I recently picked my guitar back up after nearly a decade hiatus. So I’ve been spinning an old favorite album of mine. Polvo - Celebrate the New Dark Age. I love the whole album. and I’ve been listening to this one on repeat lately and aweek doesn’t go by where I don’t listen to Kendrick or...

Same here. My two favorite Emry contexts: Baleful Strix Executioner's Capsule Smuggler's Copter and Vesperlark Mesmeric Orb Thassa's Oracle

Wow....that seems needlessly confusing, and now I'm significantly less enthusiastic about Saga. Thanks for spelling it out for me

Crap. Trying to work and forum is a dangerous combo, kids. That's substantially less good for my uses. Well, it still technically fetches Stonecoil/Hangarback/Ballista, they are just dead on arrival (barring something like an anthem or renata in play). Explosives can still hit tokens when...

The Mirari Conjecture is such a blast. I'm a big fan of that one...I really had some fun decks in Azorius prowess tokens based around: Monastery Mentor Battle Screech Snapcaster Mage The Mirari Conjecture Migratory Route Rise from the Tides It's fun. It's easy to wrap your head around. The...

I'm a big fan of Emry, Lurker of the Loch . It scales reasonable well in power level. It's an excellent enabler. It obviously has a low floor, because without X many artifacts in your deck it really just inefficiently fuels your graveyard. I also really like the welders...engineer has one less...

I'm very worried that one day every card I want for my cube will be available in the old border, and I'm going to need to sell my house to fund that cube update

Also: Gilded Goose Esika's Chariot and the taboo: Skullclamp

You already run most of the ones I would suggest, but some others to consider: Stonecoil Serpent Urza's Bauble Phyrexian Metamorph Executioner's Capsule Tangle Wire Spellskite Icehide Golem I don't consider Bygone Bishop very high powered, but you run Tireless Tracker which is somewhat...

I am 1000% including Urza's Saga in my main cube. I've been dying for more artifact and land intersections. I'm particularly excited for it in Gruul with land recursion and things like Goblin Welder and Tireless Tracker. It also is a bauble fetcher for my pet card Scrap Trawler. Gets your...

It's really a bummer that the DFCs are so awkward, because I really enjoy the design of many of them in theory.

I really like Fastbond, it adds some explosiveness to green that isn’t about turning creatures sideways. I always really liked being able to use wheel effect in a turbo ramp deck...gruul usually wants a wheel effect for Aggro and first picking wheel of fortune and then being able to pivot it...

Hellbent/Madness in Rakdos has been a staple in my cube for years. I don't go terribly deep into the madness mechanic specifically, because so many of them are awkward, but I do utilize a lot of madness adjacent effects (many you've listed here). I'm a big fan of the idea. Might be worth...

That's a good point...it definitely has a home in Golgari. I can also see it having value in my dimir dredge/tempo archetype...which has a soft emphasis on evasion, and reanimating a Skaab Ruinator or Tombstalker is pretty solid. It has a role with the hand flicker effects like Shepherd of the...

This is the main reason I haven't given it much of a consideration....If your deck wants the body for attacking, it probably doesn't have a reanimation target worth spending 6 mana to get...so then we are talking about it from a standpoint of general value and late game reach, and I feel like...

But if my beautiful lands are exiled from my graveyard however will I recur them, sac them, recur them, sac them, and recur them?

It's my nightmare. The only times I've ever had to was for a gallery show or something art related. I either say the dumbest shit I don't even believe or I "like" and "um" myself into oblivion.

I still like wildwood and ravine, but I’ve supported heavy land recursion themes in gruul and selesnya for a while now and it adds some late game reach that I like. The blue ones never really interested me or suited my needs, but it’s more a thematic issue than anything. I’m down to just...
