Heading deeper into black... enslave Ritual of the machine

Perfect timing for the discussion on combo vs. midrange cubes. I really think that you need to include at least a few broken synergies for WotC to pay any attention to it.

Or, if it goes anything like last Conspiracy, you can take every single Goblin Balloon Brigade that no one wants and name Goblin Balloon Brigade with all 5 hidden agendas you drafted.

There's also Dominating Licid and Callous Oppressor.

I'm surprised they never made a Control Magic variant with Fading.

I've had some success with Ashnod's Altar as a colorless sac outlet. What do people think of Altar of Dementia? It's something I've been considering, lately. Seems sort of ideal for recurring zombie self-mill.

Hymn of the Wilds is a colorless mox that is always in your opening hand. It's absurdly powerful. Stunt Double is the clone I've been waiting for!

I've been slowly drawn to finding ways to add more narrow cards for these reasons. I don't see you as arguing for power max above, but rather a small dose of poison principle. I like your Goblin Lackey example. As I've said before, I feel like things are going well if the pure goodstuff decks...

Also, with regard to Sneak Attack, I remember getting smashed by this seemingly unstoppable combo sneak attack Weatherseed treefolk

The only creature to ever be awarded the prestigious "five red dots" by the InQuest Players' Guide.

I think the answer to this question depends a lot on which format. Here is my timeline of knowledge. Fallen Empires (1994) - Alliances (1996): The beginning. I played casual magic. I was in middle school. I remember going to one tournament and getting crushed by burn decks, strip mines...

It's alright. Not great. It's mostly there for fun interactions with sacrifice themes and welder. It's tough to find good 3-cost artifact creatures that are interesting.

Artifacts are an important part of my cube. Here's what I currently run for artifact creatures. Epochrasite Hangarback Walker Millikin Perilous myr Phyrexian revoker Spellskite Steel overseer Cathodion Deal broker Palladium myr Lodestone golem Masticore Solemn simulacrum Precursor golem...
