This thread is for ideas you want to discuss but which don't really have a place yet, and to collate these ideas in one place so that discussion doesn't have to span multiple threads; once an idea becomes more fleshed out and worthy of its own thread, it can graduate from here. To start, fun...

It looks like the Core Sets are continuing to be excellent stand-alone sets. We've only had about 1/3 of the previews (including lands) and there's already a few cards to discuss. Liliana's Reaver Creature - Zombie Deathtouch Whenever Liliana's Reaver deals combat damage to a player, that...

Don't know how I forgot about Guttersnipe. Love Welder as well, though it's only really feasible in powered lists. I see Grapeshot as a more interesting Arc Lightning/Flames of the Firebrand with a much higher ceiling. Kris Mage is another good Madness enabler. Have you cast Blast of Genius...

How much trouble do you have forming sufficiently deep assessments of new cards given your constant rotation of them (which I like in general, it just carries some obvious problems)?

Crucible and Loam are both fine if Strip Mine isn't in the equation, imo.

In a lot of Cubes, Red is probably the least interesting colour: you can make a R/X aggro deck, you can sprinkle a few burn spells in your control deck, and - if your Cube supports it (and not many do...) - once in a while you can draft the Wildfire ramp deck. Meanwhile, every other colour has...

Thundercloud Shaman seems really cool if you run enough Changelings (Shapesharer, Mirror Entity, Taurean Mauler, Chameleon Colossus, the universally beloved Changeling Berserker/Titan; Cairn Wanderer can be a really fun card to support as well). Also, two of the best Giants are omitted from that...

dat spreadsheet :eek:

I also don't have much time for custom cards in Cube in general, but that's more because of the implementation as I've seen it tried than because I'm opposed to the idea - though I guess that's part of it too (the Custom Cube project or whatever it was that ran on SCG soured me on the idea for a...

Consider Nihil Spellbomb, Offalsnout.

That, and also stuff like Carnophage and Griselbrand being grouped in the same colour despite never being in the same decks.

Cloud of Faeries/Palinchron and Heartbeat of Spring/Mana Flare ought to be there as well. Burning-Tree Emissary in the same vein as the Priests.

I swear I posted this before so apologies if I'm repeating myself, but now that you have 20 fetches, 4 Wastelands, and presumably lots of useful activated abilities, how about Rings of Brighthearth?

If speed is a concern you could auction rows or columns?

Part of me thinks that anybody worth finding on MTGS would be here already... but then, I'm sure some of us were found there, so idk.

Wow, completely forgot about Djinn of Wishes. That's a nice one.

I've been working on this: 4 Burning-Tree Emissary 4 Priest of Urabrask 4 Empty the Warrens 4 Faithless Looting 4 Goblin Bushwhacker 4 Desperate Ritual 4 Pyretic Ritual 2 Grapeshot 3 Haze of Rage 4 Goblin Electromancer 4 Manamorphose 4 Steam Vents 4 Scalding Tarn 1 Sulfur Falls 4 Shivan Reef 6...

I like it. Obviously most of the Zombie support is going to come from red, but finding ways to tie it into other colours can only help. Given that you have 20 fetches and presumably a ton of other activated abilities, what about Rings of Brighthearth?

This is an idea that Jason (iirc) floated on the Google group but was never fleshed out any further. I think it's worth discussing though, even if only as a thought experiment. We've all run up against the problem of having to cut borderline Cube-worthy cards from our lists so as to not dilute...
