    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    Push him how? I'm almost sure he needs echo... maybe echo :u:? Make him a 3/3? I think the delver idea has more to do with just the pure density of the cards in your deck. Even if it's 3 delvers and 20 spells, it'll still be miserable flipping it because your odds are 50/50 there. Would we...

    General HWO MAENY CRTAUERE??

    Thats an interesting idea Jason. What is the removal percentage in your cube? My cube sits at an intentionally paltry 10.5% (by more liberal interpretations) and 3.3% sweepers. (Also liberal) I remember one of the problems I had with disenchant was that it kept getting left in the sideboard...

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    Genju is sweet because (Like raging ravine) you can activate it mutliple times and get lots of counts of old lifelink, so it's a manland that is actually kinda sweet on T6 Faithmender sounds ballin :p

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    My blue section is 47%: Faerie conclave counts, Thassa doesn't I'm not so worried about the overall number, because if your white section is 100% creatures, and your blue section is 0%, your still at 50%, but you definitely can't play blue aggro. I too love vapor snag. It's out right now...

    In a traditional cube enviornment, no, monstrosity doesn't work at all, the same way Auras don't work. No reason to sink a pile of mana into a creature if there's a 100% chance it'll get pathed. If you switch to sorcery removal, don't add so much, there might be a reason. I think most of us...

    General HWO MAENY CRTAUERE??

    the overall percentage of creature density of your cube isn;t really important, but can be an interesting surface statistic to inform you that you might have a case of the boardstalls. More important I find is the individual percentages for each color, like blue is typically 30% creatures 70%...

    There might be, but I think it opens up some interesting space. This could be played in a deck with 0 mountains, for eg. Also it keeps both the bestow and mana costs low if I can't gaurentee a given deck can cast both halves of the card. Were the whole card red the bestow cost might have to go...

    Yeah Lucas wants him to cost {2}{R} to cast, which IMO kinda defeats the point of the creature :p I'm not really looking to have off colored bestow costs....hmmm that could be cool... Edit: Yay! I got to use the ginger samurai art! :D Edit 2: That's not how bestow is worded...

    Okay I'll admit he probably need to be :r::r:, but lets assume he's one of those soldier of the pantheon > savannah lions type rares for the moment. What are we looking at for a bestow cost? (Keep in mind Leafcrown Dryad has the cheapest available at the moment)

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    My idea behind blue aggro was the idea of "advance your board while causing incidental setbacks on your opponent's side" with the aformentioned manowar, spellstutter sprite, memory lapse etc and ride a single strong creature (delver, cloudfin raptor) and the mediocre bodies which come with your...

    FWIW, inherently signets are broken because splashing is so easy, not because 2 mana acceleration is broken. Strong sure, but controlled like any other effect they're fine. Also CML, if you have 0-2 2 drop accelerates in your cube, how do ramp decks exist? Are there just a million rampant...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    I like the ability of white decks to over-commit to the board, but I think I can go about it in different ways ( :2:{W} double unearth, call it Sun's Breath, after Frost Breath?) so that I can commit to this double strike instead of tokens idea. Giving creature decks virtual cards might be...

    My playgroup has been pretty anti miracle, possibly on being soured on Bonfire :P Even if they were, I don't think entreat looks that interesting to me. I dislike miracle enough as a mechanic because of my hardline bias against unnecessary variance, so I'm not sure even I'll like it. I think...
