Yeah, these should all be fine togetherDebating revisiting some older cubing stuff, and I'm curious if you guys think that the following cards can hang together at the same power level:
(Thinking of doing a mini-reanimator theme in a 2-3-7 cube using Recommission and the like, and I like the idea of having some "fatties" to aim for.)
Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

Oops, yeah, it's not a common term or anything. It's named after 237 Magic. I also have a more recent take on the concept called Late Night Musings that I haven't posted about much.
It's honestly a pretty fun design challenge, especially if you're also focused on making it still feel like normal Magic through alternate costs and mana sinks.
Really not sure how I missed that it's a 3/3 not a 2/2...
That said, the Troll eating your graveyard is what makes it interesting to me, because it actually has a cost associated with it being a 5/5 trampler by T4. On the flip side, it also has more play against graveyard hate (since it has a built-in way to potentially restock).

I think this card looks really sweet. It's on my short list of cards to include if I build another low power Cube!I came here to talking about
,
which is another mini-fatty.
Am I the only one who thinks this card looks sweet?
I've seen Worn Powerstone in many cubes, even max-power-ish ones. I've had it myself and it was a bit too much ramp for a colorless card. But I never see this in people's lists:
Isn't this just better if you're green? It could be a very nice card to encourage BIG green ramp decks, or no?
Also, have you seen the stronghold printing? Just wow.

It is a great card. Thing is powerstone goes in all decks, overgrowth only green. Thing 2: green has ramp that’s also a creature or fixing which trumps overgrowth.I've seen Worn Powerstone in many cubes, even max-power-ish ones.

any experience with these in lower powered environments?
No, but I have with prevent 2 damage creatures. Or +1/1 givers. They are great, but mentally taxing for the opponent. They screw with combat math

I think this card is very good. It would already be great if it cost
has anyone ever tested this? It does spark joy looking at it, but it would require quite an overhaul for my cube to even support the density.
to cast. As-is I think it needs a little more support density in order to be a non-parasitic Cube inclusion, but I don’t think it’s too far off!Definitely watch this one for the future!

It was going to but they didn't want to print it like that because of lurrusI think this card is very good. It would already be great if it cost

Funny how they needn't have worried
Too funny!

From when I've played with it, it just straight up vomits tokens onto the battlefield if you have any support for any of those tokens. If you don't, it's just a naff creature. I'm not sure that it's a good card for Cube.
I love it. It's a fun build-around and lets people feel like they're "going off".

How do we feel about these two in a bounceland format?
They offer a bit of disruption (-1 mana) and a bit of draw smoothing (and the enchantment type is relevant).
Any other mild mana disruption spells you can think of?

It's a bounceland format, but the draft includes cantrip Sinkhole?
Mild? I like playing rough but imagine this:How do we feel about these two in a bounceland format?

Opponent on the play:land one drop.
You: land one drop.
Oppo: one drop bounce land
You: one drop bounce
Oppo: land, seas one drop
You: one colourless drop and bounce?
It is sinkhole basic land plus draw as Brad says. That is not mild. Especially not since the seas screws up your fixing as well. I do not think blue needs to be strongest in the land denial as well as all the other parts (okay, you could stiff blue on creatures if you like but still).
