure, but still fragile. I would also hate to break the 1/1 human artificer mold all of these splicers sport :) Did...

    FlowerSunRain's Cube

    I totally agree! I wasn't saying UUU isn't hard with good mana fixing, rather that if your mana fixing sucks, don't even bother :) There is also the manafriendly megamorph cost, so as long as you got a decent shot at casting it face up, it's alright.

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    Yeah, you are probably right two bodies for five mana is already good enough as is. There's also a few splicers running around to spice them up. Good call, I'll drop the extra ability.

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    There isn't a lot of precedent for these stats, no, though Boggart Ram-Gang and Dreg Mangler are both uncommons, so we've had 3/3 haste bodies before at this converted casting cost. There's enough 2-mana 2-power hasters and 4-mana 4-power hasters that I think think Flame Splicer is okay though...
