With Welder you could discard stuffy doll to something and weld it in as a flash blocker. Just thought I'd mention since you were looking for Welder ideas.

This is like exactly the sort of deck I like to play. I was sad I didn't have more grindy ways to spend my mana like an equipment or wolf run, and the deck sometimes took too many turns setting up and led to long games you didn't think you'd win, but there was just enough pressure and lifegain to offset all the lifeloss and actually win games. Man I forgot how nuts hymn to tourach is. I really should have played another swamp to have that on curve more often.
Despite how much I loathe playing decks that draw too many lands and play too many 3's the games were always interaction heavy and had a lot of climactic moments. Epochrasite has earned it's place in my heart again.
Favourite Plays:
- I'm trying to be less conservative with my profane commands these days and against opposing aggressive starts I twice went turn 2 sakura-tribe elder into turn 3 profane command rebuying elder.
- Profane Command + Eternal Witness is a mean trick that makes your deck super inevitable.
- You feel super silly casting Explore with a Courser of Kruphix in play.
- You feel really unfair when you are sitting your Liliana behind a bitterblossom.
- Grabbing stirring wildwood and the plains you need to activate it off a prime titan is very satisfying.
This deck was super soft to a wildfire if you could bolt my thragtusk first and keep me from just beating you with a remaining treetop village. So buddy tricked me into blocking a Snapcaster with a Sword of Light and Shadow and then proceeded to let my arena more or less kill me by countering all my spells after the burning and beating me down with a venser.
ALSO Hinder was totally fuckin with my dougie that night.
EDIT: Arena + courser sounds super sweet but you run out of cards quick lol.

BB, RR, 1RR, 2GG, 4RR splash white and blue? What madness is this?

The nonbasic lands say no. Though maybe the World Knit was picked after the lands...

I though the trick with World Knit was to draft all of the non-basics you saw? That we you keep your deck size down somewhat.

I'm pretty sure the card in at the top left is Worldknit.
Nonbasiclands are usually good with worldknit, but City of Brass is probably worth avoiding in most cases.

You are right, that is the edge of Worldknit. City of Brass was indeed the land throwing me off

it was not great in this deck
the great thing was he also had canal dredger, so his deck had a bunch of last picks and a sweet-ass 1/5 for 4
3-0'ed quite effortlessly worldknit is pretty damn good in our cubes

Sadly I didn't play against this deck, it looks so sweet! Also, nope, two Breeding Pool is not a typo. The mystery card is Sprouting Pond, which did some good work in this deck (pumping up Cloudfin Raptor to Mahamoti Djinn proportions).
How big is your multicolor section, onderzeboot?

Very big, that's the premise of my (new) cube after all

36.7% according to cubetutor! That's mana fixing included though, because I put the lands in their respective guild/shard sections. 105 nonland cards, 16 per guild and 5 per shard/wedge in a 450 card cube.

I just did a original Ravnica draft on Forge because CML is always raving about it. Is it just me or is the original format way underpowered compared to today's standard? Still an awesome draft though

Yeah, stasis cell was bad. I had a Szadek in my sideboard, but no way to make the
the core of my deck to support the double mana symbols in both colors. Still went 3-0 against the AI though. Turns out my creatures were fairly beefy for the format. Only things that really scared me were another Szadek, Lord of Secrets and a Tidespout Tyrant, both of which I narrowly survived on the back of a Stoic Ephemera and/or Pillory of the Sleepless.

I was playing against the AI (google MtG Forge), and seeing the other decks I think the packs were just particularly dry. My second draft went a bit better (Skeletal Vampire rules), though there's still a lot of chaff in the boosters. It's funny to see how drastically they cut back on garbage these days.

Are the three colors in that cube Black, Green and White?

I would run it in a BUG cube, at least to try. Green creatures probably represent about 40% of the creatures.
Sweet news! Samuel has been on double delver, double pyromancer, double gravecrawler and double something else for 2 months now in his 400 list and has cut down by like 50 percent on his artifact mana!
My delver list that 3-0'd this week!
Not too many sweet plays out of this one. Just a lot of very very close races and games I didn't think I could draw out of ending up just trying to play for the most damage and cantripping out of. Probably could have used another white source, that one swamp was a total pain in the ass too.
Jitte is way less of a fun card without damage on the stack..... Mother of runes is really nice to be on the right side of.
This deck would feel so so so threat light if it were not for counterspell, true name and lingering souls.
I can think of favourite plays after all:

I can think of favourite plays after all:
- Dazing a grim monolith on turn 2 after passing with a seeker in play.
- Remanding a timely wurmcoil off a grim monolith thereby stranding it in his hand for the turn I needed to find cryptic mana.
