Speaking personally, I am not against multiple Confidants, but it's never felt like an effect I needed multiples of. It's not that black two drops suck necessarily, but more that the ones that don't suck aren't human. I could see the argument for it (interacts with Champions and Brainstorms...

Well, in my post I wrote that "most the cards in your cube should be...", and I stand by that. I don't think having a couple cards like Hardened Scales is bad, but the more we include, the more we start to "pre-build" the deck for the drafter. Since nobody else wants them, they're guaranteed to...

Yeah, I can see it's value as kind of a "first step" in thinking about what you want for your design. A first draft before dozens of revisions set in. Many of my archetype design (personally) comes from finding a cool "build-around" and stuffing the cube with as many non-narrow interaction...

Flagstones of Trokair Flagstones has almost no drawback. It's targettable by Wasteland, but even this doesn't seem advantageous for your opponent. But how can we get any value out of it? Edge of Autum Harrow Mostly while ramping. Harrow and Edge of Autumn go into overdrive with Flagstones...

I'm going to be honest, I kind of hate this idea. There are so many cube threads that start out with a list of what they want each guild to do, but, it feels kind of heavy handed. Whenever I implement an archetype, I want it to spread into as many colors as possible, usually with some sort of...

Combat tricks rarely work their way into constructed, in large part because they are inherently situational. They have to be applied in a setting where there are attackers and blockers, where a mid-combat spell can trump the opponent somehow. Compare this to an unconditional Swords to Plowshares...

I will test Chief of the Edge. I don't really see most of these others fitting into my list unfortunately.

Speaking of Harrow, do we have any other effects that interact favorably with Flagstones of Trokair?

I haven't looked too closely at the submissions yet, just running cards I want to try out.

I have that card too. Keep yours :)

I would say, don't run it, it's a win more. Imagine their best creature is a 5/5 and yours is a 4/4. You can wipe things away but they'll still be left with a 5/5 against your 4/4. There are situations where this is good, but it's precisely that: situational. I wouldn't see myself including...

Have recent printings helped this archetype out at all?

If you cast this and it doesn't wipe their board, then you're still behind on board.

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who's entered information into the spreadsheet so far. We got around 100 tickets worth of cards pledged today, and it's looking like this project will soon become a reality.

Wait, why do we want to sac Frost Walker?

I guess... of those cards the only one I have in my current cube is New Liliana. I could see an environment, but we'd really have to go all-in on cards that require death, and then we start to partition our design space a bit too much for my liking. You say you could probably go on. Please...

By repeated sac-outlet, you mean, sac a creature, bounce sidisi's faithful, right? Other than Blood Artist and threaten effects, how are we getting value out of that in Cube?

Scars limited was such a fair format.

I hope somebody, somewhere has vialed in a Sunblast Angel in response to somebody's alpha strike.
