Bladewing's Thrall - Simple, powerful, zombie creature type...what's not to love? I also really like the idea of 3-4 mana recursive creatures for more midrange decks. 10/10 Read the Stars - So clean it's surprising it hasn't been printed already. Force of Necromancy - I personally don't love...

These all seem great to me! Here are some thoughts: - Ambush Wurm/Arrogant Whiptail - perfect imo - Woodland Devourer - too much going on in this card; delve, madness alternate casting, card types. It's just not as clean as your other cards here. For all the hoops that you need to jump...

Ravenous Assimileech is really cool!

My friends, these are awesome.

These are exactly what I was looking for, thank you. We independently came up with Dryad of Masks, and I like a bunch of these.

I'm looking to add custom cards to my graveyard themed cube. I'm curious if anyone has any custom graveyard-centric cards to share. Anything in the graveyard, discard-matters, dredge, madness, cycling, etc. space is great; just as long as it interacts with the graveyard in some way.

That could be a cool way to go. Works with treasure/food/clue tokens.

I've made many updates to the list: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/princesofthemultiverse I've tried to build upon the Rise of the Eldrazi idea of having one-shot mana bursts, based on the Eldrazi spawn. I've expanded that to include treasure tokens, mana rituals, and other, similar effects...

Thanks Brad. I'm hoping to add some copy effects or other spell interaction to make the rituals worth it. So far I just have Chandra's Guantlet and Past in Flames. I'd like to have a low-storm-count storm deck with Dragonstorm and Mind's Desire, where storming for 2-6 would be good.

Very much a work in progress, but I have a first draft up on Cube Cobra. My next task is going to be identifying the cards that are too weak, and cutting those. After that, I will balance the counts per color. In doing that, I'll look to buff up some things I want in there but don't seem to...

So I sketch out a skeleton of what I want the curves to look like for each color, and the percentage creatures. Then I fill the slots and sort of tweak from there. Right now, the cube is in a big spreadsheet with a page for the skeleton, a page for the current contents, and a page for cards...

Oh man, it would be sweet to have a bunch of red rituals and Dragonstorm. The rituals would probably be decent anyway just to ramp into big stuff, especially fatties that etbed to offset the card disadvantage. Definitely doing this. Ok, that's about where I got eyeballing it. Fat...

Yeah, what percentage of the cube should be big creatures do you think?

I think this is a really useful, positive perspective. Having more prints of cards will lower prices, which is good for Magic. Hopefully I can try a draft of this or two if it's not crazy expensive. That's the bummer of these expensive packs for me. They are often really sweet draft sets...

Yeah, all great ideas. I think I'm going to have almost all ramp be 3cmc or more, unless it's limited use, like Pentad Prism or Sphere of the Suns, which will be in artifacts. I'll probably give green some good ramp spells, like Cultivate, which I expect to be very strong, maybe p1p1 level...

That list of cards exemplifies "exciting bombs" to me. Ideally, the power level and design of the cube would be such that cards like these would be p1p1's, that you'd be stoked to have in your pool. But I'm not set on any; japahn just asked for a list. I don't want you to be tripped up by...

I think some fun, powerful, but not broken dragons would be Lyra Dawnbringer, Draining Whelk, Elder Deep-Fiend, Vilis, Broker of Blood, Flameblast Dragon, Ilharg, the Raze-Boar, Kogla, the Titan Ape, Ghalta, Primal Hunger, Golos, Tireless Pilgrim, Cruel Ultimatum, Dragonlord Atarka, and maybe...

Exactly, I'd like to dig into this more though and figure out how best to do that. I think the discussion so far about limiting cheap, powerful removal is right on. Yeah, actually that article inspired the thread. There's discussion of specific Battlecruiser cubes, but not a lot of...

My friends, this is good stuff. Thanks for the thoughtful responses. Any reason to not divide the sum of the power by the sum of the toughness across all cards? I like this method because it's easy to get the numbers from Cube Cobra. For example, the MODO Vintage cube has a ratio of 0.95...

What makes battlecruiser or dragon limited formats work? I'm reading some great older Riptide threads, and some discussion in other places, but I can't find a good discussion of how to make battlecruiser formats fun. Let's discuss general principles like make removal expensive, be careful with...
