So, there are some pretty cute designs in the Jumpstart packs...

Idle thought: I wonder how Roles will affect the cubeability of these classics? Infiltrator's Magemark Necromancer's Magemark

Diabolic Servitude also costs {3}{B} rather than {2}{B}, so it is forbidden.

OK, you have my attention.

Wait a second: One With Nothing

Legitimate question: why Gaia's Blessing and not Dwell in the Past/Serene Remembrance? Especially since you said you wanted attrition to be a thing?

Hall of Tagsin

I honestly hadn't considered the fact that it doesn't have the normal "this can't reduce the cost below {1}" limit you see on abilities. The storage land cycle also comes to mind: Calciform Pools Dreadship Reef Molten Slagheap Fungal Reaches Saltcrusted Steppe

Werefox Bodyguard is honestly pretty sick because it's both a Fiend Hunter with flash and a way to protect your own creatures (flash it in in response to a removal spell, flicker the target, sac it for life and to bring the target back).

That is one of the reasons why I've not designed the cube yet, yes.

A really dumb idea that I've not been able to make anything out of (mostly because my cubing brain hasn't worked properly in a while): Both players start with (10, maybe?) life and the following: Convalescent Care Knight of Dawn's Light Convalescent Care is an emblem. The Knight's just a dude...

I like it, and I like how it completely transforms some other cards: Reprieve Unsubstantiate

Now my brain is wondering what else you could share. An idea that sounds dumb but might be kinda neat would be sharing a single life total. Bring back the rule that you only die if you have 0 life at the end of a phase (instead of immediately dying when you hit 0), and you might have something...

Also, like... Scalding Viper // Steam Clean Dang it, WotC, stop giving my 2-3-7 cubes intriguing cards!

For anyone who doesn't recognize a lot of the fairy tales, it's because quite a few of them are a bit more obscure. Like, Hylda is literally the Snow Queen.

I'm glad that a bunch of the goldventures fit into a 2-3-7 cube so far, I guess? More gold cards that you don't need to play as gold cards is always a good thing in my book.

I just want a card that's a dude that got turned into a werewolf by his wife, but, like, it's not a big deal? (For anyone who doesn't know: Sir Marrok is a knight mentioned in passing who got turned into a werewolf for seven years by his wife. It was probably a reference to the Lay of Melion...

If you told me Whirlpool Whelm was specifically designed for a shared deck format, I'd believe you. :p Some other kinda interesting cards: Index Bamboozle Hinder Descendant of Soramaro Dimir Machinations Agonizing Memories Orcish Librarian Countryside Crusher Trail of Crumbs Recross the Paths...

On a different note, I rather like the look of Trippin', a shared deck format by the same person who apparently came up with Forgetful Fish. I get the sense that he likes mindscrew formats. :p

Yeah, at that point you're effectively playing the following game (sorry for sloppy math - it's been a long day): A 40-card control deck with 8 blank cards, 18 lands (8 of them being taplands), and 14 spells, vs. A 40-card control deck with 18 blank cards, 8 lands (all of them taplands), and 14...
