Thanks for the suggestions. I've considered the artifact aggro approach in Black, with Vault Skirge, Triarch Praetorian, Scrapheap Scrounger and friends doing some decent work as well. It's a good deck that comes together sometimes, the issue is the payoff. Skorpekh Lord is fine, but ultimately...

Showdown of the skalds Another nice spell velocity card that buffs your team! I also like the additionof Helping Hand and Recommission. Hearth Elemental Can also be good if you randomly have spells in the GY and the adventure side triggers your payoffs. Questing Druid is a great add there too...

Getting Black involved with artifacts The artifact theme in my cube is pretty expansive, to the point where it is almost an artifact cube. Yet Black doesn't participate as explicitly as I would like. Reanimate Blood Artist Stalactite Stalker Yawgmoth's Will Cheat, sacrifice, +1/+1 counters...

I enjoyed the format, it's nice to be able to look at the card while reading your thoughts. Especially with new cards since I get to familiarize myself with the art and feel of the set. I am thinking the Forensic Gadgeteer has a shot in the vintage cube due to the Basalt Monolith combo.

This looks like a fun one. - Doubling up on your sacrifice outlets can be a big swing if you are getting 2x Blood Artist triggers - Wrath protection that isn't too expensive to leave up - Alpha strike or defend and finish them off with the flyers the turn after - Trigger your Jinnie Fay...

How often does that happen though? This might be me being too focused on my own environments, but with the amount of playables you get in a draft, I have a tough time believing this would even matter. If you don't care about the GY, you probably just play another 2 drop that is more synergistic...

I agree with that, but at the same time with double shock and double fetch, the life loss of the Ancient Tomb really adds up, creating an interesting risk/reward dilemma. Grim Monolith is probably even safer than what you think since these are cards from my MP cube which has higher mana value...

The most important part of the Wayfinder for me is the milling. In that department, the Analyst is just as efficient (since one of the cards from the Satyr goes to hand). So is the body + ability better than a land in hand? Most of my GY and land decks are on the slow side, trying to recur...

I'm in the same boat, love these hybrid split cards and they would be among the first spells I include in a lower power cube. I also like the little extras they bring: - Numbers for Yuriko, Tiger's Shadow or Collect Evidence: big number - Can sometimes count as two types for Delirum - Can...

I guess I worry it's too easy? You make a good point especially since I gutted a lot of my generic top end. You can still cast an early Primeval Titan or something and that is good. But not out of line with what the rest of the cube is doing. It does nicely ramp up to the targets that can use...

I was just making cuts to slot in Splendid Reclamation and they reveal this! Great body for slower deck, good set up piece for GY decks and the rate on the ability is what you would expect and unconditional! Slamming this, good bye Satyr Wayfinder

Blitzwing, Cruel Tormentor This Universes Beyond flip card is what you are looking for. You can cast it for 4 mana before the Wildfire, which it survives with its 5 toughness. Then you get a random ability! It could be anything, except it's definitely flying or indestructible. It also has...

I want to defend my ordering by saying I put the White card first, Black second and Gold third, but I didn’t do it for my other submission so it’s a load of BS. I also want to thank you for taking the time to give such great constructive criticism, it will certainly be helpful in the future!

I have definitely flagged this card for my MP cube, replacing Voldaren Bloodcaster as a tie between artifacts and sacrifice. Triggering the Manufactor is a huge bonus!

This seems like a creative way to cheat creatures into play. You could use Phyrexian Dreadnaught type cards (Hunted Phantasm, Eater of Days) or use a classic big creature and blink it. It's also good flood insurance, turning your lands into 2/2 for free.

Would you run Urza, Lord High Artificer if it just had this ability? I think it’s too slow, but a cool card.

Balancing big and small game decks I like big games (BG). My first cube is a multiplayer one where the board states are large, people draw and play lots of cards. The games usually end with a big finish as someone assembles an engine with some reversals along the way. I like small games (SG)...

I run both Soul Partition and Unexpectedly Absent, they are 100% in line with what I am looking for. Winds of Abandon is a good suggestion too, I am unsure if I want another Wrath effect though.

I was going to suggest Sweet-Gum Recluse as a cool card, but depending on the speed of your flyers it might to what you want it to. If we are talking more tempo-oriented decks that will beatdown, I'd be looking towards something cheaper. On another note, I am looking for cheap, efficient...
