Card/Deck Removal Auras

[James Stevenson]

James, because as an anxious cube designer I want to make you happy: what do you hope to get off Three Dreams? (This sent me off into an "it's okay, I run some pretty sweet auras.... but these auras are pretty sweet, what if someone else takes them?")

What if we made Three Dreams into an instant? I really like this card as a sweet control tool, but we need good auras. There seems to be some dope 3-mana removal auras:

But 3-mana sorcery speed removal is basically still bad. What cheaper options do we have? Any sweet customs? I just want people to hit this thread with sweet auras.

How else could we modify Three Dreams? Flashback would be swagged out. Can we make it good in other decks, like a pants deck?

Pacifism should just cost W. Does anybody here like Temporal Isolation?

So I just realised I could put a filter on the Cubetutor's top cards
So here are the top 10 aura cards (apparently):

I guess the amount of peasant/low-powered cubes out on cubetutor were more plentiful than expected.

Other good white auras to stay on colour:


Also, don't order by pick count or you end up with these cards near the top (some people must have some really, really low powered cubes):


In all honesty, the card I would want to be searching for:

Should, but then would be too oppressive.

Not really, but anything for the sake of a pun.

Could be sweet:


Gotta try this this one out:

James, thanks for making this thread, you're great.

I'm happy to report back to Kirblinx that I am indeed running Curse of Shallow Graves. (Also perhaps less excitingly Underworld Dreams for a card advantage engine and Curse of Death's Hold).

Sweet Boros white removal I don't think has been mentioned yet (apologies if I've missed it):

Uhh, I fixed your post for you. I wish Three Dreams could grab Sylvan Library. I guess Psychic Possession is the closest I can get (if the opponent had their own Sylvan).

Reanimation auras are quite cute, I think. You could pair them with cards like Ghostly Wings or Oblivion Crown that let you discard a fatty from your hand. I particularly like Ghostly Wings, because it's a pump aura, a bounce effect and a discard outlet, all rolled in a tiny little package.

Low power environment required, tho.

Oh, its auras... I should've read that more carefully

These are awesome... but maybe a little over powered? Or should I be supporting reanimator and just keep control of the fatties? It would fit my cube, I am trying to push self-mill.

I want to voice my support for Chained to the Rocks.

I personally think it's worth it, though I love Animate Dead & co. Even if you don't fully support reanimator, it's just great as a mid-game spell.

Now there's an EDH deck I can get behind!

 

[ahadabans]

One of my favorite auras.

 

[Quirk]

Underworld Dreams? Ugh. I meant

is pretty sweet.

I like this idea more with



As cheaper, can be blinked, bounced and reanimated.

 

[Dom Harvey]

there are many good old-school Modophotos but this is my favourite

The combo!

 

[CML]

The combo!

not quite enough for the pilgrim

 

[Jason Waddell]

Uh... so the deck that wants Three Dreams and not a wrath is a midrange white deck?

 

[Diakonov]

What do people think of Cage of Hands? Not as strong as Prison Term, but easier to cast, you can get it back before wrathing, and it triggers constellation repeatedly (is this a good thing? I know FSR used this mechanic).

 

[James Stevenson]

I'm thinking we might need a dope custom to get auras back from the graveyard. Something like...

1 (U/W)(U/W)
sorcery
If you spent W to cast ~, return target enchantment card from your graveyard to your hand.
If you spent U to cast ~, return target instant etc. etc.
Flashback (some cost)

So these mostly aren't actually very good removal auras, but they're all weird green removal that's not a fight card! Might be interesting in a low power cube. G/W aura control gogogogo!
