But then the masses wouldn't get to crow about how good it is in EDH!

I think it's hilarious that this block is providing more playable U/G cards than Gatecrash/DGM did.

If you think manabases are bad in Standard atm, think back to SOM-ISD Standard where allied colours had buddy lands + fastlands (passable most of the time, still not great; even in UW Delver with Ponder/Probe/Thought Scour, hitting your secondary colour was difficult sometimes) and enemy colours...

It's clearly a sweet card, but suffers from the same problems as any other card like that i.e. if you took a Cube designed to support him and rigged your Sealed pool, he still wouldn't be reliably good.

Whitemane Lion/Deputy of Acquittals with Ephara?

Sure, but in other formats the effects can often be substituted for other things (or at least, when trying to replicate that play experience in Cube workable replacements can be found). That decklist you saw was just as much a Force of Will deck (and, I imagine, a blue fetchland deck) as your...

Even though it might seem like Vintage is a good model for Cube because of the amount of restricted cards/singletons, the glue that holds decks together are the 4-ofs. Something like Billy's idea is probably necessary.

I don't think I would put a 4GG 12/12 in my Cube.

Cyclonic Rift is glorious.

This is a family website Chris.

Unspeakable Symbol + Kitchen Finks is cool

Stasis never forget

They normally run Scrying Sheets, and having >4 colourless lands is awkward. It's also hard for them to make BTE more than a bear or support other R-heavy permanents. I do want to find an occasion to chain Boros Reckoner into Volcano Hellion though.

Leyline of Vitality?

What would a low-curve, non-aggro colour section look like, particularly for red or white?

Can't believe I forgot about Wayfarer. I'm more sceptical about Martyr though since Nykthos wants you to play to the board while Martyr wants you to keep that stuff in hand.

Poison Principle etc. but a lot of red aggro cards tend to lock you in one direction anyway. There are enough fun Goblins that it might do for red what Zombies does for black. This guy is the 'Gravecrawler': Mogg War MarshalMogg War MarshalMogg War Marshal Good sac outlets: Skirk...

I really want this one to be good: Mogg Infestation

Barkshell Blessing I don't have room for many combat tricks, but access by two colours and scaling make this an interesting one.
