    Brad Loves Eldrazi

    Little update and a quick question. I did an MPCFill order. The cube is shrink wrapped in the corner of my room, waiting to be resleeved. Should see some play in the next few weeks here. Should I be adding Up the Beanstalk? I think I must have missed that it cantrips when I first read it. I...

    Yeah. I wanted to critique it for being too pushed, but it's ever-so-slight all-around. Speaking of pushed... that Elspeth...

    There's something cool from a cube design perspective about specifically rewarding ramp, but this exact card does beg to be in a Reanimate->Mass Reanimate type of deck. It's trying to say "We put two options on one card." Simple and effective. Reasonable stats on a pretty cool build...

    Good chance I end up finding some new art and making use of the Nickname frame for proxies someday.

    I feel like we're pretty likely to go on a quest or run into a trap in some Lost Caverns. These make sense flavorfully.

    In this sentence, either word can be correct. It depends what you are trying to say. We are concerned with the noun: dangers. "Few in the empire are fully aware of the dangers that lurk at the edge of the continent." Here, the description of the dangers is necessary information to...

    That's the other thing about "complexity." Just a couple of words can carry a lot of weight. If you want to talk about "coolest," that's the whole reason I made my cube focused around Eldrazi. I think they're cool. Design from there. Also anecdotally, I've heard my players say "I didn't pick...

    Sure, but this is a UB thread and we're talking about two UB sets.

    On which part? I think that's the nature of the crammed release schedule. Their marketing data will determine that lol. I imagine they're attracting other fandoms successfully.

    I find it a bit misleading to claim that most vanilla creatures are boring. Only 5/291 vanillas are rare+ since Isamaru's printing if you're willing to disregard the 9 reprints from the rare pool. Compare that to 4995/12972 for creatures as a whole. I didn't toss out the reprints for the latter...

    Rad makes me think of, like, totally radical, dude! Already more appealing than WHO was, but they're really pushing this UB stuff. I'm sure that the nerds from these other IPs can be easily converted to nerds of MtG, but it's becoming a little alienating to me.

    I like this. It's similar to Commander. Get a little build around that you always have access to.

    That Boar is nice. Could definitely work as like GW ETB with a +1/+1. Remove +1/+1: Naturalize. 2/2 Watchwolf x Qasali Pridemage.

    What we probably actually want? Or maybe "If ~'s power is N or less, ..." so that it's capped to like a 5/5 or something like that.

    I have Erinis, Gloom Stalker coming with "Choose a Background" (and the legend crown, oops!) removed.

    General Current Cube Obstacles

    My issue has been the constant releases. I wasn't happy with my old list. The new list kept getting delayed by all these new ideas in new sets. I finally pulled the trigger and did an MPC order this weekend. $170 and it'll be here in 2 weeks. I'll probably update once per 6 months or so. I...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    At a glance, your list looks like it needs immediate ETB value at 7 mana. There's quite a lot of higher powered cards in there and a player shouldn't spend 3GGWW only to immediately lose to some 1B instant. The other consideration is that Torsten is likely unbeatable when cheated into play for...

    Can we get a QuestingBeastBot that automatically "Like"s posts that have more words than Questing Beast?

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I hate the forced ticking-up, but I played stax in vintage like 15 years ago, so that may be nostalgia talking. It's more "Doom" to force the counter up. I think it's ok for a two color Smokestack to be better than the colorless one. This doesn't need to have a drawback compared to the OG. I...
