Seeds of innocence Mindslaver is a classic which brings it to the top of the list. I have considered abandoning the artifact top end, but want to try the creatureless version first. I like your emphasis on artifact velocity, could be a sweet avenue to expand on. I am trying to figure out if...

I think I am hitting my card complexity saturation. For the first time in a long while, I am valuing flavor and nostalgia over synergy and gameplay. Arguably, this should always be at the forefront of my mind as a designer, and it was. It just didn't feel as important. As an example Appa...

From those, I like Path of Discovery and Rumbleweed. These give you a decent spread of effects. One is value over time, the other a big burst to end the game. Explore seems like a great mechanic for your cube as Green likes the GY and lands, so seems likely you will benefit from it. I am...

That's fair and the reason why I included how much extra life you get from playing 9 and 10 spells, which makes those numbers the more realistic targets to hit. Sentinel Tower is a good shout out, but I'd like to keep my Storm payoffs as open-ended as possible to work with artifacts as you...

Dog definitely! Although there is another alternative that isn’t all in and is also a payoff for the self-mill Faerie Dreamthief I have a fight that I’ve never considered before somehow Tendrils of Agony vs Aetherflux Reservoir Discussion on whether Storm is a good idea or not aside, I...

One of the first things I check when looking at power outliers in a synergy cube are creatures higher up on the curve. These can sometimes invalidate any need for synergy as they are too strong on their own. You did a great job here, nothing really stands out, except Herald of Anguish that is a...

Aura Shards Rite of Harmony Knight of Autumn Renegade Rallier Rite and Shards are a nice way to get even more value from the enchantments. Knight and Rallier are value creatures to blink. Knight is decent with the counters deck. While I think the swap to Evolution Witness was a good one, the...

Quite possibly, but I think I am mostly overvaluing the leave the GY trigger from Insight. I imagine some non deterministic Trawler loops that gain me a bunch of life or some Gravecrawler nonsense. I am happy including the Wayfinder, thanks everyone!

Kind of? Between Welder/Engineer/Emry/Scrap Trawler/Myr Retriever/White recursion/Black reanimation there are plenty of ways to recur artifacts. Similarly, recursive creatures are readily available. I’m with you on the art! I had planned to include one of these and Hermit Druid as a spicy...

I would go with Helping Hand in your fight. More generically playable and impactful I think, though it's funny that both can rot in hand. Satyr Wayfinder vs Dredger's Insight Having a body vs returning more card types (that are all supported in the cube). Thoughts?

100%, those are some wild cards for lower power. And I do understand that you can create a context where they don't shine, but 90% of the time they will take over. Cards that make a ton of mana I am also suspicious of. Grim Monolith and Gaea's Cradle seems easily abusable by virtue of having 6+...

I like a lot of the mechanics and card designs this set has to offer, but the flavor is too off putting. Case in point, there are two slam dunk cards mechanically that I will be excluding for flavor purposes The Ooze Mutagen Man, Living Ooze The Mutagen tokens are great at spreading out a bit...

I think you are definitely going down the right track with all of these foods/artifact trinkets. The payoffs seem varied and that leads to drafters expressing themselves during the draft. I’d love to see this little guy in addition to everything Ravenous Squirrel While there is a Golgari...

The open-endedness of Sevinne’s Reclamation makes me think it’s a better core card. Works with small creatures, auras, lands even Jace Beleren! Also Gifts Ungiven when for this spicy pile Gifts Ungiven Sevinne’s Reclamation Laboratory Maniac

Appreciate the feedback, I missed the Brawler, but it is a tad too slow. I am considering an Occasional set up (like japahn and more recently ravnic adopted), to give me a bit more freedom with these more narrow cards. Your strategy of growing the cube is a good one too, but I feel strongly...
