My ever present notes:
Treasure Cruise for Arcane Denial: I'm a huge fan of arcane denial but Im not sure cutting cruise for denial is correct.
I do love the include of Hypnotic Sprite // Mesmeric Glare over Tezzy. I'm a huge fan of the sprite so Im glad to see it.

Im not huge fan of Xathrid Necromancer but I know you are messing with human support so I understand its prevelence. One card if you are considering human support is Heirloom Blade.

White, red and green's changes are all good in my book.

I love all the multicolor changes. Only one I have comments on is leovold for tasigur. I still think tasigur should be slotted in B/G or U?B or even mono black instead as I don't like a cube with out tasigur.

Cythare · Post by **Cythare** » 3 years ago

I didn't really like many of the other options when I was looking at what to cut for Denial.

Tezzeret briefly was swapped out for Fall from Favor, but based on some others' reports that defending the monarch in blue was difficult, I decided to take the opportunity to add another low-cost creature instead of undoing the swap. I ran Hypnotic Sprite when ELD first came out as a placeholder for Brazen Borrower // Petty Theft , and it played surprisingly well.

Heirloom Blade does seem cool, but I don't really have much other tribal support. I'll keep it in mind for testing, for sure, though.

I know that we've discussed this before, but with the sole exception of Noble Hierarch because it's a mana dork, I don't like sorting cards by subsets of their color identity. It's a personal cube design choice (although Tasigur has been great).

Post by **Ulka** » 3 years ago

I know I just figured I'd raise it again once Tasigur has been cut as he still is a very solid Black beater with Delve.

Cythare · Post by **Cythare** » 3 years ago

He definitely is. I just can't justify it to myself for design aesthetic reasons. Maybe in the future if enough quality 3-color cards have been printed across all 10 combos, I can look into expanding to include 2 per shard/wedge.

As a follow-up, I cut Lodestone Golem to make room for Heirloom Blade, so we'll see how it feels.

Cythare · Post by **Cythare** » 3 years ago

Making one additional change before Kaldheim changes:

Rotting Regisaur → Order of Midnight // Alter Fate.

I want to go down one 3-drop and up one 2-drop.
