I wanted to share my experiences with a card I tried recently that has been awesome: Bolas's Citadel Yes it's expensive, yes it mana intensive, but wow is it fun and synergistic! The reason I wanted to add this was to include black into my Izzet artifact and spell decks. In my cube, Izzet...

Could it be a token GY theme? These are essentially flashback tokens. Pretty simple but they each have their specificity making it less boring than normal tokens. Maybe Lingering Souls and Dread Summons for an abzan splash. Grizzly FateCall of the HerdMouth // FeedElspeth, Sun's...

I agree that Mire Triton is great. It doesn't look like much but it does everything every black deck wants. I would still play Supplier for redundancy. Is it crazy to want to double up on Triton? Black is pretty short on good self-mill...The only downside is that I'm afraid of too much...

I don't run customs, but seeing that thread does make me hesitate, you guys come up with some sweet cards! The Sentry is really pushing it, I agree :P However as Onder pointed out the appeal of the Dryad is the 5 color fixing for this particular package. I wouldn't play it for just that part...

I was thinking about tying artifacts to green a bit more and thought about this little package Dryad of the Ilysian GroveChromatic Lantern Golos, Tireless PilgrimCrystalline CrawlerChamber Sentry Green already plays nice with +1/+1 counters so the Sentry and Crawler makes sense, getting...

For me that is the whole point though. The broad archetypes allow for such weird color combinations to work. Maybe not as full blown decks but as packages. As you said earlier, Wildfire goes great with artifact ramp. Add in a Crucible of Worlds and maybe Windfall (since you dump your hands with...

I agree with this, you have to go deep! RG: maybe you could have ramp tokens with Earthcraft, Grand Warlord Radha, Emrakul's Hatcher, Tempt With Vengeance, Awakening Zone, Nest Invader and Kozilek's Predator. Then you could have a Mirari's Wake and a March of the Multitudes in Selesyna to...

Wait, why isn’t Fire Imp the card you are looking for? It’s podable, good in control and blinkable! The next step IMO, is identifying what cards your colors need and thinking about how they interact with other colors or what the decks you are supporting are missing (for example my aristocrats...

I like counters that are versatile (so I can do things if my opponent chooses to play around the counterspell) Supreme WillCryptic CommandThassa's InterventionMiscalculationCensor or cheap (so I can cast other cheap spells to advance my game plan and still hold up protection)...

Popular and easy to include packages I've found around here: Green GY Lands Life from the LoamRamunap ExcavatorCrucible of Worlds Titania, Protector of ArgothMultani, Yavimaya's Avatar I've found that if you support a GY theme in green at all, you already want to play the following as...

I'd like opinions/comments on the inclusion (or not) in my cube of Yawgmoth's Will This feels fair with only Dark Ritual in the cube and would be a late game card for my format. I am trying to cement spells matter or at least spell velocity in black. Right now I have 3 cards that fit the...

I did a couple of drafts and I really liked all the possibilities your cube offers. I noticed a few cards that stood out to me as either potential cuts or swaps: Miraculous Recovery: Instant speed is cool, 5 mana is not. +1/+1 counter is cool, again, 5 mana is not! Have you tested Elspeth...

@TrainmasterGT The fact that I play the card in my cube should be a testament to the fact that I do feel the card is powerful. I just chose to say 6 drop since that is where I put it on my spreadsheet, but you are right that it does often play out like a 4 drop (just like Rampaging Baloths is...

I really enjoy it for a few reasons. - Green 6 drops are actually pretty crappy. Primeval TitanHonored HydraMultani, Yavimaya's Avatar If you do not support super ramp or don't have many special lands then Primeval Titan is good but not great. The ETB on Earthshaker Giant is likely better...

What stood out drafting your cube was the 3 CC mana rocks (especially when seen next to green 1CC mana elves) and Sundering Shaman with the GGRR mana cost. The latter seems hard to cast on curve for a mediocre effect and the former seem slow compared to the speed of your cube. The mono blue deck...

After revisiting the minimalist artifact theme thread, I wanted to see if I could pull this off for the life gain deck. I am looking for cards that will fit in multiple archetypes and not stand out as overly narrow in the draft. I play at a high power level and wanted outside opinion on all of...

I agree they are never super high picks, but they can really tie a deck together and I'm not just talking about the artifact deck. Here is a quick list of where I would like to play them. Prowess Monastery MentorSeeker of the WayNiblis of FrostSaheeli, Sublime ArtificerMonastery...
