In my experience, it has an atrocious failure rate. If you draw lands or creatures for two turns or it gets killed then it's pretty terrible. On the other hand, you can get lucky, hit a cheap kill spell and get a recurring, bigger flying Nektrataal which is hard to beat. I would look into other...

Right now I'm happy at 50 cards, though I will give it a whirl if I end up getting an additional card. Thanks! Sadly, the other colours are much harder to fix than white, if simply because I really have no idea or where to take them :(

It's far more powerful than Dark Ritual. Dark Ritual gives +2 mana when you play it. Grim Monolith gives you +3 the next turn, which is a massive difference. Early Myr Battlespheres, Immortal Suns and Ugins are very likely. Quite frankly, it goes with everything. Being colorless, it fits in any...

I would run Entomb since its small cost opens up more possibilities, like getting a Gravecrawler into the yard. Unmarked Grave is the same card at a slighty higher price. I wouldn't run the later two as getting to 4 and specially 5 mana renders the whole point moot. Lamia is better as a 4/4...

Since my white section is in such great shape, I decided to check practically every card in existance to fill the remaining two slots. And I've decided to add these two: Mana Tithe Elspeth Conquers Death These are both versatile cards that are not just generic removal or more aggro beaters...

Chop, chop, chop. Let's make cuts until we are only left with the core of the cube. Thrashing Brontodon Vampiric Tutor Pernicious Deed Unburial Rites Geist of Saint Traft Sarkhan Vol Glare of Subdual Rishkar, Peema Renegade Jadelight Ranger Avalanche Riders Oona's Prowler Phyrexian Arena Also...

Sometimes I forget people hate fun. Nah, being serious, I know people don't like having their sandcastle knocked over and they hate if it's "unfair" in any way. I also know Mindslaver represents an inherent loss of player agency. But c'mon, I think everyone should recognize the fun in your own...

Can't believe we haven't had this one yet: Master of Death Squee, Goblin Nabob Discuss!

I'm so jealous of your Splending Reclamation piles but I'm afraid of jamming it on my cube. Also, who the hell hates Mindlsaver? Seriously, that card is extremely well designed and the effect is both fun and completely unique in gaming. It's difficult to lock your opponent with it and, while...

These changes look fine to me. While there's a power increase, I think they are all intersting, synergetic cards not just stuff that you can put in any deck

Hallowblade is good but remember it's terrible against tokens.

So right now it's not fully working, but the Harmonic Prodigy experiment is going better than I thought. Test A: https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/deckbuilder/60cfc9987a1ab71030825122 Test B: https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/60cfc515929b51103f762ede Some stuff that isn't doing anything too...

Ok, time to make some changes. First, I'm slighty toning down my white removal: Swords to Plowshares -> Oust Path to Exile -> Prismatic Ending Second, I'm going to try something with Reanimator. I'm going to keep a high-power reanimator suite with my actual not-too-great targets. I think that...

How has Leonin Lightscribe been for you?

I think it's one of those cards that don't work. Not work on a "this card is bad" level, but on a "this card does not work mechanically".

How many wizards and shamans would I need to make Harmonic Prodigy worth it? Something like one in five creatures, perhaps? I think it could add some interesting play to my red-based sections like Humans has for white. Harmonic Prodigy

Another question, is Hard Evidence a good card? I mean, Thraben Inspector is, but that thing can attack, can be blinked or recurred which the crab token can't. Sorry, I can't evaluate it at all.

Oooh I get it now!

Wait, isn't Kaleidoscorch a strictly worse Firebolt? What am I missing?

Firestorm is a strong card, but it's also fairly demanding. As a design, it's fun, challenging and very skill-testing. 1) You need to discard a rather large number of cards to work. For example, to destroy two small creatures you need to play it and then discard two other cards, so it's mana...
