curse of predation curse of shallow graves Surprised these haven't been mentioned already! Depending on how the cube looks, I think argothian enchantress, eidolon of blossoms and academy rector are fine as enchantress support. When you move down to lower powered formats I think you can do more...

I think the upside of actually constricting yourself to these rules, is that it gives a feeling and strategic depth to the format, because you can start to think around what kind of creature your opponent's morphed. In KTK, there was a kind of race of who could flip up a morph first just because...

I was humouring my self with the idea of morph cubes, and I think a big thing I think you need to decide on is what turns people should do what. Do you want the same tempo as in tarkir draft, with morphs turn three and unmorphs turn five? What body sizes do you want at different cmc's? I think...

Maybe you could word it like "as long as ~ doesn't have a +1/+1 counter on it, it has shroud" just for clarity? Otherwise, I like the initiative to complete cycles and fill in holes wotc hasn't.

Rector so far has been amazing, so I'm running that more incidentally as a sac support. Cathar is probably the weak link, but I'm surprised you don't like doomed traveler. I've seen it ran in much higher powered lists. I know CML has sung its praise. In regards to the townsfolk, maybe I can...

I was more so thinking of the ability to play sacrifice decks and token decks with the same cards, but probably I can just run raise the alarm and some other 2-3 cmc token maker (I count spectral as a 2WW card) For reference these are the sacdeck-support I'm considering in white (not counting...

I've never said the townsfolks were specifically for the champion, but I get your point. I'll keep my eyes on them. I felt like they'd serve an intersection between the human themes and the token themes, feeding different decks. I'll see if I have other options to consider as well though.

Have you ran any other effects than assault strobe? I haven't had a chance to play any of this, so the UB delver is just a hypothesis. I was thinking of running triple gather the townsfolk but now I'm wondering if that is even necessary.

So I went and looked at how each combination of one drops could give me ideas on how the color pairs play out, so that the themes I give them guides you towards a position where either color's one drop looks inciting. I've been trying to be mindful of things like champion of the parish and...

profaner of the dead silumgar sorcerer Anyone tried any of these? Had any success?

That sounds fair, I can probably let the total equilibrium of the color pairs rest a bit and just live with the fact that blue and green won't really have the same kind of proactive plans, so that I can get completely suprised when some players just goes and 3-0's a UGx aggro deck.

No, I'm convinced its ham handed but I'm sort of sticking to formula. I was originally just going to run 2 raptors, but when I looked at some of the pairs I just didn't find an easy out like UR and WU, where tokens help glue together the delver and other respective one drops. I felt like a deck...

Yeah, I'll try to be wary of that. I'm thinking that by making these 3-offs that showcase what the color partially cares about, drafting a "sweet deck" should naturally lean you towards also being interested in the one drops. My hypothesis is that if for instance black does a bunch of sweet...

deadly recluse There's your answer :p But maybe you could add more reach-granting combat tricks kind of like spidery grasp? Or what colors do you imagine will have troubles with a bunch of superman decks?

I'm more moving numbers around, since this doesn't really change the number of one drops just changes what one drops I'm running. I like the idea of doubling up on some hybrid color beaters though. The question I'm trying to answer right now is what does proactive decks do in this cube and when...

So I got a suggestion to just revamp the cube completely and declaw control, to give players breathing room while plying thematic aggro decks. I'm essentially forcing out a aggro 3-0 deck, so that I can re add stuff like finks and Thragtusk and Toxic Deluge. My aggro suite is also going to be...

And why should it even matter, as long as the ideas hold value.

It isnt; but I like the a idea of proactive blue decks
