This last idea I think is probably the best direction. Zombies is capable of going wide and fuel for the deck never hurts. It's not really an option for the deck to take a controlling role because the core of the archetype is built around creatures that say "can't block". Opposition is a card...

I'm actually pretty optimistic about Ophiomancer. My cube could use some additional anti-aggro, and the decks are so removal heavy I think they'll be able to cope. Also the card is pretty nutty in a sacrifice deck. Ping them with Goblin Bombardment on their turn and yours. I'm not nuts about...

Screecher: I think a 3/2 flier with unearth will see play. It fits right into a ton of blue tempo decks. Captain: Yeah, it's not getting played outside of those decks. But it's currently the best incentive I have to get the color to play blue so I'm willing to make that concession for now...

I have an objection to creating 360 unique cards. Imagine how much reading you do the first time you draft a set, perhaps even after browsing through the visual spoiler. It's a huge complexity / barrier to entry burden. Uh, I was thinking of things that say like "if an opponent lost life this...

I was thinking, is there a way we can make it more interesting of a decision on when people crack fetchlands? Some sort of Bloodthirst-esque mechanic? For the beginning it's probably most useful to focus on establishing an approximate mechanical space with appropriate overlaps, and dig into...

Yeah, I could. I'm just kind of going by feel at the moment. Creature type errata has been used by Cooperfauss before, I'm sure it would work here too. In the chat I had the really stupid idea of a Delver that became a Zombie when it flipped. Obviously that's a really stupid idea and I've put...

Sorry, to clarify, the card either: a) stayed in your deck or b) got retired A tutored card would not go back to the collection.

The way we played it is you got to choose, so long as you presented a legal deck for the start of the next game.

Land Tribal intersection: Riptide Lab

Anybody else coming around on the new card border?

Intersect Brainstorm and Sacrifice themes? :p

Hmm, I don't really think of the graveyard as one of the active play spaces of this cube. Thirst is a card, and it's there, but cards like that and Forbidden Alchemy aren't really going into a Gravecrawler deck, nor do most of these cards do much when dumped into the yard. It's a nice thought...

Yes, well, there's a couple ideas. One is to have regular "good" cards contribute to the theme, e.g. Falkenrath and Putrid Leech. The second is, if you make the theme big enough then it becomes a major component of your set. I've had red decks that use sacrifice themes without using...

Black 3-drop candidates, with the hope that things are more control friendly than aggro friendly: Demonic Taskmaster Phyrexian Rager Ophiomancer Arrogant Bloodlord Discuss.

Keep in mind that for curve purposes the black cards are like, 90% of a card and other color cards something like 30% of a card, in a mixture distribution. Cutting Stronghold Assassin, Geralf's Messenger, Lifebane Zombie and Curse of Shallow Graves.

Okay, let's talk about this. This is a big problem people. The support that comes from other colors mainly comes from 3's. That means I need to create demand for them, specifically by slashing the 3's the you get from just staying in black. I need some more generic and/or control-friendy 3...

This. I have written an article about it but it hasn't been published yet. Stay tuned. For paper I just make a 360 list. There are a lot of polycube cards I don't have in paper.

Hallowed Burial, untap, Grenzo, go to town.
