What do people think of Rat Tribal as a low-power Black sub-archetype? It'd be focused around this guy: Piper of the Swarm Most of the actual rats would be little cuties like: Lab RatsTyphoid RatsBurglar RatNezumi ShortfangRancid RatsRotting RatsCrypt RatsStronghold RatsOkiba-Gang...

How could I miss Lovestruck Beast? I absolutely love the "better with flyers out" spells that they've printed - they're a way better design than yet another "this creature has power and toughness equal to the number of flyers you have". Rally of WingsAerial AssaultLofty DenialWinged...

"Weenies Matter" could be hilarious for a low-power theme. Just run a bunch of 1/1s, and then run cards like: Mentor of the MeekMilitia BuglerRecruiter of the GuardSlaughter the StrongVesperlarkSolar TideSidar Kondo of JamuraaSigil Captain Green has some pretty neat 1/1s outside of the...

@ravnic, do you have this boyo in your cube? Dreamscape Artist A bit slow, maybe, but an off-color Harrow spellshaper might be a good inclusion.

So, what are people's worst archetypes? What decks just never come together, regardless of what you've tried?

But hey, if you did have four counters on her beforehand... boom, you've got a 9/9 as your Wildfire follow-up.

Opposition Agent looks fine to me, honestly, because there are fewer ways to force someone to tutor. If you wheel with Hullbreacher out, not only do you get the whole Narset "I draw cards and you don't" thing, but you also get a bunch of treasures, effectively making the wheel free. Then you...

Actually, that's a question - do people think the Mythoi worth running if you're already supporting wedges? Or are there more interesting/fun cards that you could put in those slots? Mythos of SnapdaxMythos of IllunaMythos of NethroiMythos of VadrokMythos of Brokkos

This is going to sound really dumb, but how long do you project that each draft would take? I've... actually never drafted a cube before. (EST (GMT-5) for me as well. I'll PM you my Discord name if I think I'll have time - stupid grad school blocking me from enjoying the finer things in life.)

Oh, right, the thing I actually came to this thread to ask about: Disciple of Deceit How much effort would it take to make this lady into a decent build-around? She looks like she works well with Madness and other discard payoffs, but I might just be imagining things.

I'm guessing that it could give those decks a more "constructed" feel, in a bad, "they're overly consistent" way. Plus, the payoffs tend to be either kinda terrible or fantastic. Though I think you could make a Simic archetype around it that might have some play to it? Augury AdeptSkill...

If you run Generous Patron, why not include some cards that punish having counters? Cytoplast ManipulatorRazorfin AbolisherHunter of EyeblightsKulrath Knight And there's always this cycle: ShinewendFloodchaserFestercreepStingmoggieFertilid Fertilid makes a sweet combo with Evolution...

There's also... Mystic Sanctuary Which could support a Miracle theme in a cube with a bunch of value discarding. Or jank - jank's always fun! Hidden RetreatLeashlingSurvivor of the Unseen If only the Survivor didn't have such a harsh upkeep...

This is a bit of an odd question, but... I have an idea for a cube where Red represents "burning" mana - in other words, all red mana symbols are phyrexian mana. In exchange, red mana is going to be hard to come by reliably. Are there any red cards that people can think of that would be fun...

This search finds all 30 mono-colored legendary creatures with off-color abilities. Weirdly enough, it looks like there are only two two-colored commanders that have off-color abilities... and both of them are Gruul 5-drops: Jegantha, the WellspringSamut, Voice of Dissent

They aren't high-powered cards, but I'm fond of the following in Red: Reality ScrambleReckless FireweaverThunder Brute Reality Scramble is a really fun way to cheat out creatures or artifacts if you have any ability to make tokens. It's also a great way to get stuff that got stolen from you...

One big issue that I can see is that 5 mana is pretty expensive for sacrifice fodder. Sure, you can get seven sacrifices out of it, but that's the spot in your curve where you probably want some payoffs or engine pieces rather than more fodder.

This is probably an incredibly stupid question, but... I made a 180 card pile of random cards¹ a while ago, out of boredom/quarantine (woo quarantine!), and recently my FLGS reopened for play, so I thought "ah, I'll take it in and see if anyone wants to test it out". And then it hit me. How...

I misread Paliano Vanguard as working like Noble Banneret, which is... less than impressive in singleton. Good catch!

Of the other sets I can think of, two of them probably don't belong in this thread (the Kaldra set and Tron) and the rest are pretty bad (sticking to the sets of 3+ cards that reference specific card names, to skip over the Planeswalker search cards and stuff like Kookus): Alpine...
