    Liquimetal Torque is great in that it can replace any other 2-mana ramp and get a bunch of extra synergies on top. I wouldn't build around it or anything, just replace Mind Stone or whatever other card you run in its slot.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    It kills the vast majority of creatures in my cube so it quickly became repeateable removal for just three mana. In both games I had it, it quickly dominated. I'm keeping it for now but I'll keep an eye for it. Ah, true. Dammit hahaha -- Ok, let's do this in blue: Blink of an Eye -> Brazen...

    "Fast" multiplayer cube

    I don't think Gush is overly narrow, I think it hits a nice balance. The main issue is having two islands in play, which excludes some decks, but other than that it's fine. I agree it's very easy to go overboard on spells!

    Inscho's Graveyard Combo Cube

    Inscho, I really want to ask you about Cursed Mirror. It's a very intriguing card and I wonder what you do with it. I suspect it might be something I would like to run as well! Cursed Mirror

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I've been thinking a bit about the other colours and decided to reinforce what I already have with some swaps, cuts and other minor changes. Sea Gate Stormcaller -> Baral, Chief of Compliance I'm going back to Baral. Ultimately, the extra synergies provided by the Stormcaller were minor...

    In my experience, it has an atrocious failure rate. If you draw lands or creatures for two turns or it gets killed then it's pretty terrible. On the other hand, you can get lucky, hit a cheap kill spell and get a recurring, bigger flying Nektrataal which is hard to beat. I would look into other...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Right now I'm happy at 50 cards, though I will give it a whirl if I end up getting an additional card. Thanks! Sadly, the other colours are much harder to fix than white, if simply because I really have no idea or where to take them :(

    "Fast" multiplayer cube

    It's far more powerful than Dark Ritual. Dark Ritual gives +2 mana when you play it. Grim Monolith gives you +3 the next turn, which is a massive difference. Early Myr Battlespheres, Immortal Suns and Ugins are very likely. Quite frankly, it goes with everything. Being colorless, it fits in any...

    I would run Entomb since its small cost opens up more possibilities, like getting a Gravecrawler into the yard. Unmarked Grave is the same card at a slighty higher price. I wouldn't run the later two as getting to 4 and specially 5 mana renders the whole point moot. Lamia is better as a 4/4...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Since my white section is in such great shape, I decided to check practically every card in existance to fill the remaining two slots. And I've decided to add these two: Mana Tithe Elspeth Conquers Death These are both versatile cards that are not just generic removal or more aggro beaters...

    Inscho's Graveyard Combo Cube

    Sometimes I forget people hate fun. Nah, being serious, I know people don't like having their sandcastle knocked over and they hate if it's "unfair" in any way. I also know Mindslaver represents an inherent loss of player agency. But c'mon, I think everyone should recognize the fun in your own...

    Inscho's Graveyard Combo Cube

    I'm so jealous of your Splending Reclamation piles but I'm afraid of jamming it on my cube. Also, who the hell hates Mindlsaver? Seriously, that card is extremely well designed and the effect is both fun and completely unique in gaming. It's difficult to lock your opponent with it and, while...

    Inscho's Graveyard Combo Cube

    These changes look fine to me. While there's a power increase, I think they are all intersting, synergetic cards not just stuff that you can put in any deck

    Hallowblade is good but remember it's terrible against tokens.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    So right now it's not fully working, but the Harmonic Prodigy experiment is going better than I thought. Test A: https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/deckbuilder/60cfc9987a1ab71030825122 Test B: https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/60cfc515929b51103f762ede Some stuff that isn't doing anything too...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Ok, time to make some changes. First, I'm slighty toning down my white removal: Swords to Plowshares -> Oust Path to Exile -> Prismatic Ending Second, I'm going to try something with Reanimator. I'm going to keep a high-power reanimator suite with my actual not-too-great targets. I think that...

    I think it's one of those cards that don't work. Not work on a "this card is bad" level, but on a "this card does not work mechanically".
