1. I'm going to do the untapped lands rule and won't go with shock/fetch. I'll likely be on maybe tri/vivid or something unless that gets obscene with 5c bases. Don't love the searching and shuffling or the investment. It's kind of a necessary evil of typical cubes, but I'll see what happens...

HEDGE-MAGE?! First of all, to reply, Snakeform seems cute for sure and possibly good. I've used it at 3cmc and it felt like it got stuck in my hand a lot but it's a lot better at 2. I want to start by saying that I actually really like the concept of these guys, I just think that the...

SIMIC POST Let's wrap this up. Hybrid Groundling Pouncer Sturdy Hatchling Little hitter with a twist. Hatchling posted, but probably not great in 10-guilds. Ramp Gyre Engineer Weaver of Currents Urban Evolution Spring // Mind Tatyova, Benthic Druid Prime Speaker Zegana Sagu Mauler Simic...

BOROS POST On a roll, let's keep the posts going. Almost done with 'em. Hybrid Fresh-Faced Recruit Belligerent Hatchling Spitemare Shattering Blow Arrows of Justice Recruit is a little pushed but I'm not too worried. Boros is an attacking guild, after all. Spitemare is a fixed Reckoner. Blow...

GOLGARI POST Hybrids Pitiless Gorgon Golgari Longlegs Doomgape Cankerous Thirst Death bear, bit of fat, REALLY fat and probably not good, and an interesting (maybe too strong in those tough combats) removal spell. Sac Poison-Tip Archer Golgari Germination Interestingly, this section is...

IZZET POST Hybrids Shrewd Hatchling Nucklavee Hatchlings are kinda cool but probably fall a bit flat in ten guild build. Nuck is sick. High enough on the curve plus below average stats makes me not mind the +2 that you have to work for on ETB. Spells Matter Bloodwater Entity Gelectrode...

Ok, let's reply to all this :) Haze is fine but I don't really want to get out 13 dice to keep track of one spell. Knell is cool but doesn't support my themes. Could make the cut as one of five guilds, but not in ten. Hedge Mages are pretty nasty ETBs all around. Liege is gonna snowball SUPER...

ORZHOV POST Hybrids Mourning Thrull Vizkopa Vampire Voracious Hatchling Lot of lifegain... Lifegain! Drana's Emissary Kingpin's Pet Cliffhaven Vampire Regal Bloodlord Like 99% chance I run exactly these 4. Maybe only Kingpin OR Drana. Legends exists Arvad the Cursed Primevals'...

This was the idea. Kind of a casual mill-out. Maybe a few of the not obscene direct millers. Like, that mill 10 thing is a bit much when you have like 25 cards total by game's end. Bounce your guy, mill a couple. Counter, mill three. Patient Rebuilding: mill draw, mill draw, mill draw. Wipe...

SELESNYA POST Hybrid Medicine Runner Centaur Safeguard Nature's Chant Nature's Chant is a really cool, flexible answer. +1/+1 Good-Fortune Unicorn Enduring Scalelord Lots of options within these colors including the one drop Ainok Bond-Kin. Needs more investigating, but I'm certain...

GRUUL POST The gruul section was originally thick with creatures, but I narrowed it down to the most likely cards. Hybrids Tattermunge Witch Morselhoarder Valleymaker Pit Fight Is Pit Fight even good enough? Probably not, right? I'm skeptical people would tap Valleymaker very often rather...

As I said to Onder, it's unlikely Shambling makes the cut. I'm probably going to aim at 3/2 or 3/3 as the two drops, as a more typical cube would have. The whole curve will need some examining once the multicolor setup is closer to figured out, but I'm definitely using a typical cube as a...

If I decide to pursue the 5 guilds plus 5 tricolor setup, I'm going to need THREE COLOR CARDS Probably 2-3 per combo, five combos total. Let's see what we've got. Alela, Artful Provocateur Sludge Strider Tower Gargoyle Sharuum the Hegemon Alela is Super Omega Nighthawk and is probably too...

I'm seeing a lot of cards that do mill as an accessory to the cards main effect such as Oona, Queen of the Fae, Bond of Insight, Broken Ambitions, Patient Rebuilding, Winds of Rebuke, Didn't Say Please. It seems like you could use these cards to mill a decent chunk off the opponent's deck, maybe...

It's in consideration with 24 other cards for a total of 3-4 slots in a 10 guild or 6-10 slots in a 5 guild/tri build. The power level is going to depend on where it looks like the pieces will set it. It's also one of the less interesting cards in the list. A lot of these cards that have been...

RAKDOS POST Hybrids Spiteflame Witch Torrent of Souls Nice hitter with some mid-late effectiveness plus a pretty interesting Monster Reborn that might be too good. Hellbent seems pretty stupid, but look at all those cards... Jagged Poppet Neheb, the Worthy Bloodhall Priest Dread Slag...

DIMIR POST Hybrids Whisper Agent Only one I liked, surprisingly, after WU was so full. Aggro body with a filter. Could be a bit too much, really. Classic Graveyard Prized Amalgam Tomebound Lich Gisa and Geralf Havengul Lich Possessed Skaab Soul Manipulation Ancient Excavation Extract from...

I'm hesitant on two mana ramp. The original cube I had would Rampant Growth into 2GG fat bullshit all the time. Anyone have experience with turn 2 ramp where they don't feel like it accelerates one deck straight into the midgame? Borderposts were intentionally not mentioned due to all these...

Most Convincing Post 2019 Marshal if your mana can support it. Otherwise, neither. Honor doesn't do anything for me. TITI if you're looking for raw power, which it sounds like you are.
