    Supporting all 10 guilds in a set (or in a cube) has some serious problems if you're pushing a gold theme. For one, if everyone's in a different guild, there's no competition for the gold cards. Also, each guild demands a threshold of cards in its colors to really feel supported, which means...

    I think Crawler is comparable in power to Basalt Monolith, which brings it into GRBS territory for many cubes here.

    Really? You have look-at-me-I-can-do-lifegain-and-wraths-in-a-million-different-ways Orzhov and sleep-indu-snoooooooore.... Azorius that high? I agree on Selesnya though, but there's no way I can axe it from my cube without giving up Grixis, a.k.a. the bestest shard in existence, a.k.a. Nicol...

    The fact that he's 3 mana with such a strong minus ability worries me a bit. At four mana he would likely have been fine, but you're hardly giving your opponent the time to mount an offense to get him on the table. He looks pretty oppressive with value 2-drop artifacts as well. I do like that...

    White and black have quite some overlap, lifegain, pinpoint removal, wrath effects, and lately high defense creatures (which WotC introduced to separate black from red). These are all things a blue-based control deck is interested in, so naturally the two color pairs feel somewhat alike. The...

    You are not wrong, but the fact that they have found satisfying ways to connect blue to red and black to green, and have so far failed to do that at least for RG, and arguably for UB, is an indicator for a possibly more optimal color wheel. I did find skulk a satisfying keyword for the {u/b}...

    I like that he gave an answer, but none of the stuff in his answer is an objective argument against switching black and red around. Of course you can't "just" switch them around, the color wheel is carefully crafted after all. That doesn't mean it couldn't, or yes, even shouldn't be done though...

    I agree. Someone must have brought the idea up though, right? I mean, it isn't that out of the box?

    That depends a bit on the size of your cube I'ld say. And your themes as well. Glimmer of Genius certainly is a card as well and sits in the same {3}{U} instant card draw slot. As does Gifts Ungiven by the way!

    I replaced Fact or Fiction with Fortune's Favor, which is a good card drawing spell with hilarious gameplay too it :)

    Damn, they only included three of the painlands. Why? They look so sweet with the new colorless mana symbol! Ash Barrens looks super sweet though!
