It's definitely not plan A, but just like some decks have Tinker for Bolas's Citadel or Myr Battlesphere, I am hoping to be able to Shelldock Isle, Dream Halls or Reanimate a fatty that fits into the Storm theme. Many of the set up cards for Storm also bin cards (Frantic Search, Consider...

More concrete changes: Out -> In (if this is the reversed presentation, suck it up, I can't do it the other way :p) Gifts Ungiven -> Thought Scour Sai, Master Thopterist -> Opt Playing and watching various cubes, there is always a bottleneck on cheap cantrips. It doesn't have to be that way...

I haven't found the exact examples that I've already drafted (it's so annoying that CubeCobra removed the deck names. I can't look through hundreds of drafts), but I have a few examples from my MP cube (same principle, slightly different cards and win cons). Trying to chain together lots of...

I came to the same conclusion as you folks: nothing satisfying. Just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss anything!

I’m looking for a big cheat/reanimation target that would also fit into a spell velocity/storm build. Ideally Red. Right now I have Griselbrand Hullbreaker Horror Thanks!

Coming back again after a break. Some points stood out to me: 1. Artifact payoffs Artifact support is good, but could use some more enablers (later) and the payoffs could be more varied. Discard matters payoffs Currency Converter Containment Construct Hollow One Love all of these. They form...

My take on seamlessly incorporating artifacts into archetypes is that it's a general subtheme for the cube, not an actual theme focused in some colors. I see it like a pivot archetype where the pivot "color" in question is colorless. The enablers are found in the 5 WUBRG colors and give some...

I recently expanded my utility lands to include a second copy of Urza's Saga. I added Currency Converter as part of the Saga package and would like to add a few more enablers for it. I realize it's a self-contained game piece, but if I include a card in the cube, I like it to have different...

For my MP cube Including Reprieve Minas Tirith Samwise Gamgee Farmer Cotton Forth Eorlingas! I like so many of these White cards! Reprieve is a great tempo spell that can be even more effective than Remand in a color with aggressive starts. I like the play patterns of Minas Tirith. Either...

Love that Farmer Cotton! GW artifacts entering the battlefield is really starting to take off. When your food also adds power to the board, things get interesting. Ingenious Smith Teething Wurmling Sarinth Steelseeker Yotian Dissident I like that it's artifacts ETB meaning tokens trigger...

I liked the article and will have to reread it with my own cubes in mind. This comes at a good time for me since I had a draft with my playgroup recently and before the draft I realized that my current cube list would be hostile to them. It's too complex on a number of levels: - The amount of...

I am a sucker for second spell cards and this one is on a reasonable body at a great spot on the curve. The treasure isn’t always going to be relevant for lower to the ground decks that can trigger Lotho, but there are always uses to Lotus Petals: mana fixing for a Prismatic Ending. Holding up...

I like Esper Sentinel Stoneforge Mystic Stoneforge Mystic The double SFM is versatile enough that it can go in multiple decks (fast and slow). It has synergies with the Sentinel and various equipment you might be playing. I like Barbed Spike and the already mentioned Lion Sash and Maul of the...

I drafted the cube a bit on CubeCobra and two things stuck out to me: 1. I really like the commander idea. As you said, not only do you create consistency for your decks (allowing for more fringe combos to shine), but you also guide newer players through the layers of potential synergies. 2. I...

Idol of Oblivion!! Rewards you for all your token producers (creature and noncreature) and you get an Eldrazi late game. It's another token, but it's an Eldrazi token, that has to get a pass right :P Forsaken Monument With a few modifications, this seems like it could be a great build around...

Tatsunari, Toad Rider? Or is the Blue hybrid too much of a wrong signal? Or maybe even good enough to be mono Black so not a good signal?

It ETBs tapped :( It's more like a Terrarion.

Really like the idea because I share your fondness for the Eldrazis. I started working on something similar (Eldrazis vs Phyrexians vs Legends) and was thinking that maybe the legendary matters archetype could be a theme for your cube. It would be a kind of face off between the Legends and the...

I agree to some degree. In the perfect land deck, you don’t want the Stars. However, perfect is very rare and often you are a lands deck with some non-optimal picks or cards that will make use of them. Serra Paragon and Traverse the Ulvenwald could tip you into running the Stars for example...
