bUt It CaN't DrAw LaNds Board the Weatherlight Speaking on a possible Bant legends + Esper artifact theme similar to Shards, but with Bant as a real deck instead of housing a mechanic that sucks, let's see if it's worthwhile to enable Board to draw us lands. I suspect we have more wiggle room...

I think it's pretty stupid that I can have 11 Jaces and 4 Blue Castles in play. Both were done to sell packs and both are pretty thematically ugly. Let's go back to Kamigawa.

Someone convince me black castle is actually good. Like, a card draw land is awesome, but The aggro decks won't have enough mana to use it or want it to come in tapped. They'd rather recur a one drop. Midrange decks might need it if their life total isn't being pressured. And if it is...

Digging most of those cards. Good examples of "this is cool but sucks" but it's just cool if you trim a mana. Also, seeing as they're all multicolored, it confirms my theory that the next place to look is at color pairings. Basic landcycling cards, and cycling in general, are also usually...

Ya. I have a hard time telling if it's better to run the colorless ones to keep them flexible or try to limit them to certain colors a little. I think it could be beneficial to give every deck access to them. Probably able to run some in colorless and then some that support color roles as well...

Broom is great for anyone whose seen Fantasia. Knight seems like a potential blowout. I'm offended you didn't tag me for the cauldron. This probably makes it for me, but I'm not thrilled. R/G hybrid is a 5/5 for 4. That's decent.

Maybe. I kind of do this anyways. It's gonna take some exploration, for sure. I'm betting we can manage to make hard aggro that has a midgame plan. You've stolen my next post!!! Similarly, adventures get a huge upgrade. Anything that you cast twice gets -2 mana, essentially, and looks...

Another card for all the red cubes out there... Come on, WOTC!!

Man... I thought about that for sure and I'm so scared to push something better than Rampant Growth. If you go read the last page of CBS, you'll see that I'm hesitant to let people ramp. I dislike a lot of how it affects the format. I've been wondering how to handle ramp here. I typically...

ZERO MANA? AEther SpellbombPyrite SpellbombImplement of CombustionImplement of Ferocity These are all zero mana artifacts that seem reasonable if the ability is viewed as a sorcery. This is significant because a Hellbent or artifact deck can take advantage of having permanents in play. Other...

COOL AGGRO FINDS Alpha MyrBronze Sable There's tons of colorless 2/X for two (AKA one) if we want to support either artifact aggro or just have our one drops be universally playable. Both aspects can be very beneficial. SomnomancerGroundling PouncerMedicine RunnerNightsky Mimic Similarly...

HAND SMOOTHING Blue usually gets all the fun here. White will still suck, but I'd rather have one color lacking than only have one color that can do it. I maybe double, triple, or quadruple run these. Not sure. Board the Weatherlight This is just OK because it can't grab spell or land without...

WHAT IS IT? A cube where all cards cost 1 mana less, as if you had a Helm of Awakening emblem out. I'll probably also make it so that land drops enter untapped so that the mana bases can unlock some new cards as well. I think a lot of WOTC's designs are held back due to the potential of a...

Ha, that's one of my favorite UG themes, although I'd likely never run it. The power level difference between Vizier or Voyaging Satyr vs the kind of crucial Utopia Sprawl and Wild Growth alone is too significant for me. So I'd have a hard time making it work at the level I like to be at, even...

Na, 7-8 in the whole thing. I don't know what people actually use, but that's how many I thought of. Then 2-4 in the deck would be what I'd expect. I actually do like uber-ramp, but based a little higher in the curve. I don't think it's particularly good, but everyone loves casting some...

Like I said... It's a daunting card pool to figure out lol. I'll boot up the thread sometime this week and we'll see if we can work through it. Your Kor Skyfisher image is broken.

Ahh, didn't see this. You've gone just a step further than I'm planning. Hymn is still really feel-bad and a sturdier elf is very explosive. Alpha Myr as colorless Lions would be kind of bottom-line aggro, because I'm not a fan of how these guys often do nothing past turn 3-4, but colorless...

I don't own this currently, but I'm certain he's a big deal in the black cube and I don't blame them.

I never really go over there either because it's too much to keep track of. I don't even have my own thread there because my own cube is too much to keep track of. I'll just quote you to pull you into the thread lol. I'm definitely interested in exploring the idea pretty deeply so that I can...
