Not sure if this falls under "too obvious," but to build off the creature ping idea: Vampire of the Dire Moon Fire Whip Kolaghan Aspirant Rune of Mortality Or build-your-own draw engine: Prodigal Sorcerer Curiosity

I've been dabbling a bit with these effects to figure out where the sweet spot is since my cube supports reanimator, delirium, and general graveyard value. I've been following a few "rules" in determining what's best: 1. Reduce feel-bads or "gotcha" moments. These are usually caused by a player...

Functionally, would go with A since B is strictly worse than Mana Confluence and the other lands you've presented are potentially a higher level of fixing. Aesthetically, I like the clean, single-line of text with B. Addition of flavor text would improve A if aesthetics matter. Meaningful...

To give anecdotal evidence, I regularly see myself and others forget that this doesn't tap for {B} without sacrificing a creature: Phyrexian Tower

Fabled Passage and Terramorphic Expanse also follow suit. Has to be either a) potential for getting an untapped land, or b) rarity. Edit: Slow fetches use colors in the text box in their newest art and aren't rare, so only A makes sense.

Finally finished up the cube revamp and fired a draft today, so time for some decklists! Here's first attempt on CubeCobra, forcing the archetype: Ones 1 Llanowar Elves 1 Ulvenwald Tracker 1 Avacyn's Pilgrim 1 Esper Sentinel 1 Gilded Goose Twos 1 Plargg, Dean of Chaos 1 Clarion Spirit 1...

Hmm, on review I may have overlooked the fact that most of these are powerful cards and this is just a case of correlation >>

Speaking of variant frames, have any of your drafters gravitated their early picks towards cards that are/aren't in special frames? I've noticed it a bit for borderless cards with my playgroup, though not as much as foil vs non-foil vs proxy. (We like our shiny cards, lol)

As someone who finally started posting instead of just poking around, you all have been very welcoming, a great outlet for brainstorming, and will embrace off-the-wall ideas :)

Thanks! Sharing a name with a pink puffball, I've learned to embrace it XD This guy is giving me mad flashbacks to an old Soul of the Harvest deck: Creatures 1 Craterhoof Behemoth 1 Ezuri, Renegade Leader 3 Village Bell-Ringer 3 Soul of the Harvest 4 Restoration Angel 4 Birds of Paradise 4...

If you want to go back to your original idea of an altered Teferi, Time Raveler, you could swap the original static for part of Tithe Taker's: (1) It reduces the words, and (2) there is less tension between the two choices, making the -3 the typical choice again (based on the interest of this...

Smell Fear Has impressed me in testing, and it works well with D. Champ, D. Elite, and the other counter cards in your list. At worst, it's a 2mv proliferate (the fight is optional)

Hmm, on reconsideration, not sure what {W}-thing the card does, the effects are still mono-{U}. The {W} in T3feri is more associated with the opponent timing restriction. Just tag "You gain 2 life." to the end ;)

Honestly, isn't too farfetched by today's design standards. If you squint hard enough, Petty Theft is {1}{U} to bounce and draw a 3mv 3/1 flier, just can't abuse with Snapcaster et al. Factor in your custom environment, and it seems perfectly on-par

Thanks for the all the sample lists @dbs :) Some other considerations while looking for humans to pair with Katilda, Dawnhart Prime: Duskwatch Recruiter Augur of Autumn Helps dig for more creatures Saryth, the Viper's Fang Protection from spot removal and can untap a Gaea's Cradle. I like it...

You all gave me a ton to chew on, I appreciate it XD SoF is a good one to try, definitely forgot about it. I'm liking Knight since it overlaps with some of the land and graveyard themes I have going on. Currently running Winota in RW as part of Go-Wide Aggro, which pairs well with the human...

TLDR; looking for some card ideas that slot into this archetype and general feedback on archetype viability. Preface: GW continues to be unexciting in my cube and my playgroup hasn't had much interest in traditional ramp decks. Over the past week I've been pondering over a Cryptolith Rite-style...

Slightly different situation in my cube, since it's not for duplicates, but should still be applicable. I have the following voucher card in the draft for Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar + The Underworld Cookbook: I marked a light-blue dot in the bottom-left corner of the two cards' perfect...

I've been in a similar boat and trying to be very intentional with which cards I include with(out) reminder text as to not make drafting more difficult for less enfranchised players. There's been enough Daybound/Nightbound cards that I want to include, so I've been trying to figure out how best...
