Garland is one I have my eyes on. DRC’s ability is really strong at either filtering your draws or filling the GY. I wouldn’t mind another efficiently costed body with the ability! Not putting any weight on the recursion, because it’s 7 mana, but it’s bound to happen from time to time.

I don’t mind having an obvious archetype (like blink) as it’s an easy thing to latch onto if you are a beginner or want to draft easy mode. This is especially true if you have some other complicated decks that are draftable. That said, not a huge fan of Soulherder because of how fragile it is. I...

Cool inspiration for the old bordered archetypes thread. I love Phyrexian Dreadnaught decks. Stifle, Fling, Greater Good and more!

I've made a bunch of changes to the cube, mostly cycling cards from the maybeboard in and out to match my design goals. Prison/Stax Rishadan Port Ethersworn Canonist Spider-Woman I've come to terms with the fact that I love prison decks and want them to be part of the cube. I started playing...

Tarfire? :p I like Fanatic and Bannaret best from your choices. Spikeshot Elder I like this one for your power level. Fragile, but with a high ceiling if you can build around it. Prowess and Goblins can probably pump it and so can equipment.

Phyrexian dragon engine?

Rydia, summoner of mists She hits a few notes here and has been good for me at just rummaging through the deck. Orcish Lumberjack A 5 drop on turn 2 is serious power! Raging Ravine An oldie that gets the job done and adds threat density to your decks

Do you go out of your way to support Warp with extra blink effects and haste enablers? My first thought is that most cubes already have plenty of synergy without the need to specifically add Warp “support”.

Chandra, Acolyte of Flame She is a fun walker! Small tokens to buff or sacrifice and a pseudo Snapcaster Mage ability ties a lot of themes in Red.

I don’t like Control Magic effects and that extends to Dack. Removing an artifact is one thing, stealing it is such a huge tempo swing. If you have an artifact cheat deck, it gets even worse! That said, the looting ability is amazing and maybe I’m too conservative here.

I am completely off, my bad. Looks like I tried to will it into existence…

It’s the power rather than mana value. So you could Thundertrap Trainer, Fanatic of Rhonas or Winged Splicer on the first trigger and it would still be pretty good. Not high power, but I can see it leading to a lot of fun.

I like a lot of the card designs in this set and many of the cards would fit into multiple cubes. However, I don't necessarily want to bring this IP into my cube as the immersion break is pretty jarring. That said, there is one card I am eyeing despite it being blatantly Spider related...

I’m building what I call Riptide Terrarium where the mana base is an integral part of the synergy. 100 lands in a 540 cube. Bouncelands: landfall, ramp, bounce, MDFCs, Hideaway lands, … Fetches/landscapes: landfall, sacrifice, Delve/Escape, revolt, … Horizon lands: sacrifice, draw 2 Surveil...

I currently run Asmo, but this seems very comparable. No food shenanigans, but at least you can cast it as a floor and it serves as a discard outlet too. This and Spider Woman are going to be tempting.

This is one of the rare Spiderman cards that caught my attention. It's a protection spell, but can also be a tricky buff spell. Maybe you Earthquake for the win? Or go bigger. Walking Ballista probably does something neat too!

These two are so good because you naturally discard them to Ascendancy, great suggestions. That's fair and the card looks like a really cool build around. The selection for Jeskai Inspire cards is thin though... Green is so good alongside Ascendancy. If you can manage to splash the enchantment...

Jeskai Ascendancy Deep Dive This is a popular card on the forum as a sweet build around with constructed pedigree. It has the hallmarks of a cube all star by virtue of its different hooks and possible homes, but that also makes it a complicated and intimidating card! There have been a ton of...

Sold! That’s a great suggestion and a valuable reminder that you should re-examine cuts when modifying your cube. I am also looking at Ragost, Deft Gastronaut Dismissed it during spoiler season based on vibes, but it amounts to sac any artifact, bolt face. It can go pretty hard with actual...

A few more drafts convinced me that Ensnaring Bridge is the real deal. What makes it enticing is that it imposes unique deckbuilding constraints. Similar to Oath of Druids where you have to warp your deck around it, Bridge demands that either you remove it before winning with creatures or that...
