So I've been thinking about making a relatively small "brutal cube" around ridiculous unfair cards. In powered cubes it seems like traditional "aggro" just gets outclassed by inconsiderate decks, and even in un-powered cubes facilitating successful aggro decks can be rough, so I decided a powered cube shouldn't be implementing those pitfalls in the first place. Beaters are still present, but I held them to a high standard. Isamaru is the only one-mana nonred dumb creature, because white decks seem like they can sometimes use a one mana 2/1, and far better than the Black decks. I'd really like some feedback. I'm a terrible monster who liked the MTGO Holiday Cube, so I'd like to try this out.

None of the creatures Zoness suggested are what I would describe as "dumb aggro beaters." They're aggro beaters that stifle powerful effects. The only cube archetype that seems able to make good use of multiple vanilla creatures is mono-red. When I've seen Savannah Lions be good, it's been sideboarded in by U/W midrange tempo decks against very slow decks or mono-red, getting in for six to eight damage as an opponent makes mana rocks or blocking X/2's. White decks with multiple two-power one drops just don't seem good to me, but I thought it was a nice inclusion as that specific sideboard option. I'm not totally hot on Linvala as a hate-creature. My understanding of the crazy things that could be expected in power-cube doesn't include activated abilities of creatures except for Griselbrand. What does Linvala stop that isn't a Red creature?
