    Inscho's Graveyard Combo Cube

    That stuff all looks good to me, too. I like the element of fear that some really juicy combos add. Heart-Piercer+Doom Engine is particularly cute in that list. Wish Gargadon had reminder text for suspend :( Master kind of fits the combo potential idea, doesn't it? I keep going back and...

    If you're looking for mild grave hate, Scavenger is great. Otherwise, it doesn't have much appeal in my opinion. Crasher probably isn't too aggressive unless you're really, really fetchy. "B/G aggro graveyard" is pretty open ended. You might want to check out my cube, in the signature, as...

    Inscho's Graveyard Combo Cube

    How do you feel Remorseful Cleric and Angel of Finality play? I'm always scared to put in a yard wrath. I'll probably be back later, as I'm trying to see how deep I can make The Black Cube. Shame to hear the combo aspect has fallen off. Would you say that you're seeking a somewhat "fair" combo...

    I thought this, too, but the number of decent french vanilla beaters is way higher than straight up vanilla. Still, tokens and a few vanillas is pretty useful. A 4/4 with a chance to +1 ETB is plenty decent. Feels like a Yu-Gi-Oh card that cares about Normal Monsters, if anyone has experience...

    Sets (STX) Strixhaven Testing/Includes Thread

    But more mana fixing would be good and your players don't need more playables. It's the same argument. It isn't all free real estate, that's why no one does it that way. This assumes it's an effective sideboard strategy, which I don't think it is unless your power level is such that you'd want...

    I suspect you're going to find yourself not wanting to grab these lessons more often than you realize. Onder said repeatedly that they're free real estate, but that's not right. Your cube slots are your real estate, not your drafter's sideboards. You're going to be missing out on 10-15...

    Solid for The Black Cube. Mild grave hate is always appreciated and this one adds some value to it. Thie is actually might trigger in The (theoretical) Green Cube OK. Not as many as I thought, but some value beats no value.

    Don't need perfect images just yet. I'm accumulating ideas until at least after C21. Might actually get to play in the next few months. Need to do something to the list, but there's no rush.

    Hanna is slow, expensive, and weak. Triple bounce and 6 power for 6 seems pretty serious. I don't think these two are comparable in terms of power level.

    The Black Cube

    +1/+1 winding constrictor corpsejack menace I need maybe 1-2 more decent payoffs beyond these, I think. These guys have well-statted bodies, so the theme stands a chance.

    Cursed Mirror feels like it's practically a cube staple now. 3 cmc rock seems fine almost everywhere. Clone effect scales to power level. Really cool card. Exile on the Angel might make it work for me, especially since I'm considering an artifact and enchantment theme.

    The Black Cube

    Life Gain Post, Post-STX Overlaps with the Angel idea pretty well. Didn’t re-list the Angels here. All the lifelink overlaps with Kathril, Aspect Warper, which ties into the menace and deathtouch posts. There's a handful of nice keyword-potpourri payoffs. The cards are wordy as...

    Fully agree. Seemed like more of a joke to me and didn't feel toxic. I think it's fine to be critical or skeptical of someone's design and it's fine to tease someone's design, just don't be hateful about it.

    The Black Cube

    Angels Tribal Post I'm kind of investigating every theme I can right now in the hopes to maximize the number of available decks. I'm not sure what power level I want to end up at, either. This means my lists of 'maybes' will be a little whack. As such, here's my Angels post Kind of bases...

    No interest in the GU cards that care about lands in play? Seems very landfall adjacent.
