Utmost certainty, eh? I have it in my high powered list and it is awesome. It's not a universal good stuff powerhouse, but it fits well as a synergy piece in a lot of different decks. My list is particularly wanting of the synergy it provides however, so you'd have to try for yourself to see...

Feeling of Dread (Rasmus runs it, but didn't mention it ...so I guess I'll give the spiel.) Unassuming, but I've been quite happy with this. I run a higher powered cube, so I imagine it could do great things in the generally lower powered cubes here--especially because it fits well with a...

vs Thermo-Alchemist ? Thermo-Alchemist might be a good middle ground. It's also restricted to instants and sorceries, but has the upside of getting in consistent damage which might make it better for aggro decks. For more combo oriented decks, it blocks more effectively and comes down sooner...

Good timing! I was just rereading our discussion on this. Start here (http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/start-your-engines-a-temur-card-advantage-deck.1276/page-4#post-57145) and read until about here...

Offering up a couple that haven't been mentioned: Burning-Tree ShamanMina and Denn, Wildborn Burning-Tree Shaman still has a reasonable size and combined with the ability exerts a solid amount of pressure. I like it especially for my cube which has a lot of fiddly engine building stuff going...

Ongoing Investigation Ophidian force continue! Ongoing Investigation has been surprisingly good over here. It plays very well as a second Bident of Thassa effect. The cheaper cost has the upside of letting you 2 spell sooner or hold up counters. The downside of cracking clues isn't so bad if...

I am so much on the other side from everyone on this. I don't believe that Lorescale Coatl makes draft or construction any more interesting. Blue drafters already want to be filling their deck with good cantrips. Unless, your group really undervalues cantrips, I don't see this being a big...

I've played it in one cube deck (and one Ixalan draft deck), but I don't think I got an accurate picture from that. It was in a 1v1 "pancake" draft and my deck ended up enough better than his deck that it never felt like Deadeye Tracker made a huge difference. Not to say that it was or wasn't...

Anyone thought about Saving Grace at all? Some people have been fans of Harm's Way and this variant seems reasonably interesting as well. It doesn't quite have the same instant 2 for 1 value, but it has sustained value in combat heavy cubes. It also has enchantment/aura/heroic synergies that the...

Whew, I finally pumped out that ~500 word blurb. I've already gotten some feedback about refining my intro, but I won't be able to to get to it till after work (maybe I can work on it at lunch?). Regardless, I'm still just gonna toss out the blurb in case anyone has a chance to read / review...

I would try to use more space in the blurb talking about what each color does in particular. I doubt the judges have enough time to read through every cube list in full. The blurb is probably the best place to actually talk about what sets the cube apart on a micro level.

I think it's a little harder to get bot drafts that make sense for this cube because pick orders are so fluid within color. Also, I think it's important to highlight that it is still more along the lines of limited, where it's not likely to get a full on synergy deck (compared to a full on...

Normally, I would spend a few hours typing up a nice long detailed post. But the desire to do that has delayed this request for feedback long enough (since I haven't found the time to do a lot of typing in one sitting)... Here is a cube I built from scratch to submit for this contest...

Well... my argument is more that Vile Redeemer is a relevant 3/3 body with mild upside. Whereas Caller of the Claw is bad without the trigger, which constrains gameplay a lot. How are you using it with the trigger? If you're not doing something unfair with it... you're hoping to attack and trade...

Outside of the token context, I prefer Vile Redeemer. The floor is much higher. And if you are sacrificing nontokens, the smaller bodies you get back are not a deal breaker.

We've found Spider Spawning to be the best of the bunch. The 1/2 reach bodies are SO much better than the 1/1s. AND Spider Spawning makes more bodies on average. It's easier to set up and faster. Only Narset please. If I had to choose another one, Jeskai Ascendancy. To be fair, Jeskai...

Yes. Small sample (1), yes. Here's the deck that played it. Note: it was a 4 person draft with 5 packs of 9. Ones 1 Noble Hierarch 1 Birds of Paradise 1 Vault Skirge 1 Signal Pest 1 1 1 Springleaf Drum 1 Skullclamp Twos 1 Satyr Wayfinder 1 Duskwatch Recruiter 1 Strangleroot Geist 1 1 1 1...

Oh oops, I was lost. Time to see myself out. Kidding... I was curious cause Chris said it might not even need to be in the low power thread :) Besides, this thread has its gems. Shout out to Onderzeeboot for the Fury Charm suggestion. The potential of a main deckable pump spell + artifact hate...
