    Dav's Cube: The Antiquities War

    Any thought into including a land like Ancient Tomb in there? It seems like one could almost build an entirely colorless deck out of those cards.

    I can't imagine Renounce the Guilds being very good in a regular set. Most cubes are running at fewer than 10% multicolor cards, and even fewer of those are permanents. Nivix Cyclops eh? It's a bit of a neat card, especially considering they wouldn't print a straight 4/4 in 1UR the way they do...

    Okay, so let me (for my own sake) try to see what we have here to get a feel for the lay of the land: Black Red Green - Eldrazi Spawn Tokens Green White - Populate White Red - Battalion (not very fleshed out yet) Black Green red - Morbid Blue Green - Evolve Blue X - Proliferate Black - Swamps...

    Altar's Reap! Exactly the card I need for my new cube project!

    Snap call: Is this card totally awesome or totally OP for a multicolor Eldrazi cube?

    Great post Calvin! I like the Nephilim, but don't know how much space I'll have for 3+ color cards. Love the Civic Sabre tech. That's really the perfect card here. I was looking for an "protect all my creatures" card for white, and Rootborn Defenses slots in oh so well. How has Doubling...

    My cube is a little nutty at the moment, but here are some favorites that are off the beaten path:

    Next idea: Now, how do we get these guys online in an aggro deck? Hybrids! Along with scattered 1-drop hybrids of sets past. I was trying to find a nice identity for some of the color pairs, and I really like the idea of having a proliferate subtheme. It plays well with several...

    Hi Brad! Great thread. I really like the three cards you mentioned, and it sounds like you have a lot of really great interactions going on in your cube. I'll check back in later to see if I have sweet tech to add. In the meantime, here are some card images so others don't have to track them down:

    General ChannelFireball: Remodeling, Part 2

    Yeah, I noticed the broken pictures. One of them is Grave Pact, can't remember the others off the top of my head. The relevant files are attached, the new one is slightly changed from before.

    Trying to think of ways to connect different colors. Battalion feels like an interesting space to dabble in, frontlined by the surprisingly relevant Legion Loyalist: I was also looking at Not of this World: There's probably room for Not of This World, but we could expand on that idea with...

    I don't currently have much going on in the low CMC part of the spectrum.

    Yes, there were, but nobody played Surgery. There was also Primeval Titan Valakut. Anyways... Dragon's Maze!

    Dav's Cube: The Antiquities War

    Hi Dav, thanks for posting! Quick question, do you have any sample decks from your cube you can post images of? I find this really useful for understanding how a format works. (If you have a decklist on hand, I like to make the deck in MTGO so that it's easy to see all the cards laid out and...

    I also don't really think Psychic Surgery was intended as a safety valve. The actual safety valves of that era were things like:

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    These sound kind of like irreparable color pie concerns. So many tempo decks move into red for the likes of Lightning Bolt and Lightning Helix. Definitely deserves a thread, but there are some larger issues at play here. Traditionally red carries the aggro load by necessity. There are only so...

    I don't really think it's a bad thing for Wizards to print safety valves that never get used. It's far better than the alternative.

    Love the Evoke idea. That forces us to run Undying Evil too! I am not super against Horde of Notions as a niche archetype anchor. I do need to take a second look at those Bringer of the ___ Dawn cards.

    Keep the tech rolling! Dav, you mentioned the role of blue in this cube. I definitely need to expand there, but part of its identity will be as the primary home of sweet domain cards. Currently thinking: 1-2 Allied Strategies 1 Collective Restraint 4 Evasive Action (this will be our only...
