Hmm.. I am very tempted by some Ninjas, but these have the same anti-synergy with Morbid that Bloodthirst did. Maybe we turn it into a color-identity thing? Jund Morbid, Blue(ish) Ninjas?

Mox Diamond gets a lot of play, particularly out of decks that can benefit from the tempo boost of a 2-mana Turn 1 play. Say, a deck playing super high-impact stuff like Stoneforge and Bitterblossom. It also combines frequently with Life from the Loam and Crucible of Worlds decks. Often-times...

I have all three of the red sweepers you mentioned in the file. I wouldn't play Liliana in a regular cube, but this one will be a bit slower with more of a ramp emphasis. It also has a land-types matters domain theme, so Liliana checks both boxes. I will keep an eye on Ajani though. He never...

I play Augur nearly every opportunity I get. It gets on board early, holds back 2/1 attackers, and I seem to hit with it around 80% of the time. Perhaps I've just been lucky though. Anyways, players were always asking for more three-toughness two-drops in their control decks, and Augur turned...

I don't really view mana rocks as an essential part of my design. I run a few, but each one tips the balance towards midrange / control. For reference, my cube contains: Mox Diamond Sphere of the Suns Coalition Relic Mind Stone Coldsteel Heart Everflowing Chalice

Planned planeswalkers of the set. Very open to suggestions though. Devour (yay!) plus board wipe. Perfect for our blue domain home. Possible proliferate target (plus anti-ramp card). Intersection between proliferate and all of our fetchlands. Eldrazi token quest. Black...

More ludicrous ideas: I'm guessing this card should not be in a set with Stoneforge Mystic? I'm having a hard time deciding which of these ideas are super sweet and which are super broken.

So, this guy? The file has a ton of changes, if anyone is interested. Still trying to figure out the overall power level. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkmGq9EqXDoidDFneWw2MEVRRFd2RVl4T3RRYkU2S0E#gid=0

I currently have in my file 3 Nest Invader's. The average ROE draft would have 2.4 copies, so this feels like pushing it already, but maybe 4 is good. I am fine with pushing it harder, just have to remember that the more I push the threats the more I need to push the answers. Also need to be...

I ran Sunlance until I cut down to 360. It's definitely a useful card.

Hi Chris, sorry to hear about your pet. As I write this I have a dog sitting in my lap. My condolences. Regarding Riptide Laboratory, I don't think I would include it in my main cube. Even with the utility draft thing it only gets played every 3 or 4 drafts. In that sense, lands like this were...

After grid-drafting your set, the biggest comments I would have is that it didn't feel like there were enough colors picking up the aggro slack where red was missing out. It also felt like the most successful approaches were to take expensive evasive bombs (Kaiga, Drogskol Reaver, Wolfir...

Any thought into including a land like Ancient Tomb in there? It seems like one could almost build an entirely colorless deck out of those cards.

I can't imagine Renounce the Guilds being very good in a regular set. Most cubes are running at fewer than 10% multicolor cards, and even fewer of those are permanents. Nivix Cyclops eh? It's a bit of a neat card, especially considering they wouldn't print a straight 4/4 in 1UR the way they do...

Okay, so let me (for my own sake) try to see what we have here to get a feel for the lay of the land: Black Red Green - Eldrazi Spawn Tokens Green White - Populate White Red - Battalion (not very fleshed out yet) Black Green red - Morbid Blue Green - Evolve Blue X - Proliferate Black - Swamps...

Altar's Reap! Exactly the card I need for my new cube project!

Snap call: Is this card totally awesome or totally OP for a multicolor Eldrazi cube?

Great post Calvin! I like the Nephilim, but don't know how much space I'll have for 3+ color cards. Love the Civic Sabre tech. That's really the perfect card here. I was looking for an "protect all my creatures" card for white, and Rootborn Defenses slots in oh so well. How has Doubling...

My cube is a little nutty at the moment, but here are some favorites that are off the beaten path:

Next idea: Now, how do we get these guys online in an aggro deck? Hybrids! Along with scattered 1-drop hybrids of sets past. I was trying to find a nice identity for some of the color pairs, and I really like the idea of having a proliferate subtheme. It plays well with several...
