    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    I like court homonculblahblahblah way more than ardent recruit If you wanted to double up. Meatalcraft guys who aren't artifacts have always been a bit akward

    Don't get me wrong, I do love the unearthy thing, (Jeez that + Bone Shredder. Yeah I'll Decline to pay echo thank you) I just wanted to point out it also works in white too, but for different reasons. Unearth is a cool guy. Maybe your right on green mans. I never think of reanimator. I love...

    I think his point was more to make sure everyone had stuff to do at early turns/encourage eking out small advantages rather than slamming grave titan and laughing. Green was the notable exception to this rule, and he also has 0 accelleration outside of green IIRC. Then again, I might be...

    I don't think I'll be doing any changes until I at least have Fate Reforged figured out, but good to keep in mind!

    Is it the searing spears maybe? Probably not, since I think I have the highest searing spear density of just about anyone, burn spell wise. (Meaning percentage of burn spells that deal 3+ damage, not percentage of cube that is searing spear, in this case) It will suck if he just dies EOT every...

    Thanks man! I actually have to go get some new pieces at some point. I've been using the same (Admittedly big) collection of sourced images for a while now, and I'm noticing a few gaps in it. I've got quite a few deviantart galleries to sift through when I get some time

    Enemy Guild Themed Cube

    One thing that is really apparent in Kahns is that if you want to incentivize something, make everything else less good :p Compare Abzan Guide Witness of the Ages Lifelink is big

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    I don't even know if it's a question of power level, but the surrounding stuff. I find in cube your mana is more constrained and games don't tend to peter out as easily, so mana is less available, and you'd be totally willing to trade a few cards you might end up casting anyway (Crawler) for a...

    FSR did a kinda mini-article about his cube design that said 80% of his cards cost 3 or less, pushing people towards the kind of curve you discribe here. I've tried it (Hot damn is it hard with some colors tho) and it seems sweet so far

    I like reawaken, but the instant speed always made me think white for some reason I dunno, you know when you cast selsnya charm for a 2/2 vigilence after they wrath? It feels like that to me (and for some reason my brain doesn't think that's green for some reason) Hmmmm, wolfir avenger tho...

    Come on man, 2 power. He does have double strike after all! And hey, if there's literally nothing to pump him maybe he'll be a bit worse, but a single bonesplitter lets him chew through blockers, let alone something silly like grafted wargear. Thirdly, if he can kill a blocker with first strike...

    Me too! I will say I love prowess more than the traditional young pyromancer style, but both are sweet now that we have some redundancy there. Also, something positive for once: Oh god if you activate the ability you can force all their guys to group block a bloodghast so the one downside...

    The only problem is that "excells in" actually means "Has about a 40% chance of flipping". I don't know what the odds of delver flipping would have to be to make me want it, but I think 50% is still too low.

    Lets throw out some insane numbers here and assume your deck is 16 land, 4 delvers, and 20 spells. That deck would be horrible and threat light as all hell, but that's still a damn coinflip for delver to be worth something. I don't think I want any card that is literally 50/50 on being...

    Next level sarcasm :P I'm not actually sure what you mean here. Bent as in "close to broken"? Bent as in "Does a lot of things"?

    I don't want blue to just become other colors. I want blue to have an identity beyond super niche things, control, and being too broken to print. Wildcall --> Super Boring :p Also boring: Basically just hill giant over here. I thought the white one that "makes a bear for 1W" didn't really need...

    A deck is not "Base blue" if it has to borrow half it's curve and basically ALL it's creatures from another color

    Actually you know what, I'm going deeper here. Check these blue 2 drops. Even if we accept that delver/raptor/bear is a fine card, here's what you're following them up with: We have the "Too small to actually contribute to beatdown": Great as they may be, they don't really advance an aggro...

    Cheap: 0-2 mana. Snapcaster costs 3+ unless you're flashing back gitaxian probe, and there's a million good blue 3s: Serendib Efreet Vendilion Clique Man-o'-War Stitched Drake Kira, Great Glass-Spinner True-Name Nemesis Trinket Mage Wake Thrasher The backbone of an aggro deck is the 1s and...
