    Card/Deck The House Dimir (UB)

    I had Infiltrator in before, and it was sometimes really good and I always liked the art. But in the end he was too boring and narrow to maintain it's slot. Nightveil Specter is a much more interesting evasive creature for dimir tempo imo, and also better for slower decks like control.

    Oh wow, I didn't think of this. The synergies with pump are real.

    Yeah, it is a card every deck can use with aggro playabilty and an unique effect. My concern is, that in the end of the day, it is just a repeatable Lightning Bolt, which doesn't sound THAT interesting to me.

    Veteran Motorist deons't do much in my cube sadly, because I only run a single Vehicle, which isn't even aggro playable. And for Anax and Cymede I only have 4 cards or so to trigger Heroic in {R} and {W}, which could lead my players wrong paths. Weapons Trainer is interesting. I mean, he at...

    Card/Deck The House Dimir (UB)

    Dimir has had a special place in my heart since I got my very first advanced pre-con deck back in 2005 with Szadek, Lord of Secrets. Since then, {U}{B} has always been my favorite control deck. But I feel like for cube, there aren't exactly tons of great options for all power levels. What are...

    I'm looking for - a creature - needs {R}{W} mana - is good but not broken/highest tier - should do something interesting, maybe even a little to build around, but at least fasr from boring - I would slighty prefer a aggro-playable card, but no big deal, since boros aggro exists without this slot

    Card/Deck Low power removal that is fun to play

    I like it to have games not to come down to having an answer to a single threat or not. So, whil I cut the super premium removal like Swords to Plowshares and I could see me lowering the power level a little further, I prefer my removal spells to hit as many targets as possible. With more narrow...

    You don't support a Blink deck? I could see this guy being awesome with army-in-a-can guys and stuff. Always wanted to find room for him, but never found the right cut.

    I'm running exactly 3 cc6+ cards in white, and I'm pretty happy with them. Captain of the Watch isn't that much of a control finisher, but great with all the tokens and blink synergies in white. Also solid everywhere else. Adarkar Valkyrie is my favorite. A 4/5 flying vigilance is always...

    Card/Deck The Boros Legion (RW)

    Yeah, battalion is fine as a guilds mechanic, a much better fit than radiance was after all. I like Rally the Peasants too, but it felt akward to run it AND Glory of Warfare in a 4-card section. And I think the enchantment is better. It is not instant speed and can't make for the swingy wins...

    Card/Deck The Boros Legion (RW)

    Sweet card indeed. My only problem with battalion is, that it feels so much like a win more mechanic. It only does something when you can attack with 3+ dudes.

    Card/Deck The Boros Legion (RW)

    It is a nice Wildfire variant, which is a very fun card to me. So is Destructive Force and Devastation and Upheaval. They are costy finishers you have to build around, it is okay when they makle winning almost impossible for your opponent. The boros variant that came to my mind works with...

    Card/Deck The Boros Legion (RW)

    I can comfirm that Assemble the Legion is super brutal and unfun, and you shouldn't run it. It's like four times as brutal Sprout Swarm. I wish we could get this card: Skyfires {5}{R}{W} Sorcery (R) Destroy all permanents. Maybe even for {1} cheaper, but I would slam it as it is. And they...

    General Fight Club

    I'm testing Counterpart right now, and so far it has been decent thanks to instant speed. My hope is for it to be strong in the blue graveyard lists where you can get multiple Honored Hydras or Nighthowlers, but I could see me replacing it easily. Vizier is A LOT stronger imo. Clone isn't bad...

    Card/Deck The Boros Legion (RW)

    Boros is a difficult guild. if you want cards that do more than aggression, there isn't all that much to chose from. And even the aggressive cards aren't all that exiting imo, in all power level regions. What are you running in your Boros sections? What themes/archetypes do you support? Did...

    Thanks guys for all these suggestions! I see it should be really easy to get a few more into blue. In black, Cryptbreaker might just be what I was looking for. In green however, I'm not super exited by most cards. I wish we could get a Grapple with the Past on a body like Satyr Wayfinder...

    And Merfolk Looter comes in the objectively superior old frame ;)

    Baloth Null seems a lot better to me if you want a BG Gravedigger.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I have 235 creatures in my cube, 102 of which die to dark blast used once! I also support dredge and black doesn't have many cheap graveyard fillers like it. It is certainly a card to board in and out depending on the match-up, but if your cube isn't incredibly high powered, it should make you...

    I'm looking for more cards that support dredge with filling the 'yard early, while being flexible enough as good picks for other decks. - Castable with {U}{B}{G}-Mana, meaning colorless cards would be sweet too - Converted mana cost 3 or less - being able to put 2+ cards in your graveyard...
