I think that's the best method probably. For me the advantage of having guild centered themes is that they lend a guiding hand during the draft. If you're dumb struck ed and really need to commit to a direction to take the draft this very pick it's nice to know that you should try to aim for...

Or dumping terastodon and unburial rites ;)

That sounds pretty reasonable. An instant 2/2 body is a pretty mean combat trick for just a single black mana.

Is there a risk of themes in all 5 colors making it difficult to read signals?

I think that might push it too much but I think I'd prefer the tokens to do the damage? Like two little artifact flame tongue kavus.

So should we start testing out some discard packages? I haven't cubed in a while so proxying up tripple thoughtseize, double kozileks double cabal + persecution could be a starter pack maybe? Sprinkle in a raven's crime, wrench mind, kolaghans command?

I think it gets stuck in the prison category rather than the prowess one? And we've already concluded that prison is kinda rough territory yeah?

A note on synergistic strategies and 2hg. You are drawing 2 cards per turn, so this can mean going through a larger amount of cards. If a combo piece exists so that works with the one combo piece + any one of these others them chances are higher that you find the combo. For example, my friends...

We've stated this before; designing cube environments that borrow from modern and legacy is hard, because how a single card can be such a huge part of the meta of a constructed format but is only ever a single copy in cube. There's only one brainstorm, there's only on thoughtseize etc.

That's tricky. I feel like it's both a matter of having there be enough support to make it worth picking up and building around, but even with support only 1 copy might not be enough to move into that strategy. The best thing is probably to look over that the support exists to make a deck that...

How's blasphemous act?

Doesn't it though? Doesn't active player choose in what order etb goes on the stack? (Also, excellent lists!)

What additional utility?

How would doomed traveller play with something like exalted? As in you staple exalted on the guy.

It seems pretty flexible! I'm kinda intrigued by giving the low cmc decks more fun ways to recurr, and that guy seems to be that kind of tricky card. Worst case scenario is a 4 point life swing for 2 mana, which seems okay. Would the deck that runs this have time to get bodies to sack and recurr...

Is sadist good enough outside of that really cool interaction?

I think a pretty good rule of thumb is to answer the question "Does this card open up room for interesting decks while simultaneously being very unique in the magic pool at large?". The more true it is the more you can justify breaking singleton. See our double fetch experiment or doubling up on...

I think radiant depends on what you want out of the format since it by definition of the rules caps out at 3. As far as I know it caps out at 3 since you can't spend mana when it's done and payed.

No an actual example of what the deck would look like. I feel like it would be easier to judge the considerations if we have a reference.

Shriekmaw that can go to face sounds pretty mean.
