A note on synergistic strategies and 2hg. You are drawing 2 cards per turn, so this can mean going through a larger amount of cards. If a combo piece exists so that works with the one combo piece + any one of these others them chances are higher that you find the combo. For example, my friends...

We've stated this before; designing cube environments that borrow from modern and legacy is hard, because how a single card can be such a huge part of the meta of a constructed format but is only ever a single copy in cube. There's only one brainstorm, there's only on thoughtseize etc.

That's tricky. I feel like it's both a matter of having there be enough support to make it worth picking up and building around, but even with support only 1 copy might not be enough to move into that strategy. The best thing is probably to look over that the support exists to make a deck that...

How's blasphemous act?

Doesn't it though? Doesn't active player choose in what order etb goes on the stack? (Also, excellent lists!)

What additional utility?

How would doomed traveller play with something like exalted? As in you staple exalted on the guy.

It seems pretty flexible! I'm kinda intrigued by giving the low cmc decks more fun ways to recurr, and that guy seems to be that kind of tricky card. Worst case scenario is a 4 point life swing for 2 mana, which seems okay. Would the deck that runs this have time to get bodies to sack and recurr...

Is sadist good enough outside of that really cool interaction?

I think a pretty good rule of thumb is to answer the question "Does this card open up room for interesting decks while simultaneously being very unique in the magic pool at large?". The more true it is the more you can justify breaking singleton. See our double fetch experiment or doubling up on...

I think radiant depends on what you want out of the format since it by definition of the rules caps out at 3. As far as I know it caps out at 3 since you can't spend mana when it's done and payed.

No an actual example of what the deck would look like. I feel like it would be easier to judge the considerations if we have a reference.

Shriekmaw that can go to face sounds pretty mean.

There was some talk of "Bant Lands". Maybe we can whip together a sample list using some of the new lands, knight of the reliquary and scapeshift?

loaming shaman Not super exotic maybe but a sort of fringe silver bullet? Admittedly in the same vein as rec sage.

There's apparently been some iteration. I saw that card being used in an scg open stream, so I looked for a list that was similar. At least we now know two very different approaches are viable. Also, sorry for posting the same list twice more or less I didn't notice the post near the first one...

Yeah, honestly the PWs are more just sweet because they're sort of bomby right? They don't really open up for that many new decks or ways to play old decks in our cubes?

It's dirt cheap to get the sweet cards if you're in the vicinity of FNM drafts!

I'll comment more in depth but after reading the spoilers I'm really feeling this set. I love how clear the identity is on Zendikar's wild life, it's population and the Eldrazi. A lot of neat processors, making the whole exile library thing feel more sensible. Also we're back at sweet 6+ mana...

Absolutely, but a vanilla 3/2 is also pretty unexciting!
