Top Cards In case you skipped the first post, these numbers are being compared to a 5900 card format. Here's the cards with 50+ copies (that I noticed). 28. birds of paradise 53 copies Probably the best fixer of all time. The only surprise here is that it's so low on the list. I think Signets...

Combo Decks 14% Project X 5.1% essence warden saffi eriksdotter crypt champion Saffi in play or yard. Play Crypt Champion with no red. Those two target each other back and forth. Essence Warden triggers infinite times. The deck always runs 4 Birds of Paradise for ramp and fixing plus 3-4 Chord...

Control Decks 51.6% I want to preface this by saying that most of this is blue based control with Remand and probably some other counterspells. However, the decks are different enough that it doesn't make sense to lump them together like it did for red based aggro. Blink 8.9% momentary blink...

Aggro Decks 34.4% There were 157 total decks available on mtgtop8. I'll give a brief description of each top deck in the format. Please tell me if I'm wrong on anything. I was 16 when this was happening and didn't have access to all the decks or tournaments, so very little of it is first hand...

Boomer Nostalgia https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/TSPto10E That's not a 6000 card cube. That's a list of every nonland card in a Standard deck on mtgtop8 from the release of TSP to before the release of Lorwyn. There were 19 tournaments of top 8s and undefeated decks available. I thought we...

Kinda unblockable and more overall useful work? basilisk collar eater of virtue umezawa's jitte celestial armor maul of the skyclaves winged boots blade of the oni vorpal sword Not sure what the purpose of being unblockable is here, so not sure if these work. Sword of X&Y also give 40% coverage.

There's a nickname header for the Godzilla style frame. There's also Alchemy and Planeswalker symbols on the onrender version. I don't think you can underline or bold text, sadly.

I like that they made it a modest 3/3 for 3 and made the ability have a cost to it rather than doing the recent trend of making it a 4/3 just because they could and having the ability be automatic or something.

No one's excited by the vampire that publicly reads feminist literature but privately watches Vladimir Tate? kirol, attentive first-year I like hybrids. I like triggered abilities. I like tapping my Spawns for stuff. I don't like that this dude took a Thunder Junction choo-choo train from...

I've looked at doing this before because the Eldrazi-specific ramp options aren't as good as artifacts or spells. It looks pretty easy to make work, at least compared to Eldrazi. I think that even 7-8 mana is so much easier to reach than 10. A lot of the cards you listed only cost 5-6. That...

There's probably some potential for deathtouch plus pingers in the right cube. Doesn't have to happen all the time, but those equipment are all fine and so are quite a few pingers. I thought about it because I have Cunning Sparkmage, but it felt stupid to have a dude wearing a collar able to...

Damn. Those flaming skeleton arts are almost as bad ass as my flaming Hawaiian shirt, I liked the original art on Adept because it ties it to Avatar. Adept has a lot of extra words on it as is to make it work how you want. What if it was Creaturefall instead? I dunno. Another thought, maybe...

blossoming defense I always like a "G: Protect" instant in my lists. Usually this one. Historically, green hasn't interacted much because it has other strengths and that's ok. Couple fights, couple naturalizes, couple pump/other and call it a day.

"permaments"

Nope. Leftover P/T from the Angel. Good catch. I think the card is pretty good at base. It's really nice to have a card with big impact on turn 7 as well as solid options sooner than that. The BR one is the backside of Cryptolith Fragment, which is why the art perfectly fits the name lol...

I was looking at Owling Mine earlier and wondering the same. I don't really think so. Owling Mine as a concept has such a variable matchup spread and would require multiples to make it viable and the cards are pretty narrow. No one wants Vise or Owl except that one deck. You might be able to...

il mheg pixie Sorta close. Definitely clean.

I'd like to run Faeries in cube, so hopefully we get some good ones with flash. I do wonder if they'd be scared to make another Sprite because 8x 2 mana Mystic Snakes is too many for Modern, but it's probably fine because 2 mana needs to win the game these days.

I feel like Spellstutter Sprite is the modern version of Spellstutter Sprite, but it needs friends to work. The card is really sweet. You only need 1-2 Faeries before it hits everything in competitive formats.

Some are MH3 originals. WB and W have options. Not sure if I keep OG for GW. I'm kinda sick of real cards right now, hence looking at customs. UB is wearing me out plus the vision I have for my cube is very specific.
