Yeah, Arcane Bombardment either wants you to have a slow environment or a deck dedicated to powering it out as early as possible.

I could see 1GE work for Exploring. I think it'd need a bit of playtesting — GE might end up being fine in your environment. As a name for the card. I'll admit that I was looking through the move lists for both Pokemon to see if there'd be a move that you could reference, and Helping Hand...

Exploring feels really strong. Mechanized Growth, on the other hand, is perfect. As for the Eeveelution card... why not Helping Hand?

So, who wants a cube with Vampire Tribal to be a thing? I basically threw this together this evening because my life has been hellish lately and I wanted a distraction. It probably doesn't have enough creatures and some of the cards are probably terrible in this particular format... but rest...

My eyesight isn't particularly bad. It's my brain — I got a defective one, so my senses don't work properly. My eyes gloss over art something fierce.

@TrainmasterGT I think I have to disagree with the assertion that Standard was improved by War of the Spark and friends... but that might just be because I can't look at any of the top decks from ELD standard without vomiting in my mouth a little. I also have the suspicion that a lot of the...

Sorry to double-post, but I just found the perfect removal spell for this format. :p Blazing Hope

I feel like this is the kind of "archetype" where you'd be better off picking 2-3 cards and breaking singleton on each. The problem is that most Phoenixes were designed to be curve-toppers or synergy pieces for different archetypes. While you could build a deck that, for example, runs Flamewake...

I don't think Ward is the right comparison, really. Maybe if we were talking about death triggers/leave the battlefield triggers? I think it's generally better to look at ETBs as if the card was a Sorcery (or Instant, if the critter has Flash) that happens to make the appropriate token. Honey...

That would require me to have eyes that work properly, sadly.

Ditto Day Care should say that it copies an Energy when it enters the battlefield, not a land. I don't have a suggestion for more lands, but dang I wish that the Legend's Lair cycle was a real land cycle.

I'd imagine that that's referring to combat tricks. In other words, no running You Come To A River or the like.

Turn The Earth/Memory's Journey/Serene Remembrance are probably the best picks if you want "I shuffle cards into my library" to be an archetype, and not just a colorless build-around. On the topic of cards that bottom cards, I will admit to some fondness for Not Forgotten Especially since...

Kirby has a history of having weirdly intense boss fights. I played one of the newer ones with a friend a few years ago and the final boss had something like 8 or 9 phases.

Yeah, not that I really participate in the testing threads anyway (because that would rely on me having some kind of method or something), but having a separate thread just for the Commander cards feels a tad excessive.

I experimented with micro cubes for a little bit a few months ago, and one surprisingly interesting card for a tiny-deck format was Serene Remembrance

You can also add decks that want to land a single evasive threat in order to win the game to that list. Which includes stuff like classic control decks with creature-based finishers and "protect the queen" strategies (think old-school all-in Delver decks). Sudden Edict is basically tailor-made...

Allow me to sing the praises of this little card: Blessed Alliance Blessed Alliance exists to do one thing - screw with combat math. Oh, sure, you can use it to combo with creatures with {T} abilities, but it really exists to turn villain's good attacks into bad attacks. They swing in with a...

Weirdly enough, I feel like this is one of the better types of Edict you can run in Cube: Celestial Flare On defense, you're pretty likely to hit one of Villain's relevant creatures. On offense, you can turn a "safe" block into an unsafe one by forcing them to sacrifice a blocker after the...

I actually kinda like the design, honestly? It's a big pile of money. It'd be weird if it wasn't a treasure. It's also "close enough" to working like a normal treasure, in that you can crack it to add mana. It works with all of the treasure synergy cards that ask you to spend mana from...
