    General How to execute a minimalist Artifact theme

    Yeah, I think this is completely doable. Kind wish there were a few more colored artifacts, but what are you going to do.

    General How to execute a minimalist Artifact theme

    Engineered Explosives is in my cube right now. While its usually not good to grab with welder, being able to cast it for zero is good to feed welder. I don't think any of the other sunburst cards are very enticing, but I could have missed one of them. Getting the right pool of "not as...

    General How to execute a minimalist Artifact theme

    My everpresent hope for drafting mechanics is increasing potential deck diversity by opening up thematic angles to build decks around and brewing space with interesting cards that might have unintended consequences. I avoid draft tension like the plague and don't mind having a relatively large...

    Or more succinctly, is Goblin Welder sweet enough to just throw in a cube that doesn't have giant robots, mana rocks and tons of brown cards?

    General How to execute a minimalist Artifact theme

    I like the goblin walker because of the insane crossover with graveyard themes. Welder seems to be a straightfoward incentive card that also overlaps with graveyard themes. To this I'm having a little trouble. I've got good support for black/red sacrifice stuff, so Disciple of the Vault could...

    As someone who doesn't run pod, I never think about how podable a card is, but you know, you're right, this thing is really poderific.

    General How to execute a minimalist Artifact theme

    I don't know if I actually want to do this, but I'd like to know what doing so would require. 1) I guess an artifact theme needs artifacts, but since artifacts are colorless they already have an increased range of decks they fit in. Therefore, the artifacts chosen need to be either somewhat...

    This set ALMOST has me considering trying to work in an artifact theme, but there are still two huge factors in the way: 1) Artifacts are colorless, which makes it hard to include them inside my narrow color pie 2) I run every other theme imaginable, so I probably can't fit it in.

    Anyone remember me complaining about a lack of white graveyard matters effects? This card is pretty nutty.

    Even the blue lieutenant seems reasonable, which is strange considering it has a keyword that doesn't even work outside of EDH. Compare with Benthic Giant. Lots of interesting designing. I mean, there is plenty of EDH garbage (Offerings, other Lts, Assault Suit, Commander's sphere, Blood...

    So the stoneforge mystic is a planeswalker now? Unfortunately as someone who runs artifacts on a purely "as needed" basis, the last two planeswalkers missed my mark completely. The goblin dude does seem sweet, though.

    While I was making my list of effects that work with her, when I got to gargadon I started cracking up at the thought . On a related note, he's also pretty good with reef worm.

    Innistrad Themed Cube: 360 Unpowered

    Culling Dais I've often considered this card. As far as awesomely durdly engines go, combine it with trading post for laughs. Sure, it isn't ramp, but drawing cards to hit land drops is certainly something.

    Think about all those spells snapcaster copies, then think about how awesome it would be if you didn't need to pay mana for them or even have the play them in your deck. Having a fork that gives you a dude without a RR casting cost would be been an eternal superstud.

    Yeah, reef worm is a beast with any free sac outlet. Freyalise can get in line with the other 5 mana green walkers I don't run. Myriad Landscape is a potential utility land draft pick.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Maybe I'll try it. I don't know. Probably should start with a less stupid card as a base. Mourning and Leshrac's Sigil aren't really exciting designs to build off of. I guess Glistening Oil is sort of a card that does something?
