My original idea was the battlefield, because I feel like that's more interesting? Sac outlets suddenly become more interesting for everyone, and Kaervek's Spite is suddenly an awesome way to finish out a game.

Really stupid idea: cube draft, but after the game is done you shuffle villain's battlefield into your library (and vice-versa).

Burnout Bashtronaut :p More seriously, Goblin Blast-Runner Goblin Bushwhacker Rigging Runner

I'm also intrigued by this thing. Mostly because it's so much cleaner than Thran Portal

Most of the good ones have been posted so far, but... Archfiend's Vessel Breathless Knight Kotis, Sibsig Champion Epochrasite There's also some shenanigans you can do with chaining reanimations: Brotherhood Outcast Extraction Specialist Valgavoth's Faithful (Valgavoth's Faithful is...

I hate how they're in the absolutely hideous Arena frame. A cherry on top of this frustrating sundae. That said, I like quite a few of the rethemings, so I might have to see if I can finagle some of them into decent-looking proxies.

I mostly agree... with the weird caveat that I think I'd 100% love the card if it was a post in the custom magic thread. There's just something about a west coast company making a "New Yorkers are proud of their bagels" reference due to frickin' Spiderman that ruins it for me. More loosely...

Repentance getting a glow-up, I see! On a similar note, I kinda wish that they gave White non-pariah damage redirection more often. Harm's Way is a cool card, and I'd be intrigued to see what a modern version of Zhalfirin Crusader or Aegis of Honor would look like. It's still more-or-less in...

I think it's a good thing because it helps remind new players that you really should be holding up mana for your second main phase.

Any reason why you're not considering my favorite Nissa? Nissa, Voice of Zendikar

I feel personally attacked. :btg:

The thing is that I like Imposing Sovereign (mostly due to nostalgia) and don't care one whit about Spider-Woman. Who the fuck is this lady? What's a "venom blast", and why is it represented by tapping stuff down as it comes into play? It'd be great if there was anything to tie that together...

This is a pretty cool idea! I do think that you're going to be limited to two-player drafts if you're treating it like a desert cube, because you'd need at least ten more lands for a three player draft unless the curve is really low (and that's not going to be the case with an EDH deck).

To be fair, "Languish is a cheaper Wildfire without the land destruction" is a neat way of looking at the card. I don't think it's strong enough to create that deck by itself (Wildfire putting everyone back four lands is pretty key to the archetype working), but Wildfire is a bit of a special...

Some additional cute options in that 4/5 slot: Essence Pulse Yahenni's Expertise Night Incarnate

Clearly the solution to the "no-one would want to cast the first AK" is Dwarven Shrine :p This list is missing some cards with real scaling potential: Faerie Miscreant Whisper Squad Dash Hopes Vexing Devil Stomping Slabs Growth-Chamber Guardian Sound the Call Myr Servitor (I feel like...

Some of you have never tried to cube with Disciple of Deceit and it shows.

Yeah, the choice between Guardian and Kraken is going to be almost entirely based on the power level of your format. An evasive 4/5 for {3}{U}{U} is so much stronger than a 5/6 for {4}{U}{U} that the comparison isn't really fair. So it really comes down to "what do your other 5/6 drops look like?"

Yeah, I want to say that Massacre Wurm was definitely on the GRBS list back in the day. But hey, look at these 6-mana buddies: Arbiter of Woe Goremand Also, at varying power levels: Eternal Dragon Mirrorshell Crab Agonasaur Rex Krosan Tusker Colossal Skyturtle

The idea was that you'd have a little bit of the macroarchetypes in their "off" colors (kinda like how ZKR has at least one card of each Party type in each color). So (to give a bit of a silly example) a player on a {B/R} sac deck might splash into green because they drafted Heaped Harvest...
