    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    When I look at your green 3 drops, Evolution Sage kind of pops out as being a bit bad. The card is middling in counters decks and middling everywhere else. Your 3-drop slot already has Rishkar, Peema Renegade, which is probably the best counters payoff that slot has to offer. I think you might...

    The Grand Odyssey

    I wanted to stop by and say how nice this cube is looking, especially with the customs! That Ominous Sphinx flavor text is amazing! May I suggest just erattaing all of the cards which only care about cycling (Lightning Rift and Astral Slide being the two big ones) to just caring about discard...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    It's good you cut Oracle of Mul Daya, that card is very bad in most cubes. I think cutting The First Iroan Games is a bit of a mistake. That card is a great way for midrange green decks to apply early pressure and re-fuel their hands. While the card can sometimes be blanked by the opponents, I...

    No Free Lunches, A Cube

    Zoss, Welcome to the forums! It's always nice to see some new faces around Riptide, especially when they seem to have good design chops as you do. I think this cube has a lot of cool concepts going on, and there looks to be a lot of strategic complexity when it comes to the gameplay side of...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Why not just... Demon of Catastrophes Demon of Catastrophes is a much better finisher for aggressive decks, since it can come down reasonably early and still hits just as hard. It also doesn't mess with the mana base as much since one doesn't need to reach 6 mana to cast it. Players...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    "Pretty Narrow" is an understatement. You basically need to be playing a green deck that wants to be playing big X-costed instants... a category of spells which just isn't very common in most cubes. Green/Blue flash-type decks can use it but even then I don't think it's that deck's best choice.

    General Optimizing my mana base

    I think your best option is actually: 10 Fetches 20 Shocks 5 Ally Manlands 5 Enemy Horizon Lands 5 Triomes 5 Five-Color/Utility Lands (City of Brass, Mana Confluence, Prismatic Vista, Mutavault Etc.) The idea here is to keep the full Fetch/Shock mana base together while still including...

    I think there are many individually good spirits, but not enough to support a real spirit tribal archetype. A couple of the tribal payoffs for spirits like Rattlechains, Mausoleum Wanderer and Nebelgast Herald could be used in supporting a blue-based tempo strategy. However, I don't think one...
