Multicolored Spells: 60
Dual, Tri, and Fetch Lands: 30
Rainbow Lands: 8
Multicolored Percentage: 12.5%
Multicolored Percentage (With dual and tri Lands): 20.8%
I know I'm much higher on this than most cubes for two reasons. My drafts love two things: Drafting 3+ color decks and prefer that Gold cards be the last picked cards often. The first is pretty simple to explain, my drafter I draft with love Khans and Alara Drafts and love making multicolored drafts a thing so I support thier endeavors as much as able without eliminating mono or dual colors decks.
The second point is more complicated but it has become something that my drafters have noted that they like how powerful multicolored cards are in peasant but often like to use the gold cards that exist in the last 4 picks to help dictate what color pairs might be open in the draft. While its not a perfect signal my drafters love it and who am I to snub thier fun.
Farhaven Elf > Aftermath Analyst: a cut I had been delaying making due to my altered version of the elf but I love playing Strip Mine control in cubes and this allows for that to exist easier.
Spiritmonger > Insidious Roots: I love the Monger but it came to Peasant a tad too late and the roots allows for the reintroduction of Tortured Existence to the cube which is an all-time favorite of myself and a few of my drafters.
two-handed Axe > Demand Answers: Card often failed to make lists but was a key card in the Gruul Kiln Fiend blitz deck but i haven't had anyone draft that in several drafts.
Ominous Seas > Novice Inspector: I moved where [card]Judge's Familiar was located as I realized my hybrids were out of balance and so this got added as I needed a white card and I love inspector already in the cube.
Environmental Sciences > Escape Tunnel: I kept Sciences as a way to help fix mana in multicolored decks but this also works for that without being a spell.
1. Artisan of Kozilek
2. Sphinx of the guildpact
3. Meteor Golem
4. Clay Golem
5. Walking Skyscrapper
I play Tinker in my cube and it's often a key deck in drafts so Sphinx and Meteor often rank higher by my drafters but Artisan and Bane of Bala Ged are the top two reanimator targets in colorless.
The combo of Witherbloom and Chain of Smog I fully understand is a preference. I'm more so just surprised I'm the only one running it. That said I do run 6 gold slots for my cube so I do have more space for it.
So In my examinations of my cube vs the average some cool things showed up for me. I have 16 unique cards compared to everyone else in my list. Some of them are kind of boggling that I'm the only one playing them and others I fully understand why I'm the only one.
I find kind of crazy others aren't running are Channel and xiahou Dun, the one-eyed but most of mine here are either me just not letting go of nostalgia or just not liking the replacement that others replaced them with. The chain of smog combo is one I think its one that feels weird no one else is running it but I understand it feels out of place in the color combo often but I was surprised I was the only one running it.
Overall 70% of my cubes cards are share but its cool to see while the number is high I still have so many outliers in a 460 sized cube.
It actually was downshifted in the Italian/french Renaissance set.
Here is the ranking I have on the ones I run:
Inquisition of Kozilek
Hymn to Tourach
Deep-cavern Bat
Duress
Kitesail Freebooter
Hypnotic Specter
Go Blank
Chain of Smog
Notes: IoK only ranks higher than Hymn because of the potential of disruption on turn 1.
Same Need no, Want? who am I to stop it for 1-2 drafts.
Sibylline Soothsayer2R
Creature — Human Warlock
Temporal Foresight — When Sibylline Soothsayer enters the battlefield, reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a nonland card with mana value 3 or greater. Exile that card with three time counters on it. If it doesn’t have suspend, it gains suspend. Put the rest of the revealed cards on the bottom of your library in a random order.
3/2
Soothsayer is interesting as either with blink or some top deck manipulation this could be a really cool effect for cubes.
Iraxxa, Empress of Mars 2RR
Legendary Creature - Alien Warrior
Trample
Battle cry
Paradox - Whenever you cast a spell from anywhere other than your hand, create a 2/2 red Alien Warrior creaturetoken.
5/4
While Iraxxa feels like the second ability isn't the easiest to trigger I still love the 5/4 for 4 with trample and Battlecry as that is a lot of power with an occasional token creator.
Star Whale 6UU
creature - alien whale
flying vigilance
other creatures you control have ward 2.
suspend 6 - 1U
8/8
Edit: Realized I forgot to post the card as it hasn't been uploaded yet.
Atraxi Warden 4WW
creature - alien eye
when Atraxi Warden enters the battlefield, exile up to one target tapped creature. suspend 5 - 1W
6/6
