    Alchemist's Crucible

    Sorry, not had a whole amount of time for cube recently, so a bit slack on replies. So, on power level strategies: 1. Know and be clear about your design philosophies for the cube Knowing how strong you want ramp and removal are two important cornerstones that will help you decide how other...

    General An auto-pick in synergy's clothing

    Though I will say I'm surprised it's taken so long to relegate smugglers copter, that thing is pretty busted. Hangerback saw the door a long time ago too, but I think like you, walking ballista is probably okay. Stonecoil Serpent is an interesting one. I like the variability in casting cost...

    Yeah, I got the feather train from Onder, its so nice giving boros a more interesting identity.

    Talk to me about bomat courier I see it in lots of lists. Do you need some way to make it hard to block? How many cards does it usually get cashed in for?

    General Exes Archetype

    Depends on how janky you want to go, and how much you want to design your cube with that interaction in mind. Rosheen Meanderer and Unbound Flourishing don't ask much of you in terms of card slots, but depends how deep you want to go in the theme. X spell permanents have a natural affinity...

    The problem with self mill protection is that they look so lackluster by themselves. Laming shaman is one of the best as it can also be used proactively against your opponents graveyard. There is also memory's journey Academy ruins Junktroller I find the land a bit too powerful.

    You'll get a lot out of the search functionality here, as there's been loads of gifts discussion. Even been a gifts archetypes thread: https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/gifts-archetypes.2000/#post-82237 Edit: though re-reading that thread again makes me want to add gifts ungiven and...

    Sets [IKO] Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths

    You are right Rasmus, but I think for me it goes back to the discussion we've had before about elegance and simplicity. Adding one or two playable mutate cards, one or two keyword counter cards and a couple of companions adds a lot more complexity to the draft and board - particularly mutate...

    Fiend Artisan Well, this is powerful. Question for me is how powerful? It seems like a great fit, but I don't want it to be overbearing. Gonna have to give it a try, but hopefully it's a good fit. Lurrus of the Dream-Den The companion text is so unnecessary and clumsy. If this was a white...

    Early Ikoria thoughts Rebuilding your cube from the ground up is never great during spoiler season as it's hard to get a solid picture of what you want and where you're going as, maybe there will be something great in the next day of spoilers. Current re-list build is here if you're interested...

    General Small archetype packages

    Mill is generally uninteractive, which is why it's so frustrating to play against. I like creatures that mill as they are the most easy to interactive with. I like vedalken entrancer As its almost a mini package in itself and great with clones and untap. Lower impact dakra mystic Hedron...
