MTG Salvation

I second Char. however another one I'd love to see besides my mandatory Shivan Dragon is Imaginary Pet or Viridian Zealot. I have a lot of card i think could be shifted down

If you cant see a theme I want legendary creatures as finishers that would allow me to play karakas in the cube and be worth it.
I'd love one or two legends in each monocolor so karakas could be viable.

If you're into legend finishers, you should just ask for Gerrard Capashen. The Volvers would be sweet, but seem very unlikely. Where are they ever going to reprint triple color kicker cards?

Uhhhhh...

You know Clone was printed at uncommon right??

You can get a Loyal Sentry proxy in Abu Ja'far. It can't attack, but that isn't why you'd cube either of them. Abu probably has more upside by threatening regenerators. But no-one plays it, which is probably indicative of how much we want Loyal Sentry.

I thought we had a 'protection from creatures' proxy for Cho-Manno, Revolutionary, but it's only Beloved Chaplain, unless you count the aura versions. I think I'd prefer a 2/2 pro creatures version for 4, or cube a better defensive creature; Cho-Manna can block well and it can avoid burn, but it can't get past a 1/3, whereas a pro creature err creature could also chip in for damage.

Could Dreadbore have been printed at uncommon in MM3?

I just don't think they're into killing walkers on cards below rare. Especially because 'walkers only show up at Mythic (since the introduction of mythic).
Power-level-wise, sure. It's worse than Terminate in a most situations, especially with regards to limited, which is where rarity matters most.

Kongming, "Sleeping Dragon"

I would love to see a simple white wrath effect at uncommon. Would y'all rather have a downshifted Day of Judgement or a downshifted Fell the Mighty?

I had hopes for a 6 mana wrath in a MM product. But no way they ever, ever, curse a draftable format with a 4 or 5 mana one.

Other than something like 5 mana deal 3 to everything.

Why is Noble Hierarch rare? Aren't all mana-dorks uncommon or below?

I thought of another one today that I just love.. perhaps out of pure nostalgia or that I think it may actually be a decent card at uncommon.

Its because of the exalted. If you ever played limited with it, its bonkers.

Several mana dorks are rare,
going back to Birds in Alpha.

I have a few cards I think could be fun.

Unifying Theory
Reborn Hero
Firemane Angel
Sunblast Angel

I feel like these would be interesting and have been eclipsed in powerlevel by many uncommons

Firemane Angel is rare due to matters of complexity. I don't think they would put it at uncommon even in a Masters set.
Reborn Hero is like Bloodsoaked Champion, a recently printed card which was placed at Rare, so I don't think Wizards would downshift something so similar.
Sunblast Angel could potentially be uncommon, but a good comparison is Subjugator Angel, which is only uncommon because it's substantially weaker, so again it's unlikely that Wizards would downshift Sunblast Angel.
Unifying Theory is probably rare because it triggers off of spells any player casts, which is decently powerful. It's probably the card on this list most likely to see print at uncommon, but because it's any player the memory issues mean it would only be at uncommon in a Masters set.

Reborn Hero is vastly too small to do anything, recurring a 2/2 for 3 -- once you achieve threshold -- for double white mana just doesn't provide enough value.

Unifying Theory is somehow vastly worse, it's ten mana and five spells cast to become Tidings AND it lets your opponent keep up.

Sunblast Angel does just seem insanely good. The Boros angel was discussed recently (in this thread? somewhere) and it's definitely not GREAT but it sure is complicated.

Mass Hysteria at common?
Ghostfire Blade at uncommon?

I was flipping throught cards for the random card of the day and found this: Veiled Crocodile. While I feel it probably wouldn't be cubed it seems like it would be fun for a cube.

Attempting to revive this thread with Mutilate. Think it would be interesting, and I don't think it would be obviously too strong, as it likely starts out as a 4 mana Infest but then can grow more powerful.

Nantuko Shade, Harbinger of the Tides, Slagstorm as better double cost cards, Slagstorm especially because it's the kind of effect any red deck wants.

I'm pretty sure Harbinger would be a sweet and not too powerful addition to peasant.

Slagstorm isn't an effect any red deck wants (red wants lava spike for 3?)
why do you openly want CC cards?

maybe I overrate flexibility, but a 3 damage board wipe for 3 is a powerful effect and having a backup of a bit of reach is useful too.

I specifically want CC cards that are a good bit more powerful than C cards to reward color consistency. I run two sets each of fetches and shocks now so I want to discourage that "five color take every fetch and bomb" mentality. This want for CC cards is probably not applicable to anyone else's cube though.

Yeah, board wipes are def powerful in peasant, I've always liked the control decks that play red for Pyroclasm and such. I would be happy with another one, as Im not a huge fan of having a second 2-damage wrath in red. Flame Wave is cool, but I'd rather something much cheaper. Saying no red deck wants that is kinda off IMO, as red is definitely capable of playing control.
