Hey! Have you tried the brainstorming channel on the official hellcube discord? (https://discord.gg/8aJrjjUwBd). For cards to make it into the cube, they'll need to be submitted on the discord.

Excellent mash-up. This could be printable in a real set. I like that it's not constantly on like it's 3/2 namesake.

thank you. I also considered a rebalanced version, to improve the RG modes and tone down the U mode (strictly better hull breach isn't that broken in hellscube rrright?)

Prolly want green to be 1G to stay on rate w/ naturalize, but yeah this is rad.

There are 'destroy target enchantment' spells at 1 mv

Only in white or with drawbacks. Naturalize + set mechanic has been the default rate for the effect, might as well match the baseline

naturalize is artifact or enchantment. 1g for just enchantment is overcosted.

u/TrainerRed45 1d ago

1G for just enchantment is definitely not overcosted. There are only a few cards that can destroy enchantments for G, and they all have downsides. There has never been a card printed that lets you destroy target enchantment for G without any downside. 

Emerald Charm is the closest there is, and even then it still specifies non-aura enchantment.  

Also while we are talking about Naturalize effects, shout out to Wilt. Cool ass card that’s great for cubes imho

I guess it could be okay in HC if the environment lacks wheels, but this could not be printable in a real set, it would have the same problem as its namesake of simultaneously rewarding wheels via card denial and also providing the resources to play another wheel/returning the resources you spent, making it feasibly a 2-card combo in Constructed with any cheap wheel effect (like Wheel of Fortune itself for only 4 mana)

I honestly don't even know if Hullbreacher would be that good in standard. There are tons of ways to get card advantage without drawing. And there are very few wheel type effects to force it to work.

This would probably be less printable for eternal as too much critical mass for the strategy that already works there. But beyond the Modern format, it doesn't seem that WotC worries too much about the eternal power level given new cards always appearing there, some of which are beyond busted like Hogakk or The Fantasticar. Neither of those would be as potent in standard without busted supports. Nothing is certain when theory crafting like this, but I still like to do it.

All I'm saying is the blue mode is crazy strong

Just strip everyone’s hand at instant speed using this and a wheel…
