I think recruitment counters are a bit clunky, so here's my take in weaker and stronger versions (numbers would likely need tweaking, but that's development's problem!): Gatewatch Recruiter- 1w Creature- Human Soldier Ally 1/1 Rally -- When ~ or another ally enters the battlefield under your...

My guess is that with the tango lands in BFZ and the uncommon tapland cycle in OGW both promoting ally colors that we're likely going to see blocks generally alternate between promoting ally and enemy fixing. This makes Standard favor one set over the other a bit for each 6-month period between...

I feel like if I was going to push true colorless to be a thing, I'd almost prefer giving players unlimited access to Blasted Landscape over Wastes.

I'll give Rites the starting position then! Here's a cross-post of mine from MTGS in response to some folks there asking me about my design goals. I figured since I took the time to write it up I might as well stick it here too. --- Some of my design goals are in the updated OP, but I'll...

I'm considering a U/B ninjas package for my cube, but I'm worried that the bounce and Dark Banishing ones will lead to bad experiences for newer players on the receiving end or overly repetitive gameplay. The draw and discard effect ones seem more fair since they don't impact the board state. It...

Thanks! --- A This or That before I go to bed: Vampiric Rites vs. Altar's Reap Black is the color I need to make the most cuts in and I think I could trim down on sac outlets as part of that goal. I don't think my cube needs two of this effect (it might not need either one, but that's...

I am thinking about adding Clutch of Currents and thought of a rules question about Zendikons and awaken. I'm pretty sure if you cast a Zendikon on an already awoken land the enchantment's p/t setting overrides the base of 0/0 from the awaken spell. But I'm less clear about what happens if you...

I'm changing up the enchantments theme in white a bit. I was relying too heavily on Sphere of Safety, which is bad since it's 1) a singleton with no way to tutor for it and 2) there are few ways for black or red to interact with it compared to auras. It's also probably too swingy to be truly...

re: Genjus I've actually run the blue, red, and green ones before. The black one is too mana intensive since it you need 3 mana, once you include the enchanted land, to even attack, and you need to pay an extra {B}{B} to just match the size of the green one. I don't care for the "loophole" on...

Design Blurb - Zendikons! Wind Zendikon Corrupted Zendikon Crusher Zendikon Vastwood Zendikon I'm including this almost-cycle for a couple reasons: They play into white's enchantments theme. All of these can be tutored up from Heliod's Pilgrim and Totem-Guide Hartebeest and boost Blessed...

How many other haste creatures/effects in a deck would it take to make these viable? Ambuscade Shaman Primal Forcemage Are there similar effects in red or artifacts that I've overlooked?

WotC has basically acknowledged that the non-black clause on black removal was kind of dumb. Especially so in limited where it's almost a binary yes/no condition against your opponent's deck (this is also why random protection and landwalk abilities are on the way out). This is why almost all...

I mean, yes, these are the best in class for creature lands. Wanting others to match up so the cycle is more balanced is a fair request, I guess, but I think I'd rather have the cycle balanced at the lower end since at least for the dual land ones, almost any body would make them playable in...

I'm actually glad that WotC hasn't gotten too "creative" with the dual manlands. They're already wordy, powerful cards as is. Getting to decide whether trading or bouncing in combat is better for you is actually a fun decision. What would an impressive manland look like to you?

Just gave this a blind draft and went for Golgari ramp as it seemed like a low risk strategy. I was rewarded with a third pack Pelakka Wurm! It actually feels similar to my peasant cube, which makes sense given that they share a lot of cards. I'd be happy to swap some drafting time on each...

Decided to just rebuild my peasant cube rather than start a completely new project. I'll PM Jason here in a minute to update my thread title. If you check the list using the link in the OP you'll see that it is still quite rough - most colors need some cuts, the gold section hasn't been filled...

Rank these (assuming heroic isn't an explicit archetype): Lightning Berserker Stonewright Dragon Mantle

Is there a way to edit your own thread's title? I'm planning on posting my list later today and can't seem to find how to do that in the edit post interface. I can just make a new thread, but I'd rather not clog the board up if I don't have to.

Looking at 3-drops for my peasant cube revision (think roughly Penny-Pincher power levels), so I'm looking at mechanically satisfying as well as power level: Blood Ogre Splatter Thug Akroan Sergeant Similarly Attended Knight Mardu Hordechief

My hope is that the MTGO Legendary Cube will help break the seal of expanding the public definition of cube. The recent Limited Resources episode on cube also did a good job, I thought, of giving a broad definition of what cube can be.
