This is a good post and I want to spend time thinking about it, but my time has been aggressively stolen by Crusader Kings 2. On the plus side I am king of England now! I will get back to this Soon(TM) though.

I don't have a set of well defined goals, other than 'playing big dumb stuff should be fun'. It's basically not quite a timmy cube, I guess? It's what everyone wishes EDH was but isn't? That sort of goal.

I'm continuing to have doubts about artifacts, so thinking about other WUx themes. Brainstorm time (the activity, not the card): Merfolk/fish Skies Prison-y/fun police go here miracles (blech) Cawblade without the caw (draft secret summoning) and with considerably less good blades Slivers...

You'd be short on creatures, I think.

There's also strixen to add if we want some generic coloured artifactmans, and I've got my eye on sculler for the fun police.

So sphinx sovereign might be a better pick than filigreed angel. We can cut the etherium sculptors and shuffle things around. Maybe I could take out etherium sculptor and kinda go with the recursion theme rather than the beaters theme. Cut a thresher, go to double sanctum gargoyle rather than...

Yeah I got that feeling laying them out. I do think that some casual bonesplitters, plus density of deal brokers helps with this. It's definitely something I'm keeping an eye on. Once the core stuff is a bit more laid out, I'll either come back and cut some artifacts-matters stuff and add some...

Chief engineer might be better than double etherium sculptor, or maybe he won't! This is hard! I think I prefer steel hellkite to moltensteel, as moltensteel secretly costs 4. I don't know how i missed it in my (multiple) searches though. Plus its a 5 power!

OK, artifacts. This is hard; there's a lot. It looks like we're going to do some recurssion-y stuff with artifacts, because we can a bit, without worrying about proper reanimator style shenanigans. We're not tinkering, but we might shape anew. So there's two types of pull cards for this...

Oh hey, changelings. I somehow forgot about them. That first list is also pretty useful; there's some stuff there I'd passed over on the first look, but actually look super neat on the second. The changelings especially look useful as I need some stuff that costs less than six to make the deck...

Environment?

Also, shouldn't this theme overlap with other themes, not just other colours? This seems tricky, depending on what your themes are.

Whenever an attacking creature is blocked, those creature's controllers exchange control of those creatures at end of combat. Not that that actually functions as written, but you get my point.

Tresserhorn is mad cheap at {4} with worldknit/unexpected potential, so probably not him.

Looking at our non-cruel ultimatum top ends in grixis I've found these: sedris, the traitor king lord of tresserhorn thraximundar These all fit our unearth/sacrifice/self-mill/multicolour/being huge theme, so I might go with some, none or more of these. Thraxi is a bit self-completing. Sedris...

Dragonstorm! I fully expect this to be very silly as is here and need revising. The mana curves are well out, but we'll get all our themes laid down before we worry about that too much; broad strokes to start, details later. Dragonstorm Manamorphose Manamorphose How I storm? Manamorphose also...

On review, I'm actually partial to cut haste conspiracy and add squadron hawk conspiracy and bop conspiracy. Reasons: squadron hawk only works on things that a) have multiples in the cube and b) you draft multiples of, making it not an instant gimmie conspiracy draft, unlike the others. Bop...

Anyone who doesn't does not support fun.

I'm tempted to stick 4 sentinels in consipricube(TM) and see what happens. Given I'm expecting worldknit dragons and cruel ultimatums, or at least mono-red unexpected potential-ing scapeshift/valakut combo, it can't be the most degenerate thing around.
