This week's next piece is, dare I say, the most complete exploration of hybrid mana in cube design ever written.
Researching this piece surprised me... I would have never guessed Red's first all-upside 2/2 at 2MV, and I bet you won't either.

$ per unit sold is a very clean way to describe it if it’s constant regardless of how many are sold.

Another way you could run it is split the profits after some flat rate for your time, and you could skew that however you want. Bigger up front fee for you for a smaller share of profits, etc.

Note that I am not saying 50/50 is the right or equitable split, just that profit is what I actually care about, why make me do gross calculations to see if I’m getting a fair shake of the profits?

I think gross is more confusing. I’m having a hard time grokking the difference and I would feel like maybe I didn’t understand wholly and might be being taken advantage of. 50/50 profit split is very clear and very clearly “fair”

Yeah maybe you're catching strays from my seeing a ton of shared yard projects where it doesn't make sense, does seem pretty deep here.

Ascension specifically does add depth to it here, and only time will tell, but I feel like whoever draws the ascensions would be pretty favored? idk I just see tons of people doing shared graveyard stuff, presumably because Dan Dan does, when it's adding very little.

Would play the hell outta this, though I think the shared gy trend is silly, fwiw.
