A better Looter il-Kor after fifteen years!!

What are your favourite mass pump/Anthem effects in white? Bonus points if they add counters I know I like Mikaeus, the Lunarch and Felidar Retreat. Benalish Marshal is appealing and enough of an upgrade over stuff like Soltari Champion for a (mostly/) mono-W deck. Angel of Invention is cool...

Remembered a perfect example: Cabal Therapy I love Therapy and wish there was an analogous card that worked in a mostly singleton environment - maybe an Aftermath card where the 'main' card is a Blackmail variant and the Aftermath card is Therapy? Black really needs more good discard spells...

The one that sees most play in Constructed currently is: The Akroan War Which is also the most interesting in general IMO. It creates a really tense subgame over the next few turns and you can get extra mileage out of certain Blink effects like Restoration Angel or Thassa, Deep-Dwelling to...

Other problems with enchantments: - The ease of removing them varies greatly, to the extent that red basically can't do it and the printing of Feed the Swarm was a much more important moment for black than it should have been. If an enchantment is too good, the Grixis colours will have a very...

I like Treacherous Blessing a lot more if you want something in that vein

Duskwatch Recruiter Mikaeus, the Lunarch Mizzium Mortars Winds of Abandon Cyclonic Rift Cut // Ribbons Nissa, Steward of Elements

Pyromancer Ascension One of my favourite cards of all time but almost the exact definition of a card that doesn't work with Cube unless you're on a real trip For cards that I could conceivably Cube but have to be honest with myself about: Trading Post

How often does your opponent have a big flier in most games of Cube and does that make up for all the other games when Rankle is great? Plus they will usually attack with that flier and give you a chance to get a hit in with Rankle Agree with the consensus here - if you have a lot of sac...

MODERN HORIZONS 2 The Modern Horizons sets threaten to blow the roof off any format they are legal in - Pauper is caught in a storm once again and Legacy is even more warped than it used to be. After hemming and hawing over how to rebuild my Cube, I decided to just wait until after MH2 because...

Look at Me, I'm R&D has the desired effect with Charms and does a whole lot of crazy shit

Racked up some more Top 8s - first, another Set Roulette: Ones 4 Entomb 4 Life // Death 1 Griselbrand 1 Craterhoof Behemoth Twos 4 Bitterblossom 4 Tarmogoyf 4 Wild Mongrel Threes 4 Sparkhunter Masticore Fours 4 Roar of the Wurm 2 Liliana, Waker of the Dead Fives 2 Demonic Embrace 1...

Tombstone Stairwell

Priest is a really unique sacrifice payoff especially you can use the mana jump for something big like Living Death

noting that I don't have an interest in this for future (non-)tagging purposes

Gilded Goose Nest Invader Ranger Class Call of the Herd Chatterfang, Squirrel General Lovestruck Beast Nissa, Voice of Zendikar Garruk Wildspeaker Esika's Chariot Toski, Bearer of Secrets Pest Infestation Earthcraft Evolutionary Leap And of course everyone likes Squirrels: Squirrel Dealer

Coming back to the thread title after all this time, I think Stompy can be a lot more interesting now but most of the other themes that have emerged since then are still not well supported. The exception is RG Tokens, which has a lot going for it: - The card pool is deep enough that you can...

I don't think the partner mechanic affects the costing of Commander cards as much since they are aimed exclusively at that format where usual mana curve considerations etc don't apply

Treasure Map is the original and best Treasure card, it's an amazing design and belongs in basically any Cube IMO. Galazeth Prismari is worth a mention too if you want an Urza-style effect that's less pushed and more targeted. Here's a sketch of a version that's ok with stuff like Ragavan...
