    I once tried Storm Crow with echo and a cumulative upkeep of 2 sharpied on it, but it was still incredibly broken :(

    Card/Deck [MCD] Equipment

    Yeah, totally. it depends on your power level obviously, but if you can animate it for free regularly, it is pretty good. It works well with sweepers, and in the late game, a +4/+4 bonus can turn a Spirit token into a game winner. The main reason I got interest in this card though, was that i...

    Card/Deck [MCD] Equipment

    My equipment is on the clearly-below-swords-and-jitte-but-still-very-good power level. Bonesplitter A classic, very elegant and strong. The Lightning Bolt of Equipment. Trusty Machete Not quite as good, but still a very serviceable weapon. Sylvok Lifestaff A lot of synergy-potential...

    Ohran Viper has been stellar in my cube since day one. A deathtouch blocker with 3 toughness and a hard to block saboteur in one card, pretty much always generates card advantage if it doesn't eat a removal spell.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    But you can't respond by putting the scavange/embalm card back, because the exiling is a cost. Revival would fizzle.

    Two super interesting and fun enchantments I'm having huge success with: Oath of Ghouls Maybe my favorite dredge build-around-card Quest for the Gravelord Every deck wants this, even aggro. So sweet.

    Card/Deck The House Dimir (UB)

    But I'm only running one per guild :p

    Card/Deck The House Dimir (UB)

    Oops, my bad. Yeah, they're pretty similar, but the guaranteed value of Finkel might be better. At first, I am not running Dominus of Fealty, my Izzet hybrid is Fire // Ice. And second, I don't see the advantage in breaking the symetry. If I can craft a great cube meta while giving every color...

    Nighthowler is great. Also Bone shredder Ruthless Knave Dusk Urchins I run shredder and urchins and they are sweet synergistic cards. Knave could be good because it has 'yard and artifact synergies.

    Card/Deck The House Dimir (UB)

    They are quite different :p One says "you get 2 damage a turn" with no interactions. The other brings a 2/3 evasive attacker/blocker, that let's you play with your opponent's deck if it doesn't get stopped. I had both side by side for a long time, when I had 2 hybrids/guild, and Specter saw...

    Card/Deck The House Dimir (UB)

    I had Infiltrator in before, and it was sometimes really good and I always liked the art. But in the end he was too boring and narrow to maintain it's slot. Nightveil Specter is a much more interesting evasive creature for dimir tempo imo, and also better for slower decks like control.

    Oh wow, I didn't think of this. The synergies with pump are real.

    Yeah, it is a card every deck can use with aggro playabilty and an unique effect. My concern is, that in the end of the day, it is just a repeatable Lightning Bolt, which doesn't sound THAT interesting to me.

    Veteran Motorist deons't do much in my cube sadly, because I only run a single Vehicle, which isn't even aggro playable. And for Anax and Cymede I only have 4 cards or so to trigger Heroic in {R} and {W}, which could lead my players wrong paths. Weapons Trainer is interesting. I mean, he at...

    Card/Deck The House Dimir (UB)

    Dimir has had a special place in my heart since I got my very first advanced pre-con deck back in 2005 with Szadek, Lord of Secrets. Since then, {U}{B} has always been my favorite control deck. But I feel like for cube, there aren't exactly tons of great options for all power levels. What are...

    I'm looking for - a creature - needs {R}{W} mana - is good but not broken/highest tier - should do something interesting, maybe even a little to build around, but at least fasr from boring - I would slighty prefer a aggro-playable card, but no big deal, since boros aggro exists without this slot

    Card/Deck Low power removal that is fun to play

    I like it to have games not to come down to having an answer to a single threat or not. So, whil I cut the super premium removal like Swords to Plowshares and I could see me lowering the power level a little further, I prefer my removal spells to hit as many targets as possible. With more narrow...

    You don't support a Blink deck? I could see this guy being awesome with army-in-a-can guys and stuff. Always wanted to find room for him, but never found the right cut.

    I'm running exactly 3 cc6+ cards in white, and I'm pretty happy with them. Captain of the Watch isn't that much of a control finisher, but great with all the tokens and blink synergies in white. Also solid everywhere else. Adarkar Valkyrie is my favorite. A 4/5 flying vigilance is always...
