Oath's one of those cards that makes people go "oh man, I can do degenerate combo shit with this thing!" If your cube doesn't allow for degenerate shenanigans, then I'd skip Oath of Druids.

Some other designs you missed that Might Be Cool: Inspired Inventor Aether Swooper Era of Innovation Roil Cartographer Cthonian Nightmare Gonti's Machinations Reiterating Bolt Architect of the Untamed Emissary of Soulfire Electrostatic Pummeler And if you do make Energy.cube, bear in mind that...

It's an intersting build-around for a 2-3-7 cube, is the thing. You're not going to want it unless you suddenly decide to have an MV limitation and a pressing need to have extra stuff to spend mana on.

They brought back Devoid because something like Devoid is pretty much necessary if you're going to have a draft environment where "colorless matters" is a draft theme and don't want to rebuild your heuristics from scratch.

Gravedig Party Thrasher Idol of False Gods Some neat two drops. I *really* like the idea of Idol of False Gods as a buildaround.

That ability would need a may... unless you want it to be a trivial source of infinite loops.

Well, that's easy enough to fix! You just need a little bit of sharpie, and... Did I say a little? I meant a lot.

My one issue with the card is that the Landfall trigger is worded in a way that's almost certain to cause misplays.

It's OK, we make Cubes.

Guilty as charged!

Look, as funny as it is to run Dark Depths as a super team buff... OK, actually, no, that's funny as hell. I'm more annoyed because it counts Battles and Planeswalkers, which both start with a bunch of counters by design. Funny Hydra Lady actually likes invading random planes with the...

Honestly, I like that MH3 isn't chock-full of stuff for the people who are already eating good (in the cube context, at the very least). Don't worry, we'll get plenty of cards that work well with more traditional cube archetypes in the *checks notes* three sets that we're going to get after MH3...

There is a part of me that thirsts for this nonsense. Gleaming Fleshwarper - {2}{c} Creature - Eldrazi Drone Whenever you cast a colorless spell, create an Eldrazi Spawn token. Whenever another colorless creature enters the battlefield under your control, ~ deals 1 damage to each opponent...

That's because, to use Fire//Ice as an example, there's a "layout" value in the JSON that cards are stored as. "is:split" is actually just a search for cards with "layout":"split". They don't, actually! If a card's layout says that a card has multiple "parts", there's a special "card_faces"...

I love how the cadence of the Messenger's flavortext is literally a cheer. Petition to rename the card Emrakul's Cheerleader.

"{T}: Add {W}. Create a 1/1 Soldier token." (It's 3am and I can't sleep.)

Perpetuum Mobile should probably be "the first activated ability that isn't a mana ability you activate each turn", otherwise tapping a land for mana uses up the cost reduction...

One nice thing about only playing the land MDFCs is that don't technically need to ever unsleeve them — just tell everyone that they're spells that you can play as taplands that make the corresponding color, and then trust to layout to carry the day. My favorites of the day: Reckless...

This seems pretty good in slower formats. This seems good in faster formats. ... One nice thing about the new MDFC duals is that you can run them alongside the old etb tapped MDFC lands and run into minimum confusion because, hey, they're all spells that you can also play as a tapped land...

Behold, the guy: A 3/3 for {2}{G} isn't a bad floor, but it's so dang versatile once you get past that. Turn your value 1-drop into a 3/3 beater that leaves a 3/3 behind when it dies! Upgrade a token in a similar fashion! Debuff villain's creatures by turning them into vanilla 3/3s that give...
