...they made a monocolor Trostani's Summoner? lmaoJust remembered a couple more:
General "Looking for a card"-Thread
- Thread starter ravnic
- Start date
I had it in my Cube for a few months, I took it out once I finally gave up on my beloved Reveillark since it hadn't seen a main deck once anyways.
It's actually a sweet design, kind of sad it didn't work out.
A few years back I finally sold my Japanese foil MOR Reveillark to my Usual Guy (who has bought almost all my cube rejects over the years, and sold me a substantial portion of my cube, including the duals) and I just wanted you to know that I hear you.

Hey now, nobody mentioned this one yet?!
And then there’s stuff like
Also, not as much of a classic, but still, if you’re listing the Orzhov flashback spell, this is another great way to get back some 2 power creatures!

Decent cards to stabilize a life total
Stuff like this that can help a deck stabilize after the aggro deck does its thing to try to help them get to Eldrazi mana. Mid-high power.
Red is crushing Eldrazi right now in game wins, but the games themselves aren't so far off and I think gaining 3-6 life could make a real difference.

It's not what you asked for, except it totally is.
(I guess there's similar Overgrown Battlement/Sylvan Caryatid style things, but honestly, the OG has never been surpassed.)
Anyone got a fun RG high-power-level card?
I have three slots. Mawloc and Bloodbraid Elf aren't leaving.
Third is currently Questing Druid but I'd like to replace it.
Bloodbraid Challenger exists, but I don't want two and the Elf sparks too much joy to bring some new ripoff in.
Without triomes or duplicate fetches, I don't want Territorial Kavu or Wrenn and Six.
Domri, Anarch of Bolas and Halana and Alena, Partners both got cut for insufficient power, if that helps.
Etali, Primal Conqueror is already in as mono-red, I care about color identity completely arbitrarily only when it suits me.
Beyond that I'm open to almost any suggestion - bonus points for any of
historic, casting spells from exile, MV 3 or less, discard
but I'm open to hearing about anything that doesn't care about creature types. That's the only line I draw.
edit: I could always just say screw it and dust off a card I like - so Burning-Tree Emissary or Escape to the Wilds - for now...

Could I propose just... not replacing Questing Druid. I think it's probably the coolest "RG" card.
She hits a few notes here and has been good for me at just rummaging through the deck.
A 5 drop on turn 2 is serious power!
An oldie that gets the job done and adds threat density to your decks
Maybe...
I'm not sure about the power-level....it's stronger than Halana and Domri, but maybe not strong enough?
...I had managed to already forget all about Rydia, Summoner of Mist, that's a SICK one even if it suggests Sagas. Now, that said, I do have a few Sagas, and if I bite the bullet and swap one of the big dumb red cards for Summon: Kujata too... haha yesssss wheels are TURNING
edit: after writing it out as a cubecobra blog post, I ended up with:
Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald in over Druid (but see below)
Summon: Kujata in over Greater Gargadon, who I have been meaning to cut for a while
poor Rydia, Summoner of Mist riding the bench but awaiting me maybe going up to 4 gold cards of every combo, which we might actually be getting close to?!
...and Questing Druid reclassified as "a red noncreature spell"
I had Demand Answers which is utterly forgettable. People who aren't me can enjoy the Dryad half of the Druid, I'll play it as just a boring Reckless Impulse that can trigger Poxwalkers even if I don't have green sources.
Reasonable. I will not be doing it. But reasonable. I don't like it and I'm mad that I don't like it because I should like it, I just... don't. It's never excited me and it really should because it's sweet.
I have never seen this card before in my life, which is why I ask these things! This is at least going on the maybe list. It's exciting in a weird way. Once I decide how much of the Spider-Man 2099 stuff I want to be doing...Maybe...

This card is consistently excellent in high power cubes, and fun to play with. Obviously there's the annoying commander trinket text, but he hits like a truck!
People kinda hate this card because of how good it is.

I think it's cute, but that's also because I am a big fan of Miniature Giant Space Hamsters.

Riptide classic Skaab Ruinator!
Literally the only other card I had on my radar lol
Is it time for Myr Superion again?!?!?!?!?!?! ...no? okay.
Casting a wide net here, but hopefully you can see how anything in particular ended up on the list to maybe spark future ideas:
