Could that not be said about most formats though? Once I actually saw a winning Vintage decklist that was entirely singleton, save for a playset of Force of Will.

I imagine that, like Unleash, the mechanic plays better than it reads.

I don't think it's impossible to design cards that offer interesting punisher dynamics.

Maybe Volrath's Stronghold.

Now I'm imagining some alternate-universe version of MTGS where you can include two copies of a card in your cube so long as they have different set symbols. I mean, what is really the difference between: and "Sweet, now our cubes can have two Mind Sculptors!"

But seriously, this is a good idea. Not really sure what to put in it though.

I dunno, after being so utterly unimpressed with their last Dark Confidant variant, I'm really not expecting much here. Drawing a card during your first upkeep with Confidant and being able to keep him out of combat provides most of the value. There are very few creatures Pain Seer doesn't trade...

It's not really legal text, but I would probably just replace the last two with "proliferate target permanent". You don't need to have a special charge counter clause.

No, I think that massively degenerate combos are fine, but the games should be around setting up / protecting the combo, not just jamming it because odds are they don't have an answer. I want a player blindly running out a single combo to lose to somebody holding up Force of Will.

I kinda like the Nessian Devastator: ~Nessian Devastator Creature — Hydra Tribute 6 (As this creature enters the battlefield, an opponent of your choice may put 6 +1/+1 counter on it.) When ~ enters the battlefield, if its tribute wasn't paid, you may have ~ fight another target creature...

I'm not sure that Pain Seer is actually good. Maybe with Opposition... :) Ah, thanks, I was going to ask.

I could see this being an option, but my main concerns are: 1) having to print out that many proxies / the annoyance of having to sort it all and deal with bookkeeping to ensure all the cards are in the right place 2) calibrating the number of picks. If you did it this way, would you still need...

Yes, essentially. There is some wiggle room, but I tried to keep the basic dynamic as the main cube ones being "interesting to pick versus a spell". I could see somebody doing it differently, but so far the decision dynamic has worked pretty well.

I think Undying Evil is totally real. Fringe, maybe, but it's often a total blowout.

I can't be the only one who finds the concept of Human tokens to be incredibly off-putting.

Flagstones has been fun in the new whiteness: Flagstones of Steppe Lynx Ajani's Pridemate Zuran Orb

The fastest way for me to lose respect for an entire room full of people is by playing Cards Against Humanity with them.

Monopolize the fuck out of it.
