I think it can work! I run a saboteurs theme in Simic, and it's great! It is better supported in Dimir, but I found Simic in need of an identity, and I think it's a pretty fresh archetype in those colors. I think the key is to emphasize it as a card advantage engine, with less emphasis on...

This deck is very handsome; thanks for drafting! Regarding the bolded, are there any instants in particular you can think of that you were looking for as payoffs? I would love to make sure a deck like this is amply supported, so any ideas in that regard would be greatly appreciated!

I agree! In fact, magic wording has a cadence to it that I actually find pleasing. There's enough of an art to templating a magic card that it ends up being aesthetically satisfying when it's done well (Sarkhan's Unsealing is not a good example of this!)

I run a WB lifegain theme, and the cards I have tagged as "payoffs" are the following: Sanguine BondMalakir FamiliarBloodbond VampireAjani's PridemateAyli, Eternal PilgrimCradle of Vitality

Got some play in with this cube last weekend. I had to hurry out at the end so did not collect deck lists, but I have a few items that came up that I'm curious for feedback on. The first thing to point out is that there were three of us, with a fourth that would be arriving later in the day so...

Maybe it's new card glasses, but I'm tempted to run Meteor Golem. Seems like a fun fair target for Goblin Welder, plus gets incidental bonuses from the splicers!

Taking a quick look at your cube: in my opinion you have more than enough mass removal. For targeted removal, one issue might be that you have relatively few ways to deal with toughness 4+ creatures. Looks like you have 35 creatures with toughness 4+ (not counting tokens), which may be on the...

I'd be interested to hear reports on how Multani plays. I was very excited to add him when he was first spoiled, but shied away after a little consideration. He has so many cool interactions, but I was afraid the overall power level would overwhelm the more interesting elements in my...

Somebody please stop me I'm coming up with 14 cmc combos. Desecrated Tomb + Eater of the DeadHair-Strung Koto

Yeah, I knew this and then somehow forgot when making my post about Treasure Cruise. In retrospect, why would I be excited about Treasure Cruise and not Nihil Spellbomb if I thought that was the case? Oh well, it's much more fun this way because it starts warping your mind to the point of...

Especially nice with Ajani's Pridemate or Bloodbond Vampire

Re: Bloodwater Entity vs. Enigma Drake, one thing worth taking a look at is the number of flashback cards you run in UR. I have a pretty high density of flashback so decided not to run Enigma Drake because it's a nonbo. Of course, I could see an argument that, rather than looking strictly at...

Man, designing cards is hard!

Oh man, Desecrated Tomb is probably really bad, but it sets off my jank-meter. Kind of a nice way to help balance the give and take between graveyard-centric decks and graveyard hate, and good fun with cards like Bloodsoaked Champion, Gravecrawler, and Squee, Goblin Nabob. Not to mention...

Was looking at Nightshade Assassin in my cube, which is almost the Nekrataal variant that I want, and wishing that this card existed: Agnostic Assassin {2}{B}{B} Creature - Human Assassin First strike When Agnostic Assassin enters the battlefield, target creature an opponent controls gets...

Thanks Onderzeeboot ! I think you’ve zeroed in a few cards there that I definitely need to think about cutting. I’m comfortable with the double-CC noncreature cards and Keeper of the Dead (this wants a full graveyard so, like you alluded to, isn’t really a turn 2 play anyway). That leaves...

If you just want to skip all the boring stuff, the cube is here: http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/95826 Before diving into my cube, a little background that might help clarify any blatantly weird decisions I’ve made. I am not only a cube newbie, I am a relatively new to Magic entirely. While...
