If you've ever played with or against Maelstrom Wanderer, which I hated when I played Commander because the deck basically builds itself and is void of significant decisions, you know what an issue this Lotus is. It's also a super lazy, cash-grab design. That's my bigger issue with it. You can...

My lower powered aritfact cube idea https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/5e6e8c837d65df45f5d58ad8 Oudated by a few sets, sadly.

Kinsbaile will be a roleplayer in places that need it, which is great. Nothing overwhelming, but a decent option to have around. I personally find Kithkin so ugly and irritating that they only showed up once ever to support their own tribal mechanic. What's the point in making a tribe with no...

I've been considering going lower powered to not support their secondary market as much. I'm not much of a spender, but I definitely disagree with a lot of how they handle things and that's the only way I can express it. Most of the game is pretty good, but they throw 1-3 absolute bullshit cards...

Honestly, I hate Cascade. Total RNG swing mechanic. Doesn't get any more high variance than Cascade. It also can take a while to resolve, has 5 lines of reminder text, and isn't an ability anyone who hasn't been fucked by BBE or Maelstrom Wanderer is familiar with. In this spider's case, it's...

Elf. Court. You're not aggro? GG.

Another thing to consider on this topic, although probably difficult to quantify, is usage of keywords. Specifically, something like Cacade or Encore has 5+ lines of reminder text. If you're only running 1-2 cards with those mechanics, that might as well be real text because people are usually...

I have a bunch of unusual black nonbasics and haven't felt the need to run any of those.

Is One Time a cube title? ;) I really like flying.dec. I always think it's cute for some reason.

Loving that huge Golem. We need more MASSIVE artifact creatures. Eldrazi currently own most of the colorless fatty real estate. Krark's expectedly flippy and fun.

Seems like a bit over 20 is what the game kind of lends itself to. I found it interesting that searching for "is:frenchvanilla" yielded cards that just had Unleash or something. Technically french vanilla, but a limited time keyword like that still requires reminder text to be read, whereas...

Without researching, I'd guess multicolor cards are higher rarity on average and higher rarity cards are wordier on average, as well.

I just went through vanilla and evergreen-french vanilla creatures to explore a low word count and it kind of has that classic feel on first pass. All these creatures do is provide a body. Very old school vibe. https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/5f94a367cff9250fce6d3313

Kind of curious now how low we could go while still having something cool. Honestly, probably pretty damn low. Vanilla and french vanilla beaters are plenty respectable. Part of why my word count's so high is all my red cards have the whole "blah blah exile it" text, but basic burn spells are...

Yeah. I'm OK with my 6 drop letting me empty my hand of lands. REALLY cute with bounces. EDIT: I actually wish this guy had allowed for an extra land drop ancient greenwarden That said, the second ability works with Kodama. Is there some sort of loop here?

The downside to that merfolk is it's SO MANY words, but the 4 toughness is definitely nice. Havengul Lich was a card I had for a while before I really trimmed my top end and this feels sort of similar. Definitely on my radar, but might be too much investment for a one turn dude.

Looked at a Zedruu list for red cards for Blim humble defector bazaar trader aggressive mining steel golem goldnight castigator goblin cadets bronze bombshell jinxed idol trial of ambition oubliette demonic pact demonic pact demonic pact A lot of this is probably too cute, but it's a 4/3 flyer...

For Seraph, I got curious and scryfell it. There's so many artifacts that are good or alright with her. Just keep her in mind when you make your artifact section and she should be successful if waiting a turn to attack in the late game is something your cube affords.

True. I assumed you were trying to build them up, but giving them The Coin instead of a card is pretty decent.
