Hey, thanks for the comments and sorry for taking long to answer. I agree Grave Pact may not be very fun. It can be interesting but it's true it can lead to some very loopsided games. Ultimately, there are not that many interesting cards left to try so I decided to give it a try. Murderous...

Ok, so what do you guys think of this? Vessel of Nascency > Abundant Harvest Avenger of Zendikar > Berserk Jadelight Ranger > Managorger Hydra Ambush Viper > Dragonsguard Elite Ancient Stirrings Black also has a bunch of cards that aren't doing much. What do you think about running something...

I have a few slots in black that aren't doing much. How can I use them to promote the use of Bolas's Citadel? Bolas's Citadel

If you haven't tried the degenate micro-cube you should. Sadly, I don't think it works in sealed and my group would never be able to play it! https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/degenerate-micro-cube

Ok guys, I have to questions for you guys. The first is: How would you make Equilibrium interesting? Equilibrium Second, which cards come to mind as being similar archetype build-arounds? Grave Pact Oppossition Earthcraft Oath of Druids They don't have to be old-school or enchantments, I...

I think you are on the right path with your posts on Azorius Tempo and your updates. The only thing I see that may not work out is Trinket Mage. It's a very versatile card but the power level is low, much lower than Emry. I found it suffered heavily from 24th card syndrome which is I cut it. I...

I would have liked it if it gave the creature Indestructible but it wasn't indestructible itself.

As you might now, I'm not a regular player of Magic anymore. For a long time now I've been more involved with other card games, like Netrunner and now Flesh and Blood. In fact, building the cube and talking with you guys has been the main reason I've been toying with it. Magic Arena was more of...

I tried to run Harmonic Prodigy and it was fun, but narrow. The main issue is that it leans very heavily into Izzet Spell decks. While, theorically, it could slot into other decks, it's so much better in Izzet that it ends up being its main home. Notably, the power level of targets in blue is...

Tron is dangerous in so far you can build a fairly normal deck that just happens to get 4 extra mana if the game goes long. There were decks that assembled Tron by playing Tidings, it's not absurd. That said, Tron decks are not inherently broken. Expedition Map and very strong payoffs are the...

The issue is that every card I want to add costs 3. And that's already the case in blue and, to a lesser degree, white. So I run into the issue of having too many 3-drops in the cube. So far I should try Expansion // Explosion. Is Faithful mending actually good? It's much worse thanFaithless...

Given the composition of my cube, can you recommend me cards for the Izzet and Azorious slots that aren't these four cards and, ideally, that don't cost 3 mana? Soulherder Sphinx's Revelation Rielle, the Everwise Fire // Ice

It has been a long time since I last posted! I've been busy with my blog, saying goodbye to Legend of the Five Rings and getting into Flesh and Blood. But I still want to finish my cube and have fun with it. I'm also very close to doing so so it would be a shame to leave it alone. Some changes...

Ah yes, I knew having a discount on the top made it draw your deck but I had forgotten it still works superwell without it.

I think Blacksmithy is right. Your comparison was useful for me to agree with Backsmithy, though. It made me think of how different Future Sight is to Monk Class. Monk Class can draw you an extra card per turn assuming you've already played a spell and you didn't hit a land. In other words...

Monk Class What do you think? Does it actually work? Does it promote spell-heavy decks?

Pentavus is middling but it's stronger than it looks. First, it can fog creatures for 2 mana. Second, if you are ahead, it's very hard to get rid of as it can turn itself into many smaller creatures. It's certainly a creature from an older era of design, for better and worse.

You can simply see this in cards like Cavalier of Gales. Having three different abilities was very rare for older cards, now three is common.

Lutri is literally a free card so I'm not sure if it would actually be any fun. I'm tempted to slot it in because I would love to have one fork but it's just...well, a free card. Or well, a fork that costs 6 mana. I don't know, I'm not sure it's a good design.

They are just 3 mana ramp, like Darksteel Ingot. I wouldn't consider Delirium to be part of their appeal. In fact the kind of decks that wants mana acceleration is rarely the same deck that plays with the graveyard. Like most 3-mana ramp, they are pretty weak. You might have a cube in which...
