I stopped reading for a bit to imagine the glory of Steve + Cauldron in the 4c list. Thanks for sharing the draft!

Still included Jacked Rabbit Stormchaser’s Talent Kitsa, Otterball Elite Like Miles, I am a big fan of the Rabbit. It’s a scaling self-contained token engine that also acts as an equipment/counter/aura/combat trick payoff. I can see that being too much for a lot of cubes, but not mine! Talent...

Purification strikes me as a perfect occasional. A splashy effect you are surprised to open and maybe wouldn’t want in every draft. I know you have Wildfire, so you have some overlapping support. Also fun to decide do you keep your lands or board presence.

I’ll try to illustrate my point using the BR sacrifice archetype that you suggested. We’re probably going to include colorless sacrifice outlets, colorless sacrifice payoffs and fodder. Even if the cube hints towards Oni-Cult Anvil, if I have Teshar, Oswald, Birthing Pod, Recommission, Renegade...

I posted in another thread some white reanimation with Triskelion and friends Vesperlark Reveillark Alesha who smiles at Death Dusk // Dawn Shadowfax Add Welder and Daretti and you are set! Boros can also go grindy with Oswald, Teshar, Engineer and White’s recursion. Although I’m not sure we...

100% agree that’s why I said for a stronger payoff. But I see how people would interpret that as stronger for mid power. My bad!

The fact that Heart is capped to once per turn limits how high the ceiling can be. So if you have a bunch of zeros and free spells, Mentor is stronger. Being a creature with mana < 3 also means you can Unearth it (and all the similar effects in White). That said, Heart is still good IMO and...

I tried Imotekh in my MP cube to good effect. https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/fast-multiplayer-cube.3208/page-8#post-120008 The post after also has a Rakdos deck. Delve, Escape, Scavenging Ooze, Scrap Trawler, Myr Retriever, Welder, Engineer, Emry, Lurrus, Academy Ruins, Reanimates all...

This is a really cool card, lesson/learn or not! I’m wandering if the name refers to cutting Chart a Course for it? (Joking from my 1vs1 thread)

Thought I'd share my first Ensnaring Bridge decks. First impressions? Bridge is at its best in Temur colors that have a harder time answering a board. Blue benefits the most since it has no wraths/board control and is generally more creature light. I don't know yet if it warrants a slot, but...

I fucking love Welcome the Dead. It does so many things for a lot of themes, has a very high ceiling and I keep forgetting to try it out in my main cube >< I also like your food package in Black Cauldron's Familiar Scavenger's Talent Osteomancer Adept Hazel's Brewmaster Not 100% sure what to...

I am building a Mardu 2 power or less reanimator deck with these payoffs Triskelion Pentavus Triskelavus My reanimation effects Vesperlark Reveillark Dusk // Dawn Alesha, Who Smiles at Death Unburial Rites Some artifact payoffs to go alongside them Goblin Welder Daretti, Scrap Savant...

Not sure how to start building the cube, but I feel strongly about including these two for black artifacts Armix, Filigree Thrasher Arcbound Condor Do these fit the intended power level? Are we excluding UB sets? Are Planeswalkers fair game? What about combos (2 cards? 3 cards?)?

I had Crawler in an earlier build and it’s a good shoutout! I don’t mind the mana cost since you can get mana back instantly if you need it and it promises future fun. I love cards that let you convert a ressource into another (and why I use most colorless sac outlets except Spawning Pit), they...

I have! I love that it's an aggro card that could also see play in a combo deck as a way to make sure you are uninterrupted during your turn against interaction heavy opponents. I was mentioning Ranger-Captain of Eos in an above post, this can be similar (only protective though, not...

This seems like fun. A dumb thing I've been trying to set up in lower powered cubes is using the high CMC of affinity/improvise artifacts for various payoffs Frogmite Myr Enforcer Birthing Pod Eldritch Evolution Prime Speaker Vannifar Oswald Fiddlebender Soldevi Adnate Illuminor Szeras...

Fetches was my idea since I run two sets of them

Good stuff, thanks! You are 100% right about the Flagstones. I am hesitant to cut it because I tend to end up with draft pools where I could build a deck with 30 nonland cards so having utility lands feels like adding more cards to the deck even though they aren't always super impactful. A big...

Always forget about Sorcerous Spyglass I like it as a soft answer to PW before they can get value or specific enchantments. You can even use it as mana denial, might need to give it a second look. I am always attracted to these vampire cards/payoffs also, but then scrap the whole tribal idea...

I've been experimenting building my cube layout for fun and one area that kind of tripped me up was this circle: What I am trying to convey here are decks/archetypes that use the glue cards in the center to make them tick. 1. The KCI deck is a known quantity. You loop artifacts and generate...
