Ok. I'll get the Alela when I can. I'm looking for more artifacts right now and wanted thoughts on: Sword of Body and Mind Sword of Fire and Ice Sword of Truth and Justice Sword of War and Peace Sword of Dungeons & Dragons Nonblack swords? I've never actually played with swords before...

Alright. Don't actually own a Kethis, but I'll try to get one. You're right that he's probably right around the Vile power level. Vile is just black, though, so it seems less costly to run. I've had success running these guys and no one has been disappointed, or at least no one told me they...

I cut all the vampires that really want other vampires. Leaving the zombies because there's a lot more of them. Lathliss, Dragon Queen? Seems like overkill, ya? You already have a 6/6 flyer, which is good on its own, but do you really need two more dragons on top of that? Do we feel like...

I'm trying to make cuts and you come give me a card to add?! Ya, it does seem pretty good. I think I previously cut it thinking the body wasn't in line with an attacking deck, but getting a card or two is a big deal. Alright, nice. I was actually iffy on those two and marked them just to make...

The thing with all the tribes issues you're having is that they're all good when unsupported. I'll try to address any card that appears to be tribe-supporting. Bladewing is the only card that actually needs another dragon to function, so he could go. Dragon's Hoard is a 3cmc ramp spell, which...

I suspect this has been posted before, but Deathreap Ritual vs Moldervine Reclamation I left out Fecundity because the symmetry can be killer to the caster or the low cmc can be killer to the opponent. Neither is appealing. I'm also open to the idea that neither of these are quite what I...

Y'all got any more of them mana rocks?

Good question. 450-500. Not that concerned on the size. W=U=R=G but black will be 2-3x more cards than those. Probably ~50 per WURG and then don't really care about black or artifact count, as long as it fits in my box, which is 450-500.

The most anticipated post of the decade... TL;DR https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/theblackcube What is it? The Black Cube is a cube where the majority of the cards are black. There's a lot of black removal, black graveyard synergies, black card draw, black aggro creatures, black midrange...

I'll make the thread and you can decide if I have room for both lol. Give me an hour.

I'm running both, but would run the instant option to support blue control if I only wanted one. Molderhulk vs Ghoultree I feel like the land is worth a mana and -4/-4, but I'm not sure. It seems like they both smash sufficiently hard that I'd be happier with the land. This is for The...

Without fetch mana though? Hmm... They're close, but I'm a little skeptical. Not a lot of time to work on this right now. Kind of working on The Black Cube, too. Not sure where I'll end up, but the current list looks decent.

Gilded Goose is a really cool design when it isn't ramping into Oko. Fuck standard... I think Firebolt is a good suggestion for bolting the bird in multiplayer, because it doesn't cost you a full card, but you've highlighted my worry that 1cc ramp unbolted is a bit much. I think it's really...

Fleshbag MarauderGisa and Geralf

How do people feel about Llanowar Elves, etc? I'm sort of interested, but my OOOOLD cube had issues with Elf, early fat green thing, early fatter green thing. I'm wondering what makes the turn 1 ramp appropriate for an environment. I've not played with ramp in a long time.

https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/2xo List is rough but not awful. Appreciate a critique.

Alright. Basically my thoughts. I think the Temple/Tri setup should be similar in consistency to Shock/Dual, perhaps a bit better. But you're right. 3-5 life per game matters a lot. Maybe pain lands could balance that out the other way. Or multiple Mana Confluence, which is a sweet card...

In a five pair/five shard cube, would you rather: Run double fetch, double shock plus some other cycles to fill out to 10%ish lands With the "land drops are untapped" rule, run double trilands, double temples, 1-2 sets desert cycle duals, fill out the rest Other idea And Have you ever run...

I double almost all my one drops because I'd rather have a cool one drop than "I just need a 2/1." I once tried to run a cube with a lot of multiples and disliked how arbitrary my design constraints were. It occasionally gave me a feeling where it seemed like I may as well load up on 10 of Card...

Kind of. I think a high density of smaller payoffs is a big deal, too. But probably if I avoid any THICC payoffs and make sure not to totally overload the free yard shit like Bloodghast and Amalgam type effects, it can't burst anyone out. Maybe it wins an attrition war easily, but, it's Grixis...
