One weird issue I'm encountering is that a lot of the most interesting artifact creatures cost 2. Usually the problem is everything costing 4. Spellskite, Steel Overseer, Iron Myr, Perilous Myr, Porcelain Legionnaire, Epochrasite, Phyrexian Revoker, Immolating Souleater CC1 is much less...

I'm one of those neanderthals who plays with actual cards (even I do Sharpie the fuck out of them at times), so I haven't played with the Commander cards yet. Welder went undrafted, but that wasn't too surprising as it was a 4x32 Westchester draft and I didn't really up the artifact count yet.

It might not be relevant to too many cubes, but Sakura Tribe Elder being able to kill himself at instant speed is important for decks where graveyard count matters. This was important in my last 3-0 count for hitting Threshold and getting out Skaab Ruinator in time. I think Viridian Emissary's...

Shelter never seems to fail to win a game when it makes a final 40. I don't think reactive cards are the best place to push a theme, I'd rather have the best card. I run shelter in my cube and not the other two even though I have a token theme. Test Of Faith is the card I would run if I...

That's one well positioned Gray Merchant!

I think they're doing a good job of appealing to a broad audience. They need to continue to improve the mana and lower the curve, though, adjusted for the lands/size that cube had DOUBLE the 4+ CC cards that mine does. Going in on some kind of thematic goal (even if its a meta-theme like "Legacy...

More broadly, are any of the tap to do damage to attackers/blockers cuberific? Cards like Heavy Ballista and Ballista Squad were all stars in their respective draft formats, but I don't think those abilities translate well into most cubes. Brigid, Hero of Kinsbaile is the Cadillac of these...

I think the simplest solution is to make it come into play tapped.

After drafting yesterday I'm thinking about giving this guy a second look, the market for trample can be pretty huge

5 mana cards that require you to untap, then pump even more mana into them to be useful suck if they don't kill your opponent's creatures while hitting for craptons of damage right? Oh well, not every card can be a hit.

I've played Tezz in other people's cubes enough to believe that you don't need that many artifacts to make him work. I'm 100% sure I actually like what he does that much. I've gotten epochrasite suggested to me numerous times, so I might try him, but it just doesn't seem that good. I like...

I'm thinking some combination of these artifacts could be mixed in: Brass Man, Hex Parasite, Chromatic Star, Sylvok LifeStaff Steel Overseer, Iron Myr, Epochrasite, Shrine of Burning Rage, Baleful Strix Shrine of Loyal Legions , Godsend Bonehoard, Bident of Thassa Triskelion, Scuttling Doom...

Some of the cards don't work because they more support an "artifacts matter them" that requires a critical mass. Karn and Chief Engineer. Steel Overseer is pretty bad without mass, but provides +1/+1s for that theme and has extra synergy with triskelion and Mindless Automaton, so its something...

Its not that Myriad Landscape would be better if it put the land into your hand, its that cultivate has the advantage of guaranteeing your fifth land because it puts a land into your hand. Myriad Landscape can't put the next land drop in your hand, because as you sacrifice a land to cast it, it...

Unlike cultivate it doesn't guarantee your 5 land drop, because it puts the second basic into play replacing it instead of in your hand. Being a "come into play tapped colorless land" isn't exactly a good thing either. That said, I think this is a rock solid utility land because it does do a lot...

Also, Unstable Obelisk might be a mana rock that I'd actually run.

Hydra's revelation, I really like that. An enchantments matters Path to Vindicate is interesting, though maybe not desirable. Comeuppance seems like it could be a giant roundhousekick in the face as lots of cube dudes have higher power then toughness. White control is a pretty shit deck in...

Just under 5%, including the 4 artifact/enchantments. The utility draft gives access to the lands. If this is going to work, I'm going to have to tinker it a little bit. Some artifacts I'm considering adding are: Epochrasite, Triskelion, Bident of Thassa, Shrine of Loyal LegionsTumble...

Yeah, I think artifact creatures are the right direction in that you don't need specific cards to kill them. I'm not stuffing Keldon Vandals and company into this cube. Eldrazi Monument, for example, would be the wrong direction. God, why is origin spellbomb so bad? I guess it triggered...
