Yeah, Deprive is basically a Landfall signpost. "Take this card and you have a cheap counterspell that enables all of your landfall synergies".

OK, look at this beauty: Look at it. If you don't hit a Giant, it's a slow Deliberate. That's already a solid baseline. If you have a Giant in your hand... this basically pays for itself while also shocking your opponent. This is nasty.

I'll honestly say that that's kind of encouraging, depending on the kind of vibes - Yugioh is a game with an interesting mechanical base that was utterly ruined by later design choices. This is something I had initially missed, and it very much makes the mechanic more interesting. To the...

Deprive really wants Mystic Sanctuary

But that second ability is so distracting. :p Oh, and, umm... we got a boring Foretell card last time: EDIT: The Elephant was the boring one. Just to clarify.

I'll be honest, I completely forgot about that +1/+0 to Dwarves. The thing is that her baseline is great (2/1 for 1R that gives other dwarves +1/+0 and makes mana whenever a Dwarf taps), but I'd feel like that flashy final ability is probably going to be really misleading. UG tempo already...

That would require there to be things that we're psyched for. ;) In all seriousness, there are cards that I'm looking forward to messing around with in kitchen table decks. But that'd be a bit off-topic, considering that this is a forum about Cube. EDIT: Like, I'm kinda excited to see Dwarf...

I mean, the Changelings look like they're interesting, at the very least?

Oh, I know. I was just amused that there are three two-drop double-strikers who happen to be Human Soldiers. Swapping a generic mana for a red mana is either +0/+1 or Trample+Vigilance - who knew?

The Vindicator is kinda risky, because it dies to everything before you pump it (other than 1/1s, I guess). On the other hand, even something as simple as tossing a +1/+1 counter on it will make it a legitimate threat. And let's not even talk about giving it Deathtouch... Hmm... Fencing...

I know, right? I don't think it will play nearly as well as Morph. It also doesn't apply the same kind of pressure Adventure or Suspend do - both of those mechanics have little mini-games to them, and Foretell... really doesn't. Who knows, maybe we'll get interesting Foretell cards... but I...

I have two weeks before my classes start up again, so I'm debating about taking a crack at another mini-project. And part of me wants to do a Shard/Wedge minicube - 180 cards that all fall inside one three-color triad. So if I pick Naya (for example), there will be no Black or Blue cards. So...

One thing to consider about Mutate is that it actually works really well with Dash, and that you can basically consider Mutate cards to be weird auras. The thing is, I'd only really call one Mutate card "fun": Parcelbeast EDIT: I feel like I have to qualify this a bit. The problem with...

I have an Oathbreaker deck that uses Reincarnation. It's... alright? Really, the best use for it is more reactive than anything else. You keep the three mana up, and then cast it in response to chump blocking something big and scary, or in response to removal.

Selesnya's pretty easy, and I don't think we really need to get into how to make GW Tokens a thing. Ghired's Belligerence That's how you signal that tokens are also in Red. Not only is it some nice potential removal, you can also use to trade up from Elementals/Saprolings to bigger, scarier...

... OK, why isn't that the Boast legendary creature? That seems way more... characterful than Arni Brokenbrow.

I'm not sure that you're going to have much luck there outside of discard outlets. And the thing is that there isn't much to draw you into White for that.

I said it was a terrible idea. :p And honestly, thinking about it more, I was crossing over some things in my mind — the only real problem with Energy is that it only showed up in two sets, and that we're unlikely to see it again (which kinda limits the usable cards). And yeah, it would be a...

So, I just had another terrible idea for an environment. There are a bunch of problems with both Energy and Poison as mechanics... so what would it look like if we smushed them together? The simplest way of doing this would be to just make Energy and Poison the same exact thing - if you get 10...

I'm looking at this as a first draft, mostly. If it turns out that Red needs more 2s and Blue needs more 3s, I'll make that adjustment. As for the lands... I have no idea what I'm doing there. I'll probably give it another look later.
