I'm also not seeing how Shigeki is a discard outlet — it's 100% a discard/self-mill payoff, though.

I'm excited for Kicker. I will be very salty if none of the new Kicker cards are 2-drops or 3-drops, though.

Do any of the other Incarnations (other than Genesis) ever see inclusion in people's cubes?

That's the main reason I suggested it as a design experiment, and not, like, your main cube. That said... I'm pretty sure that you could get reasonably-complete cubes with just White or Green at this point, with Blue, Black, and Red needing a bit of extra design consideration. Actually, White...

I was actually going to suggest that... but making it mono-colored also makes it very obvious to drafters that everything is playable. Like, you might rationally know that you can, say, always curve Counterspell into Benalish Marshal... but it's not going to be as immediate as seeing that you...

So, this is going to sound like one of my normal, shitpost-y ideas, but... I feel like everyone should take a crack at building a mono-colored cube at some point, even if it's just a quick, probably-unplayable rough sketch of an idea. Because then you, as a designer, have to deal with the issue...

Vile Redeemer, tho. Also... Champion of Lambholt Evolutionary Leap Primal Growth EDIT: Oh, right, how could I forget the best sac fodder in Green? Veteran Explorer

To be fair, I'm fine with this. (Granted, I'm probably the only person 'round these parts who prefers the kind of slow environment where taplands don't matter that much...)

I honestly wonder if "16 card packs, two of those cards are Cryptic Spires" would be a good way of handling fixing?

I'm just going to chalk my bafflement down as "my brain doesn't process stuff properly", because apparently the fact that my brain processes cards in this rough order (with stuff in brackets happening roughly simultaneously)... is really weird. Yes, before you ask... alternate frame...

I mean, clearly the RG Prowess signpost should be Wort, the Raidmother (OK, probably a powered-up custom, but still.)

I legitimately don't get how people have problems seeing the artifact and enchantment creature frames they used in NEO. Do these somehow look identical to you? Blade-Blizzard Kitsune Golden-Tail Disciple Hotshot Mechanic EDIT: Like, going through the set on Scryfall, I can maybe see...

No love for Shefet Monitor? Good. As much as I love Tusker... I think Tanuki is a better inclusion if Natural Connection is worth casting in your environment, simply because the body is so much better. Vulpine Goliath isn't embarrassing to cast, while Tusker never really feels good to play as a...

As someone who missed the start of this thread due to moving and decided to check it out because, hey, I know a bunch of dumb magic cards and could probably make up some fun puzzles... It was really fucking annoying to see that we've already gotten to the point of "the card has something in...

Word of warning: this is me talking out of my ass... so take everything here with a grain of salt. Storm (or, at least, a deck that looks like Storm) is traditionally a REALLY hard archetype to support in Cube. And it's not hard to see why — it's effectively a "cantrip and rituals" tribal deck...

Yeah, the issue with Storm is that it's an all-in combo archetype. It's kinda like trying to support Tribal, but the tribe in question is kinda useless otherwise. It's not that I don't think you can support it, but you'd need to do a lot more than just tossing a card or two into your cube...

Flatterer :p

I'm in a similar camp when it comes to tutors — they're a necessary evil for some combo decks (especially in constructed), but they do cut down on diversity in play. That said, may I suggest... Disciple of Deceit? ... Though, on the topic of restrictive tutors... part of me really wants to...

Tazeem Roilmage :p (In all seriousness, probably the Saga.)

Dragon Broodmother? Probably a bit too slow, honestly.
