*I do not consider this a successful cube* What started out as a ~~misguided~~ attempt to make cards like [[Oni of the Wild Places]] good evolved into this: the Bounce Cube. Each color cares about creatures entering the battlefield. For example, you can: - Snuff out aggro with [[charismatic conqueror]] - Ignore conqueror completely because you have [[hedron detonator]] - Mill out your opponent by recasting [[shrieking drake]] into [[sage's row denizen]] - Fill your grave with creatures and reanimate a [[lotleth giant]] - Play an early [[jadelight spelunker]] for value, then recast it as a late game beater ### Archetypes {w} Flicker flood - Gain life and slow down the game while building your engine <<[[!Resolute Reinforcements]] [[!fortune, loyal steed]] [[!Charismatic Conqueror]]>> {u} Tempo - Bounce your creatures for value while controlling your opponent <<[[!faerie seer]][[!Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholar]][[!venser, shaper savant]]>> {b} Zombies + Drain - Use zombie synergies to reanimate threats and drain your opponents <<[[!cryptbreaker]] [[!vrock]] [[!blood seeker]]>> *Optional Rule: Vampires and skeletons count as zombies.* {r} Artifacts - Create, clone, destroy and resurrect artifacts for beats and burn <<[[!breya's apprentice]][[!Molten Gatekeeper]][[!ogre battledriver]]>> {g} +1/+1 counters - Replay creatures at a discount while going tall with +1/+1 counters <<[[!mistbreath elder]] [[!hidden herbalists]] [[!Yorvo, Lord of Garenbrig]]>> ### Splashing I've done my best to pair the colors well together, especially if you're splashing. For example, red and white cannot replay creatures as easily as blue and green. A red deck splashing blue for a [[dour port-mage]] or [[crystal shard]] can make the deck run more smoothly. Similarly, green is fairly limited in removal, so a player may splash into white to get access to [[tragic arrogance]], knowing that their single remaining creature will be much bigger than their opponent's. ### Watchlist These cards may be too strong for the environment. Experiment One has the potential to be an invincible threat, though I believe bounce will keep him in check. <<[[!Shrieking Drake]] [[!Sage's Row Denizen]] [[!dour port-mage]] [[!Experiment One]]>>
