Yeah. I had Warden in one list but not in the other, so I'm glad it was brought up. I took a long look at Hexdrinker recently and had to tell them no. A black version of Student of Warfare could be cool. Kind of what Warden is, I guess.

Warden and Grenzo are perfect. Effective early and eat lots of black mana later. Cut/Ribbons was in my mind, but I kind of dislike how it sits in the graveyard and does nothing until it ends the game immediately. I'm scryfalling m:x right now.

Grapple provides green with a way to fix their hand and get pseudo card advantage in the early game. Timeless is interesting... on turn 7...

In Search Of Good suggestions if I wasn't producing primarily black mana! Ant Queen may still work, as it effectively would halve the cost with Nykthos or whatever out.

ISO cards that are good with a normal amount of mana, like 1-5, and with a nutty amount of mana, 10+. Looking to have stuff that's fine in a regular game and is also a payoff for Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and Crypt Ghast types of cards. Stonecoil Serpent is a good example. Plays well at 3-4 mana...

I just redesigned the cube and I'm redesigning it again. I have no idea what I want.

The Virgin Phyrexian Rager vs The Chad Priest of Ancient Lore

Grim looks pretty fun/tricky to use. I had Priest but two creatures always seemed like a lot and it didn't see play. Rager might be a worthwhile mild ETB. Those are hard to come by. They seem to either do super little or be really pushed modern designs. Witch scares me. I had her in the list and...

Intending to cut 10 or so artifacts. Could be 20. It's high because the list started as a clone of the artifact heavy version. It's a lot easier because every land is considerably more playable. It's at 11% fixing once it's trimmed to 450, which seems like the consensus amount around these...

https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/rsyt EDIT: Cut the Selesnya anti black idea. New idea is still in that link. Much blacker.

To address the "it's a black heavy artifact cube, not an artifact heavy black cube" issue: I wanted to go deep into artifacts to achieve a level of Mirrodin nostalgia. I think that may be in opposition to the idea of being The Black Cube. I think you simply can't have a list fully invested in...

Came and passed. I was going to make a post about it, but didn't. Been pondering ever since. I got the comment that it feels more like an artifact cube than a black cube now, so I've got some tinkering to do on the numbers. I'll tweak the numbers a bit and possibly play again soon, but COVID is...

I thought this deck could be functional in some kind of environment where you make sure the eggs are somehow desirable to numerous decks. Maybe the mana is clunky or something. I'm not sure. It turns out there's only ten "eggs", so it doesn't look too likely without singleton break. There's...

This is probably the unanimous favorite card in my playgroup! I think your cube looks too fast for it, though. I think it isn't too hard, but there's certainly some concessions that need to be made. Depends how badly you want it. Spent a few seconds trying to figure out which set BLB was...

I personally think it takes away one of green's strengths to give other colors too much splash potential.

A lot of posts I want to reply to, but don't want to make a wall of quotes. It's really interesting to see the differences in each person's forbidden fruit. Everything from cards that barely missed the list to nostalgia picks. I guess you can add half of Onslaught block to my list as a...

I'm constantly thinking about gigantosaursus and body of research and was wondering if anyone else has cards that are constantly tempting them.

Rankle has a sweet effect once per turn in a lot of different decks. Yawg can be GRBS in a sac deck.

Careful actually sort of sucks. I haven't liked it whenever I tried it. FoF and Gifts are pretty slow to resolve and HEAVILY favor more experienced players. Not a 4, but Thirst for Knowledge has plenty of artifacts to pitch in your list.

Wording??? When ~ ETBs or attacks (or you draw, or whatever, I know wording here), put a NAME counter on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, if ~ has a NAME counter on it, apply the following effects: N or more: Effect A. N+ or more: Effect B. 7 or more: Effect C. Bold is the issue. Not sure...
