I feel Young Pyromancer is an absolute staple, as are similar cards like it (The Raven Man, Springheart Nantuko, etc.). The problem, like Nanonox says, is that it doesn't trigger on non-creatures only instant/sorceries. The spells deck is hard to draft because you need both creatures and spells...

Simulacrum Synthethizer is a cool design but it plainly did not work in my cube. There just aren't enough high cost artifacts and, if you do try to force it, you just end up with an unplayable curve. I'll probably cut it at some point, and see if I can fit something else instead.

So what's the deal with Sail into the West? Isn't it just a discard your hand/draw 7? Do people run it because Timetwister and Windfall are too cheap?

Right now, there are only four cards I feel bad about in my cube. My plan is to replace them and see if I can print proxies to play in two weeks. Suggest me some fun stuff in green and 1 blue card to replace this: Ancient Stirrings Edge of Autumn Primal Command Simulacrum Synthesizer

This is absolutely true, and ,indeed, a widespread problem in game design. After all, the easiest way to balance a game is by making it dull. For me the telltale sign of a card being bad for my cube is being forced to take it even when it's not fun. It's like drafting power, you see a Mox Jet...

I've been tweaking the cube, partly to smooth out mana curves, get rid of underperformers and such. Still, there's some archetype work as well: RED COPY STORM I had already wet my feet with a couple cards, so I decided to try the rest: Seething Song Seething Song Bonus Round Krark, the...

I'm looking for two cards. - A replacement for Light up the Stage to avoid the Spectacle text. - A token maker to replace Pest Infestation, which is busted. Awaken the woods seems bad? Light Up the Stage Pest Infestation

A couple in each case. Not many of either.

Wicked Wolf vs Blossoming Tortoise Reliable kill spell or unique land effect? Let me decide!

There is a real potential for the Squandered archetype. These cards are already in our cubes or easy to slot in: Parasitic: Second Sunrise Faith's Reward Natural Balance Scapeshift Natural Balance only finds basics, but it puts them into play untapped. There are a ton of similar effects...

I just drafted a deck around Wildfire and, to my surprise, I kept adding creatures that survived it until they became the majority of the deck. It seems to lean too much into the expensive side, but it should actually play great. What do you think...

After going through countless changes, I've realized that I just don't have enough archetypes in my cube. That's why I can cut and add so many cards, they could all be Brushwhagg and nothing would change! Here's a rought list of my archetypes: AGGRO Humans Champion of the Parish Thalia's...

Kaerverk is great. My issue with it is that it promotes black so much. It's not that it recurs black cards, that's fine. It's that the best cards to go with it are Dark Ritual, Fatal Push and Thoughtseize. So it's too monoblack for my tastes. Fun card, though!

I just want to say, I tried out your cube and I loved the premise a lot. I like the archetypes and how they worked!

Focusing on a different cheat package is something to consider, particularly if I want to differentiate the artifact deck from, well, everything else! Personally, I don't like Natural Order much (why? isn't Tinker better already?), but Flash looks like something more of us should try. I never...

Vampiric Tutor Demonic Tutor Both extremely powerful cards. Which one do you prefer and why? Is Demonic "too easy" or "a bit too expensive"? Is not getting the card into your hand with Vampiric a huge issue for combo? Do you mind the change in CMC? Let me know!

Replenish Standstill Sheoldred, The Apocalypse Terror of the Peaks Tchotchke Elemental Cruel Ultimatum Tangle Wire Mindslaver

I'm reworking the chunk of the cube that isn't performing and one archetype I'm hopeful for is RG Monsters: Tarmogoyf Burning-Tree Emissary Mawloc Flamewake Phoenix Pyrogoyf Terror of the Peaks Embercleave Ox of Agonas EDIT: Forgot about this: Bristly Bill, Spine Sower Most of these cards...

Safra sent me a few Legacy Replenish decklist and I love how they look. First, you have what I think is the best approach: Just using it a big value card with cheap or general-use enchantments: Colossal Landstill Shark Typhoon Dress Down Standstill Colossal Skyturtle But it's a shame I cannot...

It's hard and sometimes the cards you need just don't exist. Personally, I just go through cycles of just changing cards in and out and being careful about what archetypes exist and how they are performing. Simply drafting a ton and making a list of what decks were drafted can help a lot. As...
