So I'm going to quickly weigh in on the 4-of rule. Lets reduce this to a minimum: Imagine magic where there's only creatures, and resources are generated by some mechanism instead of there being lands, and there's no 4-of. One of the better decks will probably be 40 'best one drop', or maybe...

So magic the gathering then?

I didn't realise there was a wildfive wildfiver? help me workshop this joke guys

I prefer non-shenanigans mode to shenanigans.

Without testing, it feels like the optimal thing to do is tap out as soon as you get far enough behind that you'll have to luck out to win, to preserve those cards for the next time where they'll be more likely to be impactful? Like, if I've got 3 outs, its better for me to scoop than to try and...

Which forums? I mean, it's probably changling bob or some variation there on.

Spider spawning looks like it'd fit into multiple graveyard/sac themes.

Although I realise CML has enough obstreper for all of us.

I have no idea what's going on by I totally want to go be obstreperous on and/or against our collective behalf.

It looks like it's supposed to be drafted in 17 card packs, fwiw. E: actually, it looks like the author's testing 18 card packs at the moment.

'Whenever this creature attacks a planeswalker, it gets +2/+0 until end of turn' You're welcome, go crazy. Also yours for free '2 damage to a creature, 3 damage to a planeswalker, or 4 damage to a player'. Uncostable due to its variance in effect and utterly dependent on there being...

So ignoring the 'cast this normally mode', you have 5U card vs 2U scry 3. This is the difference that Anotak was talking about, in that speculation will never actually net you a card, and drawing arbitrarily many cards is a bunch more mana than scry arbitrarily. Conversely! At 6 mana in a blue...

So this is a little left field, but lets work backwards from something where we know how much value the top of someone's deck is. In Netrunner (drink), one way the runner can win the game straightforwardly is to be able to access more cards from the top of the corp deck than the corp can draw...

The point of ninjutsu in flavour is to flash a dude in instead of someone who's not blocked for value, so sabateur makes more sense. With that said, a flash fating guy with etb isn't stupid, and ninjutsu does most of that, it just requires an attacking man. Really its a victim of kamigawa's...

And I suspect the cubes for which pyro don't make a good showing, that's not good enough because of heavy top-end or heavy control, and that's probably too much power in the cube. My prefered power level is below that; it's probably one of those 'do you prefer games to feel like constructed or...

Well sure, if you have free choice of any extant card to put in your deck, you can build whatever combo you feel like (modulo ability to win turn 2 or whatever the target is). If you have to draft the cards, the chances of the good pyro deck coming together is lower than the chance of the good...

If the spell is doing anything other than card drawing, that 4:1 ratio probably drops a bunch. If you're just after raw card draw/quality, you need more scry to make up for not being a card draw, but as a rider on a spell instead of a cantrip I think it's probably different.

Looking at that deck list, if you're trying to get value out of young pyro while the cube's power level is inferno titan and bonfire, I'm not convinced it's going to work out. That's some pretty disparate power level.

Cut your top end. If the stuff you're reanimating is jumping you a turn or two of curve rather than ending the game, then entomb/reanimate is a cheaper demonic tutor/dark ritual with more vulnerability to hate. Assuming you're running hate. With specifically entomb/reanimate you're limiting...
