I love Thirst - the fact that it's an instant makes it better than Compulsive Research for me. But I run a lot of artifacts, so I may be biased.

What do you run that can reset Demonic Pact?

I'm surprised with Nyx-Fleece Ram didn't work out. Isn't it exactly what Enchantress needs? A defensive synergistic 2-drop at a good power level?

I run 25 legendary creatures in a 540, so not as narrow as you think.

Citadel Siege Monastery Siege Palace Siege Outpost Siege Frontier Siege Citadel is borderline GRBS in environments that are not too fast. I haven't tested Monastery Siege, looks a bit slow, but playable in low power. Palace Siege is great and fun for low-mid power, probably too slow for...

What Grillo said is very important: the graveyard matters cards can be broken up into multiple categories - any card in graveyard matters, creatures in graveyard matters, spells in graveyard matters, lands in graveyard matters... Treat them as different decks that have intersecting cards...

Nyx Weaver

I think so. But there are some other good ones, one I recently found out I ran (each card was added at different times for specific purposes): Spear of Heliod Bident of Thassa Whip of Erebos Hammer of Purphoros Bow of Nylea The former Khans cycle is all playable, too, though Surrak and Sidisi...

They don't get haste. This can abuse ETB or work defensively, but you'll need a way to give them haste to attack.

Note that at the time damage still stacked, it changed mid-2009. Also, the format was way, way slower at the time - you had time to capitalize on card advantage instead of dying with 4 cards in hand to a Titan. This part explains all other cards. Note how the theme is card advantage. I don't...

I've been looking for izzet spells that aren't burn + draw. Chimera has a good prospect: Runechanter's Pike has been great here, a 1/3 flying for 3 isn't embarassing, 2/3 is decent, 5/3 is good enough to drive people into spells matter. I like it.

Must've been in the art description. The MM/8E Cowardice flavor text is good too (not in a Shakespeare way though), but the art is not as funny. The flavor text and art should have been swapped.

Seconded, including the bold part. The powermax cubes of 2008-09 had way more situationally good cards than the ones today. Wizards printed a lot of cards that have no weaknesses, no setup cost since then, which led to a stale midrangey meta in powermax cubes. Until then, cube had a lot of the...

Thanks for the link. This looks good and is close to what I'm doing. The main differences are: He has 5 modules with non-even color distributions, while I'm going for 3 modules of even distributions. A design choice here, his approach solves one of my problems, which is to make sure all colors...

Ironically he most often melts ashtrays into Darksteel Colossus.

I prefer Spitemare to Boros Reckoner, it can be played in way more decks (a true hybrid card, triple hybrid means gold in limited) and it's still a good impact card for 4 mana. The targeted damage reflection ability is crazy good by itself, and synergizes well with other red board wipes...

Centaur Vinecrasher

You are then open to blowouts, though. I think swingy combat tricks like this is a good way of giving reach and creating tension while being beatable for any opponent. Become Immense requires some setup cost (some cards in graveyard, or a lot of mana).
