Can't have {r}{r}, {b}{b}, {u}{u} mana costs.

Genesis wave, fiend artisan, arkbow effects aren't great because of {x} cost cards. Arkbow and fiend are almost good enough (You can get EWit + Krasis / Ballista in a pinch). Hence why Villainous Wealth is good since other decks don't have as many {x} costs. Villainous is not great with decks with counterspells.

{X} cost means main deck lurrus doesn't works, but other other low cmc return to hand abilities do.

Prismatic ending would be god tier but it doesn't copy the converge cost.

Bladecoil Serpent and Clay Champion don't appear to get benefit from Unbound.

Wildness Rec is okay, too much mana

Hydra Broodmaster seems like a bomb but is a bit expensive and needs to stick

Finale dev is mana accel in a pinch + wincon but is the mana accel better than other wincons?

Nyxbloom Ancient is a bit too expensive. Nissa is prob better.

Shark Typhoon is a bit like Hydroid Krasis. With unbound, you only get 1 shark but 2 draws.

Without unbound - 2 cmc, 0/0 shark 1 draw, 0/0 hydra 0 draw 0 life - 3 cmc, 1/1 shark 1 draw, 1/1 hydra 0 draw 0 life - 4 cmc, 2/2 shark 1 draw, 2/2 hydra 1 draw 1 life - 5 cmc, 3/3 shark 1 draw, 3/3 hydra 1 draw 1 life - 6 cmc, 4/4 shark 1 draw, 4/4 hydra 2 draw 2 life

With unbound - 2 cmc, 0/0 shark 2 draw, 0/0 hydra 0 draw 0 life - 3 cmc, 1/1 shark 2 draw, 2/2 hydra 1 draw 1 life - 4 cmc, 2/2 shark 2 draw, 4/4 hydra 2 draw 2 life - 5 cmc, 3/3 shark 2 draw, 6/6 hydra 3 draw 3 life - 6 cmc, 4/4 shark 2 draw, 8/8 hydra 4 draw 4 life

Spell Burst is too slow. Even on the play, you need 1 mana accel to counter same mana cmc, so the spell isn't early playable. Late game, by about T4, it can lock out with buyback.

Repeal has a loop with Eternal Witness. One downside is the cmc needs to be exact so the copy might not have a target.

Animist's Awakening mathematically gives x / 2 lands back (hyper dist geom). At best, 1 card to get back the same amount of mana as started with.

Circle of Dreams Druid has more swing than tribe. Better vs combo, worst vs control.

Kogla + ewit loop?

Nyxbloom Ancient or Nissa for mega mana?

Is Villainous Wealth good enough against all decks? Can it be cut? - Good: Jund, Tron, Death Shadow, Mill

  • Okay: Burn, Bring to light

  • Bad: UW control, high land count decks, affinity, living end, creativity, harden scales

Polukranos, World Eater is a bit like walking ballista, except slower. Fatal push makes this card not great. If you do monstrosity and get killed, you don't deal dmg.

Prophet of Kruphix explosive but bad CA

Burning-Tree Emissary is good for explosive hands but the RG causes troll and tribe to not be castable.

Voracious hydra is almost good enough. Devotion + fight is nice. Still underwhelming compared to ballista

Ewit + multiple choice is a loop. But very expensive. Low impact.

Ice-Fang Coatl deathtouch turns on a bit late

spreading seas is a bit weird with cradle

Saryth, the Viper's Fang is almost good but no way to force ballista to tap itself
