Mutlicolor Philosophy: Cards are considered to be multicolor if they strongly encourage you to be playing a multicolor deck. For example, Murderous Redcap is not considered multicolored since a deck with either red or black can reliably play it, but Ashenmoor Gorger is considered multicolored, since it's cost restriction is difficult enough that you probably need to be in black and red to effectively cast it.

I had a peasant modern cube myself, and perhaps instead of double Putrefy maybe Golgari Guildmage or Necrogenesis?

I'm sure this cube is pretty far buried, but since I use this to keep my cube information up to date, I figured I'd post reasons for the newest update, which includes Modern Masters and M14.

-Knight of Glory
+Banisher Priest

I don't know if the cube needs two Fiend Hunters, but Banisher Priest seems like a powerful addition. Meanwhile, I haven't been impressed by Knight of Glory. Most decks that would want to play Knight of Glory like attacking with all their creatures, not just one. I find that I'd rather just have Youthful Knight almost every time. Plus, I don't like protection in the cube since its useless in many match-ups except for when it completely hoses certain decks. Protection just hasn't been fun in my experience, so its coming out. Note that Knight of Infamy is staying in because I don't have anything to replace it with at the moment.

-Shepard of the Lost
+Feudkiller's Verdict

Shepard has been great, but I think Shepherd and Serra Angel in the cube is a little redundant, and Feudkiller's Verdict is a much more interesting and different white finisher. I admit I'm a little skeptical about this card, but I'll be giving it a shot.

-Court Street Denizen
+Niblis of the Urn

Court Street has some cute interactions with blinking and token shenanigans, but sometimes it just can't tap things down when you need it to. Meanwhile, the Niblis taps things down much more reliably. He had been on my watch list for a while, and seeing Master of Diversions work in M14 made me want to give Niblis a shot. I think Niblis is better than the Master since it has evasion, but I may be wrong here.

-Domestification
+Opportunity

Ok, this may be a controversial change, but since Domestification was bumped up to rare, I am removing it. I don't play Loxodon Warhammer because it has been printed as a rare since it has been printed as an uncommon, and clearly Wizard's considers its effect to be rare, so it doesn't belong in a Peasant Cube. It is only fair to treat Domestification the same way. With Mind Control and Persuasion still around, I don't think it'll be missed too much. Meanwhile, Opportunity has been a beast in M14 limited for me, and I'm excited for it to get a trial run in the cube.

-Pestermite
+Warden of Evos Isle

The Favorable Winds skies deck has actually been fairly popular. It seems to get drafted a lot, so I figured I'd give it another piece of support. I'm not sure if he'll stay for too long, but I figured I'd give him a shot.

-Goblin Cohort
+Mogg Flunkies

I wanted to add a red card that supported aggro but wasn't burn, so I added in Goblin Cohort. He's not my favorite card and I don't think he's gotten too much play, so I'm going to try the Flunkies is in place. Since most decks have plenty of removal, I'm worried about the Flunkies getting shut down, but we'll see how it goes.

-Dragonsoul Knight
+Young Pyromancer

I wanted Dragonsoul Knight to work so badly. I has hoping it would encourage a 5-color deck to be played. But, it almost always was picked last, and no one ever played it, so I'm taking it out. Meanwhile, I'm very excited to see what Young Pyromancer will add.

-Garruk's Companion
+Kalonian Tusker

A pretty obvious improvement. Trample isn't two relevant with 3 power, but 2 toughness really hurt the Companion.

-Incremental Growth
+Masked Admirers

I rarely see Incremental Growth played, and I think there are better ways to pump creatures in green (Druid's Familiar and Overrun come to mind). Meanwhile, the Admirers seems like a great way for green decks to get more steam.

-Avacyn's Pilgrim
+Elvish Mystic

I've been trying to balance out the mullticolor sections, and I like the Mystic more than the Pilgrim since I count both as a "Green" card and the Mystic doesn't help encourage Selesnya over any other color pair.

-Pilgrim's Eye
-Viridian Claw
+Isochron Scepter
+Epochrasite

The fixing in the cube is much better than it was in it's original form (when I didn't run Karoos), which makes the Pilgrim's Eye much worse. Also, I think there was one too many equipment in the cube, so the claw is coming out. Meanwhile, I'm excited to test Isochron Scepter. It has a number of targets in the cube and has potential to do ridiculous things. Also, Epcohrasite seems like a fun card to try

The only cut I'm not a fan of is Pestermite, especially since it fits in the skies theme you're trying to push. Maybe cut Latch Seeker instead due to its more restrictive casting cost?

I actually like that suggestion a lot. Thanks.

-Latch Seeker
+Pestermite
