Although this is probably not a likely way to turn this into something your players are going to like if they're already skeptical; what if we toyed with the idea of squadroning a card like welder or blood artist, but when you draft it you reveal it and skip out on your next pick? This adds some...

That sounds like a cool design space. Is the idea to push multicolor and monocolor with same card?

You actually have a very valid point in that thragtusk isn't going to be played in a as consistently thragtusk-reliant deck as jund midrange or bant control, so maybe the actual times you do get to recur thragtusk it should be seen as something triumphant. I'm not sure at what power level my...

Haha, wow. Writing on the phone is quite something! Yes, if you look at what cards are getting picked last, or get passed to often, maybe those cards could be made more tempting by making them easier to build a deck around. I'm just speculating though, it could just as well be so that your...

I do like the idea of making green card about things dying and filling up the graveyard.

What makes grizzly fate enticing? A nice sort of build around me value card?

Maybe this could be done very per-cube specific? Take some fata on lsst oicks and see if squadroning will make them more valuable picks.

I suppose the question "is it worth duplicating my stormkirl or champion of the parish" depends on whether you support their themes with depth. I'm probably going to end up with a +1/+1 counter theme and human theme as well so I'd rather duplicate those. I think I could double pack cloudfin...

How do you feel about squadroning "weaker" cards like firedrinker satyr?

I like the idea of maybe squadroning goblin welder

Thragtusk seems like that kind of card that is oppressive-ish and gets better or worse depending on the context. Like, if you include Thragtusk, how far do you push reanimator and flicker while still keeping aggro up to speed and feeling like it still a chance? (How fast is aggro, how disruptive?)

I don't know how dedicated you are to the simulation, but are duals/shocks/fetches out of the question in terms of the landbase?

Say what you will of MaRo but he's got a couple of sets under his belt and he makes the same point quite often, better to focus a couple of themes than overload on complexity. People will probably have to navigate and evaluate the cubes contents on the fly anyway, no need to punish those who...

I was more referencing the old junk reanimator deck : )

Jason ran it in tandem with a tezzere theme, so maybe there's a way to work that in? Not necessarily tezzeret but related themes. The lifegain already works with the aforementioned +1/+1 counter theme, with archangel and pridemate. I'm unsure if I'd run more than 2 vault skirges though, possibly...

restoration angel angel of serenity?

I like how life gain often also is an identity WotC likes to push onto white in retail sets but it never really feels that inciting, cubing seems to open up an opportunity for life gain to actually feel fun. I don't feel any particular way towards felidar sovereign, I can see how it sort of...

path of bravery Your gatherer-foo feeling rusty? :) I like it as an anthem version that pushes you into the archetype but still rewards swarmy decks. This and lingering souls leads to some pretty huge life swings. Add in a vault of the archangel and suddenly; this pod racing. The pure lifelink...

Its a cool sacrifice outlet, if not anything else. trash for treasure does anyone have any experience with this card as a sort of tinker or goblin welder variant?

Really, squadroning if done I feel should be done on cards that are close to unplayable as a singleton, ie the post-lands or the tron lands
