    Sets Jumpstart Previews

    Jumpstart is either based on or the same as another game, Smash Up, that gives you two ~20 card decks and you mash em together and play. I considered something like this after having played that for the reasons you stated, but the deckbuilding part of the process is really the best part of cube...

    Makes sense on Rite. I was thinking like japahn, where you're getting a ton of bodies and that seems good, but it's a terrible top deck. I already have Eldest. Card's so good. Just trying to up the enchantment density right now

    I think that's a solid list because those effects can't really be replicated by colored cards. The Black Cube might do heraldic banner lashwrithe nyx lotus Unless Lashwrithe gets a pass as a black card, then I'd add Scrabbling Claws, as yard hate that hits multiple cards but doesn't wipe the...

    the mirari conjecture How's this one been? I like I and II, but I worry that III is going to lead to a ridiculous turn too often. time of ice Is this too annoying? Or is it too weak when I could just wrath on 5 cmc? rite of belzenlok Any experience? fires of invention I know this is...

    I'd ask that person why they're limiting their artifact section to 3 artifacts and then tell them they're a hypothetical idiot no matter what they said because colorless cards are the most flexible slot in their whole cube. That said, I don't like ravnic's list because I could replace it with...

    The Black Cube

    Coinsmtih I can see coming in if enchantments pans out and life gain gets more support. Grim's too weak for me. I worry how much value Arasta will generate. Seems like often too much. Brain Maggot I considered but I'm really not sure. Maybe Spinner is alright. Looks like a pay off but it's still...

    The Black Cube

    Yeah, I'm just making a list of stuff I could use to reference later but documenting it here. I'm liking Starfield of Nyx as a narrow one right now because it's a unique reanimation effect that's going to be more reliable than Sigil. CMC 3 or less is also desirable for the Zur the Enchanter...

    The Black Cube

    Enchantments Looking at enchantments. Again, seeking to increase the density of enchantments while having a only handful of narrow payoffs. Looks easy to move a lot of the removal to white enchantments. The black enchantment creatures are mostly great. Green doesn't look at good as I expected...

    The Black Cube

    As for the artifacts, the list currently is up to 61 artifacts, plus a few cards that make artifact tokens. The only cards I'm running that explicitly need artifacts to succeed teshar, ancestor's apostle trinket mage marionette master alela, artful provocateur sharuum the hegemon scrap trawler...

    The Black Cube

    I was looking at diamond mare prism ring demon's horn and realized that's potentially a LOT of life gain triggers. I'm worried how this could affect aggro in the format, but let's look at our payoffs anyways... A lot of it looks very poisonous, but a lot of the more recent printings look...

    Bloom Tender Woodland Wanderer Faeburrow Elder Bring to Light Civic Saber Would have added Dryad and Suns' if I'd not been beat to it. Green creature tutors kind of reward more colors because they'll have more targets. Similarly, Booster Tutor gets better as the pack is more usable. Very...

    Abom kinda sucks. I guess I like the red guys if you're still on 40 Wilds. Mentor seems excessively punishing hitting for 2 on each Wilds and Shaman seems lame with 1 power. I don't know here. I like Dryad so much more thematically that it isn't close for me. Green noncreature deck won't be...

    The 5/4 trample for 4 is already good and the high ceiling scares me a little. Let me know how he does, because he's definitely the kind of card I could make use of.

    I run both looters and found that people weren't bold enough to play Trademage, even in my graveyard-heavy environment. I also like the casual hand fixing the looters can do for a bad hand. EC>/=ML>BT>>>JE
