Another thing to consider on this topic, although probably difficult to quantify, is usage of keywords. Specifically, something like Cacade or Encore has 5+ lines of reminder text. If you're only running 1-2 cards with those mechanics, that might as well be real text because people are usually...

I have a bunch of unusual black nonbasics and haven't felt the need to run any of those.

Is One Time a cube title? ;) I really like flying.dec. I always think it's cute for some reason.

Loving that huge Golem. We need more MASSIVE artifact creatures. Eldrazi currently own most of the colorless fatty real estate. Krark's expectedly flippy and fun.

Seems like a bit over 20 is what the game kind of lends itself to. I found it interesting that searching for "is:frenchvanilla" yielded cards that just had Unleash or something. Technically french vanilla, but a limited time keyword like that still requires reminder text to be read, whereas...

Without researching, I'd guess multicolor cards are higher rarity on average and higher rarity cards are wordier on average, as well.

I just went through vanilla and evergreen-french vanilla creatures to explore a low word count and it kind of has that classic feel on first pass. All these creatures do is provide a body. Very old school vibe. https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/5f94a367cff9250fce6d3313

Kind of curious now how low we could go while still having something cool. Honestly, probably pretty damn low. Vanilla and french vanilla beaters are plenty respectable. Part of why my word count's so high is all my red cards have the whole "blah blah exile it" text, but basic burn spells are...

Yeah. I'm OK with my 6 drop letting me empty my hand of lands. REALLY cute with bounces. EDIT: I actually wish this guy had allowed for an extra land drop ancient greenwarden That said, the second ability works with Kodama. Is there some sort of loop here?

The downside to that merfolk is it's SO MANY words, but the 4 toughness is definitely nice. Havengul Lich was a card I had for a while before I really trimmed my top end and this feels sort of similar. Definitely on my radar, but might be too much investment for a one turn dude.

Looked at a Zedruu list for red cards for Blim humble defector bazaar trader aggressive mining steel golem goldnight castigator goblin cadets bronze bombshell jinxed idol trial of ambition oubliette demonic pact demonic pact demonic pact A lot of this is probably too cute, but it's a 4/3 flyer...

For Seraph, I got curious and scryfell it. There's so many artifacts that are good or alright with her. Just keep her in mind when you make your artifact section and she should be successful if waiting a turn to attack in the late game is something your cube affords.

True. I assumed you were trying to build them up, but giving them The Coin instead of a card is pretty decent.

They'd just sac the treasures ;), but I'm pretty sure BR has a decent number of cards that create things for opponents. Not going to scryfall it right now, but it's interesting. I like the bounce. I just reworked my cube to have Eldrazi themes in it and there's only 4 black bounces, so getting...

Secret Lair: Game of Thrones Season 8

Hope Tender seems decent if your format supports bears as legitimate attackers and has bounce lands to make the untap more valuable. Restorer goes infinite with Maze of Ith, I guess. Restorer is also decent if you want to hit like 8+ mana or something, but it's slow on CMC and on threshold...

As someone who's very anti free-tempo-ETB-bullshit, Wolf is not as heinous because it's pretty limited in how much tempo it can steal. For Vel, some of the blue ETB bounce mages might work for you. There's one on basically every CMC.

You only need one zombie before he becomes rather good. Imagine if he ETB'd a zombie. I think he's fun and encourages a few different decks, at least in The Black Cube. He can go in Bru flashback, Bx recursive aggro, BGx value yard. Anyone whose black section is heavily interacting with the...
