Ertai's Familiar

There's also Fungal Rebirth I'm leaning towards Dryad's Revival being too slow for my cube. I thought the flashback would make it more valuable than Regrowth, but a 3cmc Regrowth just feels too clunky to me.

Gifts can be a comparable value draw like FoF, but gifts guarantees 2 of the best 4 cards in your deck. If you run a heavy graveyard theme with flashback, escape, etc gifts often feels like a draw 4. You can pick 4 cards that are all great in hand or in the graveyard. Gifts can be a tutor or...

Gifts >>> FoF

Nest Invader is one of the most interesting and versatile green 2 drops available imo. Blink, sacrifice, ramp, velocity...it does a little bit of everything in an efficient and elegant package.

lol...that might've come across as braggadocious when all I meant to say was that I'm getting old and jaded :slicin: I didn't take it that way at all. I'm really enjoying the conversation. The subs like Stream of Thought out for Mental Note aren't going to change all that much for sure...

Seeker of the Way is great with equipment, but doesn't explicitly signal an equipment theme. However, it has the advantage of being versatile in more deck contexts.

Much much more elegant and less annoying than something like council’s judgement which becomes dependable spot removal in 1v1. Explorer gets worse with less players, and the spirit of the card isn’t really changed in being taken out of a multiplayer context. IMO YMMV ETC

This is spot on, and I've likened this cube's design to a house of cards many times in the past. The balance is very precarious. It's why I make a new list every other week attempting to introduce cards that unlock top end outcomes for archetypes, only for it be a complete failure and delete it...

I already have the mountains, and the crusher.....If only I supported MDFCs in my cube I could unleash this degeneracy upon my own playgroup.

I appreciate the thoughtful observations. I'm really glad you chimed in as your Theseus cube experience can definitely shed some light on design flaws in my format. This cube is an attempt to design a space with a fairly high spell velocity, but maintain a lot of the flavor of a slower synergy...

Seems like a headache. Not so much because the card is too good, but more that you force the opponent to try and play the game without saying any numbers. The controller of Number Crunch is then going to be tasked with tallying all numbers, damage, life totals for the game. Just seems like it...

Yep aside some good natured groans when the pile of five cards is insane, I’ve only had good experiences with FoF

I'm almost always tinkering around with a higher powered version of this cube. I typically take things too far and the strong cards overshadow intricate synergies and inevitably everything falls apart. Here is a working list that feels a bit more promising: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/1vnnj...

This card is ccccrazy! I'm certainly cubing this. There's so many busted things you can do with this.

I appreciate the design clarity of this update. I think the changes make a lot of sense, and you cut some slow/awkward cards. I assume you are against Un-cards? Crow Storm would be interesting in general, but especially bananas with the Magecraft cards. I know slots are tight, but I think this...

Emry, Lurker of the Loch Intruder Alarm Walking Ballista for 0 is infinite Creature untaps…. throw in a mana elf and you have infinite mana emry, lurker of the loch Thassa’s oracle Cloudstone curio is pretty funny

Have you considered dockside extortionist Situationally goes infinite with recurring nightmare and cloudstone curio and probably other things

Very exciting. I like a lot of these additions. Will you be updating your CC list soon? I’d love to see the current list to help me better understand how this update shifts the landscape, and allow me make relevant observations

Once a turn is a dealbreaker for me. As is the 2 toughness
