Nonsense! You generated some discussion that the rest of us got to benefit from. If no one ventured anything, the forums wouldn't be nearly as interesting.

Esper Sentinel Ethersworn Canonist Vryn Wingmare Archon of Emeria Thalia, Heretic Cathar Winter Orb Balance Sentinel uses the fact that your opponents are limited in mana and goes well with the second card. Canonist if you have an artifact aggro deck in your cube can really put a wrench in...

Like Onde, I am a fan of RKF:

I have a bunch of cards that feel this way too. I removed some and instead tried these methods: 1. Adding a new archetype. I chose a compact set of cards (in this case 5 color support) that fits with what the cube is already doing. What I've noticed is that instead of having a 5/10 card that...

Taking a step back from the archetypes and synergy in the cube, I realized that I may have gutted one of my drafter's favorite archetypes: RG aggro/midrange. Basically a Gruul deck that beats down with efficient threats. Usually some haste is involved with (dragons, beatsticks and permanents)...

I don't know if you want to try your hand with multiplayer, but in case you do here are some favorites of mine that I don't currently run (or more generally, low immediate impact synergy pieces at higher mana value). Marionette Master Storm-Kiln Artist

I've been impressed by Occult Epiphany as well if the goal is to discard, as it gives you some board presence too. Otherwise, I agree with japahn, use the one that pushes the theme you are targeting.

Hate to quote myself, but I feel that this was lost in the message. Have you also tried a +1/+1 counter deck?

If Orzhov and Golgari need help, maybe an Abzan persist combo could work? I say persist combo, but it could be a grindy +1/+1 counter deck. With these recursive creatures Putrid Goblin Safehold Elite Kitchen Finks Murderous Redcap Puppeteer Clique These type of counter payoffs (though...

I am surprised that no mention of synergy is discussed with Urza's Saga. This is the Riptide Lab right? :P Synergy: It has 2 subtypes for cards that care about Delirium and such (Grim Flayer, Occult Epiphany, ...) and it conveniently bins itself after a couple of turns. It also cares about...

Don’t forget that everyone has access to 2 of the original Moxen in dbs’s cube! So it’s not too risky to play early, as it replaces itself with another mana source. With Hardened Scales in the cube, would The ozolith Be a decent target if you have more Sagas? I know you play Arcbound...

Enjoyed the article. Cube hit: The year of the one drops. Esper Sentinel Consider Hard Evidence Bone Shards Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer Dragon's Rage Channeler Ignoble Hierarch Abundant Harvest Powerful cantrips and creatures that fit in multiple power levels and help enable smooth early and...

Even in your format, I think the Spellbombs can have merit. Splitting the cost over two turns makes it a lot more manageable. Where it falls apart for me though is with cards like Ichor Wellspring. 2 mana do nothing is rough and I would actively avoid drafting them in your cube. I think you...

With the new releases, I've been thinking about Vampires for a medium powered cube as the basis of Red an Black aggressive decks. It's not always easy to incorporate your aggressive decks into the format's other themes, but I think Vampires is starting to get there. They have a bunch of...

That’s awesome! For the card count, I think it might be counting the Maybe board from CC. Check out the cube page and compare to see if the extra cards match. If it doesn’t work let me know and I’ll send you the CSV. Can’t wait!

I have a few duplicates (Gitaxian Probe, Faithless Looting, Chromatic Star) that make my format tick. They are basically cheap cantrips that serve as synergy pieces and smooth out games. I want more, especially in non-Izzet colors. So I am considering the following In -> Out Manamorphose ->...

On the subject of interaction, does Cling to Dust have a place in your cube? Cling to Dust It can disrupt some graveyard strategies without crippling them, act as a cantrip or even a mana sink. What about Abeyance It's a tool that can be used proactively to protect your combo or it can be...

Looking forward to seeing the updated cube! With your velocity push, Emry seems like a slam dunk. He will be cheap thanks to all the 0/1 mana baubles. The mill will go great with your new GY package. Also should be close to infinite with Jeskai Ascendency and a 0 mana artifact pushing combo...

I also like Fungal Infection For the 2 for 1 potential and random token support

That is where I fell with my evaluation as well (and why it isn't in the cube). Tempo is much harder to take advantage of in multiplayer and not the general axis I am trying to play on. That being said, cards like Thalia, Heretic Cathar still pack a serious punch, but I think that is because the...
