Is there really enough advantage to the best case scenario of brain freeze over breaking // entering or glimpse the unthinkable or some other huge mill card to be worth the difference between their worst case scenarios? Sure, brain freeze supports storm, but unless you storm off with a count of...

What about cage of hands?

In the magic duels computer game at least, Bygone Bishop is the nuts. Gives weenie decks a way to easily refill and get ahead in card advantage. On a basically irrelevant note to cube, clues are great with Ghirapur Aether Grid.

... Yes?

Is it possible to maybe have control decks be based more around synergy? Maybe even build arounds? For example, Laboratory Maniac turns drawing cards into a win condition. For an example that would only work in a very narrow type of cube, Ghirapur Aether Grid seems like a combination of win...

I second the obscene value of Tireless Tracker. Drafted yesterday, and any game he wasn't removed within a turn or two of hitting the board, I won.

Probably magnifying glass, especially if you have clue support or an artifact theme. 4 mana then 2 mana is just so much easier to activate than 7 mana. If your environment is really ramp heavy, then unstable obelisk may be better. Blow up their win con to clear the way for your win con.

Lies. For my maximal benefit the good of all, everyone should engage in compassion training. :p

Holy crap, topplegeist seems amazing. 1 mana removal spell that you can move around? Yes please.

That definitely does seem to have a better average case scenario (assuming we count the planeswalker bit as trinket text which seems reasonable in a low power cube) since it's basically draw 3 discard 2 compared to draw 3 discard 3 (if you pitch attunement). But on the other hand, I dig how...

Attunement It's the blue Faithless looting! Also triggers enchantress stuff.

It is only known as the thread-which-must-not-be-named. I don't think it was a scene; I mean, not saying it was pleasant, but I dunno if it should be. I thought it was roughly as constructive as you can realistically expect such things to be. It could have gone way, way worse; that's for...

I'll have you know I'm a fully grown cat in a superposition of dead and alive!

Ok, Riptide Shapeshifter is too cool. Like probably too high of a cmc to be good outside of a low power cube, but that's pretty sweet. Tutor + cheat into play card.

Words of War GRBS? Good? Bad? Terrible? I seriously can't tell. It seems interesting though.
