I concur that Thragdaddy is still probably your best bet for a five-drop green beater, at least out of those choices.

I'd honestly prefer it if it didn't explicitly tutor for a card with Madness.

Honestly, a cube that's built of nothing but the A+B combos that we all thought were so cool when we started off would actually be really fun. And it wouldn't necessarily be a straightforward list, since a lot of them would probably overlap. ... Some other combos that newbie me thought were...

Some other options (including a pet card): Purify the Grave Serene Remembrance There's also this weird set of cards, which are kinda-sorta graveyard hate if you squint? Spurnmage Advocate Pulsemage Advocate Shieldmage Advocate Forcemage Advocate Nullmage Advocate The Advocates don't directly...

I'd also take the Omenspeaker, because it's less dependent on my opponent having creatures (since you can technically beat someone to death with a 1/3, while that option is off the table with the Mutation).

I notice a lack of Arboreal Grazer (Fight with the 0/3. You know you want to! :btg:)

Eh, I feel like Magic would be a stronger game if they didn't feel such an overwhelming need to make every set feel completely unique. We literally have about two hundred different keywords/ability words. Maybe do a little bit of the reduce-reuse-recycle, eh Wizards?

I'll take the cake, please.

Give me Conspire or give me death.

I'm thinking about the following for various cubes: Chivalric Alliance Saiba Cryptomancer Exsanguinator Cavalry Seer of Stolen Sight Death-Greeter Champion Nahiri's Warcrafting Pain Distributor Voldaren Thrillseeker Shivan Branchburner Ozolith, the Shattered Spire Halo Forager Stormclaw Rager

Well, that, or do the FIRST COMBO that me and my friends figured out back when we were teenagers: Palace Guard Ghostly Possession

That's when you hit them with the ol' Gravity Well

Fair enough. I disagree with your assessment of one being smoother than the other, but I'll chalk that up to a difference in opinion. ... I just realized that they missed an opportunity with Battles — they could've stuck all the rules info on the "back" of the card and made the front part a...

I will confess being a little confused that you pointed to Learn/Lessons as requiring extra tracking or being a hassle to implement and not, say, Foretell.

The commons are pretty sweet, honestly: And then there's this guy:

Death-Greeter Champion and Chivalric Alliance are great. Another Commander design that I actually really like is: Look at this little guy. It's his birthday, and he decided his present was going to be a crossover between all of the different Vampire things.

Counterpoint to landofMordor: When have we ever stayed on topic in a thread that wasn't discussing a particular cube topic? No, seriously, the LotR set preview thread turned into a book suggestion thread for crying out loud. That's just how we do things around here. In other words: if you want...

I'll agree to that — the flip cards are great because they sharply limit the amount of text you can stick on there, which I think is a good thing.

Honestly, it would've been the perfect time to introduce the "forbidden" mechanic that they toyed with in Avacyn Restored — make it so Lessons were good spells that you couldn't include in your library, meaning that you had to tutor them up with spells that let you Learn a Lesson. ... I don't...

I mean, Learn actually saw a bit of play in Standard. It's just that it was pretty weak power-level wise (so it didn't break into eternal formats), can't be used at all in Commander (because it has a "no wishes" rule), and fits kinda awkwardly into Cube. I also think it's a little unfair to lump...
