Here are a few decks with Altar of Dementia from my cube: UB GY control https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/60560c6cc816d21061e249ce Here, the Altar can fuel a Yawgmoth's Will, Emry, Lurker of the Loch and of course Thassa's Oracle. The reanimation spells let you "go off" with Gyruda to turbo...

The mono-green land creatures are nice. I especially like the Reclaimer as an enabler for land in the GY, landfall and shuffle effect. The fact that he scales is just gravy. The Sower has good baseline stats and it is really easy to trigger his token making ability. The fact that they are 0/1...

So I've tried some drafts and here is where I landed on my first impressions: - Fixing feels decent even with the bots taking them highly, which likely means it's great. - I like your use of spell lands as a way to manage mana troubles and fit more spells into decks. - There are a lot of...

Luckypaper did a podcast this week about it. Recommend giving it a listen! https://luckypaper.co/podcast/39

I think you said it yourself: the Ambusher looks cleaner. It explicitly says "flash", there is less text and no flipping involved. Also depending on your cube, the +1/+1 to humans text could be a (small) trap. If all that is irrelevant, then you need to consider your curve and if the very low...

So I got to talk about cube a bit with my playgroup and we should be doing an online draft soonish. We had a talk about some of the cards in my cube and there has been some requests. Elspeth, Sun's Champion was unanimous as a replacement for Finale of Glory. This is a scary change for me as...

I've added Esika's Chariot to my cube and can't wait to copy Mimic Vat, Feldon of the Third Path, Bramble Sovereign and Sublime Epiphany tokens.

One option is to go with broader blink enablers. Brago, king eternal Kor skyfisher Flickerwisp Shepherd of the flock This allows you in turn to blink enchantments such as sagas. Then you can cut Thing in the Ice for the mirari conjecture This ties blink, discard and spells together nicely.

Your post had me thinking about how to link blink to other colors and one option that I like is Threaten effects. Claim the Firstborn The Akroan War Zealous Conscripts Sower of Temptation Dragonlord Silumgar If you support any sort of typical BR sacrifice deck, then these cards tend to...

Would you still use Entomb in "fair" reanimator? By fair I mean that the reanimation spells are generally 4+ mana. I just had a thought, the incarnations (Anger for example) are good with both too.

Entomb Gamble I am having a hard time evaluating these for my cube. I am off the turbo reanimator plan that I usually see Entomb played in. What kind of targets are you folks getting with these cards. The most classic that comes to mind is Life from the Loam. Maybe Champion of Wits of Devil's...

What happened to the core set this year? Do we know?

Really liked the breakdown. One card that can be amazing in this type of deck is Cloudstone Curio It can bounce all types of permanents (minus artifacts) making it very versatile and it goes into any deck. Might lead to some repetitive gameplay though as chaining the same 2 creatures can get...

Wheel of Fortune I've been debating adding this card to my cube. In a MP setting, giving others a fresh hand is always very risky. That being said, there are ways to take advantage of it and it's a welcome draw source in the color. Here are some combos/interactions that can happen in my...

I am currently listening to the Dom Harvey podcast and I am really enjoying your talk about archetypes. You touched on: - Power level of synergy cards vs good stuff - "Glue" cards that go into multiple archetypes - Number of archetypes supported - Good cards as entry points to a supported...

Honestly, I don't really see what it would do in your cube. The biggest payoff seems to be The Gitrog Monster which is great. Other than that, gain 2 life a turn with Crucible of Worlds? It seems like it would draw out games for no reason more than anything. Why did you want to include it? I...

I've been lucky enough to have my cube be drafted by Dom and Erik (thanks a ton!) and wanted to showcase some cool decks they built. First up, Gyruda. Companions are a hot topic (or were when they got released) and I still don't know how they play out in cube. What I do know is that they are...

Wonder It just occurred to me, Wonder works in both your dredge deck and tempo decks. I'm always on the verge of adding it, but never quite get there. It's just a little too narrow for my Blue section, but could do a good job in yours. I like the change of Platinum Angel for GPG, can't...

Sarkhan Vol I want more Threaten effects in my cube as well as a way to tie green into sacrifice more (having Greater Good and Evolutionary Leap already). This looks decent, but the floor seems low. You should give Borrower a try. Has 3 power, evasion, flash and a bounce spell attached...

I think a Dimir card would do wonders for that deck. Some options Prized Amalgam Gisa and Geralf Araumi of the Dead Tide I think the Amalgam might be the best if the above deck is typical. You have 6 ways to trigger it, some of those are repeatable even. Gisa and Geralf are very good...
