i FINALLY got to test the cube out with a full pod of homies. we had a blast and i learned a lot about what works well and what doesnt work at all (looking at you professor onyx :sob:). lets go over some of the bigger take aways and changes being made.

The Cuts

  1. the suspend fast mana was terrible. no one wanted to md them because they are entirely too slow compared to the rest of the cube
  2. helm of awakening and path to exile were traps. they often helped your opp more than you
  3. mirari's wake, horn of greed, basalt monolith, oracle of mul daya, grinning ignus, and primal amulet all cost too much for what they offered
  4. goblin anarchomancer and vial smasher the fierce didnt seem to have a home in any deck that could be made so they are out
  5. the rest of the cuts were either always sb'd by the drafters and/or cards that were agreed last picks. i thought raven's crime would dece but boy was i wrong
The Swap

  1. deal three's like lightning helix and incinerate didnt kill the most problematic creatures. everyone playing red wished these dealt four instead so swapped them for cards like flame slash and rending volley
The Adds

  1. welcome griselbrand! a draw seven can fit nicely into any deck and why not make this degenerate cube a little more degenerate. alongside this demon comes a small reanimate/entomb package and some other ways to cheat him out like flash and through the breach
  2. red felt a little weak by itself and i wanted to give it some new spice. ive added fork and increasing vengeance as ways to copy not only your spells but your opps busted ones. i also wanted red to hate on blue a little harder so ive added guttural response
  3. i wanted to add some new fun build arounds. tibalt's trickery, omniscience, thassa's oracle, as foretold, and squandered resources all accomplish that goal.
  4. white needed some help so it gets a new tutor in academy rector. additionally it makes some of the aforementioned build arounds fetchable
  5. the cube needed more gy hate so ive added jack-o'-lantern and grafdigger's cage
  6. chain of smog and doomsday were big misses by me when i first put together this cube and im not making that mistake twice.

hope you enjoy the changes and please feel free to lmk what you think!
