    No, but Onderzeboot suggested Palace Jailer. Which I like despite its high power level, the issue is introducing Monarch into the cube. Not sure I like that.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    More changes and cuts. Most of these cards aren't really played or truly necessary: Metallic Mimic Retrofitter Foundry Lightning Phoenix Kird Ape Fire Imp Metallic Mimic is just more human fodder. The deck needs no additional help. There are several cool combos with Kitchen Finks and you...

    I have but I'm looking for a creature. I want something that beefy that helps control. I like cards like Mangara the Diplomat, but it's a complete fuck you to aggro. Ojutai Exemplars is cool but it seems hard to remove, baneslayer-ish and I would rather have white control play differently. Super...

    I'm really glad to hear that Dom. I love seeing your decks, they are very inspiring. So yeah, perhaps things are better than I thought! I actually went and built the non-red decks you build and they are a ton of fun. I'll see how I can improve things a bit while keeping those decks in the cube.

    Force of Will vs Pact of Negation Should I replace FoW with Pact of Negation in my cube? (I don't want Force of Negation)

    Thanks a lot Nanonox, seeing those decks help. I'm afraid I'm not the best drafter so I tend to believe I need more "synergy" than I actually do. For example, I think I need more discard outlets than it's really necessary. Still, I would see if I can tighten things up. I like how Body Double...

    I just took her out because she just stalled the game by flooding the board with 1/1 tokens that couldn't attack. In general, I'm cutting down the amount of tokens in my cube dramatically so I'm not even sure why I look into Keeper of the Accord. One of the issues I'm trying to fix with my cube...

    I can see that. Sorry, I'm attracted to durdling too much. I'm looking for something midrange and control heavies might like. Aggressive decks just take Ranger of Eos or any other 4-mana topper so they don't care what it is.

    Turns out dumping 5 mana spells when your opponent has 2 lands is kind of busted :(

    So far I like this one the most! Keeper of the Accord Thoughts?

    In my cube I run 4 reanimation spells, two of which are standalone (Animate Dead, Necromancy) and two of which are more demanding or value-based (Unburial Rites, Dread Return). This means the Reanimator deck is common but not always present.

    I'm looking for cool 4-mana white creatures that aren't Emeria Angel. It's not a slot that is seeing a lot of action so feel free to make any suggestions.

    Is this actually good? I like the effect and the crossover between aggro and stax, but that statline seems rough. I plan to nerf my removal a bit but it still seems too much: Hokori, Dust Drinker

    Haha, I wasn't kidding! I think Inscho's cube is the largest influence on mine, then yours. Your analysis is spot on. I knew I had a 2/2 format but I did not see all the implications of that. In fact, I can see the issue comparing your list and mine. While your list is similar, you do run more...

    Let me use an example of what I mean. An Ux deck had this board: Jace Beleren Urza, Lord High Artificer Barrin, Tolarian Archmage plus Urza's token It's not a formidable defense. And yet, the GW deck it faced couldn't get damage in. The board slowed down with most relevant threats being...

    Seems I wrote while you guys were replying! I agree Yahenni and Thalia, Heretic Cathar should go in. Both are versatile cards that can put some pressure. I do have a bit of a nonbo between spells matter in UWR and Thalia but it should be minor. Perhaps some small changes could go a long way...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Hey, thanks for the post Sigh. I agree there are quite a few token generators in my cube. The issue I have is not so much stalling defensively as it is stalling and not being able to do too much with the resources you have. I feel the value is not being directed towards wins but towards...
