Assemble the Legion is typically frustratingly powerful, as it is a snowballing Bitterblossom that is extremely hard to interact with. In a format where it can't be hosed by aggro, it looks like a true nightmare. Rakdos's Return would skew very similar to Mind Twist in this slow format, and I would be similarly hesitant to see it make the cut. Sire of Insanity would be a comparable, tolerable version of this effect, I think.

Stifle is kinda like Rampant Growth with bounce lands, and it also stops lame things from happening. Creature ETB effects are lame, but Gryff aids Stifle in stopping them. Speaking of creature effects, how about turning the graveyard into a cro-magnon resource at a cost?
... so, Phyrexian Dreadnought makes sense, right???

So rector for all these sweet enchantments you are running. And Karmic Guide? That has a lot of shenanigan value (esp with lark). Maybe some more support for black devotion? I threw Grave Pact in there for big splashy effect value, but that could be Necropotence or a half dozen other cards. Meren as a super clear signal for the color pair.
Well, if Frednaught is in here, we need more ways to interact.
Feel free not to include these.
Edit: looking at the list, this cube seems light on creatures. Just saying.

Only 10 more submissions to go! (well, 9 after this post)
I'm not too fussed at this point as to what people submit, as this has been going on for a while. I did say that things can be changed afterwards anyway.
Black early drop, helps lifegain a bit, splashable spirit.
Green biggish drop, partial removal and a spirit.
I just wanted Red to have another 4-drop creature :]
A removal spell that seems conditional enough that should be fine to include. Wanted it to be Lingering Death (enchantment!), but thought against it.

Ok, a few creatures.
Are these ok? I think I would also add the Skarrg Guildmage and New Prahv Guildmage

Dope. Now we need that X costing thing that turns into a creature for 1. You know?

That's it!
Ok then, one last post
I really like Engineered Explosives with Trinket Mage, but I'm not sure this is the cube for it.

Eh, you never know. It fits the 5-Colour theme and hates out on the lower CMC things, which I am fine with. It is supposed to be all about the large beat sticks.
I'm really liking the sub-packages you guys have been adding. Plus the Guildmages are a nice add. Things to do early and make for decent mana sinks late.
Only 6 more submissions until it is done!
yeah I think guildmages are a good fit. The battlemages are probably also on theme, but there's already plenty of 3-drops in the cube.

I originally had this also-slow-to-payoff card:
Is this any good?
Wow. That's pretty nifty. Garbage as a 3 drop, but for 6 mana in a reanimator deck, it's an 8/8 flyer that sets up your next fatty? How have I never seen that card before?
Speaking of Dralnu, is burn janky enough in this list to run this dude as a crazy instant/sorcery CA engine? Art is sweet AF too.

Or mercurial chemister, spellbound dragon, lol toymaker, wolf of devil's breach, volrath's shapeshifter
edit; +1 for dralnu, such a dude

Seems like an easy way to get 2-for-1'd though. It only makes sense as a reanimation enabler when you're discarding something that costs more than 6, that you weren't going to be able to cast. If you intend to reanimate the thing, surely there's a better.
But honestly, it does sound like the kind of card I'd want to cast in a battlecruiser cube. Looks fun. But I think we need emrakul... looks like I am going to contribute yet again. CARDS:
Any objections?
edit: just looking through the list... foul renewal is such a good choice! Props to whoever put that in. Can't wait to foul renewal emrakul.
