    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    , then shuffle. White can't grab a Forest. The name feels like a joke. Even if cleavoke is kind of a joke, it's actually working fine for me because it rhymes and familiar players will understand it immediately. There's only 8 white creatures that inherently have reach. 5 are from the 1990s...

    General Alchemy nonsense / "Seek" mechanic

    Indris is really cool and is a card that utilizes the digital only space well. Sigardian Evangel kinda has Replicate 1W. I forgot about the rebalances, but I like a lot of them. What's your beef with Pearl Collector?

    Another problem is that some of the Alchemy cards have no high quality art anywhere online to make a proxy with.

    General Alchemy nonsense / "Seek" mechanic

    I'm not totally against retooling some of the cards a little to have basically the same effect. If a card wants you to draft from a spellbook, for example, take a look at how good the spellbook is and turn it into a draw or an impulse draw. Power level can remain similar while being much more...

    While this is an easy catch-all answer, drafters would be expecting green to do green things. From there, land and ramp gets a bit stronger and it's possible that attempts to bolster the other colors actually help green more. Sure, you can make your cube do most anything, but it can definitely...

    Works with Spawns/Scions for a draw or lets you trash a big Eldrazi for life. Can slowly gain a ton of life by saccing a 10/10 onto a 1/1 or whatever, then sac the 11/11 onto another 1/1 for a 12/12...

    Nongreen Eldrazi? Green is the color of ramp, lands, and big creatures. Even with ramp moved primarily to colorless via Talismans and other rocks, green still has land and creature synergies that favor it as the primary Eldrazi color. traverse the ulvenwald monstrous emergence ramunap excavator...

    @Seeker Is this idea strictly nostalgia bait?

    Pisses me off when they do literal paper cards as digital. Even cards that are easy to convert is annoying. Save the digital designs for digital cards. Limitless Rekindling gets the digital-only idea right. Hell, this card's Commander bait and they didn't even put it in paper.

    The changelings are pretty damn bad, mostly, but this is Jank Spotlight. It would go great in low power tribal or low power Jank Cube. Bears and Anthems isn't the worst spot to be at.

    I always do 3/2/1. Sets have like 80-100 C/U/RM, so that ends up cube sized. Here's ROE as a 3/2/1 if you want to plug it into your CubeCobra and see how it feels. You can also use custom settings to make the packs 10-11 C, 3 U, 1 R/M if you want.

    The last post was huge, so let's try to narrow it down a bit... Devotion/Mono Hybrids

    Vivid Dreams I wonder if all the new hybrids can bridge this into Devotion Hybrids I'll think more on these ideas. Wanted to put the list together for myself to look at and you guys can give opinions if you'd like to. Multicolor, devotion, and colorless Eldrazi. How else could we mess...

    These are all maybe or higher so that I can reference it later. My power level isn't fully set yet, so there's some variation.

    Probably never? I don't think the elementals deck will be attacking opponents down until later in the game after establishing some control, so the buff seems mid and I feel like spending a card for the ability to ~Evoke cards isn't that good. If I look at the list above, there's not a ton of...

I like Risen Reef a lot and some of the new ones are cool, so let's check it out. No Shriekmaw cus it kills titans easily and no Shatter/Naturalize guy cus they kill mana rocks...

    This whole idea is more of a thought experiment and analysis than an actual cube... So far, at least. I'd probably do 2x of the actual era cards and fill it out if I did that kind of idea, but there's a ton of ways to take it. I think some decks get cool with new cards. Vesuvan Shapeshifter...

    Not a fan of extra rules myself, but everyone having a Wrath, Remand, Bob, Char, and Goyf or something could be a good idea. Lorwyn Eclipsed Spoilers One of the options for capturing the spirit of the format was a mechanical expansion where we use modern cards that serve a similar purpose...
