If we don't stick to our book keeping system, we are no better than the savages than inhabit MTGS.

Yes, you are both right. So in that case, what if instead of Drogskol Cavalry, I went with one of the following: Angelic SkirmisherAngelic ArbiterArchangel of StrifeCaptain of the WatchBruna, the Fading Light Which one of those do you guys like best?

Yes that is a good point. Overall I think a few of those creatures are likely on their way out. I am slowly but surely trying to take the top end off my power band to narrow it a bit. So what I am saying is I want to create an environment where a card like Drogskol Cavalary can be viable (though...

With Drogskol Cavalry on the board, Promise of Bunrei has to feel like the white equivalent of Standstill to your opponent.

Or Promise of Bunrei

Thanks for all the input. I ended up going with: Soul of Theros because I felt it fulfilled the role that I wanted Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite to fill by being a strong finisher for the "go wide" theme but in a much fairer manner. Additionally I liked that it could still be valuable if...

I agree. They do not necessarily mean that.

This is obviously a matter of opinion. And I was speaking from a relative sense. All things being equal, there is more variety in a 540 card cube than a 360 card cube. This may be what some people talk about when they mean variety. "How quickly can a meta be solved" is one factor to consider...

Yeah. I understand the trade offs involved with making your cube bigger. I have read, with interest, the discussions involving that topic on this board before. I know many people have the design philosophy where consistency is king. A consistent cube will definitely make for a more...

Taking Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite out of my cube because it's really unfun. Looking for a white cmc 6+ creature that is fun/interesting to replace it with. Any ideas?

Thought Courier because he is a human and a wizard. EDIT: Though I now realize most people probably support Merfolk over Wizards, so nvm.

Ok I went ahead and uploaded what I had to cubetutor and added it to my signature. Keep in mind it is still in the draft stage (it is 568 cards now and I am in the process of cutting it down to 540). Would love feedback but please be gentle :)

Yes I am working on it. I am in the process of an overhaul and as soon as it is done I will add it to cubetutor and also create a thread in the "cube blog" section and add the cubetutor link to my signature. These are all good points. It sounds like it is at least worth running both if not...

Thanks for all the input. I basically was leaning away from the Archangel the way many of you have suggested. Great card, but so powerful. And I am really trying to narrow my powerband and remove faceroll-pick cards like the Archangel. I was also leaning away from the drover and toward...

And also: Ojutai ExemplarsvsSublime Archangel

I'm doing a big cube update so hopefully it is cool if I post a bunch of fights? Twilight DrovervsMentor of the Meek

I guess what I’m saying is more like...opportunity cost? Like of course adding cycling to any card, all things equal, will make it strictly a better card. But I guess I’m talking more in the consideration of comparing Miscalculation to, say Mana Leak. Seems like you trade off the power of the...

Yeah, maybe

Cycling seems like a weird thing to want on a counterspell.

I just spent like two weeks reading this whole thread from the beginning. Good stuff. Now I guess I should go read the whole “Single Card Spotlight” thread.
