I think I'll give the guy sitting in a tree a chance first. Being snowbally is a downside for me indeed, but I don't have the simic spot for Investigation.

I agree with Sigh and would go even further. Imo gold cards should be allowed to be more narrow sometimes than monocolored ones, and I'll explain you why I am not joining the choir of "gold cards need to be super flexible, as they are already more narrow by nature". Ajani's Pridemate Indulging...

Rally the Peasants has to be my favorite boros aggro gold sign post, and as it is usually the last spell (or the two last spells) you cast, it is easily splashable either way. That doesn't solve the problem if the fixing isn't good enough though. One thing that helps further are these lands...

I love this idea for limited, will be really cool to have another exciting slot in each pack you open and then have a demonic tutor or StP in your draft pool. Usually I'm also a sucker for sweet alternate frames, but heeere ... I thinks it's mostly the bright yellow elements that are putting me...

Okay, before we derail - well, actually I love it when we are derailing - but I have another fight club looking for a winner, and I can't really decide it alone right now: Tandem Lookout Reconnaissance Mission I like the Lookout's cheap, splashable cost and that it is a creature itself...

Well, it's not like people are never tapping out, right? I wouldn't want to have a bunch of doomblade variants around, but a Murder or two alongside Mire's Grasp and Sever the Bloodline should be fine.

My favorite has to be this one. In fact, it has become one of my favorite magic cards in existence: I just hope we will get this very same showcase frame whenever they return adventures. Magic cards weren't so beautiful in 17 years, maybe ever, imho. Which makes me happy to announce...

I think Prankster is stronger actually. The damage stack up quickly and the biggest difference imo is, that the devil triggers from tokens dying. I think Anax is cooler/more fun however, but if you're high in power level, go with Prankster I'd say. I have another red fight club: Mogis's...

Nice self-sufficient tribal card you got there. It is a really sweet lower powered 5-drop as well and I like that it opens up for different synergies. It works with: heroic, enchantments matter, blinking or bouncing (enchantments or permanents), enchantment recursion, tokens, ferocious (power...

I just wanted to add, that I really enjoyed the discussion the last few pages! Likes for everyone! One thing I can maybe add is: I am really glad, that we as cube designers always have full control over power creep within our own format. I think you all know, that a fun environment can differ...

Oops, okay, makes sense. Can I see your cube somewhere?

I would add generic aggro/control pieces without making it one of your five core archrtypes. Another idea for non-green would be spell velocity. Whenever you cast a spel/cast your second spell/cast a noncreature spell-effects are plenty in those colors. You have bounce, flashback, adventures...

Yeah, you two are probably right. It's not worth the risk I guess. From cards that are most likely too good, let me switch to cards which might be too much for low power levels. Rampaging Baloths While Sporemound is for sure among my weaker 5-drops, both landfall and token decks play it for...

Okay, I have another lesser known, colorless archetype support card, that I want to talk about. This one supports blink, landfall and can reset sagas or Demonic Pact. All while - hopefully - disrupting the opponent, who build a not nearly as synergistic deck for it. Maybe it even works as an...

I'm looking for a blue 6-drop control finisher that is resilient while still fitting to my pretty low power level. Which of these do you ike more? Ephemeron Geralf's Mindcrusher Ephemeron has been fine in the past, but unexciting barring the one time I won with it's activated ability + Drake...

While Fumigate is slightly worse, I'm not a fan. A friend cubed this for a while, and it just closed the door completely for aggro. Often, after a wrath, aggro can still hope to burn the opponent out or stick an evasive threat for the last few points of life. That <10% chance keeps the game...

Geier Reach Sanitarium Is this good? Can you throw this into most decks with a great mana base (or monocolored ones) or does it need quite a few discard/graveyard synergies first?

Oh, there is one more I haven't seen here and it's enabler and payoff in one, just not really interesting outside it's home strategy Splinterfright

I think this is better than most 2/1s, depending on the environment. How relevant is 3 toughness against potential blockers? How many lands do your aggro decks play? Do you run fetches? How much damage needs a 1-drop to deal to be good? I think even without fetches it is a solid creature, as...

But why are you listing the Steel Hellkite? It's ability only works with combat damage, so you can't activate it after using sarkhans -4.
