Do I want to know? ... The design is very... "hey, how do we make another Green commander that cheats out permanents?", but on the other hand it's also gay. I'm torn.

I was going to post The Shark - it definitely feels like something you could slip into a cube without too much of an aesthetic clash. Also, I'm kinda curious why Amonkhet's team is headlined by a zombie cat person, given that I'm pretty sure Amonkhet didn't have cat people the last time we saw...

As someone who Exhaust should be perfect for (2 and 3 drops with abilities that fill in the mana curve? Those are my jam!)... I dunno. It feels like it's yet another mechanic that adds a memory burden for minimal real advantage - contrast it with kicker, which is generally one-and-done. Also...

I think part of it was also that Clues were the first token they defined in the comprehensive rules instead of on cards. A shame. We could've gotten Cook and Bleed as keywords.

Collect Evidence should have just been called Collect or Research or something, because the mechanic itself is honestly pretty flexible. It also has the big advantage that you don't need extra gameplay trackers, unique tokens, or special frame treatments to reuse it. Mechanics like that feel...

I swear I looked at the smilies menu...

Mounts should also be allowed! Terrible game mode. ;)

I was reminded of this recently because this thread popped up recently, and I feel like the reason why it kinda-sorta works thematically is that the sweet wizard duel that's "portrayed" by Magic is usually really zoomed out. We're talking "Urza vs. Yawgmoth was a single Bo3 match of Magic"...

Another possibility (which honestly might be on the "fairer" side of things): Mawloc On the one hand, you do need to actually spend 5 mana to trigger the card draw. On the other hand, X spells just fit wherever on the curve.

Yeah, I feel like an important thing to keep in mind about a 15-card format is that after you draw your starting hand your remaining deck is roughly a fourth of the size of a 40-card deck (8 remaining cards vs. 33 remaining cards). That said, I think a cube trying to emulate constructed might...

Triumph of Saint Katherine and Alchemist's Greeting are a pair of keywords you've missed. And there's always Dream Halls if you want to get really crazy with it.

Ugh, I just had an idea that's so much cooler than my current entry. Back to the drawing board. On an unrelated note, I dare someone to make this an archetype in your entry: Advantageous Proclamation

I see your Sound the Call micro-archetype and I salute you. (Needs more Wolf Tribal.)

So, everyone, I have a dilemma: Surging Flame Surging Flame Surging Flame vs. Stomping Slabs Stomping Slabs

I feel like seeding lands or customizing the basic land box is fine - it's mostly to stop people like me from including weird rules that make the cube tricky to assess during voting. Bear in mind that 15 card decks mean that people will be running 5-6 lands and effectively see their entire deck...

I honestly wonder how viable that kind of strategy would be in a cube that wasn't as defensively skewed as a sudden death cube (where a core part of the gameplay is "prevent villain from hitting you")? The second player getting eight turns to kill you is entirely reasonable if you've got a more...

I feel like it reduces spice a little because only having 15 cards to work with adds a sense of urgency to the game. Who knows - if I end up including one of my favorite dumb archetypes (Serene Remembrance + Surging Flame my beloved) I might go with it because Serene Remembrance throws the turn...
