I’ve been trying to slot in the Evangel in my own cube, but without the Humans deck, it’s mostly an artifact counters payoff. This lands stuff is a great push towards spreading it out to other decks though. What has stopped me so far is how anchored in Green this archetype is. Lands matter is a...

Is that the after doctorate experience?

Glad to hear the discard package is appealing to others! First impression is that I’ve had a hard time slotting the Talent into decks while drafting. It’s not as good of a build around as Jeskai Ascendancy and I don’t know that I need a second lesser copy. Being single color is huge, but not...

Agreed, I’m just afraid it’s a little too easy. In the right deck, this is really tough to kill in combat since the loyalty can get very high super easily. It’s going to be tough to exclude though as it can get some combo pieces like Zuran Orb, LED and The Ozolith as examples. It even gets...

With the spread of cards listed, it feels like you have three distinct archetypes: go wide artifacts (Urza + Monitor), artifact cheat (Tinker and Welder) and grindy artifacts (Welder and Engineer). I think the tools are there for you to support whichever type of artifact deck you want to push...

I decided to go with Monument and Rydia and they have proven rather easy to slot into decks and they look really good in them too! First a couple of Monument decks that look quite different Ones 1 Mox Diamond 1 Mox Opal 1 Currency Converter 1 Spell Pierce 1 Gitaxian Probe Twos 1 Hangarback...

Speaking of landfall, I missed this one which has huge potential Rydia, Summoner of Mist Ignore the saga part for now. This is a 2 mana rummager that isn’t capped! You get to see so much of your deck by just playing the game normally. Fetches are (as always) busted and don’t get me started on...

I like the tutors from this set Eladamri’s call Diabolic intent Rates are solid and it’s tough to jam them into any old deck like DT. You need a reason to want these and if you do, they are pretty great. Shout out to Rushing River that I enjoy because it’s often a tough call when to use the...

Wanted to run a few swaps by you folks as I am considering some changes in Red. Talking with Inscho confirmed some of my thoughts about Red cards I am running that should probably go. Gamble Firestorm Devastating Dreams These are situationally very powerful cards but they are also narrow and...

For me it’s a vibe thing. When drafting an old-border cube having every card with a retro border sparks joy. Even though some modern cards fit with their mechanics, the aesthetics is jarring and not what I want.

Wanted to explore the ETB archetype. Not from a value perspective, because I feel that it would invalidate a lot of what this style of cube is about, but from a combo perspective. Pandemonium This first one ties in nicely with Seeker's Rotting Regisaur post! The idea is to put big idiots into...

In a 360, I would be ok running these 4 payoffs for a minimalist theme and a good amount of bread and butter enchantments to make them worthwhile Enchantress's Presence Argothian Enchantress Replenish Serra's Sanctum I've found that card advantage isn't always easy to come by in these colors...

I listed Wirewood Elf instead of Symbiote oops!

Have you ever tried recursive Black beaters? Ashen Ghoul Ichorid Nether Spirit Nether Shadow Coffin Puppets After zombies and goblins, the last kindred deck I want to explore is elves. They are a classic and are different enough from the other two that it gets interesting. Elves have...
