MTG Salvation

Thanks for the comparison results, definitely a good starting point. Looking forward to more suggestions from the rest of the cube community.

Thanks again for the feedback, I'll go through by color and list either what I want to add in or want I think should be replaced along with potential cuts for the cards:
{Out}--->{In}
White
Goldmeadow Harrier --> Mother of Runes
Steppe Lynx--> Isamaru, Hound of Konda
Stonecloaker--> Soltari Champion
Blue
Snap-->Ponder
Opportunity -->Cryptic Command
Mind Control -->Control Magic
Draining Whelk -->Man-o'-War
Black
Blind Creeper-->Vampire Lacerator
Fleshbag Marauder-->Carnophage
Exhume-->Phyrexian Arena
Green
Genesis Wave-->Plow Under
Wolfbriar Elemental-->Blastoderm
Centaur Glade-->Sylvan Library
Multi
Dimir Guildmage-->Psychatog
Rakdos Guildmage-->Murderous Redcap
Artifacts
Chalice of the Void-->Karn Liberated
Lands
Mystifying Maze-->Maze of Ith
Buried Ruin-->City of Brass

I'd also consider shrinking down the Guild sections to expand the colored sections, but am unsure of what to cut and how low to go, as some guilds have more power cards than others.

Thanks for the suggestions, and yes the black changes were backwards (whoops). What cuts would you recommend instead of Lynx and for cutting the guild sections down to 8 each?

For the Lynx, I'd cut Sunblast Angel or White Sun's Zenith.

Guild Cuts:

WU: Mystic Gate, Teferi's Moat
WB: Debtor's Knell (cut Angel of Despair for Desolation Angel and Tidehollow Sculler for Stillmoon Cavalier; consider cutting Fetid Heath for Caves of Koilos)
WR: Spitemare (cut Rugged Prairie for Battlefield Forge)
WG: Wooded Bastion, Selesnya Guildmage
UB: Sunken Ruins, Dimir Guildmage
UR: Niv-Mizzet or Izzet Chronarch (probably Niv)
UG: Cold-Eyed Selkie, Spitting Image, add Trygon Predator
BR: Graven Cairns, Rakdos Guildmage
BG: Putrid Leech or Spiritmonger depending on whether BG decks are usually aggro or midrange; if aggro, cut Twilight Mire for Llanowar Wastes
RG: Fire-Lit Thicket, Firespout, Boggart Ram-Gang, add Stormbind

Thanks for the great suggestions rant. As for the 15 opened slots, my first guess would be to give each color 3 more cards which would start by adding back in my proposed cuts listed above). I'm open to suggestions for red additions as I didn't have any changes proposed at the time.

Eidolon's suggestions are all great.

Updated the cube as it has gone through a lot of changes that I didn't properly log, looking for feedback as listed in the now original post.

The changelog in the OP is blank.

Here's a few things that stick out to me on a quick glance:

Green

-I think you should find a way to include Woodfall Primus and Hornet Queen in your green section. I think you're running a couple of worse 5+CC creatures that are weaker than those two.
-I think you could find a replacement for Krosan Grip. Countermagic in cube isn't as oppressive as it is in Legacy.

Guild

-There are a couple of cards that I consider staples that you're not running--Loam Lion, Geist of Saint Traft, Slayers' Stronghold.

Thanks for the suggestions hoodwink. What guild cards would you cut to fit in your suggestions? I'm thinking it would be Wilt-Leaf liege, Duergar Hedgemage and Plumeveil. As for the change log I left it blank as I forgot all the changes from my old unpowered list to my current list, so the change log will be from this point forward.

Hey buddy, I made the switch from Wilt-Leaf Liege a long time ago and it was for the best. I think there are many GW cards better than it (Sigarda, Sledge, and maybe even Loxodon Hierarch). I would look to swap it for Loam Lion.

I think the addition of Geist is really up to you. Some people have found great success with it, whereas others just don't have their cubes set up to take full advantage of it. I would probably cut Plumeveil regardless, but if you find that Geist isn't fitting the bill you could try out Grand Arbiter Augustin IV.

I think a straight swap of Duergar Hedge-Mage for Slayer's Stronghold is advisable. Good pickups on all three changes.

Here's some other multicolour food for thought: Spiritmonger hasn't been as good as I want him to be recently. What do you think about Putrid Leech in his spot? Also, I used to be a big fan of Agony Warp, but I recently changed it for Recoil and I found it had a bigger impact on the game in many times where I cast it.

I also agree with Hoodwink's eval on the green cards. At a cube your size, Wolfbriar Elemental is often not good enough. I might want to change this for Woodfall Primus and then maybe Avenger of Zendikar for Hornet Queen. I can't say enough good things about that card, especially when it gets reanimated in a Recurring Nightmare deck turn three

Yea, I agree with all those changes you listed, especially after watching you 4-0 with the hornet queen and recurring nightmare tricks

To be fair, Strip Mining you turn one when you kept a one-lander probably didn't help

What are your potential changes for M13? Have you looked into the set much?

I suggest Traft because it seems that you're trying to support blue tempo a bit, and you could make a case for him being the best blue tempo creature around.

Here are some more potential additions your cube might benefit from:

Lone Missionary
Silverblade Paladin
Seal of Cleansing

Waterfront Bouncer
Man-'o-War (especially since you're running Aether Adept)
Tamiyo, the Moon Sage

Dark Ritual

Gorilla Shaman
Chandra's Phoenix
Keldon Vandals
Zealous Conscripts
Reckless Charge
Pyroclasm

Wild Mongrel
Viridian Shaman
Vengevine
Bramblecrush

City of Brass
Grand Coliseum

You also might want to run the full suite of green aggro 1-drops, and look into supporting the artifact deck more fully, since you're halfway there with both archetypes.

Thanks for all the suggestions hoodwink. Some proposed changes (Including M13) once I get the cards would look like:
In --> Out
White
Ajani, Caller of the Pride-->White Sun's Zenith
Seal of Cleansing-->Decree of Justice
Lone Missionary-->Fiend Hunter
Blue
Waterfront Bouncer-->Merfolk Looter
Willbender-->Ludevic's Test Subject
Man-o'-War-->Calcite Snapper
Augur of Bolas-->Faerie Conclave
Talrand, Sky Summoner-->Thieving Magpie
Tamiyo, the Moon Sage-->Jace, Memory Adept
Black
Dark Ritual-->Slaughter Pact
Sewer Nemesis-->Gatekeeper of Malakir
Liliana if the Dark Realms -->Sorin Markov
Living Death-->Black Sun's Zenith
Red
Pyroclasm-->Volcanic Fallout
Searing Spear-->Searing Blaze
Flames of the Firebrand-->Banefire
Zealous Conscripts-->Word of Seizing
Hellrider-->Urabrask the Hidden
Chandra's Pheonix-->Hell's Thunder
Gorilla Shaman-->Ball Lightning
Green
Yeva, Nature's Herald-->Blastoderm
Woodfall Primus-->Wolfbriar Elemental
Hornet Queen-->Avenger of Zendikar
Vengevine-->Wolfir Avenger
Thragtusk-->Obstinate Baloth
Multi
Geist of Saint Traft-->Plumeveil
Slayer's Stronghold-->Duergar Hedge-mage
Loam Lion-->Wilt-Leaf Liege
Colorless
Tangle Wire-->Brittle Effigy
City of Brass-->Perilous Myr
Grand Coliseum-->Loxodon Warhammer

As for the green 1-drops, I'm trying to keep green a more ramp/midrange color, but if it seems like people prefer the aggro route I'll switch it over. For the artifact theme, what cards would you add, the 2 Tezzerets?

I wouldn't cut Faerie Conclave, and I wouldn't add Auger of Bolas. The rest of that update would be pretty good though.

My understanding of the artifact deck is that you should be running the Tezzerets, Tolarian Academy, Trinket Mage, and all of the fringe-y low-cc artifacts that you're already running. Plus you might want to find space for Baleful Strix. I don't support it myself, so you might want to consult wtwlf's thread for some info (particularly on his post explaining his rise to 450).

As far as green aggro is concerned, my overall feeling is that you should either support it, or don't. I said you ought to consider the green aggro suite because you're already running green aggro cards like Loam Lion, Kird Ape, Edric, Strangleroot Geist, and Rancor. It's your cube and there isn't a wrong answer to the question, but if you and your group find that those cards are ending up predominantly in sideboards, you should add in the 1-drops, or find some midrange/control cards to replace them (Sigarda for Loam Lion, say, or Huntmaster of the Fells for Kird Ape).

S the following changes have been made:
In --> Out
Black
Dark Ritual-->Slaughter Pact
Living Death-->Black Sun's Zenith
Red
Pyroclasm-->Volcanic Fallout
Green
Bramblecrush-->Overrun
Multi
Putrid Leech-->Spiritmonger
Loam Lion-->Wilt-Leaf Liege

Also, I'm looking to cut Genesis Wave and unsure if I should look for another spell or creature for the slot. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I like most of that, but I'd be tempted to keep BSZ. I'd cut Nether Void, Liliana Vess, or (especially) Sign in Blood first. I prefer Spiritmonger to Putrid Leech, but that's because BG is almost always midrange or ramp in my drafts. If it goes aggro for you a lot, Leech is better.

If I were you, I'd cut Harmonize and Genesis Wave. In exchange, I'd bring in some mix of (in order of preference) Viridian Shaman, Natural Order, Phantom Centaur, Vines of the Vastwood, Berserk, Mire Boa, and Albino Troll. I think you should cut one fatty as well, namely Wolfbriar Elemental.

I recommend swapping out Terastodon for Woodfall Primus.

Made some big changes over the weekend, including almost all of my M13 changes

In --> Out
White
Ajani, Caller of the Pride-->White Sun's Zenith
Seal of Cleansing-->Decree of Justice
Lone Missionary-->Fiend Hunter
Blue
Waterfront Bouncer-->Merfolk Looter
Willbender-->Ludevic's Test Subject
Man-o'-War-->Calcite Snapper
Talrand, Sky Summoner-->Thieving Magpie
Tamiyo, the Moon Sage-->Jace, Memory Adept
Black
Sewer Nemesis-->Gatekeeper of Malakir

Red
Searing Spear-->Searing Blaze
Flames of the Firebrand-->Banefire
Zealous Conscripts-->Word of Seizing
Hellrider-->Urabrask the Hidden
Chandra's Pheonix-->Hell's Thunder
Gorilla Shaman-->Ball Lightning
Green
Yeva, Nature's Herald-->Blastoderm
Woodfall Primus-->Wolfbriar Elemental
Hornet Queen-->Avenger of Zendikar
Thragtusk-->Obstinate Baloth
Wolfir Silverheart-->Genesis Wave
Multi
Geist of Saint Traft-->Plumeveil
Slayer's Stronghold-->Duergar Hedge-mage
Colorless
Tangle Wire-->Brittle Effigy
Grand Coliseum-->Loxodon Warhammer


Some upcoming changes once I acquire the cards:
Liliana if the Dark Realms -->Sorin Markov
City of Brass-->Perilous Myr
Vengevine-->Wolfir Avenger
Natural Order-->Harmonize

and eidolon, so far in testing Living Death has been going good, but I'd like to bring in the Zenith if you see a cut for it (rant suggested Sign in Blood). I also think you got the other change backwards, as I added in Pyroclasm.

I like almost all of those changes. Great job!

My one quibble is that I don't think Talrand is good enough. I mean, he's OK. I just think games where you will get your mana's worth are going to be the exception. Although Thieving Magpie has gotten outclassed, I think I prefer it to the Sky Summoner.

Cheers,

Just a small update with new cars and to help black as an aggro color with some additional single black 2 drops.

In --> Out
Black
Knight of Infamy-->Bane of the Living
Vampire Interloper-->Sign in Blood
Liliana of the Dark Realms-->Liliana Vess
Black Sun's Zenith-->Sorin Markov
Green
Natural Order-->Harmonize

I want to give LotDR a try to see how the players I play with value her. If she doesn't see much play I will probably bring back Bane.

I'd keep Bane of the Living rather than adding Black Sun's Zenith or I'd cut Bloodgift Demon to keep the Bane.

Cheers,

Just picked up a promo Tradewind Rider and a Volrath's Stronghold and looknig for cuts. My thoughts are Talrand, Sky Summoner and Liliana of the Dark Realms. Any other suggestions?
