I made a 4 or 5 person cube of cards that are weird for their color, not all of them off color per se but at least weird. I'd like to bump it up to 6 people proper for an upcoming draft of it so I need suggestions (about 40 or so more includes). I removed a few things from the original version, like Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite for balance concerns, but I am mostly relying on the format being baffling to keep it vaguely fair. Anything helps, feel free to use it or call it stupid because it is.

It should also be noted that I don't accept blue cards because it's impossible for a blue card to be off color. Blue gets everything.

Considering Natural Order, a busted ass card but look at what it could catch. You could have one game where you turn four Bartel Runeaxe.

Yeah, because blue has all the removal, artifact/enchantment/land destruction, sweepers, efficient creatures, hand disruption, and mana ramp.

Pongify, Rapid Hybridization, tempo plays... um Steal Artifact, devastation tide, cyclonic rift, cure of the swine just to name recent ones, DELVER OF SECRETS, and that really weird tide card from fallen empires. Dunno 'bout no hand disruption, but they have counterspells and whatnot, so who cares?

There are a handful of each of them, but they're low in number and inefficient compared to the in-color versions. Those are exactly what "off-color cards" are.

Cato I dont care what you think about my cube not having blue cards. It's a joke. I only want suggestions for the other colors.

Go to CubeTutor .com

Put your cube onto that website.

Then I might give input.

As for now, a list of cards like that is really hard for me to get through.

alphabetical order bears no relevance on the mechanics and relations of the cards

I can't consider enchant creatures 1 drops as they need targets

I think you mean white.

Speaking of, why Exalted?

exalted is a black mechanic which is why they later printed it on black cards.

Exalted was originally a GUW mechanic. I'd say its more GW as a mechanic than a black one.

Yes, I know they printed 3 exalted black creatures in M14. Doesn't convince me its actually a mechanic of that color.

As for your list, its in alphabetical order, which is useless, and horribly spaced. It isn't that I can't read the list, its that I refuse to try and discern anything from it.

You do know that White also had exalted in M13, right?
The exact same argument could be made for lifelink, but that's still a White keyword too.
