clone We talked a while ago, back in the combo tokens thread, about how you could use clones to help create deck consistency. Back then, we used then as an example with blood artist as part of aggro combo, but they work with anything where multiple creatures contribute to a win condition, with...

long-term plans :)

How does time spiral promise a lab man win?

I'm gonna give the stone a try. I can understand people choosing Jace, but it's just a power pick, whereas at least stone encourages archetypes. We'll see. Anyhow, how about long-term plans Looks..cool? Good with cycling etc?

I really like engineered explosives. It has a lot of play to it and requires careful play to get the most out of it. You do need a mana base that supports it - I have vivids and tri lands. There's also other cool artifact synergy too. Eg. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/870736[/url]"] Ones 1 Aether...

Yeah, it's format dependent but is decent in both aggro and controlling builds. It can be a bit of a do nothing but is build around support that requires a decent density of discard. When you're just cycling or tormenting voice-Ing then it's not affecting your board position, but when your...

Yeah, maybe I should give adept a try too. Grillo, didn't you try it I seem to remember? Lol that sigh and Don just drafted two more decks to test out the approach. Both look quite good.

For you, you don't have any Artifact reanimation, so this decision is about ramp and control. You only have Ral Zalek for Untap so that isn't massively relevant. If blue green is a control archetype then you might want the removal of staff of nin. If your control decks always have planeswalkers...

I'm not sure it's the discard outlets that are the problem, it's more the density of the trigger effects. The modern deck is effectively aggro combo (I think). You could put in plenty of discard effects, but I don't think you can get the consistency of triggers. However there is an aggro...

Anybody have experience with cumber stone I have memories of Jace, AOT holding off hoards with his +1, and not being able to attack and kill the stone makes me slightly worried. I like giving blue another Artifact that strengthens the Artifact control decks, and a way to 'answer' token swarm.

Purpheros is very strong. I think it'd be a good rector target, you have sac effects for the rector which overlaps with the tokens you want for purpheros. Look how sick it is with goblin trenches, way strong. Rasmus, are you still aiming for low power? I know power is subjective but there are...

You know when you eat too much cake and then you feel sick? Well that's kind of how I feel after fiddling around with my cube over the last few weeks. There's a lot which I think is good, but a lot which I've probably messed up. Here's most of the recent changes: WHITE IN Cogworker's puzzleknot...

I'm still down with not forgotten scrabbling claws junktroller They all look fairly low powered, but work in other ways too. Not forgotten, is a noxious revival as well when you want it to be and the token is usually useful. Claws is good with trinket mage/salvagers/salvaging station...

Fallow earth is either a bit of a do nothing or frustrating timewalk, not sure it's good to go. Re painful memories, I think I prefer: psychotic episode Sawback manticore is old school cool, but way to weak at that cost I think. Mask of memory, with any kind of evasion is absolutely...

Sifter Wurm looks really good here. It tramples, so you can fling a few green deserts at it to trample over for the win. Shefet monitor is really a 4CC instant, so I think you can fit it in. I'm not feeling a lot of love for root elemental though, but maybe it plays better than it looks...

Your changes all look decent. On the searing meditation life-gain deck. You've got two approaches (and can do both) - include tutors that can search for meditation, or have other lifegain matters build around cards so you have redundancy for the deck. I happen to like tutors for this reason...

Shrine is super good, for all sorts of reasons (tokens, artifacts, white spell velocity). Monument I've just taken out. It was either too generic token making, or you were aiming for some sort of combo with kor skyfisher et al. It's just a bit narrow.

Id be interested to see where you go with these changes. I think your analysis of the problems are spot on, particularly the vanilla creatures issue. It's depressing to have to fill your deck with them when you're pushing for a synergy deck. I'd be cautious about going heavy handed with wraths...
