I am sticking to the somewhat classic nonfixing singleton idea for my cube. I feel it’s easier to get feedback from people and it’s more approachable than with a bunch of “fake” cards (this is purely subjective as I am sure the UB cards I run are considered “fake” by others). Should I change my...

I had a deck with 5 color fixing that was thematic and I think it’s a neat solution in your 2 color decks: Harvest, Astrolabe, Heart and Vale allow you to chose 3 color decks with more confidence!

My first Enduring Renewal deck is a sweet one IMO! Ones 1 Currency Converter 1 Faithless Looting 1 Goblin Welder 1 Lava Dart 1 Guide of Souls Twos 1 Containment Construct 1 Scrapwork Mutt 1 Genesis Chamber 1 Scroll Rack 1 Inti, Seneschal of the Sun 1 Goblin Bombardment 1 Phelia, Exuberant...

I had it for a while in my MP cube and it was fine. Later in the game it's either a ton of value or a finisher which is a good place to be IMO, games need to end! Midgame, you can usually block, blink and get your creatures back for the next turn, making it a value Fog. Your environment is...

I would take Feed the Swarm here. Non-committal, efficient and sure to make my deck if in Black. If I were feeling spicy, then Laboratory Maniac would be the pick hoping to wheel the Crawling Sensation. Does the Hatchling get played? It seems like a step down compared to the rest.

We had a thread I can’t find where we were building jump start packs. It was a fun design challenge for sure!

It was a lot of fun and I'm just messing with you :p I had no idea they were this complicated! I was considering the Crucible of Worlds/Yawgmoth's Will one in Green, but that is probably enough to get me off of them for this cube. Enduring Renewal I posted about Enduring Renewal in the...

It was just the draft. However, if going for a cube with these combo elements, you have to remove easy bombs from the draft pool IMO. Otherwise they just negate the need to draft a coherent deck. The list I drafted from was light on those so I think it would play out as a race between two decks...

I see what I did wrong, good catch! Something I missed when saying that Ballista could replace Ornithopter is that the thopter can be sacrificed to Altar of Dementia or Goblin Bombardment for the win whereas the other just dies (you would need Blood Artist here). Another type of card that...

Walking Ballista and friends also work, but the Thopter is a good one!

Enduring Renewal I recently drafted Ryan Saxe's Build around cube and first picked Enduring Renewal. I ended up with the following deck which was very fun to draft and puzzle out. Ones 1 Case of the Uneaten Feast 1 Worldly Tutor 1 Lunarch Veteran 1 Snarling Gorehound 1 Gilded Goose 1 Willow...

Survival: I like mechanics that encourage attacking (or crewing vehicles). It also reminds me that Moonsnare Prototype, Springleaf Drum and Paradise Mantle are cards I should give a second look. Rooms: I really like Rooms as they've mostly stapled a solid base effect onto enchantments with a...

Even though Duskmourn is coming out soon, I've been thinking about some changes. I saw that Schafkurai updated their cube and I drafted it a few times and (re)discovered some cool cards. I would post in their thread, but I can't seem to find it. Now that I've called them out on it, we can...

Jeez! What a banger! This seems tailor made for my cube. - More discard enablers in Green to trigger Inti, Raven Man, Converter, … - More cards that can be discarded/milled for value in Green - More zombies for Gravecrawler - More targets for Berserk/Embercleave/Rancor Excited to try it out!

What a wild one! Some abilities that don't tap are useless to copy (like Carrion Feeder), but tap abilities are pretty varied. This looks like it adds some nice redundancy to some archetypes, but it is tough to predict how well it will perform in any given draft. Artifacts matter Emry, Lurker...

I like this 1 drop. With the increase in enchantment creatures, it can be a real beating and a nice enchantment payoff. A 3 mana 3/3 (with GY and counter synergies). Or 5 mana for 2 4/4s that mill 2 with the counters. 7 mana 3 5/5s, etc. Very potent and I like having the option of playing...

The floor is higher, but so is the variance. Depending on you opponent’s deck, you can have wildly different outcomes. Sometimes it will be on par with the ninjas you mentioned, other times you will hit Verdant Force or whatever. Could be exciting, could be annoying, depends on the person.

Learned a new word, thank you! The decks are taken from my 1vs1 high power, high synergy cube so they should fit your criteria. Please share your experiences after trying again.

I'm not in the market for this, but I like all the themes it ties together. Manifest Dread fuels the GY and can work with Blink effects. The +1/+1 counters is a common theme and it works with your artifacts. It's also 10 power for 6 mana, so all that is probably moot as the opponent will be dead...

Absolutely love this card. It's cheap to cast and the ceiling is insane. It works with a lot of what your BG section is likely to care about. Stinkweed Imp Gurmag Angler Woe Strider Fanatic of Rhonas Simian Simulacrum Dredge, Delve, Escape, Eternalize and Unearth are easy ways to fuel the...
