Hahaha, that was my immediate thought as well :')

Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire is nuts o_O I have no idea what to make of Eiganjo Uprising...

No no, Velrun, please understand! I already suffer from trying to order things like the color of my clothes pins. Having a cube that isn't entirely perfect is good for my mental health ;)

If the imbalances are as small as they are in my cube, it's not necessary to inform your drafters, imo. Knowing there is an imbalance is only bound to bias your drafters' picks when it shouldn't if the imbalance is statistically irrelevant.

Oh no! I actually liked your post before commenting because, well, because I liked it! a) because you took the time to look through my cube, and b) because it gave me a chance to explaine why I made the choices I did. I didn't mean to make you feel bad <3 Also, yes, good point!

I know the cube is not "perfect"-ly balanced, but by my quotes you can probably already tell I don't believe a cube has to be exactly balanced between colors in numbers. In my experience aggro decks require a slightly higher density of support than midrange and control decks, because unlike...

The cube link in my signature is, for now at least, current and updated :) https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/woc

Yes, I actually got to play with this configuration in November, and it worked nicely!

I don't know if it should be an artifact creature, might taste a bit metallic, but other than that :D

Yep, I run: {W}: 3 learn, 2 lesson {B}: 2 learn, 2 lesson {U}: 2 learn, 2 lesson {G}: 2 learn, 2 lesson {R}: 2 learn, 1 lesson hybrid: 5 lesson colorless: 5 lesson So, in total, 11 spells with learn and 19 lessons at 450.

Wait, wait, I got this @Velrun! The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs {2} Artifact Creature - Bird Food {1}, {T}: Create a Treasure token. {2}, {T}, Sacrifice ~: You gain 3 life. When ~ dies, create a Blood token. 2/1

I don't think the card needs to die, but maybe you need to abandon the requirement that it incorporates every token type. Cylix of Creation {2} {1}, {T}: Create a Treasure. {2}, {T}: Create a Food. {3}, {T}: Create a Clue. This could work in a slow environment, for example.

I mean, I run a slow format, so that aggravates the issue, but it was definitely storing up the mana. Any format that can handle Worn Powerstone should be fine running {3} mana "{T}: Create a Treasure.", but that's basically how good the card was. So, if that's the baseline, you can imagine what...

I think I like your version better for balance purposes to be honest. I tried "{T}: Create a Treasure." as the only ability on a {3} mana custom before, and making a free treasure every turn is really, really good. I wouldn't add three other modes to that in a million years.

My gut says yes as well. Not in the sense that it would break Vintage, but too efficient for most cubes, except those with a particularly low curve.

Okay! Tireless Provisioner The +1/+1 counters part from Tireless Tracker would be insane though on the Provisioner :')

The context of the activation costs does matter, actually! This is a hard one to answer though, since the tokens aren't three mana apart in value, and Cylix of Creation costs 2 mana up front itself... Pfff... rough. My gut says {0} Blood > {1} Treasure > {2} Food > {3} Clue, and here's why...

I think Treasures are still really good in a slow environment, because mana is exactly the thing you are starved for in a slower environment. Getting that finisher out one or two turns earlier, or being able to cast two spells in a single turn instead of one is huge. Edit: If it helps, imagine...

How very uncharacteristic of me to end up in the top 3 with an article :') Personally, I don't think I will ever write anything that brings me more joy than my Brainstorm post did, even though it got less likes than this one XD

People, I want to share with you one final art piece. I know tokens don't count as cards, and the Q was about our favorite card art, but this thread would not be complete without my absolute favorite token art of 2021!
