If you want to retain 'aggro' in some form, I suggest looking at aggro-combo decks. They're a lot more fulfilling to draft/play, at least IMO, and they're no less insular than normal aggro decks. Isamaru might 'seem' like a versatile card, but it really isn't.

Is aggro more fun than stuff you can do when you're not packing a third of the slots (at a conservative estimate) with cards that only truly belong in aggro?

Aggro doesn't seem like something you can dial back only partially to me, unless it's heavily overpowered or takes up a very large number of slots in your Cube. If you don't commit to it then nobody will want to draft it, and then Firedrinker Satyr and friends will be slumming it together in...

I'm completely behind cutting aggro. For as much as we talk about certain archetypes being 'poisonous', aggro is more guilty of that than anything else. You can replace a lot of the unexciting aggro creatures with a handful of narrow cards that enable interesting decks as well as cheap cards...

Melee playoffs were great fun as always

For blue, Clones + undying guys was a neat interaction in Standard (Butcher Ghoul, Geralf's Messenger etc). They also go really well with Blood Artist/Diregraf Captain and stuff like Sedraxis Alchemist/Gray Merchant.

Nah, it takes you like five seconds to even realize the Leech is there, but maybe that's the idea.

Crime // Punishment What are your thoughts on this card, and how many tries do you think it took to autocard correctly?

A lot of the artifact stuff is really janky. Arsenal Thresher and Sludge Strider are bad most of the time and the BCS isn't even that good for either of them. I like Filigree Angel over Sphinx Sovereign. Vedalken Engineer? Esper Stormblade is a really nice crossover between artifacts +...

artifact dragons you say? Steel Hellkite Chief Engineer also looks sweet here when M15 comes out

I like River Kelpie, and Alchemist is interesting.

Grenzo is delightful. It closes out the game in an unpredictable (and unriggable) way and is just good fun overall.

It's the black 2-drop you've been looking for!

I fully support Dragonstorm!

The fact that you have to debate what banding did automatically makes it a terrible mechanic. Infect is the WOAT in my eyes

Civilized Scholar yo Rapid Hybridization seems like a natural fit for UB Zombies too
