MTG Salvation

I really don't feel the need to have a walker in each color combo. I would like a Natural Order target in Simic but if Simic Sky Swallower and Sagu Mauler haven't stood the test of time in my cube, I don't know what else would.

I'd like a Vindicate strapped to a 2/1 for 4-5 mana, but that's probably ridiculous.

Cheers,

Un-wishlist (For Unstable)
-A card that replicates power but uses booster packs. (Like an ancestral recall that nabs random cards from a pack)

Pack or Picktion:

Open a booster, choose 5 cards and put them into two piles, target opponent chooses one to put in your hand and one to your GY.

I know some of these won't happen cause they will be too good for standard, but... It's christmas, a kid can dream.

1)More support for Fastbond/lands style decks.

2)Enough payoff cards to make artifact agro a sub archetype worth supporting.

3)Reality smasher - artifact.

4)WW Glorious Anthem

5)3 mana or less card in Boros that can generate card advantage. IE 1WR OutpostSiege(Khans mode). RW LandTax that can fetch Non basic lands too

6)More cubeable X spells. Walking ballista was perfect.

7)More cubeable flashback spells, or graveyard value payoff cards.

8)1G Instant, Mill 3, Return any permanent from graveyard to hand.

9)More waste mana/eldrazi payoff cards to enable an eldrazi subtheme deck, ideally enough to make eldrazi temple a cubeable card.

10)Another "cheat big creatures into play" cubeable card, preferably in temur colors.

11)Another powerful Simic card, preferably something that works well with fastbond/courser/oracle. Reason//Believe but slightly better?

12)A couple huge payoff cards to support fires of yavimaya style decks.
GR 2/3 All creatures you control have haste, Sacrifice to add 2 colorless mana to your mana pool, that mana may only be spent on creatures. Give that creature haste. Works great with eureka/tooth and nail, but also a solid beatdown creature.

13) An excellent multi purpose red removal spell. Aftermath card Burn//In Hell
Burn -1R Sorcery Deal 2 damage to target creature or planeswalker
In Hell 2R - Sorcery Deal 4 damage to target creature or planeswalker, if that creature would die this turn, exile it.

14) Another 2 mana spells matter payoff card. Preferably for 1R. Playable in Red agro with lots of burn. Excellent in UR with cantrips/counters + burn.

I'm still hoping for some of the usual suspects:

1. Good red utility land
2. Good black 5 cmc creature
3. Another cube worthy blue 1 drop creature
5. less cards that produce new types of tokens

E: List changed and re-posted below.

Here's my updated list for 2018:

• A white Pia and Kiran Nalaar/Whirler Rogue variant.
• A cubeable Disenchant on legs in white.
• Another great 5cc white noncreature spell.
• Another above-average black 5cc creature.
• More upgraded 2/1 creatures for R.
• More good 2/1 creatures for G.
• A hybrid 2-power 1-drop for .
• Another Braids, Cabal Minion/Smokestack effect.
• Another Young Pyromancer/Monastery Mentor effect.
• Another good Tinker target.
• Finish the Talisman cycle.
• GU and UR cycling duals.
• A 5th staple fixing cycle (Legendary Duals/Snow Duals).

All great, although with only three cards per guild, I can't imagine how good the Orzhov hybrid would have to be to crack that section in my cube. For larger cubes, it would awesome.

I want the whole cycle of Horizon Canopy style lands.

My list last year was a bit odd. I was working on some rather niche projects. Here's this year:

• A blue one-drop mana dork (Ex: Curious Homunculus, Renowned Weaponsmith, Apprentice Wizard, Benthic Explorers)
• Enemy colored versions of the Mirage (Bad River) fetches, as well as BFZ duals and cycling duals.
• A land (or cycle) that likes being in the graveyard.
• Hybrid mana.
• Wedge colors.
• A staple RWUGB card for those interested (not just some big, dumb creature).
• More red control.
• A Smokestack-like effect.
• A decent planeswalker that costs less than three (preferably Tibalt 2.0).
• Playable hand disruption.
• Three mana land destruction.
• A playable green card advantage spell between Oath of Nissa and Harmonize on the mana curve.

Perhaps red control is missing from my cube more than it is missing in general.

I love World Queller, but that is only the beginning.

I really want a new target for a big red archetype I've been working on. A 7+ cmc red artifact creature would be the absolute dream. Also a new 4 cmc white wrath with some additional clause to replace Day of Judgment since it bugs me running it alongside the "strictly better" Wrath of God. Counting on you, Commander 2018.

And keep those red 1 drops coming, still haven't pushed Jackal Pup out yet.

Here's my updated list for 2018:

• A hybrid 2-power 1-drop for .

I want this as well, preferably a zombie soldier with upside

Here's my updated list for 2018 (and updated for 405):

• A cubeable Disenchant on legs in white.
• Another great 5cc white noncreature spell.
• A black Siege-Gang Commander/Deranged Hermit variant.
• More upgraded 2/1 creatures for R.
• Another Braids, Cabal Minion/Smokestack effect.
• Another Young Pyromancer/Monastery Mentor effect.
• Another good colorless Tinker target.

I'm still looking for a blue 5 to go with Mulldrifter, which isn't really a 5. Meloku feels so outclassed these days. Controversial opinion, I know.
Enemy Talismans would be great.
Another big artifact, maybe not even a creature, for fun. Something fun like Mindslaver but bigger.
A red land worth playing. Hanweir Battlements and Vance's Blasting Cannons didn't quite get there.
A black creature with lifelink that isn't Nighthawk or Liliana.
New options in Selesenya, Orhov, Golgari, Izzet, and Boros, which have been stagnant in small cubes for some time. Make us make hard choices, like many of us have in Azorius and Dimir recently.
Stretch time: some variant of Collapsing Plane, a custom card in Adam's kyoob that slots nicely into the Purphoros decks. Basically some upgrade to Goblin Bombardment, which I love, but wish were a little more exciting.
Some black 4 mana noncreature spell to replace my Nether Void proxy. I'm not in love with the card, although it's very good at the one thing it does. Maybe a 4 mana walker, like black gets its Mind Sculptor / Torch of Defiance variant?
A 4-5 mana black token maker. Some version of Pia and Kiran / Whirler Rogue or Angel of Invention / Siege-Gang Commander would be lovely.
Legendary dual lands in an EDH product or something.

It seems like there are generally two camps: Meloku still absurd; Meloku is outclassed. I fall into the latter, but I can understand that--considering us as people can only play so many games--that it can play like it's absurd.

I’ll add a few to the wishlist that others may or may not have not mentioned:


DEAR SANTA,
I’ve been a good boy this year. Please bring for me:

• A white 4 that fits really well in token decks AND Moat decks.
• A fantastic blue 5-drop creature.
• A Golgari hybrid 2 power 1-drop. (Think Odious Trow with an extra power!)
• A rainbow type fixer land that ETB untapped that’s good for aggro. Needs to be better than Aether Hub.

Yours truly with cookies and milk,

B8R

-A combat trick

I can really relate to this one. I wonder if WoTC are self aware that all of their combat tricks see NO play in general constructed 60 card decks. I look forward to the day that a combat trick would be a viable choice in a midrange style deck. Makes me wonder what the floor is for a card like this to be playable.


Would Giant growth with draw a card stapled onto it be good enough for cube? Or would it still be terrible considering it can be blown out to instant speed removal?

All the ones that are fringe playable are either 0-mana or are capable of generating situational card advantage. So a cantripping one would probably be the route we need to go in order to get that effect into the cube, yes.

2 Colorless Artifact,
