    Card/Deck Making Gruul do more than stompy, or make stompy Gruul more interesting?

    It still doesn't really address the specificity of the mechanic: Discarding is just so much more uncommon than anything else in natural magic. Every other synergy based archetype I've tried does better without its enablers. Take a look at the other halfs of popular combos: (the image here is...

    yeah I feel like the good things about black vice are better achieved by just sculpting the curve of the enviornment

    Yup. You missed it, but we're all playing Yu-Gi-Oh now. The latest expansion really opened up design space, so we started making cubes.

    Oh god withering hex needs to cost BB1 nonmadness the thing with madness is that I think the other stuff you're usually doing alongside it (Flashback/spells matter/yard etc) ends up outshining it since the madness trigger itself is so specific. It's the kind of thing that so rarely happens...

    IIRC Caleb Durward did a series of legacy "lets see what might happen if we unbanned this card" videos and even with goblin guide synergy, wasteland and stifle to keep people off mana it still wasn't good enough for legacy. It's kind of one of those weird cards where it's either horrible or...

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    1 mana addle is fun, but it's not something I'm like "OH MY GOD ADD THIS" level fun, it's just moreso than thoughtseize :p It reminds me of how Cabal Therapy feels to play, but that card can be hard to play with casual cubers and constantly changing lists. Wrench Mind is also an interesting one...

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    Ah, good call on the ULD. I can see an argument for swapping the scry and the dual lands positions, but either is totally fine. I totally missed that lands edge doesn't hit creatures :p I'm way more warm on the card now, even if it can't ram nighthawks out of your way, you have other burn...

    Love the design, but cube is a little more go for the throat than annihilate

    I'm actually a little worried about how strong kalestria highborn would be with zombies

    Protip: If you double sleeve your cube, put the erratta on the inner sleeve. Makes it easy to change, and doesn't ruin the card

    Other than the god hand with champion of paris, is he a good creature on his own? I've always found echo and gather the townsfolk to be lame on their own

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    Double inquisiton sounds cool! I love a good discard spell that isn't just thoughtsieze. (My personal favorite is a custom Addle that costs 1) Questions: -Has land's edge been drafted yet? Has it been a liability at all? -How good has spiketail drakeling been? -Have people had enough stuff to...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    I don't think the removal spell will be unconditional at 2, that's mostly black's thing. My initial idea was Police Brutality from over in the custom thread: Police Brutality {1}{W} Sorcery ~ deals 3 damage to target creature. Detain that creature. Second one is an interesting control card...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Initial Patch ideas: White -Brothers in Arms (See above) -Ainok Bond-Kin (But costs W, Outlast 4W, this is FSR's design) -Favored Hoplite -Triple Hero of Iroas -Archangel of Thune (For Counters) -Double Defiant Strike -Some white sorcery removal that isn't horrible (Like actually a sorcery, not...

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    Which of these sounds more appropriate for cube? Hornet Princess :3:{G}{G}{G} Flying, Deathtouch When Hornet Princess enters the battlefield, put three 1/1 green Insect creature tokens with flying onto the battlefield. 2/2 or Silverback Colossus {4}{G}{G} When ~ enters the battlefield (Or...

    Another easy one is adjusting costs by a small amount of colorless. Addle for :b: is probably less work than human amrou scout
