Yeah I knew these two. Unlike the llanowar elves variant you most likely never want more than a few of these weird ones in your deck. For Umbilicus and the elves I can understand the desire to have more than 4 copies in your deck.

Yeah, I am surprised they gave it a new name. Almost like they want you to build a cube with it...

You mean Umbilicus? It works great with your own etb, but also the opponents ones.... Furthermore, if most of your cards are cheap or grim monolith then it is a great card. However, it is only for slow cubes. It works well with stack synergies like Tangle wire I think those strategies are...

Note that in the old days blue was often not strong as mono color. It was/is great in card drawing and stealing. They shit the bed when they added strong creatures to blue. Also some mistakes were made by letting blue be the artifact color ally instead of the new kiddo red. The feeling I have...

It is strong because it has creature destruction unlike in the old days. I cannot imagine that the deck would be strong enough without the creature destruction.

Also be careful with combinations of strenghts/weaknesses which makes a color garbage. Green could do without creature destruction because its creatures where the biggest, cheapest, and so on. Sadly, this broke down when wotc decided to make creatures stronger overall in all colors.

Actually, I like it! Add the great polarizer: Smokestack This is not sarcasm. I think a bit of landdustruction once in a while is healthy. Especially if it is viable in your cube to have a deck that relies on many lands in play. Or use it to negate Goblin guide . Or add Rivalry to negate...

You want vanilla creatures and so on. Maybe you should look at https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/lessons-from-a-block-cube.3372/ A block/set cube has not many keywords, which makes it much easier to grok for players unknown to the cube.

Mine is low powered. Even while it has broken urza cards...

The formula is simple: take your favorite block/string of sets. 1. Cut the chaff (yes, also grbs mythics, and rares which are useless in such a draft.) 2. Double some mythics/rates 3. Double the uncommons. Some tripled. 4. Double all commens. Some tripled, and some even 4 or 5 times. Seed the...

Probably set/block cubes. The issue is do you want recent retail or old? Old retail had quite good commens/uncommens (no need to take the ratio of rarety into account) Nowadays the best cards are rare/mythic, so you need to take into account the ratio of bombs to garbage.

Is the root of the problem not that males and females are treated differently in our society? For example if a male has a lot of lovers it is percieved as great but if a female has a lot of lovers it is perceived as something bad.

No one said that it had to be red eh? Ray of Command Overtaker

Nobody mentioned Insurrection it is a game ending card. So be careful

Oops, that just a 2 drop which is big/becomes big went straight over my head. I always liked Molten hydra but it is very mana intense

They are different? One looks at graveyard. Other at spells cast since it is in play? For example, what is the power at topdeck? The red ine sucks at topdeck, but could be the stronger 2 drop

Well, artifacts had the same points you mention. Black could not destroy them. Besides what is wrong that a color has a weakness? As long as you still have a great shot at winning against it. There are a lot of growing enchantments, spell enchantments, sleeper, hidden enchantments which are...

Hmm, I am biased since my cube is slow and do not mind cycling costs of 2. Cycling helps with mana screw/flood, delirium, threshold, reanimater to name a few. I have been playing for a long time and do like the choices that Kavu titan brings. Yes it can be a tough pill to swallow to play it as...

Is it that hard? Many cubable cards have cycling (or add bicycle lands instead of duals, or add cycling basics to the basic land box).
