General Embrace the Chaos / Cube Occasionals

[Onderzeeboot]

If you want to avoid "I made three counterspells my companions!", just restrict the card types that you can turn into a companion.

Yep, something like: pick a land, a creature, and a sorcery spell.

I like the idea of making one them an Enchantment, actually. Both because Enchantments tend to be a bit more build-around-y (so you're less likely to have people just pick a big bruiser as one of their companions), and because it's relatively easy to find build-around enchantments that aren't necessary for the deck to function.

I also just really want to draft a Heartless Summoning deck, so...

Has anyone here ever experimented with this card in black aggro or go-wide in cube? I'm suddenly curious about it.

No, but I do not think classical aggro is the correct fit. I think the summoning wants big bruisers with mana cost 4 or more.

This guy seems pretty good as a Savannah Lion, huh?

Not on turn 3… then I rather have it without the -1/-1

On T3 it cantrips or leaves you with 2 open mana for more creatures or interaction.
