I’ve definitely considered both Saffi and Voice, but I’m not into the idea of weighting guilds. I’m pretty traditional in my approach to cube design and I enjoy the process of balancing. I have utilized a separate hybrid section at times, but that’s about as close as I get. The original idea...

I'll hear nothing of this disrespect. I used to wreck tables with Death Spark and Krovikan Horror. So what if it was almost 25 years ago....

I've long been a fan of your multiplayer cube, so I'm excited to dig into this list. The sample decks look great. I've been dancing around a similar archetype in my cube, but mostly from the sacrifice angle. You definitely show some of the merits to committing to the +1/+1 counters subtheme. As...

It's a good suggestion. I supported the "Elfball"/Earthcraft deck in the first version of the cube with this package: Earthcraft Cryptolith Rite Rishkar, Peema's Renegade Recruiter of the Guard Ranger of Eos Mikaeus, the Lunarch Chord of Calling Hangarback Walker Walking Ballista I've been...

Still quietly tinkering away at the higher powered list here: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/1vnnj Experimenting with a bigger suite of mana elves. My focus of today is ¡surprise! Selesnya. The token theme was a sham as designed, and "creature value" too vague. The issue with the selesnya...

I have a version of storm filed away in the back of my mind based around Brain Freeze + Underworld Breach Brain Freeze is one of the more interesting storm wincons to me as it can also assist with a Thassa's Oracle win. I like that it can both be a set up piece with Underworld Breach/Yawgmoth's...

Junji looks like a lot of fun with: Apprentice Necromancer Makeshift Mannequin Feldon of the Third Path Sneak Attack

Brought back can be a bit more valuey with the two cmc and two return limit….it can be a pseudo rampant growth with a fetch land for whatever that’s worth. I like that it can return a planeswalker that dies…seems novel with sneak attack and fun with wasteland. At two mana it can be a combat...

Other support/overlap: bloodghast Hidden stockpile Rankle, master of pranks Death cloud By invitation only Cataclysm Land tax Tithe Weathered wayfarer Vindicate

I’m a big fan of version b. I’ve almost run it many times in my cube. It’s just never felt right to have multiple cards with UUU in the casting cost, and Jace, Wielder of Mysteries is more important

Some of my unmentioned favorites when I ran rector: keranos, god of storms Puprhoros, god of the forge Nightmare shepherd Pattern of Rebirth mirari’s wake Yawgmoth’s bargain Saproling burst it’s not an easy card to support, and I think if you aren’t using it for combo or in an enchantment...

I appreciate the kind words! Despite my lack of posting, this is very much an active thread, and I always welcome any comments, criticisms, or suggestions. I've mostly spent the last couple of weeks tweaking the higher powered list. Shuffling cards in and out each day. It's a challenge, but I'm...

Ertai's Familiar

There's also Fungal Rebirth I'm leaning towards Dryad's Revival being too slow for my cube. I thought the flashback would make it more valuable than Regrowth, but a 3cmc Regrowth just feels too clunky to me.

Gifts can be a comparable value draw like FoF, but gifts guarantees 2 of the best 4 cards in your deck. If you run a heavy graveyard theme with flashback, escape, etc gifts often feels like a draw 4. You can pick 4 cards that are all great in hand or in the graveyard. Gifts can be a tutor or...
