    Good catch! Ignore that suggestion. I’ll make up for it with Bitterblossom

    Card/Deck Earthcraft/Cryptolith Rite Archetype

    Nested Shambler Sinkhole Surveyor Avenger of the Fallen Tombstone Stairwell Marionette Apprentice Welcome the Dead Tymaret Calls the Dead Revenge of the Rats These are the first that come to mind. I particularly like Rats, Avenger and Welcome the Dead for this style of deck.

    I’d even add Pyrogoyf to that list. Looking through the set, there are so many great cards (some that I think are underplayed like candlekeep inspiration. My favourite card is as Onder alluded to, Displacer Kitten. Best design though, Baba Lysaga, Night witch To maximize the ability, you...

    Wasn't expecting an exiling Abrade. You lose instant speed, but that seems like an ok tradeoff!

    General What are the hallmarks of a "riptide-style" cube to you?

    Gaytransmulldrifter gave a really good answer. I’ll add my point of view 1. Generally (not always!) lower or mid power level cards with a pretty tight power band. 2. Making a “decks not cards” format (rather than “cards not decks”), where you build synergistic engines that are greater than the...

    Scholar of New Horizons Thrull Parasite Hex Parasite Might be enough cards for a Saga subtheme with this!

    This card looks great! Riptide Gearhulk had everyone excited at the prospect of double strike and prowess, which this easily has. The cost reduction is very solid too, discounting to zero for all your 1 mana artifacts. If not for the frame, you could have told me it was in Tarkir and I would...

    This is a really cool spell velocity payoff! It’s good for both Flurry turns and bigger Storm turns. Also looks fun in an artifact deck with Baubles, Stars and Cranial Plating style effects. Also really like the adventure lands. Love having cool build arounds for “free”.

    Love what these bring to the table in terms of both synergy and gameplay. You take a tempo hit in favor of late game draw smoothing. I guess the desigb existed in Urza block, but the single mana to cycle is huge. I remember getting in my first drafts with Onslaught and having no clue what to do.

    Favorite design is probably this equipment. For faster environments, equip costs can be tough to justify in the face of efficient removal as it can mean wasting your whole turn. Here you get one on the house and a very powerful effect too! Should they answer your creature you still have the...

    This set is right up my alley and I love all of the nonsense it enables. Check out this Aetherflux Reservoir combo draft deck from Numot. It's crazy (granted it's Kaladesh remastered, but you get the idea)! Although my favorite card is Paradox Engine from the set, my choice of best design goes...

    Sets (TDM & TDC) Tarkir: Dragonstorm Testing/Includes Thread!

    This! I’ve been toying with cutting Rabbit battery. They don’t necessarily go into the same decks, but I haven’t found my Red artifact decks really needing it (I like the card don’t get me wrong). You keep your equipment count up, you still have a haste enabler and now you get a token maker.

    This is my favourite design from Dragon’s Maze. It ties a lot of themes together and even helps gets the process started when protecting itself. It’s even better now with the prevalence of leave the GY triggers. Didn’t cube with it a lot, but enjoyed every moment of it!

    Mishra’s Bauble is my favourite card by a mile, but Urza’s Bauble existed in Ice Age so not really novel. My favourite design is probably A legendary land with an epic payoff. Tells a story where you slowly thaw the ice and you get a 20/20 token! Now I’m not necessarily a fan of the various...
