Legends is hard, there aren't enough cards.
Tokens isn't fun to deal with in a physical sense. Having to keep a million tokens available and then dig through them during the games are a hassle.

The entire archetype is getting replaced with +1/+1 counters.

Similar to the white changes we wanted to remove some of the "dinkier" cards and replace them with better cards than synergize easier. We don't want to punish players for trying to get a synergy together and then not drawing cards in the correct order.

Boggart Harbinger is a stand in for Warren Soultrader

A lot of white cards felt mid compared to the rest of the cube. We are removing some of the dinkier or non-synergy white white cards and replacing them with things that better suit the deck or are generically good.

The "planeswalkers matters" primary theme in red made balancing the cube very difficult. The card pool for that archetype is very narrow so I had to throw in nearly every playable red walker. I want an archetype that I have better control over and plays better with the cube as a whole.

I decided to pivot into "treasures matters". This is a very commander-only theme. You will find cards in constructed formats that create treasure, but it generally isn't the whole purpose of the deck. There is a huge number of cards that create treasure and use treasure. Those cards also overlap heavily with artifacts matter, and are generally playable in aggressive tempo decks. Both of the enemy pairs this cube wants to focus on.

Pros:
Better support and larger card pool
More flexibility in the color as a whole
I don't have to balance around an entire deck not have creatures
I don't have to balance around colors needing dedicated planeswalker removal
Plays better with RW artifacts and UR tempo
Can build combo with Magda + Hellkite Tyrant
Can build aggro with Painful Distributor, Swashbuckler Extraordinaire, and Crime Novelist

Cons:
I lose Transmogrify
Might make the cube feel too artifact heavy
Lots of work to rip out an entire archetype and rebalance everything
Feels more "generic" and less narrow that I originally wanted for the cube
A "treasure" archetype can mean a lot of things from storm, dragons, dwarves, artifacts in play, welder and I have to figure out what I actually want

It's been a little bit since I've had the time and motivation to update this cube. As a note, I haven't tested any of these changes, so let me know your thoughts.

Similar to commander it feels like the early turns are just set up for the late game. Most games are a back and forth of fighting over Inferno Titan not playing small games of incremental value. I want to lean into that a bit more.

This cube is meant to be a quick thing that people can do during events or while waiting for people to show up to FNM. I want a lot of interaction and back and forth, but not over small things. Similar to the Dandan cube, but with bigger splashier effects.

So lets give players more tools to do splashy big games that end quickly. Hurl Through Hell, for example, lets players come back from the brink and set up for a large swing.

I also want to remove some of the cards that didn't really do much. I've noticed that pumping mana into anything that doesn't forward your board state isn't a good idea. Spending mana on mazemind tome or hypnotic grifter puts you further behind.

Three Steps Ahead looks like a fun card that can impact the game in a variety of ways. Let's try that over Grifter.

Tinybones, the Pickpocket Is a much cooler way of doing the same thing that Isareth does and comes down earlier. It does trigger on damage instead of attack, which might cause issues.

Magda, the Hoardmaster and Robber of the Rich fulfill pretty similar roles. Let's try out the new card.

Wildborn Preserver always felt pretty mid. I like choices that Outcaster Trailblazer gives you. Play it as an early creature or take an early turn off to let you play an off-color spell next turn.

Trygon Predator was almost always a vanilla 2/3 flier. Let's try something new.

Dream-Thief's Bandana is a color agnostic way of providing the "on hit draw" effect. It does require a creature to connect, so this change might get reverted.

Icingdeath, Frost Tyrant is a cool card, but the equipment doesn't come up that much. This change is mostly to try something new. I want to see if Magus of the Moat just stalls games or if it's an interesting tool that players can use to skirt an opponent's big threats.

Monastery Mentor doesn't have much support in the cube.

Sunset Revelry is pretty mid most of the time. Get Lost seems like a cool removal spell that also gives the cube a tool against Glare of Subdual in a single color.

Pack Rat was kind of mid. I thought it would be cool for the player that wanted to hate-draft off color cards and not get punished, but it didn't really work out.

Soulflayer is hard to get working. Unshakable Tail seems pretty interesting and plays well with recursion.

Sea-Dasher never really did much.

Daxos of Meletis never did much and has way too much text.

Gallia of the Endless Dance was generally a pretty good aggressive play, but it did feel out of place a lot. I want to try out Bloodbraid Elf to see how cascade feels as an effect.

Knight of Autumn is a good card, but I want to try out other cards.

Hydroid Krasis doesn't play well with the cube's general theme of steal your opponents stuff.

Smirking Spelljacker seems like a really cool way to stop your opponent's bomb and set up for later. I don't really want to cut Mystic Confluence or Shark Typhoon, but I may try it out in a few games.

If I don't like Bloodbraid Elf I may try out Gruul Spellbreaker as an aggressive gruul card.
