Anything that triggers off an artifact being cast Pinnacle Emissary, Patchwork Automaton, Riddlesmith, Ravenous Robots, Kappa Cannoneer, even Vedalken Archmage. Also, other Moxen (like Mox Opal) and fast mana. Mana Crypt, Sol Ring, etc. Clearly also something to generate card advantage like...

My main problem with lifegain decks is that they kinda kill every chance of a fast aggro deck, unless you do it in a way such that the fast aggro deck is mill or poison based But in more midrange-y cubes I think the lifegain archetype would be very interesting. Also cards like Martyr of Sands...

Maybe it should cost :0: then? Obscure Ritual BB instant add BBBBB

I like the new Ajani, it doesn’t seem too overpowered but it looks fun. With a couple Soul Sister effects (and they continue printing ones that are very interesting, like Guide of Souls, Haliya and this new white Liliana) it can produce a new Pridemate token every turn, even! But I agree that...

I am also liking this buddy here: Loving the idea of just spending one mana each turn to mill three cards. In a graveyard-centric cube it can do wonders. I still do not love the cards with prepare, I think that between Omens and Adventures and these it adds a bit too much fatigue. But I am...

Not bad! It is not Dark Confidant, but I think that this is worth it both for powermax cubes (that have Guide of Souls, Ocelot Pride etc) but also for a lifegain archetype in a more lower-power cube, since it doesn't look like it is extremely high powered. This is also not bad! One thing I...

The Griselbrand tool?! What is that? And why don't I know its existence? :oops:

I don't know you all, but I am MUCH more hyped for this expansion than for Marvel, Star Trek or the Hobbit. The card itself doesn't seem great (just a random Tinker target that dies to Swords to Plowshares) but I am very curious of the lore behind it: does it mean that Jace changed the world to...

I was looking for fun archetypes and I always loved Madness-style decks. I think that the last five years or so have given us many interesting new cards for this type of deck, so I wanted to revive the topic. Blazing Rootwalla Give me a {0} cost madnesser every day of the year! It is even...

Yeah indeed, you are right :) oh if only they removed the reserved list! Well, I don't want to go too much off-topic! A couple of old-school personal favourites: Paralyze "the black pacifism" Benalish Hero Mesa Pegasus banding is pretty good, at the end of the day I think it is over-hated but...

Do you have any Sliver in your list? Because if the answer is "not", then Plague Sliver is almost functionally identical

I know this is not the goal of this specific Cube, but for your next project of this kind: you should also consider MDFCs. These let you have a "grey zone" between land and non-land. You said in a previous post that currently you have 16 lands per player, but you could consider going even lower...

My main feeling this spoiler season

I see. Then I second Coalition Relic. Or... I don't know your Cube very much, but have you thought about Tablet of Discovery? It maybe does too many things, but a bit of card advantage (good in Control), ramps for instant and sorcery (good in Storm) and works with Welder. Also it is red, like...

Thran Dynamo?
