At least we stayed on topic and didn’t recommend a whole different archetype!

Have you considered running both Ozoliths instead? The Ozolith Ozolith, the Shattered Spire Instead of having both Green enchantments, I think a mix with The Ozolith could bring more diversity both in gameplay and what decks actually look like. Being able to boost your board presence and have...

Small package update. I love mana denial in manageable doses. It can help keep greedy decks in check and knowing when and which ressources to deny is a fun puzzle. Gifts Ungiven -> Tishana's Tidebender Tidebender is an effective flash threat that stifles a fetchland or messes with a mana...

chimeric idol Chimeric mass these have more cross appeal between various archetypes compared to the Processor. Control can wrath and still have a threat. Aggro can avoid sorcery speed removal and have a decent body!

Does it have to be an artifact? Endless One Always decent on curve no matter the archetype! Really simple design too.

My second entry, for Rakdos. Graverob X: When this creature enters the battlefield, mill X cards, then exile X creature cards from your graveyard. If you do, Create a Treasure token. (It’s an artifact with “{T}, Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color.”) Greedy Excavator {B/R}...

I figured that since Morph, Manifest, Ixidron and even Cyber Conversion (which adds the artifact type) are all 2/2, it might be easier to remember. That being said, you might still be right. It would open different card design possibilities. I did have standard in mind. Since most one mana 2/1s...

A new mechanic for the Orzhov guild. Eclipse: Turn target creature you control face down. It's a 2/2 white and black Shadow creature. Occult Lumimancer - {W} Creature - Human Warlock (r) At the beginning of your end step, eclipse. 0/1 Rebirth to Darkness - {1}{B} Instant (c) Return target...

I don't mind the gold section being unequal as much as you, but the White and Blue section each have like 7 or 8 cards less than other colors. Combined it does make it less likely Azorious decks will pop up. Up to GTM to decide if they think it's an issue (edit, they don’t!) I think the cube...

I am still unhappy with my sacrifice decks, but I might have fix for now. Compared to other archetypes, it requires a lot of work to get rewarded. You need a sacrifice outlet, fodder and a payoff to really be firing on all cylinders. I like my payoffs for their redundancy and because you can go...

I usually hate Gravecrawler like you and agree that 95% of the time it's super narrow and makes it difficult to branch into other decks/archetypes. But I've been thinking about it in the context of my high powered cube that is built to make big synergy decks. I've found that as I get higher up...

Yeah, I was mostly trying to free a spot (token producer + zombie type), not add a random zombie, but I like your suggestions. I am not quite sure I understand your argument about Jadar being unplayable in a faster environment. You said that Bitterblossom isn’t worth it if you only get a few...

Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia vs Bitterblossom Looking to slot in Gravecrawler into my cube and increase my zombie density when possible. Wondering if this is a one of these moments. I like that Jadar doesn't gum up the board and incentivizes you to use the tokens since you get another one...

I haven't been able to draft a lot of Channel decks. It's pretty narrow and you need to be pretty heavily into colorless cards. The ones I did draft were really sweet though: Ones 1 Chromatic Star 1 The Ozolith 1 Currency Converter 1 Goblin Welder 1 Faithless Looting 1 Thraben Inspector 1...

I was thinking about the Smithy, but I think I like Digsite Engineer more. It's less feast or famine and the baseline of 3/3 for 3 is serviceable. Spending mana to get your tokens isn't ideal, but if they are 3/3 or bigger, it's still a good deal! Plus it isn't a DFC. The Engineer requires you...

In cubes with a combo focus, it would be decent. I know that I've considered it in mine as a complement to Lion's Eye Diamond for the Underworld Breach + Brain Freeze combo. I could see it making sense as well with some high impact Monarch or Initiative card. A turn 2 White Plume Adventurer or...

I think Map tokens have more cross archetype synergy potential, but I believe that Treasures are stronger. Lotus Petal can be a legit card in some cubes and getting an incidental one is huge. Be it ramping out a big spell or double spelling earlier can often put you in a winning position...

100%. Having that safety net feels important for a conditional card like this. Inelegant is the right word for it!

Legolas's Quick Reflexes Are there any other printings of this card? I'd like to include it, but hate the full frame thing it has going on. I think it has good potential. It's great in the face of removal obviously, but you also get to surprise block someone. It can be used precombat as a bite...

What is your stance on Stax, color hate and such? There were a lot of hateful cards back then so knowing if you want to lean into it or avoid it would be helpful!
