Is there an quick way to view the total cmc of your cube on cubetutor? My Cube CMC Breakdown is: W: 3.122 U: 3.102 B: 2.857 R: 2.735 G: 3.102 Multi: 3.5 Colorless: 2.543

I've been pretty happy with terminus and temporal mastery. Entreat and bonfire are the main culprits imo.

Hooting mandrills is great, but you can't cast it turn two off a mana elf, and you often can't reliably cast it on turn three either. After that, it's functionally a three drop, and great for sequencing with other plays.

The hydra is good, but not exactly my idea of no-nonsense. I mean to say something that hits play with real stats, and doesn't require any further conditions, hoops, or mana investments. Something like how Polukranos, World Eater or Deadbridge Goliath are to the 4 slot.

Green three drops is easily one of the most stacked slots in cube. Even still, I feel like it's missing one good no-nonsense beat-down creature.

I guess this isn't the appropriate thread to delve into this further, but I'm interested to hear your logic behind cutting a generically power card like tracker, but including a card like this: Bitterblossom Which is a card that I cut from my list for essentially the same reasons you cut TT.

Definitely a valid point. I'm reluctant to cut TT as it is such a great 1st pickable pivot card that specifically supports a lot of my green archetypes: Lands matter, Artifacts matter, Berserkers, and Stax. I find that it's a great segue-way for my drafters. It follows the traditional cube draft...

The stats bump is actually the main reason I want to bring it in. I'm lacking in aggressive bodies in that slot...everything is very midrange. It's more to do with not wanting to cut any of my other 3s to make room for it: Eternal Witness Loaming Shaman Ramunap Excavator Tireless Tracker...

I really like Deathgorge Scavenger, but I'm not sure if I can squeeze it in next to my Loaming Shaman in the 3 slot. I see Deathgorge as a fair alternative to Scavenging Ooze which is mows downs graveyards a little too efficiently for my tastes.

Rule #7: Always Duress their Necropotence

I've been thinking about freebooter vs mesmeric fiend. Grabbing a creature is a pretty big plus for fiend. It's a common scenario to grab a creature, killing tempo for your opponent, and forcing them to waste premium removal on it to maintain any pressure. I like the flexibility, and also...

My current favorites are Asylum Visitor Scrapheap Scrounger Apprentice Necromancer Mesmeric Fiend Mesmeric Fiend has been a dark horse for me, and fits perfectly in the curve of what a lot of my black decks want to be doing. Visitor and Scrounger are my flavorful alternatives to Dark...

In all the time I've hunted for good Academy Rector & Show and Tell targets, I've always dismissed Form of the Dragon as not being worth the slot. I think that's largely due to feeling like it turns a blind-eye to any real strategy in your deck. It warps play the second it lands by setting up an...

I'm not a big fan of tribal synergies, but some other fun cards with Symbiote: Nissa, Vastwood Seer Caller of the Claw Priest of Titania

I agree on your general assessment of tutors importance. I run Vampiric Tutor over Demonic in my cubes. There's some fun incidental synergies with the top of library and instant speed. I like and run all of the mirage tutors except worldly. Terminus Oath of druids Gamekeeper Mystical teachings...

Oh food chain is an interesting card with scourge and griffin. I have an irrational appreciation for eternal scourge and I'm always looking for more ways to take advantage of it in my cube.

Plunge is terrrrrrible. but Reins of Power
