MTG Salvation

I'd keep Flesh Carver over Order of Midnight, Custodi Lich, Opposition Agent, or any of the Lilianas aside from LotV.

Rest looks good.

Cheers,
rant

I like Order of Midnight and LtLH a little more, but have no specific attachment to Opposition Agent.

Thanks!

Those seem like great changes!

Cards I will miss from your list:

Adanto Vanguard
Nighthawk Scavenger
Rampaging Ferocidon

I love almost all the new additions. The one that I’ll keep my eye on and personally have never tried is Hero of Precinct One.

I'll definitely miss the Ferocidon and the Vanguard as well. I hadn't considered Hero of Precinct One, but I really wanted to try out General Ferrous Rokiric, and someone in a cube Discord suggested I also try adding Hero alongside it. I'm interested to see how it plays, although the roof on it is definitely lower than on the General.

Here are my STX, C21 and MH2 changes, plus some additional changes I've made in the process! I thought I'd posted my STX changes, but apparently only edited them into my opening post:

Adanto Vanguard -> Hero of Precinct One
Mirror Entity -> Skyclave Apparition
Spectral Procession -> Elite Spellbinder

Forbid -> Lose Focus

Black:
Scrapheap Scrounger -> Dauthi Voidwalker
Nullpriest of Oblivion -> Tourach, Dread Cantor
Nighthawk Scavenger -> Sedgemoor Witch

Hero's Downfall -> Persist
Oona's Prowler -> Unmarked Grave


Red:
Jackal Pup -> Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer
Embereth Shieldbreaker -> Flametongue Yearling
Rampaging Ferocidon -> Laelia, the Blade Reforged
Siege-Gang Commander -> Fury

Green:
Experiment One -> Avacyn's Pilgrim
Mayor of Avabruck -> Boreal Druid
Pelt Collector -> Elves of Deep Shadow
Great Oak Guardian -> Ignoble Hierarch
Oracle of Mul Daya -> Abundant Harvest
Acidic Slime -> Pest Infestation

Multicolor:
Hostage Taker -> Master of Death
Falkenrath Aristocrat -> Fire Covenant
Corpse Knight -> Damn
Tidehollow Sculler -> Vanishing Verse
Fire//Ice -> Prismari Command
Lotleth Troll -> Grist, the Hunger Tide
Boros Charm -> Rip Apart
Nahiri, the Harbinger -> Flamescroll Celebrant -> General Ferrous Rokiric
Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign -> Dakkon, Shadow Slayer

and replicate means your opponent can't just respond back with their counter

I think this doesn't beat other counterspells right? b/c you can only replicate when you cast it? maybe I'm missing something.

You can only replicate when you cast it, but they'll have to counter each of the copies individually or pay for them.

Wow. This is definitely playable, but blue cuts are the worst.

I'm skeptical of this one, but happy others are excited. Finding room for expensive equipment is tough, and this doesn't stabilizes against aggro and doesn't have a reasonable expectation of a casting mode.

It's definitely a cool card, but I think it'll end up missing for me.

Damn BB
Sorcery (R)
Destroy target creature. A creature destroyed this way can't be regenerated.
Overload 2WW

Orzhov removal that's also a wrath? The double-pips in two different colors is a little awkward, but this is pretty much a strictly better Wrath of God, as it has a 2-mana mode.

This seems solid. I don't really see it dying to a token as a bad thing? My Dimir decks are probably more likely to want to have this die and recur it for another trigger.

Solitude 3WW
Creature — Elemental Incarnation (M)
Flash
Lifelink
When Solitude enters the battlefield, exile up to one other target creature. That creature's controller gains life equal to its power.
Evoke—Exile a white card from your hand.
3/2

Seems great! Free emergency swords, or a 3/2 for 5 that Swords and has lifelink. Pretty easy include for me. Not quite at Grief levels, but above Subtlety for sure.

Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer R
Legendary Creature - Monkey Pirate (M)
Whenever Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer deals combat damage to a player, create a Treasure token and exile the top card of that player's library. Until end of turn, you may play that card.
Dash 1R
2/1

Nothing much to say other than INSANE.

EDIT: The left side is not an actual printed version - it's just Amazonian's signature MS paint mockup.

Territorial Kavu RG
Creature - Kavu (R)
Domain - Territorial Kavu's power and toughness are each equal to the number of basic land types among lands you control.
Whenever Territorial Kavu attacks, choose one -
*Discard a card. If you do, draw a card.
*Exile up to one target card from a graveyard.
*/*

Card seems pretty nuts for 2 mana, although the value will vary based on the fixing available in your cube/the deck it ends up in. Excited to slot this in for testing and hoping it goes well.

Yeah, this is definitely closer to those effects, but I run Dance of the Dead already, and I'm happy to have another low-cost reanimation spell, even with some hoops, so it'll make it into the cube for me. Agreed on your comparison, though.

This definitely has some misses, but I think it's still worth running for density. Excited to add this alongside Unmarked Grave for some more redundancy.

It isn't quite Hinder, though. It's Aether Gust for creatures and planeswalkers, since the owner of the spell chooses where it goes. I still think it's quite strong, and likely makes the cut, but I'd be much higher on it if you got to choose where it went.

EDIT: It does delay Thrun/Carnage Tyrant like Venser does, though, so that is a plus.
