This is my attempt at a two-person cube (inspired by TCC's recent video). I have set cubes but rarely enough people to fire them; however, I live with someone who plays. We might jam a few games and that's fun, but I want to scratch my cube-building itch. So, that is this cube.
Finally got around to updating for the second half of 2024: Modern Horizons 3 through Foundations. Quite a few shake ups. Foundations gave a better sphinx that showed off being a tricky sphinx (this time the player gets to sort the piles with some hidden information, like posing the riddle themselves). Bloomburrow's offsprings gave minor token synergy which is great for a new spellslinging pinger. Etched slith is a better answer to counters than the (mechanically) cute festering mummy. I also decided to cut down to only 1 pegasus token and move some tags around to include a new modal spell in white which answers enchantments and graveyards.
There are 2 changes that I am on the fence about. One is quilled greatwurm. Maybe this is too much juice being added to the counters deck, but nemesis of mortals never seemed to draw a player's eye. The other is indebted spirit, a fun card that is perfect for this cube. It overlaps a lot with doomed traveler though, so maybe the spirit should replace the traveler instead of murder investigation? That said, murder investigation always felt slow and awkward with white's larger-toughness creatures. Maybe it should be put back in to reward slower decks or incentivize looking to more aggressive colors like black for more power. I'm not sure. I figured I could play with it.
