Could you say anything to maybe reduce my concerns? Where is the sweet spot where it is neither unbeatable nor too slow?

Love your thoughtful analysis here. The reason why I shy away from Genesis is that some people say, it would always either be too slow or feel unbeatable. That being said, I know that some people run and love it, isn't that true @Onderzeeboot ?

Roar of the Wurm is probably in my top 10 favorite magic cards of all time. It's just perfect. A simple design with a lot of depth. I mean, an aggressive madness deck, a grindy dredge deck and a mono green ramp deck all want to have it, yet they all maximize it in a different way.

Hmm, yeah, so 7 mana is a lot for the flashback if you just mill it over. But with threshold it already provides you with a selfmill payoff on the front if you draw it. It also has the advantage to be better in token strategies as it goes wider. And it creates a token I already cube. Beast...

I want a green card that has a solid base line and is, most importantly, sweet value to mill it over. I want to push golgari and simic selfmill decks. Beast Attack Grizzly Fate Masked Admirers Which one would you chose and why? Edit: Updated the cotestants.

There is definitely a downside to it. When you look back there is a post in this thread from about a year ago where japahn points out, that my less enfranchised friend had his artifact deck not working out well because it couldn't decide between being a deck that wants Bomat Courier and one that...

Thank you for your feedback! I love food tokens, Foreboding Fruit, The Underworld Cookbook and Gilded Goose have all been in there at some point. Gumdrop Poisoner is tempting, but the thing is that lifegain is really mostly a white theme. Black and green offer some incidental lifegain, but I...

Finally did another draft, this time with six people in total. We had a great time and it proved my biggest change of my winter update successful. Here come the lists (results are shown in W-L-D) 1. {W}{U} Blink Midrange 3-0-0 (6-1) Ones 1 Goldmeadow Harrier 1 Giant Killer Twos 1 Ninja of...

Man, if it was just one mana more expensive the Wight would've been the golgari card I've always wanted. It combines dredge, sacrifice and land strategies. But it is most likely a little bit too good.

I did a draft of your cube https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/73d75cf0-260d-4fd5-8717-c34ae384990c It was fun! A few things I noticed here: There was very very little fixing. I would highly recommend to add at least a couple cycles of simple tapped lands to reduce non-games. Also, I'm not sure...

I've played my fair share of yugioh back then and while I have some nostalgia for it, I just think it's not really a great game mechanically. However, my buddy had a PS1 game when we were in elementary school, where you could improve your weak monsters in game by just fusing two of them...

Disgusting

Slightly nerfed Mulldrifter that has a body that can close out a late game and can be played in mono green might be just what my cube wants.

Yeah, also really looking forward to those cards. Especially lower rarity cards are often really cool and creatively designed, yet simple and elegant enough for cube. Also looking forward to more retro frames.

What intrigues me about these cards, is that they're actually worse when you are on the play. A nice little balancing of the inherent disadvantage you have.

Wow, Grists origin story is so touching

I just note down some basic guidelines, like some themes that I would like to support or so. Not too detailed. Then I check if there are any cards, that I want to be in there 100% and I'll just add them. Then what I often do is note down an estimated curve like this: Black ~30/28 (That's...

Spectral Sailor Harrier Strix Can't decide. Do I want a card that interacts better with blues instant speed interaction or won't blue control decks play it anyway? Do I rather want one with (even more ninja and) discard/graveyard synergies, or is the loot ability too expensice to matter anyway?

Would it be as good, better or still weaker as that card (Evolution Sage) if Tangela was a 0/0 that entered with two +1/+1 counters?

Tangela {2}{G} Whenever you cast your second spell each turn, proliferate. 2/2 ? How good is this card? In my Pokécube there are no pws, but lots of +1/+1 counters, mostly in temur, -1/-1 counters in jund and energy in grixis.
