Anyone tried Sai, Master Thopterist How much of an artifact density do you need before he's good. Is getting an average of 2 triggers enough? Edit: Similar question for Scrap Trawler

I wouldn't be too surprised to see Overload come back on the basis that Cyclonic Rift desperately needs a reprint for commander - it's the second most played card in the format after Sol Ring and it's up to 20 bucks, and it wasn't in any of the 2018 commander decks. There'll probably be a...

I've played Chandra, Firebrand before but she eventually got cut for being a bit underpowered.

Perhaps "build-arounds" is a better term than "single card archetypes", but at that point it's just semantics really. I think we're all on the same page here.

I haven't run it yet but I think it'll be in for my next draft: Hardened Scales Although it kind of goes with Abzan Falconer and Reyhan, Last of the Abzan so maybe it's not strictly a single card archetype.

There's also Lys Alana Huntmaster

Are you still on Doomsday?

You could use a Vanguard, just looking quickly Barrin gives +6 life and doesn't affect hand size. Just agree not to use the avatar power.

Delver also suffers from the much higher land counts you tend to have in limited. If you look at RUG Delver in legacy, it plays 18-19 lands in a 60 card deck; if you're playing 17 in your 40 card deck that's about a 10% increase. You'd need to run a 12-13 land deck to get the same ratio, which...

1W 2/2 Lifelink is alright in an aggressive deck and it has some pretty good upside in the late game. Think about using it to rebuy Lightning Bolt in RW aggro. It's also much better than usual in the aggro mirror.

It's been pretty rare that it's been anything other than a 2/2 Lifelink, but even just giving lifelink to one or two burn spells puts it above curve, and if you ever manage to activate the ability it's a pretty big game. I like it pretty well. It's also a Human if you support that.

I'm proud of you.

I haven't cubed it myself but I believe lots of people like Mask of Memory. There's also Mortarpod, which I do like as a powered down version of Goblin Bombardment. For counterspells, maybe Memory Lapse?

I meant to dig this up and put it in my post, but we had a thread on fair Tinker a while ago here: https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/fair-tinker.954/

You seem to be very conservative on your removal. In my experience, I much prefer limited play when the removal is good. Even if you don't want to play the very best removal (Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exil, Go for the Throat), I wouldn't run cards like Killing Glare or Smith the Monstrous...

I mean, I think you read my question as "is there any reason to play a less powerful card over a more powerful one", which is worth discussing, but I was talking about those actual cards. The signalling point especially in respect of the Phantom is a good one, but I don't find either the power...

I'm confident that if I asked any drafter after every game that they missed on Glint-Nest Crane whether they'd prefer to swap it out for a Seacoast Drake, they'd say no. It seems absurd to me to argue that you might not want a card in the cube because it doesn't have its best case scenario 100%...
