Another thing I noticed while trying to decrease the wordiness of my cube is that some mechanics are one word and you know it: flashback, delve, etc. Others are a flag for a type of effect that has many words involved: landfall, threshold, etc. The former is obviously gonna be better to...

Oh fuck. I was considering a bunch of Wilds or Terramorphics as a solid-enough color fixer so that my beginners wouldn't need to read every new, different nonbasic land as they came around. Pretty sure a large number of these will cost a small fortune, though.

It just so happens that I am. And it just so happens that these didn't show up when I searched multicolor cards...

dragon's hoard draconic roar wizard's retort wizard's lightning sage's dousing adeliz, the cinder wind All a little low-mid powered in non-tribal mode.

Omenspeaker is a decent card. Other than the UU cost, there's no real downside to it. I was going to use it as part of a Doomsday package, but never got a chance thanks to COVID and my redesign likely won't include something that complex, but that's an option as well.

Either cut the mono commanders or allow mono to add a second color. The latter could be spicy. I'm not sure how that affects the math, exactly, but it eliminates the 693 card scenario.

4-6 of these Rat Colony 1 of these Ravenous Rats It would be pretty ridiculous, but could definitely work. Looks like a bit of a discard deck, which I've found difficult to run because a lot of decks discard for value anyways, negating a lot of the advantage the deck can generate.

I think all tribal will get better as they print more things like Windrider Wizard, Wizard's Retort, and Winged Words. These spells with a reasonable base effect and a slightly better effect in-tribe are much more usable designs and I look forward to seeing more of them.

I often feel like this is basically a tribal deck. Right now I run Zur, but he just needs access to a few O Rings or something to work. That's interesting. It's typically UR cards that tempt me away from Blackness. When designing my Onslaught nostalgia cube, kind of like Onslaught Remastered...

Booster Tutor is a lot of fun. As a one mana instant, there's plenty of decks that will use it. It's a lowkey 5c payoff, as the deck has more viable cards in a random pack. I can't imagine cutting it.

Couple more than me.

I almost said something but didn't wanna nitpick. Quite a few low-word sweepers in general, which is great.

My goal is to have a skeleton of cards that are really basic with more interesting cards mixed in. I think that having a few cards per pack that require almost no reading will really speed things along. I've been talking to one of my beginners recently about what they find most difficult during...

With my playgroup moving towards more and more beginners (in the no COVID era a year from now... U! S! A!), I'm looking for cards with low amounts of text but a significant impact. I searched for vanilla and french vanilla creatures already, as that seemed obvious, but it gets trickier from...

"Looking for 200 cards" seems fine. Worlds 05 https://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=9254&f=ST Worlds 06 https://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=9255&f=ST PT Honolulu https://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=9219&f=ST I kind of love that we always end up in Rav no matter what we do.

Seriously couldn't believe it when I saw that Zoss forgot Gallowbraid. SMH my head.

Yeah. A list would be really cool and might exist. I figure there's not THAT many with significant printings anyways, though. Most are one and done. ci: will search for color identity on scryfall.

I'm looking for mechanics that are going to have a lot of cards. Kicker, Cycling, Flashback immediately come to mind. Trying to make my format more beginner friendly and would like to decrease the overall number of mechanics where I can.

Dack's a huge issue in so many situations. Definitely avoid it unless you enjoy super swingy games. Slime is really cool, but it's slow or it's all sacrificed off very quickly. Definitely a card I frequently want to use but never makes the cut.

Cool. Now my players REALLY won't know what the back of their card does. AND we get a lot of Snow stuff that won't interact with any new cards for another decade!
