Testing a bunch of new 2024 cards. Some of these cuts were a long time coming (Vexing Shusher, Academy Rector, Gilded Drake) and some I might bring back (Myojin of Cleansing Fire, Deflection, Siege-Gang Commander) as I test these new cards.

I wanted to test disguise, but the fact that you don't say "I morph this card" and you have to say "I disguise this card"... means that veterans of the cube will know which card it is, defeating the point, and alienating new players.

Cuts were hard, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized some cards were problematic. Gifts Ungiven and Intuition cutting down on the number of tutors can speed up the game (players get overwhelmed when tutoring), so I think I'll keep the tutors to be type specific, like Whir of Invention.

more maybe cards! guess the theme..

Mostly because these came in the mail and I want to test them out!

Added SO many cards to the maybeboard I thought it was time for a refresher. Went through the cube and pulled cards that haven't been performing or were problematic

• Pyrrhic is just a better fling
• Momentary Blink just hasn't performed in a long time
• Same story with Stonewood Invocation
• Survival of the Fittest is broken and just takes forever for someone to tutor
• Diamond Valley is sweet but often does nothing, and when it works it stalls too much
• Compulsion has been a contentious card for a while, and Unfulfilled Desires at least puts a cost on the draw power, so most of the time it's a weaker Yawgmoth's Bargain, but sometimes more powerful.
• Teneb and Intet are relics of an earlier version of the Type 4 stack. Creatures can't have to wait a turn to do something, then have the possibility of whiffing, or only dealing 6 damage.
• Vesuva is a classic card but often it's the only land and it just sticks in the hand
• Ertai is just too slow and draws too much aggro
• Beacon of Immortality and Tower of Eons go along with the reduction of life gain to avoid stalling games, in favor of cards that also protect you, but offer an interesting way of doing it
• Mindleech mass, see Intet/Teneb. Avatar of Slaughter is iffy and conditional but fun and chaotic
• Settle Beyond Reality was usually just a sorcery speed Swords to Plowshares
• Mind's Dilation, I just hate this card. I might hate Lavinia too but that's the kind of evil I like
• Soulfire Eruption is such an upgrade it's crazy
• Persuasion is just kind of meh
• Sculpting Steel can be great but most of the time it's a dud
• Tower of Fortunes is just a little too strong, especially if you can untap with it
• False Prophet just didn't give you any proactive control
