Haha, no, my second cube (under heavy construction) is actually a cube where everyone gets an emblem with "Spells you cast cost {1} less to cast." A theoretical anti-cube to my current Magic Crumble Pie cube would be my third cube, and that's really a bit too much for me ;) For the record, I'm...

It's not as if the thought hasn't crossed my mind, but that "time-consuming" part is a real bottleneck. I've had an idea for a second cube for ages now,but I'm still not close to even a rough first draft. Problem is I only support allied colors according of a shifted color wheel. There is zero...

A lot of the cards I like require me to change my color wheel, in particular some of the Boros and Golgari cards, but I'm not sure I want to. RG dinosaurs, UR spells, and WB humans smokestack are the most interesting archetypes in my cube, I feel. In addition, I've once has three Grixis drafters...

Does it have to be that cutthroat? You could also opt for a control deck using Crux of Fate and some dragon finishers (Kokusho, the Evening Star?) vs a weenie deck that is trying to soft lock the opponent with less drastic measures (Thalia, Guardian of Thraben?) and maybe some resilient threats.

Those are some interesting cards! :)

Stop being excited, this is a punisher card! That has some discard synergies because of the jump-start mechanic. And asks your opponent to take 4 damage twice. And turns a useless land in the mid or late game into either four points of burn or three cards, which is both good, right? Right!?

Someone snuck in a batallion card into the card file.

I love the flavor here, she's the literal embodiment of a sneak kill, vanishing into the shadows to strike again at an uncertain point in the future.

It's pretty incredible that there were still such great designs left for the last week of spoilers. This set is pretty deep!

So... What's aggro's fives then? Steppe Lynx (in a fetch-heavy environment)? Sulfuric Vortex?

No, but I do run Dynavolt Tower, which has been quite decent. There's some decks that definitely get some shots in with that one, in part because you can support it with other energy cards.

I'm thinking this is a worse Jori En. Way harder to trigger. You can usually draw a card off Jori the turn you play her if you sequence your spells (any spells) right. That's never going to happen with this enchantment. In addition, this is a pretty abysmal topdeck, unlike Jori, which is at...

Yeah, sorry, but that hypothetical aura isn't making any other 1/1's broken, just specifically the ones with hexproof. That's telling, isn't it? I honestly think hexproof is one of the suckiest mechanics in the game, and it's way overused.

While that might be true, we know for a fact that Gudul Lurker, Mist-Cloak Herald, Slither Blade, and Triton Shorestalker are completely harmless when compared to Slippery Bogle's track record (though check out Ken Yukuhiro's Mono-Blue Aggro deck from Japan's Nationals! :) )

Let's be honest, the real culprit there was the hexproof.

I'm convinced they could easily print a Thieving Magpie variant with "~ can't be blocked" instead of flying without breaking any format.

The surveil payoff cards are pretty blunt in their execution, but surveil itself could be the best smoothing mechanic ever. I have great hopes I will be able to include at least some surveil cards.

Oh right, that thing exists as well :')
