Scrawling Crawler replaces Ulamog, the Defiler

Adding: Kellan, Planar Trailblazer, Scythecat Cub
Considering: Scrawling Crawler, Ivora, Insatiable Heir

Include
Red
- Kellan, Planar Trailblazer

Green
- Scythecat Cub

Testing
Colorless
- Scrawling Crawler

Honestly a pretty weak set for the cube, but I'm happy with how red is now getting 2/1 one drop with an upside trend that we are getting.

We test a lot of cards frequently so there aren't guarantees, just the card were interested in trying.

White: Skyknight Squire, Sun Blessed Healer, Crystal Barricade
Blue: Kaito Cunning Infiltrator, Sphinx of Forgotten Lore
Black: Vengeful Bloodwitch
Red: Chandra Flameshaper, Kellan Planar Trailblazer, General Kreat the Boltbringer
Green: Quilled Greatwurm, Spinner of Souls, Scytheclaw Cub
Multicolored: Alesha who Laughs at Fate (RB), Anthem of Champions (GW), Koma World Eater (UG)
Artifacts/Colorless: Scrawling Crawler

Probably gonna cut this number down a decent amount when we go to make cuts. Not the best set for cube but an absolute banger for Standard for the future.

For 450 unpowered
Slam : Kellan, Planar Trailblazer
Maybe: Scythecat Cub
Unlikely : Scrawling Crawler

For artifact cube

maybes:
Zimone, Paradox Sculptor
Ivora, Insatiable Heir
Eager Trufflesnout

Including Scythecat Cub
Testing Spinner of Souls, Go Forth and Alesha, Who Laughs at Fate
Watching Scrawling Crawler

Was just about to make this thread myself, heh.

WHITE / BLUE / BLACK
***cricket noises***

RED
- Kellan, Planar Trailblazer

GREEN
- Scythecat Cub

OTHER
- Koma, World-Eater
- Scrawling Crawler (testing)

This looks about right to me. I want Koma to be good but I'm not sure about it. Kellan is the only slamdunk, IMO.

There is no doubt in my mind about Koma being great as long as reanimator / Natural Order / Sneak Attack / etc are supported. Just a matter of having space for it.

Yeah, Simic is kind of stacked at least as far as the top 4-5 cards go. I'm not sure Koma breaks into that; also not sure I really need another target for those decks.

Plagon, Lord of the Beach

Get rid of Goose mother for Koma and your set.

Thanks!
