Bounce lands are pretty good I'm control and storm type decks I love land destruction though so I dunno. Maybe I can design a better bounce land... Like big sligh is actually a pretty cool / fun deck to play in the right environment, it also really suits the more prudent attitudes toward...

Making good UR or UB attrition blocker might be a huge step in the right direction for Grixis among other decks. I know I very rarely pass up epochrasite in one of those decks if I'm comparing it to other decent cards.

A lot of these designs are kinda inelegant but broadening my scope when it comes to this 3 colour control/ slow-tempo colour combo might be a good idea. Giving gixis decks more ways to spend mana might rule but in my experience they often play more instants and sifting and man lands than...

why don't you like contract? It's pretty flavorful! I really just wanted an excuse to give black a playable pseudo baneslayer because it needs more ability to midgame stabilize and I figured it needed to be better than lifelink air elemental but it couldn't be tougher or fight better than one...

Yes, I can acknowledge that someone might want to play that card under some sort of circumstances. It still sorta strikes me as a "bad Inspiration" though, but I'll also tell you I consider cards like Kroasan Tusker and Fact or Fiction to be "good Inspiration" Does anyone here think 2, 2 Gem is...

Now there's a bad inspiration!

Its six mana for 3 cards. I feel like we can do better. Maybe if it was an easier curve but I unno. Do you run cheap answers? You only really wana play this card if you are reliably able to remove something + play it or activate it consistently. This card at 2, 2 might even be fair.

It feels like the kind of card I'd like to be fun and solid and reasonable but when I think about it, seems like a pipe dream. Losing to swingy pants decks is kinda low on my list and this is like the swingiest of pants cards that only makes its way into one deck and is very rarely capable of...

but none of the black threes we have currently 1) Block very well besides nighthawk 2) Do a good job of clocking on their own besides maybe lifebane 3) Are the sort of cards your control deck can lean on. So many black 3s don't fight well or a number of decks can't get behind them. Fleshcarver...

Waiiiiiit A splashable 4/4 trampler for 3 with a negligable downside is meh? It's a huge roadblock and cheap clock with mana up! You guys don't like my walker? I think it'd be pretty sweet! I think it would be rare to use the damage plus unless you low on life, or you are trying to weaken a...

Sassy Sadist {B} Creature - Human Wizard {T}, Pay 1 life: Put a +1/+1 counter on Sassy Sadist. {B}, {T}, Remove X +1/+1 counters from Sassy Sadist: Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn. 1/2 A good black blocker, but sadly, still costs life. : )

But cycling +flashback is the whole idea! Its a great pairing! You people have no vision.... Mental Mentor {U} Creature - Human Wizard {U}, {T}: Draw a card and then discard a card from your hand Threshold - Mental Mentor gets +1/+1 and flying 1/2 Fickle Fiend {2}{B} Creature - Demon Trample...

but what does any of that have to do with the sorcery?

frothy?

waaaay back I made a whack of custom cards to support a soldier theme in cube for white weenie. Among them was a soldier mogg war marshal in white. I'll try to find them because many were kinda OP at the time but may not be now.

How do you do lands in your list again?

You're up to what feels powerful in your cube a 4/4 trampler for 5 is not horrible in tonnes of environments you can make if it's only the downside of a better card. But again, I've outlined what you probably want as a support network before so as frustrating as it is to hear people who aren't...

I love damage splitting but in the wrong cube it's pretty oppressive. People learned the hard way not to let me have 2x arc lightning in peasant. I'll cram those in wherever I can. In many formats reds removal is the strongest and I believe it is silly how heavily people here police black and...

Pauper isn't Peasant and is an incredibly inbred metagamey constructed format but I know that doesn't suit your existing position so I dunno it's easy to forget these things. Madness was good in peasant for a bittle but things like affinity and like OP old cards turn it into a very fair deck...

Madness can often be cost reduction + card advantage. If flashback was usually doing that I might agree with you. I like that it makes spells more modular. I remember a day when I really didn't mind hardcasting arrogant wurm in cube.
