japahn, you're an absolute madman, and I applaud you for coming up with something that looks both elegant and refreshing! While I haven't experienced draft fatigue in my own cube, in part because I can't draft it even once a month, I can definitely see how much of a blast occasionals can be...

Really unelegant solution considering the reminder text, but I think there wasn't really a way around that without them still being broken. Mind you, starting the game with an 8th card that's a 3 mana tutor for a specific card (your chosen companion) still seems really, really good.

japahn pretty much covered it! If you can suit it up with Bonesplitter, or upgrade it with Steel Overseer, one of the heros, or a battlecry creature, it can chip in for quite some damage, simply because it has evasion.

Well, let's look at two hypothetical sets with five creatures at cmc < 5 each. Set 1: one 0/6, two 2/2's, and two 2/1's. Set 2: one 2/4, one 2/3, two 1/2's and a 2/1. Now, simply looking at the numbers, I would call set 1 an aggressive set. There is one big blocker, but it can't actually kill...

Putting this on my wants list for commander! Screw you green :D

Rise of the Eldrazi is a case study for this question. It's one of the best limited formats I've ever played, radically different from any other set, and WotC perfected the battlecruiser format there. Here's some of the principles that made it work. Ramp in many colors (thanks to the Eldrazi...

Back when I still ran {g}{w} as a color pair, I had to dial down the +1/+1 counters theme twice, because it was so snowbally. Hardened Scales and Elite Scaleguard were the biggest offenders for me, with the first just exploding your creatures out of "I can still deal with this"-range for your...

I use an old program called Magic Set Editor. The program doesn't do HD, so your pictures will be a bit grainy, but I've found that they are more than adequate for cutouts to put in front of a land. You'll need to download MSE and the templates separately...

You're welcome :) Under Arrest got the attention of XRS as well, and I've posted two possible fixes for this card in his thread. Click here :) Note that Pawel Mielniczuk does not seem to be the artist for this piece. Instead I've seen it attributed to Bryan Sola on various sites. Paweł...

Under Arrest really needs some work. It's all one trigger, which means your opponent doesn't get to react in between the creation of and the check for Soldier tokens. Also, as far as I can tell, it's attributed to the wrong artist! I couldn't find the art on Bryan Sola's personal ArtStation...

Can we bump this? I caught someone lurking in this thread! :eek:

If you want to go really deep, there's the inspire mechanic, the merfolk from Lorwyn/Shadowmoor block, and the untap symbol ('{ Q }' without spaces on Scryfall), e.g. King Macar, the Gold-Cursed Pain Seer Fallowsage Stonybrook Schoolmaster Hollowsage Wake Thrasher Merrow Reejerey Order of...

I'm having a hard time choosing between these, but I'm guessing the front side of Djeru's Renunciation is by far the most useful effect in the same decks you want to play the aggressive RW cycling cards from Ikoria in. On the other hand, if all you're looking for is a card to cycle away cheaply...

What themes are you supporting? :) Quasi is good in discard matters, Part is better in blue based flash decks. Do you expect this slot to end up in decks that get to seven mana? If they don't, Part might as well not have flashback.

Shit, how did I miss this?

Oh, nice, including Nameless Inversion and Crib Swap is pretty clever here!

There's big daddy construct, which I'm willing to give another try now that it's a bit harder to cheat it out in my cube: Myr Battlesphere Other good options: Scrapheap Scrounger Steel Overseer Chief of the Foundry Treasure Keeper Stuffy Doll

This guy picked up a lot of interesting customs for his clue cube: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/customcluecube?f=Tag%3ACustomCard&view=spoiler

I think I got there :D Here's two decks from testing my most recent cube updates. I added Scapyard Recombiner for some additional artifact tricks, and so far I'm not disappointed. Ones 1 Gingerbrute 1 Hope of Ghirapur 1 Vault Skirge Twos 1 Brain Maggot 1 Kitesail Freebooter 1 Walking...

I originally settled on Arena over Connections when I first added the effect. I like that you can't shut off Arena, so sometimes you will be forced to use your own removal on it, or die if you can't. Connection might still be right over it, because it offers more decision points, but the...
