Yeah, I want to say that Massacre Wurm was definitely on the GRBS list back in the day. But hey, look at these 6-mana buddies: Arbiter of Woe Goremand Also, at varying power levels: Eternal Dragon Mirrorshell Crab Agonasaur Rex Krosan Tusker Colossal Skyturtle

The idea was that you'd have a little bit of the macroarchetypes in their "off" colors (kinda like how ZKR has at least one card of each Party type in each color). So (to give a bit of a silly example) a player on a {B/R} sac deck might splash into green because they drafted Heaped Harvest...

Not the same card, exactly... but they're more similar than they look at a glance.

I think it's less of a high vs. low power thing and more of a speed thing? A good rule of thumb is that, barring some nutty synergies, each extra mana you ramp into costs you a turn. In most formats you can take one turn off to set-up and power out your midgame before villain is ready, but you...

0/10, the card doesn't demand pictures of Spiderman.

I don't think that ramp spells generally go in prowess decks because the pinch there is usually having spells to cast rather than mana to cast them - Nature's Lore and Opt ultimately cost you one mana on the turns you cast them, but Nature's Lore does nothing else that turn while Opt lets you...

Kinda inspired by ZKR, but... what if we centered the four big macroarchetypes of Things Wot You Can Do With Artifacts in the four non-green color triangles, and then filled out the rest of the cube with build-arounds and microarchetypes? So the cube would broadly look something like: {W}{U/B}...

It'll Quench Ya! at least has the decency to be a double reference...

I honestly like Omen better than Adventure as a mechanic.

Evaluating this as a Rix Maadi Reveler variant that needs to jump through hoops and not a Burning-Tree Emissary variant with an attached mana sink feels a bit off to me.

If I have to pick from the ones that are already there... it's probably Getaway. Outside of that, I'd like to suggest one of the following: General Ferrous Rokiric Radiant Scrollwielder

So... do we want to keep to singleton, or should we include this little guy? Myr Servitor It's effectively a token producer that rewards you for drafting ways to cheat extra copies into the graveyard.

OK, why did no one post this card? The Cabbage Merchant On the one hand, it's a goofy-ass card based off of a joke of a side-character. On the other hand, I really like the mini-game the card creates, where it has a pretty strong hatebear effect that villain can interact with without having to...

It'd honestly be really easy to paint over Appa in this one.

Ironically, I think one of the big reasons for the inflated stats (outside of the most popular Magic format literally having six times the life total to chew through) is that removal has been slowly getting better over time. If you can kill of most creatures in the format by paying 1-2 mana at...

Drafna, Founder of Lat-Nam I personally love this wacky guy, and would like to propose including it in the cube.

Ugh I was going to ignore this one but Lessons are here. That said, I'm not a fan of the fact that the four core mechanics are completely different despite having similar names. I honestly like it - Magic is historically really bad about printing subtypes for spells once and then never...

It'd be fun to do this as a cube thing, because then you can curate cards that work well with the tweaked rule (or just make customs of the cards that you like). That said, I think I like the idea of just one extra card instead of two - I've played a bit with Kenessos, Priest of Thassa, and the...

Funny idea: Make a cube where scrying or surveiling are treated as equivalent for any synergies. Funnier idea: Also include exploring. I could honestly see Enhanced Surveillance + Maps being a cool "secret" archetype. Funniest idea: Oh, and any time a creature tells you to surveil it actually...

I read this as "you can pick up your fixing lands for value (cycling or the free surveil) later", with the tempo loss mostly being a side effect.
