Hedron Crab Can be a powerful enabler depending on your themes. Spectral Sailor Has been decent in most non-controlling Blue decks. If you are holding interaction and nothing happens, you draw. If you are flooding out, you draw. (Saw you already have it in your cube. Oops). Ascendant Spirit...

Just yesterday, I added it back to my MP cube, as a way to boost creature damage, have wrath protection and a source of card advantage. All that while being an artifact really makes for a solid card. The discard would be even more potent in your cube. If you can palate the mana cost, Cavalier...

I would like to add 5 extra fixing lands to the cube. For spoiler reasons, let’s say 5 Prismatic Vista. I need cuts! Syndic of Tithes is one I personally love for its reach and life gain, but isn’t essential. Izzet Charm is too similar to Prismari Command, so it can go (or is it the other way...

@blacksmithy If the cube were just for me, the Antique Collector would be in here. But I know the other players won't be on board. @Erik Twice There are definitely cool options for lower power. I am pretty sure ravnic has them all in his cube (like Mother Bear). However, your comments...

Looking at your list I noticed you have a lot of of enchantment based ramp. I imagine these are there as resilient sources of ramp. However, looking at your Temur colors, I notice you have Jace, Vryn's Prodigy Stormwing Entity Young Pyromancer Bedlam Reveler Dragonsguard Elite Quandrix...

I’ve definitely thought about the Mandrils, but it ends up just short for me. It’s just a beatstick with no recursion for a little less mana. Like a 3 mana 4/4 is decent, but not exciting (I have it in my 1vs1 cube because I agree that it’s really solid). In the same vein, I love Wild Mongrel...

Some swaps I want to try (out -> in) Prismatic Ending -> Emeria's Call Prismatic Ending is a powerful removal spell, but it has a few things going against it. The biggest gripe I have is the sorcery speed. Responding to opponents attacking you is very important in staying alive, so instant...

I think the ease of assembling Titania + Cataclysm or any of the Wildfires goes against the finesse your cube is cultivating. It’s just a brute force combo that doesn’t leave a lot of room for counter play. You are better suited to figuring out if that is indeed the case. I suspect you already...

I agree with your takes, it was a good read. I think one of the challenges is to choose which and how many utility lands you want to run. My favourite are the DnD creature lands right now. However, I could see a White section running these 3 to great success: cave of the frost dragon Eiganjo...

What are your thoughts on Rielle, the Everwise as another piece to the deck? I like the intersection between spells and discard, but maybe it's too narrow as a multicolored card?

Thanks for the suggestions folks! The power level of the individual cards definitely limit what can and cannot work in my cube. I wouldn't be opposed to the Smith, but as inscho mentions, I don't think I have the density to make it work consistently. I've been doing some more searching and I...

I'll echo your sentiment on the Antique Collector. I drafted it a bunch in your cube and was always impressed by possibilities it opened up as well as the value it procures with clues and keeping key creatures in live in your deck. Self-mill, sacrifice and artifact decks will all gladly play...

I've decided to try a few of the new equipment creatures because they are decent early and stay relevant later in the game, which is especially valuable in a MP game. I am especially happy with the Rabbit because haste is a very scary keyword in my environment and a cheap enabler that is wrath...

I am not 100% sure it's needed, as these have all been great support for artifacts in Green: Traverse the Ulvenwald Gilded Goose Tireless Tracker Tireless Provisioner Esika's Chariot However, like you, Golgari-Grave Troll has been a little too narrow, so I can add the Verdurous Gearhulk in...

Thanks for all the drafts Dom and the kind words. Thanks Erik and inscho too, your feedback is much appreciated! Lower mana value One thing I am considering is slashing the mana cost of the cube. With the release of the new Kamigawa set, I am finding myself overloaded with cheap cards I want...

I could see Smallpox or Diabolic Intent. I don't know how valuable a tutor is in your format when you have to spend 2 mana + a creature. It would work well with Living Death or Birthing Pod as those are nice build arounds that tend to be creature heavy. But won't work with other build arounds...

There is a sort of +1/+1 counter theme in my cube, with minimal support. It hinges around the aforementioned Basri's Lieutenant Rishkar, Peema Renegade I say sort of a theme as those are the two actual payoffs. What makes it interesting in my cube is the presence of artifact counters and human...

I’ve been looking for proactive White spells to support Leonin Lightscribe. With all these equipment creatures, I’m thinking Steelshaper’s Gift is starting to look real good!

So I've been combing through drafts of my cube and Erik's to find decks that use Crucible to prove you wrong and to my dismay, I've learned something. Turns out, you are both right. Not very many decks use it and those that do, are 95% (made up number) Green. I was under the (wrong) impression...

This is a nice little one. It does everything a slow GY deck wants. Gives you a roadblock, mills yourself and even recurs key pieces you may have milled. Great for mid powered cubes I would think!
