90?! A typical Battle of Wits deck runs 250 cards, because you have to both draw the enchantment and still have 200 cards left. You're never going to draft more than 45 nonland cards, and your mana is going to be hell if you don't pick up any fixing, so 45 is honestly unrealistic. So, that means...

I've been testing the MDFC lands, and they have been magnificent for me. I echo Train's thoughts on them!

Day9 is a gem

Oh, I wasn't trying to imply that :) I'm just marveling at the influx of people :)

It's crazy this is already the second post that equals (and in this case even exceeds) the nr. 1 of last year, and March hasn't even ended! We're off to the races here! I can't even be mad this overtook me for the tentative nr.1 spot for 2021 :D

It's also the only apprentice that literally does nothing on its own when you trigger it. Such a weird design. How many spirits can you realistically draft, really? Seems pretty poisonous to me.

My opponent (in Standard) played an E.T.C. God of Metal, accompanied by a heartfelt 'Well played', against me today, ready to combo for the win...

I'm with you Chris! That flavor text is gold :)

This Omnath is very powerful when the manabase of your cube can support it! Right of the bath, the p/t to cmc (sorry) mv ratio is reasonable. For the number of colors required, it better have a good upside though. Well, imagine casting this t4 off of a mana dork or some ramp spell and following...

Potentially better than they seem. A 2/1 that cantrips would be great for 1W, and it has a decent floor as an etb rummage. I'm with Train on this one,

This is going to be wild.

There's a site that lists the commonly used rules, but I'll summarize. A battlebox typically consists of 200 handpicked nonland cards and two sets of 10 lands, usually 5 basics and 5 allied taplands (e.g. Azorius Guildgate). Each player takes a portion of the battlebox at random as their...

This seems great for something like Commander, where you can build around it, but not so much for Cube.

Battlebox is such a sweet format :)

Sure! I think you could take some inspiration from existing cards :) Darksteel Reactor, for example, seems like a pretty fun card to tweak into an avatar: Darksteel Victory Emblem - Objective Nonartifact spells you cast cost {1} more to cast. At the beginning of your upkeep, put a charge...

I considered devotion before I gave my own answer, but the problem is it excludes instants and sorceries. So for example, "devotion:uuu" does find Cast Through Time, but it doesn't find Archmage's Charm. Another problem is that "devotion:uuu" also finds something like Dominus of Fealty, which...

I feel the art style is fine, but it doesn't the mechanics of the card well. This spell deals more damage the more creatures you control, so I would expect a pride hunting, not a solitary lion. Edit: Maybe one of these...

https://luckypaper.co/articles/an-introduction-to-the-degenerate-micro-cube/ Just wanted to drop this here, because it sounds like something you would like :)

I have a few ideas!

There isn't. The best you are going to be able to do is a series of searches: cmc=3 c>0 mana>0 -mana>1 -mana>2 cmc=4 c>0 mana>1 -mana>2 -mana>3 cmc=5 c>0 mana>2 -mana>3 -mana>4 cmc=6 c>0 mana>3 -mana>4 -mana>5 And so forth. (Technically the "mana>0" bit isn't needed for the cmc=3 search pattern...
