Cube Miss Of The Year Last year was a pretty rough one, so I didn't actually get around to any real cubing. Might try to change that in the coming year.

I'm honestly not surprised — people like contests! Remember how well the "make a 360 with only 100 unique cards" contest went a few years ago.

I'll admit, the fun part of this contest is seeing what kind of things people think are balanced/fun designs. It's different for everyone!

Which also supports this dumb "archetype": Countryside Crusher

Planar Birth Mana Seism Nahiri's Lithoforming Elvish Reclaimer Natural Balance Knight of the Reliquary Ruination Rioter A few payoffs for dumping lands into the graveyard, some fun ways to bounce back from sacrificing your lands (OK, you could use Splendid Reclamation as your "these lands are...

The Tainted cycle bothers me, because I want there to be a mono-black member... but I think those are called "Swamps".

What about... Crumbling Vestige Guildless Commons?

Yeah... the original card is pretty bad, but I'd say that the Alchemy card should probably be a 0/4 for {1}{U}?

I mean, the minimum cost to do tricks with it would be {2}{U}{U} (evasive attacker → ninj in Moon-Circuit Hacker for the saboteur trigger → ninj in Moonsnare Specialist to bounce something), and that uses up a lot of mana that most Ninja-y decks I can think of would prefer to spend on...

Yeah, I'd just stick with Mistblade Shinobi Paying {2} more for +1/+1 is... yeah. I like the other two, though! Covert Technician is pretty cool in my opinion, but I don't think it really fits the CCC (though I'm eyeing the way it works with Epochrasite...)

If you're willing to consider some more out-there options: Carrionette Tectonic Instability Storage Matrix War's Toll And, of course, there's this thing if you hate fun: Daze

Shrine of Burning Rage, maybe?

Has anyone been keeping track of what guilds have gotten mechanics so far? I don't think anyone's posted anything for Selesnya or Dimir. ... New Selesnyan Mechanic — Worldsoul (As you cast this spell, you may tap two untapped creature tokens you control. If you do, copy this spell.) Moment of...

Hmm... Roar of the Wurm is 12 power for {9}{G}{G} (11), Beast Attack is 8 flash power for {4}{G}{G}{G}{G}{G}{G} (10), Grizzly Fate is between 8 and 16 power for {8}{G}{G}{G}{G} (12) ... and Rise of the Ants is 12 power and 4 life for {10}{G}{G}{G}{G} (14). Boy howdy, gaining 4 life is totally...

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be the Bear Dude's name.

To be fair, I also came up with "what if the Gruul do stuff if you deal excess damage?" as a mechanic — they aren't a terribly deep guild in terms of what they want to do (It's "play the platonic ideal of creature-based midrange, where your creatures are bigger than their creatures", by the way...

I mean, Commanding Soloist has two options on your turn: 1) You play it, then repeatedly flicker it and scry 2 until your deck is in the order you want, then break the loop by having it come in as a 4/2. 2) Like #1, except you flicker another creature instead of making it a 4/2.

Yeah, Radiance is definitely one of those mechanics that primarily sucks because it was put on cards that are absolute garbage.

Eh, ideas are a dime a dozen — implementation is what counts.

I had a similar thought, but apparently my brain only wants to think of dumb counter-based mechanics, which is kinda boring to spread out to all ten guilds (though doing something with Finality counters might be interesting for Orzhov...)
