Exactly and that’s not what I intended.
Can we agree that the cards should be sorted into different categories if we give them different colors?
Type: Land
Color: White
Should come before
Type: Land
Color: Blue
In my opinion.
Now I have to do
Type: Land
Color: Doesn’t matter
Mana Value: 0 -> 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 to get five sections for
, , , , Right?
White: Creature
Blue: Instant
Black: Spot removal and discard
Red: Sorcery
Green: Land
Black was a joke. I can’t think of a unique type that doesn’t step on another color’s most iconic. White could also be enchantment. Maybe black could be creature.
In that case, make a 4-color cube
: Enchantments: Instants: Sorceries: PlaneswalkersAnd let creatures be in all colors (let creatures break the rule). Or green could be creatures instead of planeswalkers.

Sheesh I log off for like a day
What changed was wotc's track record. They've actually been putting ward numbers that make sense on things.
Ward 4 is still fine IF it's on a 6 drop, right? It's if shit like ragavan gets ward 4 where we have a problem
Honestly, I expected them to fuck this up instantly, because ward is an easy way to juice a creature. But ward's been out for a while now, and honestly it's been done well.
I think the closest thing to a "design mistake" we've had with ward is like...Svyelun of Sea and Sky and A) that's a stretch and B) the issue I do have with that card isn't ward, it's longstanding problem child indestructible.
It's being put on the right kinds of threats, it's being done in good amounts, call me optimistic.

Welcome back, we’ve missed you
Yeah I think they have been doing really well with ward up until now!
On a 6 drop, sure ward 4 is cool.
On a legendary 8 drop, I think it should be hexproof straight up.
White: Enchantment, artifact, creature, planeswalker (lmao)
Blue: Instant, artifact, sorcery
Black: Sorcery, creature, enchantment
Red: Sorcery, artifact
Green: Creature, land, enchantment
The onslaught cycle has enchantment | instant | creature | sorcery | land. If lands are out of the question I might go for artifact | instant | enchantment | sorcery | creature I think, but enchantment | instant | sorcery | artifact | creature is also an option, or creature | instant | sorcery | artifact | enchantment for a more radical one.
Black traditionally doesn't have a lot of sorcery interaction, it just feels like a sorcery color to me. It often plays at a slower speed with discard, tutor and reanimation spells that characterize a lot of its unique mechanics.

Honestly I'd still prefer ward 8. At least give me the dream, you know?
I agree, especially since it sorts every other land color identity combination already. It even has "non-[single color]" as a sort, but not "[single color]"Exactly and that’s not what I intended.

green is lands
My brain wanted either that one, a cube where your draw for the turn was replaced by a Brainstorm, or one where everyone starts with a Yet Another Aether Vortex effect. The second one doesn't feel like it justifies itself, and the YAEV cube kinda hurts my brain whenever I think about it.
EDIT: Did you know that YAEV makes it so that every permanent you draw triggers appropriate enters/leaves triggers? And that milling a creature on top of your library makes it die without sacrificing or destroying it? So, for example, Stitcher's Supplier makes you mill 6 as soon as it hits the top of your library, Sage of Epityr is a weird combo piece, and you're probably never going to actually draw Elvish Rejuvenator.
Having to build around the idea that any permanent on your deck could be on the battlefield on turn 1 is... daunting, honestly.

Useful, thanks Brad!
hmm... I don't see a way directly in CubeCobra, but you can tap the picture to bring up the details window, and then the "Scryfall" button at the bottom takes you to Scryfall where you can flip the card. Seems like they should implement that same "transform" button in the details window of CC.

Would rather lose while having fun than win a boring game. The outcome isn't the most important thing to me when I'm playing a game for fun.
winning > losing, but if you’re both interacting with each other and turn the game into an all-out grind, everyone wins
