The worst thing about the black cube is that I can't run Jeskai, and this is a real kick in the nuts. This has everything you could possibly want except for a fourth toughness.

I'll second this. Competitive YGO is a bit of a disaster for their card distribution, with the biggest and best shit costing $100+ per card and you typically need 3 of these types of cards. Another flawed tactic they use is that the newest set usually includes a set of pre-packaged monsters...

I always see people talk about Living Death like it's a sweet build-around, but it's a decent wrath that can insta-win the game. I run a black-based graveyard-heavy cube and have never been interested in it. Super high variance card, because sometimes your opponent might have shit you can't...

Help me get my juices flowing... I want your really powerful synergies and/or combos (infinite or not). Probably looking for those 2nd-3rd tier combos. I already know Twin, Druid, etc, of course. Or if anyone knows a database for this kind of thing, that's cool, too. Erik...

Fuck Craterhoof.

Not trying to spam, but this seems the easiest way to ask: People asked about my cube last time, but I don't really have the time/patience right now to type it up and put out a legitimate post. However, I'm sorting through it as soon as the new cards come in and it will be organized into...

This might not be at all helpful because it doesn't fit anyone's build, but here: My cube is about 40% mono black cards and the W/U/R/G sections are about half WB/UB/RB/GB. This is relevant because it allowed me to place the HUGE majority of my one drops into black. There's a few nonblack one...

Of the 5 specifically named cards you listed, I run 0. Going to have to agree to disagree on this one. EDIT: I'll admit that I may add Downfall if WARwalkers prove to be acceptable to my playgroup. Appreciate the entirely unnecessary data, Onder. It's too bad CT is so biased towards older...

I feel like using the term "format staples" is pretty absurd when we are talking about a format where we build varying formats. Maybe that term could apply if you're playing a stock power-max list, but that's it. I also run several cards from both C17 and C18.

Bolas's CitadelCommand the Dreadhorde These seem like a cool payoff and a combo with EtB gain. This is definitely a deck I'm interested in adding, but I'm concerned a lot of the cards in it might be a bit narrow. Been pondering it recently.

I didn't like any of Winnower, Banshee, or Rebel. They all were an FTK, with Winnower occasionally disabled by an X/X. Really disliked every time I saw any of those get played. You could try Hatchling, although it looks maybe a bit weak. I also hated Gearhulk, but could see Overseer costing...

Knight of Grace They almost got the design right here, but the first strike and the oversized body make it difficult to win a fight with until the midgame. My format would LOVE a reasonable hexproof from black card. This guy with no first strike or Vinemare with its abilities combined into one...

Just made a post about this in CBS. The M20 cards were pretty nice for lifegain, and I already noticed some of the stuff you stated. Running most of what you listed, plus Sorin's Thirst and Essence Extraction already. I also have Divinity of Pride and would like to give it a little more love...

Weak is relative. If you truly want to build something tribal, you can adjust your power level to the changelings and run them in multiples. Speaking of tribal... does anyone here run Bx life gain? I can see that feeling almost tribal-ish, but I don't have experience with the deck. M20 had...

If we want to make a speed argument, I'd like to look at legacy reanimator. You know what's really good vs a turn 6 beatdown? A 7 life 7/7. I'm kind of playing devil's advocate, but I think it would take a rather specific format to not want some fatties. I mean, Eternal Dragon is cool and...

I'll be making a post about it at some point, surely. It was a desire to have a grid draftable cube that didn't cut a color, so I wondered what would happen if I forced a color to be taken. Turned out pretty cool. Black-based makes it have a kind of scary theme automatically, which I like. I...

I don't like powerful ETBs, but may run this with no angels or dragons. ETB draw a demon. This seems sweet. This is just a white card with how I count things and it has two relevant creature types. Easily goes in. Probably cool. Relevant creature type, sweet effect, nice body...

Preface: My cube is primarily black cards. Auto include for me. This is 70% of a Dreadbore. That exiles. And scrys. Very likely I use this. Anything that kills and ignores the yard is a good thing. I'll have to check what my removal looks like compared to this. Currently debating if I'm...

Wurm works well in ramp, top end of midrange, some rare green control deck, and any sort of reanimation package. Obviously, we don't want to inundate our curves with 7s and 8s, but I think it's a little crazy to label having a few as poisonous. Like, I get your point that not many decks want...

Throw this bad boy in the fatties thread. Kind of like a slow Atarka. I like my reanimation targets to not be totally backbreaking and I feel like the lack of immediate effect combined with the fear of an attack is a good combo for me.
