General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

[CML]

Not to ignore your previous post, but does a cantripping Crop Rotation sound better at ?

sure why not

the quality of this card is tied very intimately to the quality of the ULD, UG is the perfect mana cost to really FUCK EM but judging by how few people I've gotten with Teferi's Response the aggressive cost is fine.

Crop Rotation is would fit perfectly within most Cubes, except the power level is a little low for off-theme hands. Don't get me wrong, I love the restricted tutoring and I even think UG is the best way to do it so! Let us know.

 

[Chris Taylor]

Chris your need to shoot from the hip the comparison I am obvs aware of is usually okay but sometimes it drives me nuts. The 100% better comparison would probz be Krosan Tusker anyway b.

So here is where I'm at. I don't think the "It's blue so card advantage" works particularly well on spells that cost less than 4+ mana or so.

Cards I think are cooler than 2cc +temp divination

Wind Drakes! Cool design space!


Creature - Drake
Flying, haste
Whenever you play an instant or sorcery spell CARD deals 1 damage to target player.
2/2

Ruby Drake
Creature - Drake
Flying, haste
When Ruby Drake enters the battlefield you may put an instant or sorcery card in your graveyard on top of your library.
2/1

I'm also thinking about red black cards that are revenants because red and black both kinda do that.

Devil Demon
Creature - Demon Devil
Flying, Haste
When Devil Demon enters the battlefield it deals 1 damage to target player.
Sacrifice a permanent: Put Devil Demon from your graveyard onto the battlefield.
3/3

I love all 3 of those drakes!

And seriously, why the beef? Cultivate is Rampant Growth + Lay of the land, this is Rampant Growth + draw a card, Krosan Tusker is Lay of the land + Draw a card
They're all equally right

i like it but i'd like it more if:
- deal 1 to each player instead of target
- can't block maybe

 

[Lucre]

So who wants to talk about these ideas:

BAD
Sorcery
Assault deals damage to target creature an opponent controls equal to the highest power among creatures you control
//FUSE//
WORSE
Sorcery
Battery deals damage to target creature equal to the number of lands you control.

[This is easy to edit]

Smack
Sorcery
Target creature you control fights another target creature.
//FUSE//
Whack
Sorcery
Whack deals damage to target creature equal to the number of lands you control.

A fair cube addition. I think there are more creative ways to make this but I like it all the same.

I don't care for most of those dragons (isn't Flameblast Dragon just straight up better than Blazing Dragon for example?), but Raiding Hellkite is awesome. I would cube that in a second.

Yeah that hellkite seems supes hard to beat on the table eh? Like damn hard to race even from a good board position.

Why don't you like my boneboy? It seems like fixed trike to me, I know about maro's thing about counter types but I think we can let it slide for cube right? this could easily be a 4/4 and cost 5.

I looooove the corpse dragon, but maybe it seems like more of a constructed card. I like how balanced it seems vs how inevitable it is. I guess maybe it's just not impactful enough at 5?

I think the blazing dragon was in my initial custom cube, I don't remember if it had haste or not but it probably didn't. Back then damage stacked so that might be different but having a R sacrifice on your guy was pretty good and being able to blaze someone whenever you wanted was a really nice upside on a creature that felt like it was solid already. Like most of the time you wouldn't live past the first attack, but you felt pretty good playing this on 5 or like drawing it in bad positions later. I also like 5's way more than 6's lol.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

Corpse dragon just seems really annoying to get rid of for a heavy hitter that's relatively cheap. It's like Firemane Angel on steroids. Not that Firemane Angel is all that hot nowadays, but still.

The design of Bone Dragon just doesn't gel with me, though I can't really figure out why not. Also, Trike doesn't really need fixing. Plus his counters can go to the dome.

Maybe Raiding Hellkite should be a 3/4 now that I think about it. His 1 damage can go to the dome as well, so it would still be plenty playable as a pseudo 4/4 haste. I also just love how organic that ping ability feels, and how it meshes so well with the wither keyword. Man, wither is so much more fun than infect, it's not even funny. Super sweet design.

Okay babe, but you don't really need to deal with corpse dragon too hard, it's kinda like the desecration demon that way, consider how much it costs to recur for how bad it is at blocking if you aren't both ahead on cards and mana (in a huge way).

Well Trike is pretty awks by todays standards (omg did damage on the stack matter there). If it were red it would deal damage to the dome and not regenerate but it's a skeleton! I think what you need to remember is that most colours have trouble getting to six and cards that cost that much mana come with a huuuuuge tempo deficit to any interaction so they have to be kinda good. I could change it to eot -1/-1 or something, there's a lot of room to play there, but I think you are allowed to have texty cards when they are bomb rares right? Lol jitte dragon, only simpler!

I dunno the hellkite was made to be on par with bomb rare haste dragos so I'm comfortable with there being precedence for multicolour badasses and 5cc dragon badasses.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

Yeah, I like your reasoning here. Maybe I'm too cautious.

Virulent Familiar
Creature - Zombie Rat
Soulbond (You may pair this creature with another unpaired creature when either enters the battlefield. They remain paired for as long as you control both of them.)
As long as Virulent Familiar is paired with another creature, both creatures have wither.
2/1

 

[Lucre]

I think cautiousness is an undervalued quality mostly but it should be tempered with addendums often and used sparingly when it comes to DRAGONS!

I think your card is cool but too low impact. I like wither but I also like +1 counters so fuck me.

what do you guys think about bogardan hellkite with evoke 2RR?

 

[Onderzeeboot]

I think your card is cool but too low impact. I like wither but I also like +1 counters so fuck me.

Again, the cautiousness

what do you guys think about bogardan hellkite with evoke 2RR?

Compared to Arc Lightning I'ld say that's one mana too cheap.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

Ok, there must be more we can do with soulbond. I think that mechanic is super cool.

Blinking Familiar
Creature - Spirit
Flying, vigilance
Soulbond (You may pair this creature with another unpaired creature when either enters the battlefield. They remain paired for as long as you control both of them.)
As long as Inspiring Familiar is paired with another creature, each of thos creatures creatures has "When this creature dies, you may return it to your hand."
2/2

Inspiring Familiar
Creature - Bird
Flying
Soulbond (You may pair this creature with another unpaired creature when either enters the battlefield. They remain paired for as long as you control both of them.)
As long as Inspiring Familiar is paired with another creature, each of thos creatures creatures has "When this creature dies, you may draw a card."
1/1

Rotting Familiar
Creature - Zombie Rat
Intimidate
Soulbond (You may pair this creature with another unpaired creature when either enters the battlefield. They remain paired for as long as you control both of them.)
As long as Virulent Familiar is paired with another creature, each of thos creatures creatures has "When this creature dies, target player discards a card."
2/1

Destructive Familiar
Creature - Elemental
Haste
Soulbond (You may pair this creature with another unpaired creature when either enters the battlefield. They remain paired for as long as you control both of them.)
As long as Virulent Familiar is paired with another creature, each of thos creatures creatures has "When this creature dies, target player sacrifices an artifact or land."
3/1

Viridian Familiar
Creature - Elemental
Soulbond (You may pair this creature with another unpaired creature when either enters the battlefield. They remain paired for as long as you control both of them.)
As long as Viridian Familiar is paired with another creature, each of thos creatures creatures has "When this creature dies, you may search your library for a basic land card, put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle your library."
2/1

I don't know if Destructive Familiar is fun, it looks pretty nasty, but I think it's appropriately costed.

 

[Lucre]

I'm not that into soulbond but these seem fine. It often feels too on or off to me, and that works for some colours but I'm kinda sick of it.

Anyone wana stay topical and make some sweet low effort artifact matters cards, artifact substitutions or cheap dragons?

Draco-Lich
Creature - Zombie Dragon
Flying, deathtouch
Whenever a creature is put into a graveyard from play you may pay 1 life and draw a card.
1/4

 

[Rasmus Källqvist]

I think you might have accidently one of those words

 

[Lucre]

Card I came up with while I was drunk and my friend was talking to me about how much he liked fifth dawn:

Glistening Glider
Artifact Creature - Drake?
Flying
Sunburst
0/1

Isn't it fun seeing limited mechanics utilized for constructed/cube? Isn't sunburst the off hand multicolour reward we like to see?
@ Rasmus, yeah I guess I accidentally deleted too much when I was editing out my auto correct let me just fix that.

I <3 sunburst, it's the very mechanic that got me hooked on Magic again after a 2,5 year hiatus. Pentad Prism into Bringer of the Blue Dawn is still one of my favorite things ever!

Yeah for a long time Petad Prism was part of my UW tech against KCI and Affinity and to a lesser extent Goblin Piledriver. It didn't matter that you had been down a card or so if you got to one sided obliterate them with your Akroma's Vengeance 2 turns early. Always having a turn 3/4 wrath or being able to cast 2 spells on turn 4 was pretty sweet too.

Sunburst is a totes awkz mechanic to me in the way they used it but I think it has potential.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

So here's a few cards I am seriously contemplating for my cube. I think Abyssal Gate and Crystal Glade (plus four others, one for each 3-color combination) are in, but I'm wondering whether I should replace the already familiar Frenzied Goblin, and whether a color-shifted, human-friendly Mogg War Marshal would be fun. Thoughts?

 

[Eric Chan]

My thoughts are: those cards are beautiful, and you should include them for that reason alone.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

Haha, thanks for the compliment! Doesn't do much good though if they look great, but are seldom played. I think each of those is strong enough though. After all, the cards they are based on are at least borderline playable.

 

[FlowerSunRain]

The goblin is pretty nuts, I don't think I'd run it.

White War Marshal is a nice color shift, I would certainly consider making the shift.

Artifact Abyss seems like a decent card if you want to run the abyss, but don't want to clog the cube up with enchantment removal, focusing it into artifact removal seems fair.

That land seems like it would give players headaches.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

That land seems like it would give players headaches.

Why do you think so? I would like to include a balanced triland that enters the battlefield untapped and this seemed like the best solution to me. I don't see why it would give players headaches though. I never had any problems with Aysen Abbey and friends, and this seems less complex.
