I am also still running all three cards I claimed were slamdunks: Mockingbird Mindwhisker Mind drill assailant Mockingbird and Mindwhisker have been exceeding expectations. Super sweet cards that fit my cube like a glove. The Assailant is also doing good, but I could see replacing it at some...

I have a hard time finding cool colorless occasionals, that actually feel like occasionals. I would like to have 5-6 more, maybe you guys have some suggestions? Some utility lands, a few expensive top end cards, a couple of tricks, some equipments I wouldn't want every draft – but I feel like...

Is Kayla really that big of an offender? It's just one ability and could be understood halfway through.

I would argue that it's more important than usually here, so we can have decks feel meaningfully different

Do we want ten rough pair-archetypes as a guidline? And then intertwine them and trow in all the neat little synergy packages and combos that fit in the space between? If so, what could they be? {W}{U} Tap/untap and vehicles/spacecraft? {U}{B} ? {B}{R} Sacrifice {R}{G} Treasures? {G}{W} Food...

Okay, I want a {r/w} card for my occasionals. Something cool and interesting to spice up a draft every now and then. So please tell me which of these you find the most interesting and cool. Power level is not that much of a concern. velomachus lorehold Sparktrooper Razia's purification Queen...

Fwiw, I think Summon: Good King Mog XII is above what I call lower/mid power personally. It's a 4/4 lifelink flier for two attacks/three blocks, and it leaves behind up to 8/12 worth of stats – with lifelink too. And potentially even more, if you happen to have some large tokens laying around.

I think for mid/lower power level cubes, it is the fourth or fifth most fitting payoff for casting noncreature spells specifically. But it's tough to say how strong it really is imo. The top three are pretty clear to me, although I could see an argument for switching 1 and 2. 1. Seeker of the...

Maybe we should collect even more ideas and come up with a rough archetype structure? Also, I would like green to be the #1 control color :o

I've been cubing a little bit now with Aligned Heart and it has been ... fine. It sometimes has it's high notes, but triggering from double spelling on a three drop is not trivial – best outcome so far was a game where someone got five monks from a trigger. The biggest downside is probably...

Yeah, I think Clockwork Fox, while slightly weaker, should lead to more dynamic games. No lifegain, 3/2 instead of a 2/3 and it has three cards drawn instead of one.

Oh, right, forgot about that bug. Necer added it, because Filigree Familiar was already performing very well in my cube and marked the top end of how strong I wanted my colorless value 3-drop to be.

Why is nobody cubing this good boy? Clockwork Fox Blink, bounce, ninjutsu, sacrifice, artifact synergies. He does it all.

Yeah, I alsp noticed that one. But the set has mostly really cool art so far in general. I know, some people don't like the anime-ish style, but honestly, I think this all feels pretty magic-like: High fantasy, weird beasts, spellcasting, historically inspired styles. Although one could argue...

The uncommon hybrid legends are super sweet. I will definitely add Long Feng and the {g/w}, {w/u} and {r/w} ones look good too. Can't wait to see the hybrid cards for boros and simic two shallow hybrid pairs.

Omg, hybrids <3 Where is this preview/leak from? Are there more?

Something that could be cool would be a storm-ish artifact deck. Doesn't need to be combo OHKO, but maybe cards like these: Etherium Sculptor Foundry Inspector Ebthusiast Mechanaut Cloud Key In combination with artifact based card draw: Ichor Wellspring Chromatic Star Skyscanner Thoughtcast...

I'm cubing it for years and I am very hesitant to add overly complicated/confusing cards. I think it is quite an elegant design, honestly. I adore Key to the City btw. It reads innocent enough, but overperforms every – single – time. Madness enabler, graveyard filler, sweet with saboteur...

Yeah, personally, that summarizes my problem with modern magic design. These days everything needs to be well statted. I think the game was much more interesting when you had to choose between stats and value. If you then add the rates we're getting these days (for several years now, tbf) that...

Airbending is pretty cool. It's like half bounce, half blink. You always pay {2} but you get another cast trigger. The thing I hate: the elements showcase frames look awesome, but they will all be used on bending cards and of course none of them will have reminder text. So I wont be able to...
