Thank you for writing your thought process. I often look at your posts as you articulate your goals and your design in a way that speaks to me. I find myself in a similar space where I don't want a low powered cube, but I don't want a min-max one either. What I ended up on are cards that work...

I second the Marionette Master. He has synergies with tokens, artifacts, counters, power matters (equiment and Vesperlark both), sacrifice, blink. During the draft he can impact your pick order which is a good quality to have IMO. My artifact package in black is actually just the Master...

Like TrainmasterGT says, they are great. What is nice is that they reward synergy, but don't demand it. Something that I try to use more and more in my cubes. I've also had good experiences with The Mirari Conjecture

No. It doesn't net you any mana since the land you sac must be untapped. 1 damage for 2 mana (1 + the Trading Post) is also weak. That being said, it would probably see play in near 100% of decks (you usually have a lot of playables, it's a land that taps for colored mana), but the real...

The Mirari ConjectureFall from FavorParallax WaveRise of the HobgoblinsCurse of ChainsTreacherous BlessingLiliana's Mastery With Mirari, you can maybe get back the spell you used to blink it for a powerful but slow recursion engine. Honestly though, almost every saga is going to be great...

Talking with one of my drafters, he mentioned he really didn't like Jace, Wielder of Mysteries since it didn't protect itself and costs triple blue. I can see that especially in a MP setting where 2-3 people are attacking you. Laboratory Maniac was too fragile for us, so enter: Thassa's Oracle...

He's been great in my "fast" multiplayer cube (which is still slower than regular 1vs1 most of the time). He is part of a bunch of small packages I run: 1. Cheat: Great way to complement black reanimation effects and enough pieces should you get them all that red can be a main cheat archetype...

Yes, it's probably less of a problem. However, the card is so good and efficient that I don't think it is reasonable to assume that it will go to the Izzet player even if the card is in those colors. You will likely go out of your way to splash for it if you are playing red or blue (at least I...

I see a few issues with it: 1. The competition: You run a high powered cube and this dude has to compete with these other sacrifice fodder pieces: Deranged Hermit and Deep Forest Hermit. They hit harder, they give you ETB synergies and go into more decks (depending on supported archetypes...

Especially if you are trying to have artifacts matter in your cube, I think he is a pretty big problem. It feels like you are including a specific hate card for that deck. I'll echo what everyone is saying: the +1 is amazing though. I decided to replace it with The Royal Scions. I don't...

I understand what you mean now. So like Naya lands: (Just putting some payoffs/enablers, there are other options to tweak power level) RW: Aggro landfall Low to the ground aggro deck that gets above average beaters with landfall. Adventuring GearSteppe LynxAkoum HellhoundFearless...

How about doing the following (random example): Define the broad theme as a shard/wedge Sultai: Graveyard Then define what each guild does UG: Madness BG: Lands UB: Self-mill aggro or control That way you get the best of both worlds. The challenge comes when one of your guilds comes up twice...

I like the premise of the cube. If you are going for aggro-combo, then Naya could be a landfall shard. The Sultai GY cards could include some land recursion that pulls double duty. I'd love to see some kind of Mardu control shard (I love those decks). Control decks like Mardu Pyromancer from...

I am looking for green removal to keep interactions open in all color pairs and was wondering what people though of these for highish power level: Primal MightInscription of Abundance I like the scalability of both of these. 1 mana fight is efficient and there is a possibility of fireballing...

I think I like the Oriflamme the best here, as it comes out cheap and works on all creatures, not just the smaller ones. It wasn't quite worth the card when I tried it, but it was close. Judith, the Scourge Diva and Domri, Anarch of Bolas have the same effect, but aren't narrow (obviously...

I haven't seen it mention here yet, but I like this thing for unblockable/discard synergies: Key to the City Also random deathtouch guys can be good (Mire Triton, Foulmire Knight as decent examples that fit into a few themes).

I run quite a lot of artifacts (don’t have as-fan number) or artifact producing cards. What has me questioning is this deck: https://www.cubecobra.com/cube/deck/5f3d3cf09a900d0f8bdcfc67 It’s a BG Pod deck that incidentally has a lot of artifacts. Having Marionette Master instead of Herald here...

Herald of Anguish vs Marionette Master or both?! I want an artifact payoff card for my black decks, but I cannot chose which one. My artifact decks are usually tokens, sacrifice and/or cheat decks and black takes part in all of these. Herald seems better in a generic deck (even casting him...
