I'm really glad to hear that Nanonox, I appreciate it:) I think there's a possibility of extending artifacts to all colours and hence artifact aggro in Boros. At a glance, this would not diminish my artifact-based archetypes as the payoffs would still be in URB, but it could make the cube more...

The Gitrog Monster How busted is this when you can recur fetchlands and it doesn't blow up in the spot? Because it seems it can draw a massive amount of cards very quickly.

I like your tempo section, seems like you can build some good decks with what you already have. I think you might need to think outside the box a bit given your cube is multiplayer-focused and give it a couple gimmicks if you want to boost it a little bit more. For example, you could increase...

My last three additions were fantastic. It might seem like a small change but it has done a lot for the cube. Here's the thing: Before blue and green had to splash a third color just to have some basic functionality. It's a huge ask because all you want is one removal spell or two. And while...

I've been following the principles of the other thread and this one, but I'm not fully happy with artifacts in my cube. Seems something's wrong with my blue section but I can't put my finger on it. For example, I've drafted Tinker only to find it wanting and Urza only to find it was a bad...

I decided to check the cube again and it just doesn't work. It has some good stuff in it, but it's incredibly unpolished. I lost a game with 12 creatures on the board of size 3 and more because I couldn't attack and my opponent had gained more than 40 life. That just shouldn't happen. Had draws...

My big worry with Jinxed Idol is that it turns into Sulfuric Vortex. After all, you can sacrifice a creature that is going to die to removal anyways so there's little cost to it. Altar of Dementia seems very strong to me. I'm very wary of mill effects in cube in limited because there's a real...

Ok, let's do some changes. Would something like this work? Seems like it should: Char -> Blind with Anger Exclude -> Psionic Blast Wildborn Preserver -> Ambush Viper I don't know if Blind with Anger works at my power level. I know it's better than it reads because the instant speed is huge...

Jinxed Idol vs Helm of Possession Would love to hear your thoughts in this one. The idol seems stronger on paper and it seems to put a harder limit on control. But perhaps I should see how it plays compared to the Helm.

Interestingly enough, I looked through all the cards with buyback this morning. Sprout Swarm Haze of Rage Mystic Speculation Whispers of the Muse Slaughter Sprout Swarm is a very cool design. It's not overpowering if, like Ravnic says, you have a way to actually use the tokens and push...

More thoughts and changes. First, I think one of these should go so I can take one card out of white. Kitchen Finks Renegade Rallier Knight of the Reliquary Terror of the Peaks -> Skarrgan Hellkite Terror of the Peaks is fun, but it reliably nukes the opponent's board while dealing...

The more I play the cube, the worse I think it is. I just lost to Ashiok, Dream Render eating 20 cards of my library. I couldn't kill it and the board was so clogged I didn't deal a single point of damage to him. The previous game I just mind controlled a Multani, Yavimaya Avatar and won because...

I like the idea, I think a natural design might be something like this: 2BB Morbid - CARDNAME enters play with one additional loyalty counter if a creature died this turn +1 Target player discards a card -3 Return target card from a graveyard to play under your control (3) Starting Loyalty

One of the reasons I ask is that I cut "lands" a a white/green archetype long ago. Lands is in GR and while it may move into white for wraths and Cataclysm, it's not really common. I do have blink and sacrifice as more adjacent themes. However, Knight of the Reliquary is a mana fixer and a big...

Renegade Rallier vs Knight of the Reliquary A classic. What I want to hear is: Why do you prefer one over the other?

I played it though sadly not much because I don't have the coins to do it. I haven't been to impressed, it feels a bit rough. I like that it makes a serious attempt towards synergy-building. However, I have found the actual design of the archetypes to leave much to be desired. You have many...

I really believe the Soratamis are extremely weak. They have a massive drawback and weak effects.If I'm drafting control, I don't want my win condition to be a 1/4 flier that requires me to armaggedon myself to mill the opponent. Compare it to Millstone. Do you run a low enough power level to...

I would take Wavwes of Aggression. It's the more interesting card and 5 mana for an "overrun" effect is fine. Moraug isn't going to get played in aggro because he requires 7 lands to be useful. Even then, he's weak on its own terms. It's a non-trampling 6/6 that only shines with other creatures...

I've been thinking more about white four drops with a look towards midrange and control. Since I'm making proxies, I'm thinking of printing all the candidates and testing them out: Mangara, The Diplomat Trove Warden Ojutai Exemplars Mangara is kind of bullshit. However, I've gone through my...

Yasova Dragonclaw Is this card actually good? Six mana before it threatens is expensive and that 2 toughness doesn't seem like much. Thoughts?
