    Bouncing 4 of your own permanents is a big ask though. I think if I want a 6 mana sweeper like this, considering it's implications as a ramp spell, especially in a format as fast as mine, probably not actually going to move the needle at all :P And yeah upheval is too much :P

    Thinking more about flood of tears, mini fight club: vs Rivers Rebuke vs Cyclonic Rift I was initially excited for flood, but I've never really been happier with the other two, and making it weaker doesn't really fix that.

    Yes, but your command zone is an extension of your hand, where your graveyard isn't. Hell, a ton of mechanics and sets exist to emulate that connection :P

    Okay thats a sweet art for sun gem, I might steal that idea now :D Why doens't graveyard ninjitsu sacrifice the creature though? Edit: you have clearly chosen the wrong art for sun gem: :P

    This probably depends on the speed of the cube. If it's fast enough that no regular midrange deck is ever hitting 8 mana without investment, then they might be poisonous. If games are ending on turns 5-6, it's narrow because the only way it's hitting play is with heavy ramp or heavy control...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    It is time to retire Aristocrats. Sad to see something that's been part of my cube since day 1 leave, but it's been a tough nut to crack. As my format gets more and more fair over time, the endless supply of 2/1s offered by black is becoming a real issue for the rest of the archetypes...

    Okay, now time to make fun of things: Why is this so defensive? You already have a toughness matters aspect on the card, but this doesn't work on blocking creatures like similar effects? As a designer, you really need to encourage players to attack, not lean into the reticence newer players...

    Apparently every designer contributing loves Raised by Wolves, because I've seen multiple nods to it :p I've always kinda wanted a more beefy green 6, and this works way better than a 6 drop that dies to pyroclasm ought to. This is a sweet little minigame. I like that it's on a creature, but...

    Next up: Aftermath This one's a bit more like ice ace, both in theme and power level. A lot of the cards here seem deliberatly make weaker, with the usual exploitable angles patched out. An interesting idea. But again, the coolest thing you could do with this isn't allowed. Maybe that's for the...

    Treasure Chest :4: Artifact :1:, :t: Choose a card name, then reveal the top card of your library. If this card has the chosen name, sacrifice Treasure Chest and draw three cards. Activate this ability only when you could play a sorcery. Top of library matters theme? :D That's one hell of...

    Creatures Matter Cube

    I think the best thing about this cube is the implication that creatures don't normally matter :P

    There's a lot of words on this card, but they add up to a fun little minigame that draws you a bajillion cards, so I'm kinda in. Even feels pretty UG. Hard to do for a card this out there. Maybe these aren't the right numbers, but the idea here is solid. Okay, this is so cool :D TRIPLE...
