Grifter. As soon as someone knows, there'll be the drafter who goes ham on bombs and removal from pack one, pick one, because they know it'll pay off.

Well... it only costs you one land, because you (usually) play this when you have no land in hand. It's just an incredible way to go up some cards without spending any mana, that's what makes it good. Of course, if you have an excess amount of lands, and ways to trade in cards in hand for other...

The day I decided to cut it was the day I discovered these two cards are not fair together: Hardened Scales Mikaeus, the Lunarch

Not Scales (it's hard to remove and can lead to incredibly explosive starts, it looks innocuous, but I cut it for power level reasons). Sure, Constrictor and Pit seem fun build around. No. Then again, your power level is a bit higher than mine by the looks of it, so maybe Scales is fairer in...

You obviously have a patreon account for CubeTutor. I would encourage you to mark your custom cards to make the list more readable. For example, I mark my customs purple in my main cube. Your customs often say something about the power level of your cube. For example, Ruby Trinket signals that...

I doubt that Call of the Crusade at four is better than Ridgescale Tusker, though it's a much better curve topper for aggro decks at four mana. Call of the Crusade at five mana gets blown out of the water by Tusker. Have you ever tried Great Teacher's Decree? I replaced it with Inspired Charge...

Haha, fair enough. That's the thing about testing against the AI. Sometimes you get a lot more time than you ought to, and would, in a normal game. This obviously makes it a bit harder than normal to gauge a custom card's strength! I'll try it out as is then :)

I've been testing this some more, with Anotak's suggested "untap up to X target lands", and it's not often you lose the game after casting this for X = 7+. Upping the cost to {X}{1}{R}{G} seems like making it a horrifically bad Act on Impulse though... What to do, what to do...

Cool Kirblinx, this makes me feel good for adding it :)

Daredevil is on my wish list. It's a bit cheaper now, I expect she'll replace Ghitu Chronicler eventually. Crater Elemental doesn't signal "spells matter" as well as Ghitu Chronicler :)

Yeah... I cut it from my rare-filled cube for being too strong. I don't quite know how peasant cube owners justify this monster of a card...

Spells matter is a well supported archetype in my cube, and that deck is typically in the market for an early defensive creature. This one happens to align very well with the main theme. I don't expect it to be spectacular, but it's a nice signal that aggro is not the only way to draft red!

Testing makes me want to add these cards so far: Knight of Grace Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive Knight of Malice Fight with Fire Ghitu Chronicler Keldon Overseer Territorial Allosaurus Adeliz, the Cinder Wind Grand Warlord Radha Rona, Disciple of Gix And not want to add these: History of...

Yeah, pleasantly surprised. The set feels pretty cohesive in what it's doing.

Too bad they did away with the excellent pun.

Yeah, that was a really cool article than firmly planted an idea for a cooler cube into my head :) I have changed the color wheel multiple times since then, but the idea is still living up to its potential!

I only support the ally color pairs, but according to my colorshifted wheel. So UB and UR are supported, for example, but not WU and GU. I switched to this system for a few reasons: 1. It's novel. My cube plays differently from the other cubes existing in our playgroup. 2. I wanted to more...

Well... I'm going to need some time for this. Can't do this from work, don't have the time (right now) at home.

Oh, hahahahahaha, wow! Shows how ingrained my shifted color wheel is into my system nowadays. Auger Spree honestly didn't register as ally colored to me :'D
