    I've been saying for a while that The Black Cube need more 7 mana 4/4s... Damn it. Come on, WotC. Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. This, along with others, may have me taking a look at a light life gain theme. Might have been cooler, and effectively the same, at 13/13 to be a little...

    Looking for a DECK Does anyone here run a tokens deck that doesn't clog the board up? Any tips for not making it clogged? I think trample and evasion are obvious solutions, but a lot of attacking decks have a difficult time with 8 1/1s or whatever.

    I'm likely going to run these as two single faced cards in my Onslaught cube. I don't want people fiddling with sleeves or having to read two big ass paragraphs every few cards.

    I think it's decent, but I'm skeptical. BGw counters? Maybe. These are pretty good, although I find Statement's design quite odd. Strong combination of keywords. Significant that the ability doesn't say "you control." Seems like a serious bear. Probably good. Looks ok at 4 mana and gets...

    Not immediately thrilled at the first black quad hybrid. It's not like Open the Graves was a consideration. That said, flying is a pretty big deal and maybe there's a way to build WB tokens where it doesn't detrimentally jam up the board. Hoping to see more Inklings. This is probably too slow...

    I personally like that Gearhulk has less blowout potential because it's easier to keep your instants in check for single card impact than it is to keep all three card types in check for Scholar. That said, Gearhulk has the ambush blowout potential. Onder's dead on about 7 being decently more...

    Obviously. Am I the only one who didn't realize Ward wasn't just a Frost Titan rewording?

    Personally, I've increased the power level of The Black Cube considerably over the past few years, but still think it would be considered "low powered" by a lot of people's standards. I've felt it obvious that there has been more options to build a decks-not-cards cube at a tier below...

    This is probably the first time I've ever wanted to run GU. "Lands in play" + ramp GU looks cool.

    WB BG are coming. Please give me good quad hybrids. I like the WB BG so far, so I'm pretty excited. EDIT: Let's toss this in before WB and BG get loaded with goodies in the coming days

    Yeah. Red has this and white has that, but it doesn't feel very RW to me. That said, I am glad they're increasing the design space in a very shallow guild and I hope that they do the same for GU. The Titanoth Rex of spell-reanimation. You don't want to hardcast it terribly often. It bins...

    It makes a lot more sense when you piece it out rather than mentally putting it with the similar All Suns' Dawn or Seasons Past in the "mass regrowth" category. Looking over the cards again, some still feel more WB or UR to me, but I can believe most of them as a RW card on an individual...

    While I like these RW cards, aren't they a bit of a stretch for the colors to be doing? Weenie or equipment graveyard interaction I could believe, but that 4 mana 'draw 5' feels like it's just a green card. As I look through all of them, I find that very few actually feel like a RW card. c=rw...

    Perfect. That kind of stuff. Going to scryfall "less to cast"... Which I may have done long ago, but, oh well.

    I'm looking for cards whose CMC is higher than what you'll actually pay for them. I've already got Delve effects I'm interested in and checked Affinity. Stuff to work with Blast of Genius, etc without blowing up the actual curve. As this is for my Onslaught nostalgia cube, you needn't...

    Not sure. Just curious. UG definitely comes to mind as the "untap" colors. I didn't consider this initially, but granting fake vigilance to a big dude isn't a bad plan B. Maybe this has some legs as a ramp subtheme. Some normal rampy guys, handful of untappers that could function as ramp, a...
