That's exactly right. It feels wrong to have Jeskai Ascendancy not be classified as an engine because that's how I tend to think about it, but it's just a reward for doing something else, so I think it makes sense!

Having more time to think cube during the summer, I wanted to run by you fine folks an attempt at updating cube vocabulary. In my experience, enablers, payoffs and glue cards are the most used terms to describe a card's role in a given cube. I think these terms are great at conveying what a...

That looks like a really fun challenge, building something so small and archetype dense. I love your Cathodion welder target and it reminded me of a card. Pyromancer’s Goggles? Another Welder target that can play in control, big red, storm and wildfire. Copying Plunge or Song is huge, might...

Wanted to share some cool decks I've been able to draft on CubeCobra. They showcase this slight change in direction towards resource conversion and look like a blast to play. Ones 1 Lion's Eye Diamond 1 Bone Shards 1 Ignoble Hierarch 1 Noble Hierarch 1 Carrion Feeder 1 Nested Shambler 1...

Combo nonsense For context, I was trying to see if I could optimize the amount of combo overlap between a few notorious combo cards, so I tried different combinations and here is where I ended up using this subset of cards. Note that this takes for granted that you have a free sacrifice outlet...

I don't buy the first part of your argument, as artifact aggro is all about high density and having something in the GY with Baubles, Trinkets, combat, Ravager seems relatively easy. You make a good point about the delay though, only being relevant late. In the meantime, it has menace which is...

No worries, I don't mind getting feedback (positive or negative) on ideas, otherwise I wouldn't post :D Which card here screams artifact aggro the most Rust Harvester Gingerbrute Bomat Courier Rabbit Battery I'd like one more artifact one drop and these are my favorite candidates. I ranked...

Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle This bird is an archetype all by itself and is a lot of fun. You can go into Blue too Tameshi, Reality Architect Emry, Lurker of the Loch You can build an eggs deck around these Auriok Salvagers Trinket Mage Origin Spellbomb Aether Spellbomb Salvaging Station And...

For me, the toughest part of a GY cube is finding a role for White decks. Recently, I’ve had success with a discard aggro deck, a recursive artifact deck and <= 3 mana reanimation. I’m not running it, but there are some very good combo decks centered around the GY and sacrifice too. I would try...

Haha wtf is this?

Mizzium Mortars? I think it has game in slower midrange and control decks. Might count as burn? I like Miles' mention of Collective Defiance too.

That's a blind side of mine, I didn't really have any combos in mind with it, though I imagine it can grease the wheels of many. In my cube, I think it enhances Enduring Renewal and nothing else. That's a good observation and honestly, I wasn't thinking of this as a tokens card, more of an...

Sorry to double post, but I've had a thought. What if this was the Green artifact producer I was looking for Genesis Chamber Every creature now comes with an artifact. It's a tough balancing act to break the symmetry, but it feels like it has potential in Green to be better than in other...

Can’t argue with that. My thought was I have essentially two Welders by running Engineer also. This gives me enough redundancy to have a Red artifact package. In the same vein, having another powerful artifact token producer in Green gives me redundancy. This means cards like Cranial Plating...
