Werefox Bodyguard is honestly pretty sick because it's both a Fiend Hunter with flash and a way to protect your own creatures (flash it in in response to a removal spell, flicker the target, sac it for life and to bring the target back).

That is one of the reasons why I've not designed the cube yet, yes.

A really dumb idea that I've not been able to make anything out of (mostly because my cubing brain hasn't worked properly in a while): Both players start with (10, maybe?) life and the following: Convalescent Care Knight of Dawn's Light Convalescent Care is an emblem. The Knight's just a dude...

I like it, and I like how it completely transforms some other cards: Reprieve Unsubstantiate

Now my brain is wondering what else you could share. An idea that sounds dumb but might be kinda neat would be sharing a single life total. Bring back the rule that you only die if you have 0 life at the end of a phase (instead of immediately dying when you hit 0), and you might have something...

Also, like... Scalding Viper // Steam Clean Dang it, WotC, stop giving my 2-3-7 cubes intriguing cards!

For anyone who doesn't recognize a lot of the fairy tales, it's because quite a few of them are a bit more obscure. Like, Hylda is literally the Snow Queen.

I'm glad that a bunch of the goldventures fit into a 2-3-7 cube so far, I guess? More gold cards that you don't need to play as gold cards is always a good thing in my book.

I just want a card that's a dude that got turned into a werewolf by his wife, but, like, it's not a big deal? (For anyone who doesn't know: Sir Marrok is a knight mentioned in passing who got turned into a werewolf for seven years by his wife. It was probably a reference to the Lay of Melion...

If you told me Whirlpool Whelm was specifically designed for a shared deck format, I'd believe you. :p Some other kinda interesting cards: Index Bamboozle Hinder Descendant of Soramaro Dimir Machinations Agonizing Memories Orcish Librarian Countryside Crusher Trail of Crumbs Recross the Paths...

On a different note, I rather like the look of Trippin', a shared deck format by the same person who apparently came up with Forgetful Fish. I get the sense that he likes mindscrew formats. :p

Yeah, at that point you're effectively playing the following game (sorry for sloppy math - it's been a long day): A 40-card control deck with 8 blank cards, 18 lands (8 of them being taplands), and 14 spells, vs. A 40-card control deck with 18 blank cards, 8 lands (all of them taplands), and 14...

"I'm not impressed with Pack Rat in high-power cubes lately" sounds to me like a good argument against playing high power cubes. :p

The nuance of using Dandân is that Forgetful Fish also runs cards that exploit the fact that it has Islandhome. Vantress Gargoyle loses that little nuance.

I'm also intrigued by this (and maybe should give it a shot myself? Hmm...) Lammastide Weave and Noxious Revival become really interesting in a shared deck format, since they take on an extra mind-game-y dimension. I also really like the idea of Volrath's Dungeon, because it's super tricksy...

Ooh, how do you set up wolf tribal? And is the fact that it makes wolves when your opponents target it with instants/sorceries something that ever comes up?

Chivalric Alliance gives me Pack Rat vibes... and I'd honestly say that the decks that want it most are going to be control decks (where it's honestly a pretty legit finisher) rather than straight creature decks. Sure, they probably aren't going to be terribly interested in Military...

Velrun, I'm legitimately unsure whether or not you're joking right now, or if you actually don't understand why people are annoyed by how this product was advertised (despite it being explained to you multiple times). Lie back and let the bismuth take you.

For me, a filthy green enjoyer, part of the issue is that most of the green creatures that spring to mind aren't really big beaters (which is ironic, given what the color's supposed to be good at): Llanowar Elves Quirion Ranger Fertilid Sakura-Tribe Elder Tarmogoyf Eternal Witness Wild...

Yeah, Pack Rat's problem is that Plague Rats with Flash is a really solid card in a Rat tribal deck, and Pack Rat makes your deck a Rat tribal deck. It doesn't help that you need a board wipe to deal with it effectively, since any of the tokens can rebuild the entire army. There's a reason that...
