I can see two main directions, the first just grabbing your solid zombie value cards (would work great in a pod deck) such as your Skinrender, Sidisi, Undead Vizier, Custodi Lich, Fleshbag Marauder, Lifebane Zombie etc. The second option would be to help fuel an aristocrats package by bringing...

Very interesting, kind of makes me wish I had a higher density of zombies atm otherwise I'd give them a test spin for sure. I actually have a fair amount of experience with Ancient Excavation! It's a very cool card that I discovered for my edh decks from your cube actually. Basic land cycling is...

Lmao, fair point. Perhaps this is a discussion more suited to a CBS/GRBS thread, but from what I've seen they're so far off topic I'd rather not touch them with a ten foot pole.

Not really a fan of any but Stitcher`s Supplier, I wish she had been in Shadows over Innistrad because she looks like one hell of a delirium enabler! I might slot her into to my Innistrad theme cube I've been talking about building for ages now. I'm really torn on my Dimir section, I keep...

I feel so conflicted on this issue because I really enjoy having a handful of iconic cards that boast flexible raw value, but I feel like it has been undermining my more synergistic decks lately. It's kind of heartbreaking when my Karn, Scion of Urza and Batterskull can out perform my...

Wait wait wait...so this card isn't oppressive nonsense? I pulled one in my first and only unstable draft and won every game because I kept drawing it. I love the art and flavor of it but I assumed it would be abhorred in these forums for being too "I win" once you manage to connect for the...

I respect the desire for diversity, but I feel like doing 5 damage instead of 4 makes the deck so much harder to build and significantly reduces the strength of gruul wildfire :( Half of why I run the archetype is I derive an unhealthy amount of satisfaction triggering my own Ripjaw Raptor as...

Interesting, I figured that the extra toughness and powerful defensive abilities would make it less anemic than Falkenrath Noble when you're looking to stall and grind for value. But I can see the lack of evasion to dome for 2 and lifegain stabilization being real losses. If I'm not in the...

I'll be putting him in my cube because I always wanted a playable Iron Maiden album cover. If he turns out to be a nutty draw engine and artifact anchor then that's just gravy.

I can't make up my mind on whether I want Crater Hellion as my redundant copy of Wildfire. or if I would prefer a second copy (I find Burning of Xinye clashes with the aesthetic of my cube...) , or possibly Chandra, Flamecaller instead at 375. Would love some input on Wildfire support packages...

No love for Blood Artist 4.0?

Heirloom Blade has been on the chopping block for me for a while, I can't recall a single instance it made it out of a sideboard. It's been a card I've been meaning to force so I can get in a few reps with it before I make a verdict. Bloodforged Battle-axe has some cool synergies in the cube but...

I keep trying to figure out why I see so many Riptide lists running Stoneforge Mystic. I get it, she's iconic, she's powerful, and I'd love an excuse to sleeve up my Grand Prix Promo version. But is she really worth running in a cube that only runs a Bonesplitter or two and a Grafted Wargear...

Thanks for the detailed response! I get that approach, I tend to go through a planeswalker culling phase every other month, and then I miss them and I bring them back. I don't think most cubes miss out on much by not having Sarkhan Vol, but your response and my sweet 4 colour pod deck featuring...

I honestly feel like we haven't hit that sweet spot for an izzet spells matter creature yet. I tested them all extensively alongside double delver of secrets and double young pyromancer, and even in their best deck they were mediocre (and often weak filler for other decks). For the time being...

Fair point, looking at World Shaper with fresh eyes I see how clunky she is and I'm a lot less enthralled, although I feel like with a few minor changes should could have made for a fantastic cube card. What have the experiences been for you guys with the Vinecrasher? I've always tinkered with...

World Shaper Centaur Vinecrasher Thoughts on the merits of these two? I don't think I can afford to make room for both cards but they'd both fit nicely into my current format which features double wildfire, double fetches, and ample loam/molten vortex support (with aristocrats sac outlets)...

Nothing pulls my drafters into green aggro more than an early Collected Company . I highly recommend breaking singleton for two if that's something you're cool with. On that note, to support a good Coco deck you need a solid critical mass of worthwhile 3cmc and 2cmc targets, and having just...

Does no one here like Sram's Expertise ? Or the rest of the expertise cycle for that matter. I've been wondering for a while now whether their absence from riptide lists is due to being too powerful for low powered environments or just too much inconsistency.

I was very curious about what kind of environment you had that would want the battledriver and I dig it in your list. Playing it in a gruul beats list to enable stat monsters like Kodama of the North Tree and Sylvos, Rogue Elemental to hit like a truck sounds like a great time, not to...
