I haven't been able to draft much these days and saw that the Arena cube was up, so decided to install Arena again and try some drafts with newer cards I could have missed. Another thing I was on the lookout for was aggressive decks snowballing hard (thus invalidating synergistic decks in my...

Scournful Egotist (Morphed)

I’m with Chris regarding your choices. Another option that you’ve probably already dismissed because of energy Chthonian Nightmare It’s pretty fair but strong and has built in restrictions that can be worked around. Is a sacrifice outlet and a repetitive noncreature cast. Scavenger’s Talent...

I am mostly focused on my lower powered cube right now so I'll be posting more in depth about that one. Really like the cards in the set, even though the 3 color cards are a miss for me as I don't want to commit to narrow cards (in terms of deck inclusion). Include Rally the Monastery Aligned...

Feels quite pushed! Hasty 4/4, double ETBs and wrath protection is nice.

Not going into my main cube, but this is pretty neat. Grab Bloodghast, Vengevine and Wonder for an aggressive pile. Or Dread Return, Golgari Grave-Troll and Laboratory Maniac for a combo finish. Raven’s Crime, Life from the Loam and Deep Analysis for some grindy value and so on. Fun puzzle to...

Brain fart on my end, didn’t account for the fact you aren’t casting from hand! Proceed. (Still think the card is fair for mid power).

Fair, I was thinking of the retrace ability, so second and subsequent casts. The first cast is a worse Divination though, nothing crazy.

I don’t know about being too good. It’s a 3 mana Tormenting Voice where you have to discard a land. It obviously has the upside of being cast multiple times and discarded for value but 3 mana is fair.

Yes! Skeletons matters! I actually had this in an earlier version with more enchantment support. However, looking at it again, Descend is surprisingly open ended and a 3/2 haste for 3 is a reasonable floor even absent the enchantment theme. 3 drops are crowded though, what to cut?

For my unpowered, low curving, synergy cube, there are a ton of goodies that are likely staples for a long time. I decided to omit the MDFC lands from the cube, but there are some really strong ones if that's your thing. White aggro Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd Slam dunk card at my power...

A ball lightning that can Falter your opponent’s team from the GY? Or help you sacrifice your board? Maybe a type of Propaganda from the GY since opponent won’t attack unless to alpha strike? Cool card indeed!

Simic removal In an effort to give Blue and Green more tools with which to be interactive, I decided to up the amount of removal spells in those colors. The options are somewhat limited, but I am reasonably happy with most of these Abundant Harvest -> Bushwhack Still keeping a bit of draw...

This is pretty cool. A Crucible of Worlds 95% of the time, but the other 5%, you get a spicy build around that could go either way (selfmill or mill).

Changeling outcast Brad reminded me about changelings for the Corroding Dragonstorm cycle, but they also fit in my Golem and Ninja themes. This seems like a fun extra synergy if you need colorless land smoothing. One time Skullclamp activation or mess up combat math is cute! Especially with...

Cool, I’ll check it out, thanks!

Iterating on a Penny Pincher classic Wanted to share my experimentations with the Penny Pincher classic that is the bounce theme with some updates from 2024. This is coming from a mid-low power cube environment where synergy is supposed to shine. The archetype is mostly White and/or Blue based...

The dragon spell velocity theme is coming along nicely! Firespitter Whelp Manaform Hellkite

Scorn-Blade Berserker I keep looking at this card and thinking I should play it since I have some bounce, sacrifice and counter themes. However, I have no clue how it plays nor what decks really want it.

I really like this as a +1/+1 counter payoff. Triggers off every creature and has evasion itself, inviting you to put a counter on it.
