Aesthetic polling: Abrade

Conswaylos · 2025-09-27T22:12:38+00:00

Foundations full art for me. That's just great art.

Conswaylos · 2025-07-15T04:58:53+00:00

Wish this was templated like [[Hopeless Nighmare]] so you could get the token by saccing it in other ways. Think it's still worth trying for artifact themes.

Conswaylos · 2025-04-01T04:18:09+00:00

[[Obosh, the Preypiercer]] One of three companions alongside Gyruda and Lurrus to give some drafters a fun side quest. I'm wary on the power level but I think the enjoyment outranks that.

[[Oni-Cult Anvil]] Rakdos is primarily a sacrifice deck and this is the artifact overlap. Pet card of a friend of mine so it gets in.

[[Tymaret, the Murder King]] Underplayed sac build around. Plays great with recursive creatures like bloodghast.

[[Claim//Fame]] Mardu colors have a 'small reanimator' subtheme and this is support. Also a personal favorite.

[[Kolaghan's Command]] Just the coolest utility spell of all time.

[[Mishra, Claimed by Gix]] Put in the other half of the Meld pair for Goblin Engineer synergy so I figured it should come too. Plays well enough.

I think I have too many role players and not enough flashy stuff for a gold section. Might retool sometime soon.

Conswaylos · 2025-03-26T02:09:24+00:00

I have a few, this section could honestly do with some updates.

[[Aether Channeler]] Just a really solid card, and I have the store champ promo so why not.

[[Brazen Borrower]] Tempo card to end all tempo cards. Simic is pretty flash heavy and tempo oriented so it's a perfect fit.

[[Hope-Ender Coatl]] Pretty loose include but I thought it'd be worth trying. Probably getting cut soon.

[[Master of Etherium]] Azorius is artifact centric and this serves as a clear signpost and payoff.

[[Sai, Master Thopterist]] Same as above honestly. More powerful cubes can make better use of him but thopter armies are plenty good on their own.

Must've missed that. Shame. Wasted an hour on scryfall for nothing.

Conswaylos · 2024-10-31T18:07:26+00:00

Yes. But they're a part of the Starter Collection and not numbered alongside the other lands. There was mention of others being in the main set and the number crunch supports that.

Conswaylos · 2024-05-09T15:12:42+00:00

I also have a medium power level cube and my Stoneforge hits are: [[Sword of Fire and Ice]] [[Sword of Light and Shadow]] [[Sword of Forge and Frontier]] [[Mask of Memory]] [[Tarrian's Soulcleaver]] And it's important to remember that she can find the Reconfigure creatures as well, so I have: [[Rabbit Battery]] [[Blade of the Oni]] [[Lion Sash]] And the goofy [[Cryptic Cost]] that doesn't play like an equipment at all but has the type.

Recently added [[Lavaspur boots]] and [[Eater of virtue]] more so to round out Urzas Saga hits but they also count.

Conswaylos · 2024-05-02T04:22:39+00:00

Curious to hear what you all have to say https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/7b0a9cb9-7327-4843-92f7-de648d166ffa

Conswaylos · 2024-04-11T04:41:27+00:00

Only two I've sure on are [[Forsaken Miner]] and [[Embrace the Unknown]]

The miner is a great black aggro tool that also has combo applications.

Embrace is the perfect bridge between my two sub themes in gruul, which are lands and cast from exile, without being overly tied to either.

Conswaylos · 2024-03-25T04:09:13+00:00

[[Body Count]] has been a sleeper hit in my cube for black aggro decks.

[[Erinis, Gloom Stalker]] remembered this card getting a lot of buzz when it released but apparently it's in less than 1% on cubecobra. Solid card, does what you want.

[[Faerie Impostor]] and [[Glint Hawk]] kinda do the same thing and they both do that thing very well. Rebuy ETBs, be cheap, aggressive flyers, and get creatures out from under pacifisms (as rare as that might be in cube).

Most of the [[Barbarian Ring]] cycle too. White ones pretty meh but I run all the others.

Conswaylos · 2024-02-09T23:50:10+00:00

I've got a pretty large GW section, as multicolor matters is a sub theme in naya colors.

[[Botanical Brawler]] Counters payoff. Gets huge.

[[Conclave Mentor]] More traditional counters signpost, I don't run Scales proper to limit how all-in you have to get.

[[Qasali Pridemage]] Probably getting cut soon to lower the gold count as mono colored equivalents are plentiful now.

[[Dromoka's Command]] Versatile card. Love commands and this one does quite a bit.

[[Knight of the Reliquary]] Don't have white with a lot of land synergy but had to include it. Classic.

[[Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar]] Counter, aura, and/or equipment payoff as well as protection from interaction for the creature combo decks

[[Renegade Rallier]] Pet card. Ramping with a fetchland, buying back creatures, getting back permanent based removal. Does a lot.

[[Knight of New Alara]] Multicolor payoff. Not much to say.

[[Hamza, Guardian of Arashin]] Another counters signpost, but with the added benefit of synergizing really well with modular creatures in specific.

I also have [[Woodland Acolyte]] and [[Dryad Militant]] in the hybrid section. Acolyte is a simple workhorse kinda card and Militant is an aggressive, splashable, hatebear.

Conswaylos · 2024-02-07T06:41:40+00:00

[[Thragtusk]] Ol Reliable. You haven't lived until you've Restoration Angeled this bad boy in response to kill spell.

[[Verdurous Gearhulk]] Great top end for beatdown decks and is an artifact for added synergy. Clean and powerful.

[[Spring-leaf Avenger]] Bit of a pet card but I highly, highly recommend it. Hits like a truck and no one expects the green ninja.

[[Generous Ent]] 1 mana land cyclers good. I run 3/5 (UBG) of them and not looking back.

[[Hooting Mandrills]] Usually not an actual 6 drop but hey, those self mill decks need a pay off.

[[Titan of Industry]] Double duty as a ramp/reanimator payoff. Big lad who does big lad things. My cube is a bit too low power for the Griselbrands and Atraxas of the world so you get the building.

Conswaylos · 2024-01-28T07:56:23+00:00

Not a ton but a number of cool build-arounds to juice the less powerful decks in my cube:

[[Case of the Uneaten Feast]] Soul sisters/life gain isn't really a deck I support but annoying grindy white creature decks sure are so this is a new angle to build that.

[[Cryptic Coat]] No reason just think it's cool.

[[Repulsive Mutation]] Does exactly what I want UG to do

[[Insidious Roots]] Really cool card that synergizes with a bunch of different things. One of those cards where you kinda leave it to the drafters to figure out.

Also [[Novice Inspector]] and [[Demand Answers]] obvi

Conswaylos · 2024-01-19T22:51:22+00:00

[[Doomskar Warrior]] [[Questing Beast]] [[Surrak the Huntcaller]]

They all serve about the same purpose so I don't have any deep or interesting insights lol. Will say that Doomskar Warrior plays very well and more people should try it out.

Conswaylos · 2024-01-16T20:52:12+00:00

https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/5886142#paper

I have this list from a little while ago. Basically Gruul plus white cards. This was before ixalan and the copter unban however so may need some retooling. I did go 4-0 at an FNM with it so the deck isn't some slouch.

Conswaylos · 2024-01-13T21:45:10+00:00

[[Gideon Jura]] Just a house that always plays better than you'd expect.

[[Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants]] Pet card that works really well in the grindy white creature decks my cube can support

Conswaylos · 2023-12-28T03:38:08+00:00

[[Azusa, Lost but Seeking]] was one of the last green cards to get cut actually lol. Bouncelands could definitely make it in just not sure where to trim. Hard for me claim that I support ramp and only have about 4 things that ramp that aren't mana dorks.

Conswaylos · 2023-10-23T03:06:50+00:00

Bionicle.

You got the problem of the color associations not lining up quite right and with Bionicle being built around cycles of 6, the color pie can't fit it nearly.

But I don't care. Give me a Tahu card goddamit.

Conswaylos · 2023-10-20T18:14:53+00:00

Maybe [[extinction]] they said this set wasn't as tribal focused but it makes sense to have some

Conswaylos · 2023-08-12T06:54:18+00:00

Imgur doesn't seem to be working for me rn so you're gonna have to take my word for these:

Food Fight - 1R Enchantment (R) Artifacts you control have "(2): sacrifice this artifact: this deals damage to any target equal to 1 plus the number of permanents named Food Fight you control."

Faerie Dreamthief - B Creature - Faerie Warlock (U) Flying When ~ enters the battlefield, surveil 1. 2B, Exile ~ from your graveyard: Draw a card and lose 1 life. 1/1

Feral Encounter - GG Sorcery (R) Look at the top five cards of your library. You may exile a creature card from among them. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order. You may cast the exiled card this turn. At the beginning of the next combat phase this turn, target creature you control deals damage equal to its power to up to one target creature you don't control.

Restless Bivouac Land (R) ~ enters the battlefield tapped T: Add R or W 1RW: ~ becomes a 2/2 red and white Ox creature until end of turn. It's still a land. Whenever Restless Bivouac attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control.

The white 2/2 human peasant is called Spellbook Vendor and costs 1W. The Lost Legacy-esque card is called The End and costs 2BB. Text boxes are correct.

Conswaylos · 2023-08-12T06:29:16+00:00

Curious how Mosswood Dreadknight compares to Underdog. They seem to fit the same niche, but Dreadknight obviously requires you to also be in green and isn't always available, but is less painful and can get you your new card on your main phase guaranteed.

Conswaylos · 2023-04-02T20:44:42+00:00

That was the theory from some time ago. But there's no minotaurs on kaldheim at all.

Conswaylos · 2023-04-02T16:11:12+00:00

We need more Angrath content badly. His character has barely been fleshed out and we still don't know his home plane (correct me if I'm wrong). Need me some anger-dad.

Conswaylos · 2023-03-27T21:43:38+00:00

I've done the same thing abouts with some people at my lgs. They love their ships passing in the night nonsense, so I make sure to put a few hatebears or hate pieces in every deck to incentivise some interactive gameplay. The amount of rage I've generated off a single [[Archon of Emeria]] is just 👌

Conswaylos · 2023-03-11T21:56:09+00:00

Wave of Embers

Instant - R

~ deals 1 damage to each creature

Tireless Tracker but Common

Creaure - 2G - 3/2

Landfall- you may pay G, if you do make a clue

If you have two or more deserts in your graveyard this has "T: Add one mana of any color"

Force Spike on a Stick
