I like broad questions, because people can interpret them differently and I get to see a wide range of suggestions. I am looking for generically playable cards that lowers your life total. As Miles said, your Fire Covenant suggestion is a perfect example, thanks. Just like Delve threats (Gurmag...

I'm going to loop these two together because they are quite similar Death's Shadow Scourge of the Skyclaves I am thinking about these cards adjacent to Delve threats. You won't deploy them on turn 1 or 2, but maybe you double-spell on turn 4 or 5 adding a huge body for cheap. My cube has...

Death's Shadow Scourge of the Skyclaves Street Wraith Wraith is an ok piece cantrip and the creatures are under-costed beaters you can try and build around. The fact that my mana base is double shock + double fetch should lead to a bunch of damage. Does anyone have experience with this...

Instead of Decimator, I like Earthshaker Giant It's more reasonable to cast and doesn't ask that you to shrink your board when you cast it (which goes against the whole point of the card). A few more cards to consider for your aggressive Green spells package (instead of more generic strong...

After thinking about it more and hearing your arguments, I like Monastery Swiftspear because of its versatility in different synergy decks. It's not the best for the optimized version of any of those decks, but you are still happy to play it. Artifact aggro? Benefits from Baubles and Equipment...

I hadn’t considered Winter Orb and Thespian Stage. Maybe with enough targets, Dark Depths combo isn’t as narrow as I thought.

White stuff Tithe Weathered Wayfarer Balance Cataclysm Sevinne's Reclamation Blue stuff Frantic Search Snap Time Spiral Green stuff Elvish Reclaimer Life from the Loam Ramunap Excavator Garruk Wildspeaker Nissa, Who Shakes the World Multicolored stuff Deathrite Shaman Wrenn and Six...

I am basically spamming at this point, but the creative juices are flowing! I mentioned wanting more cards like Gingerbrute and more one drops, so I am trying this swap (Out -> In) Reclamation Sage -> Haywire Mite The Mite is pretty far away from being as good as Gingerbrute for aggressive...

Tameshi, Reality Architect What are your favorite uses of this card? What decks does it usually end up in?

You bring up some interesting thoughts and looking at some of your slots, it feels like you are hesitating between the 2 approaches you described. Whether you go higher or lower power, I think a minimal Storm package is the way to go. Minimal Storm for me is a Dimir archetype with support and...

While not landfall, could using Revolt scratch a similar itch with the Vistas? Stuff like Narnam Renegade Greenwheel Liberator You get one trigger for an oversized creature, but it doesn't snowball. Not as satisfying of an engine though. For those, you have slower more repeatable cards like...

I can see myself coming back on this decision if I feel that the Red cheat decks aren't coming together often enough. However, I've played Chandra TOD before and she is a lot of fun like blacksmithy says. Nahiri would play fine, but I am just not excited enough for her in a gold slot especially...

Time for some concrete updates. There is a mix of macro and micro archetype changes, hopefully this works out! Boros control and blink I recently watched Brian Coval playing a Legacy Boros control deck and it looked great. The big things my cube is lacking for this deck are Planeswalkers...

I think it's a nice counterpoint to the spell based combo decks you have. This creature version is less explosive and powerful than Brain Freeze + LED + Breach, but the mana generation is insane if left alone. You also have some solid card advantage spells to keep the cards flowing and a...

Agatha’s Soul Cauldron I am coming around to this card as a reasonable piece of GY hate with huge synergy potential. What I like is that it’s both a self-contained +1/+1 enabler and payoff that can lead to some crazy plays. There is so much range in what activated abilities exists that there is...

Malakir Rebirth vs Unearth I like the idea of having a land on the backside more than cycling 2 I think, but is the timing restriction on Rebirth too limiting?

If the Red options are too lackluster, could you go with colorless instead? Stuff like the underworld cookbook Bag of holding Collector’s Vault Key to the city Lesser masticore

My favorite card of the set is probably Brenard, Ginger Sculptor It ties together a lot of different themes, namely ETB, sacrifice, lifegain and artifacts. The easiest way to abuse Brenard is to pair it alongside ETB creatures and a sacrifice outlet. But the great thing is that it works...
