Can you give me an example of what we're considering a false negative that isn't something like Quirion Dryad? I wasn't including those cards in the set of cards we were looking for, since all three examples cared about permanents. And how the heck are we supposed to hit cards like Dwarven...

The problem with that approach is that you get false positives like Kyren Legate

I don't think there's a better way of doing it, sadly. You can get pretty close by searching for ci=1 o:"you control a " But then you still need to sort through stuff that wants you to control a Demon or a Wizard or whatever.

On a different topic, what are people's opinions of Angel of Vitality? I'm fond of the little angel - she buffs incidental lifegain (like, say, from a Firemane Angel) and lifelink, and if you have the necessary life threshold, she's a flying 4/4 for 3. But that's mostly just from using it in...

If you want a cheaper/smaller version of that effect, why not try Circle of Flame? It's half the damage for half the mana and half the colors. It's less of a board wipe (though it does stop armies of 1/1 tokens cold), and more of a way for a control deck to trade more efficiently. I'm also...

Clearly the 5.

Clearly it's going to be Trash Mage.

It's a low-ish power option, but: Disciple of Deceit

I actually wonder if the errata might be enough to make Green into a potential spell color? Like having RG spells, supported by... Hana KamiLoam DwellerSoilshaperBudoka PupilElder Pine of JukaiKodama of the South Tree (It's 1 in the morning here, so forgive me if any of these aren't that...

Ooh, yeah, that's what I'm looking for. Are any of the Spiritcraft cards any good? I've always been fond of this guy: Elder Pine of Jukai But I'm not sure that it'd be good even if it triggered off of any instant or sorcery.

I found them when I was searching "c:1 ci:2", which also finds stuff with off-color Flashbacks and Kickers.

In all seriousness, what would you have to change about Pack Rat to make it not GRBS?

I did say that I was leaving out cards that everyone talks about. :p

Fair... but the thing about Silverfur Partisan is that it affects any instant/sorcery spell that might target a Werewolf/Wolf, so it gives you some insurance against targeted removal.

That's very true - I guess part of what I was looking for were cards that don't really need you to have a bunch of incidental cards in that tribe. Stuff with a solid WCS. Take this little Wolf Tribal package: Silverfur PartisanMaster of the Wild HuntNightpack Ambusher If you manage to...

It's interesting that the wordiest cards in each color are the Sparkers... except for in Black.

It's pretty much a given that tribal strategies are pretty parasitic, and kinda suck in Cubes unless you really warp your environment around them. But that got me thinking about cards that let you do nifty tribal stuff without demanding that you go all-in. To that effect, I searched Scryfall...

That's pretty much what I expected, to be honest. Quick 180 - if I errata'd my cube so that all Instants and Sorceries are Arcane, are there any Kamigawa cards that go from "not worth it" to "interesting"? I'm looking at this cycle in particular: Faithful SquireCallow JushiHired...

Is any part of this double cycle worth cubing? I once built a casual GW aggro/midrange deck focused around the White and Green guys (plus Loam Lion and Hedge Troll) that I remember with some fondness, but I'm worried that there isn't enough critical mass once you take away the ability to play...
