GOing to be a big update for Kaldheim, may need to start again from the ground up. We'll see.
Too many 4s
Spiders can be miserable to play against, may make it back in after I've actually played the cube a bit and can see how easy/difficult it is to deal with.
Resurrection may make it back if more gy support gets in
Freed from the reel and omen were holdovers from the previous cube that had an enchantment subtheme. Skaab helps with GY stuff, Winged Words helps with fliers
faceless butcher has old wording and black has too many creatures. Likely to make it back in in the future.
Dredge is not new player friendly, don't have a great replacement right now. Krosan tusker is always good and sort of helps gy, since it cycles
New Player cube
Instant that manifests 2 cards
mfw
Got less from CMR than i thought, since I want to keep this cube very simple.
not vibin'
honestly i'm now just cutting stuff that ain't vibin'
cutting to 360.
I two player draft or sealed the cube often enough that cogwork librarian can be awkward.
Mana geode was just there for density. Haunted fengraf was borderline in at 450. Procelain legionnaire is the only card with phyrexian mana, but will likely be back in later with others (particularly the blue and black ones).
Other cards removed include heroic cards and density cards.
Removing other mechanics that are more complicated than they are worth with newer palyers. Suspend, cipher, manifest, tribal...
Also removing mechanics that are easy to understand but seem like they're not or seem needlessly different from similar mechanics. amass, enchantment creatures, monarch, echo...
Also a few cards that just aren't a great fit anymore. undying rage, ferocious tigorilla (both options are very similar), orcish hellraiser...
Cutting all adventure and mutate cards. Also Gathan raiders, since it is the only card with morph (a complicated mechanic), and has a non-mana morph cost. Will likely get back in if i support morph, as the non-mana morph cost is easy to understand once you get the hang of morph with mana.
