This has been very successful in my list. I dig it a lot.

Anyone find Linvala, the Preserver too strong? I cut her from my list before seeing her in action. I've been opting for: Angel of Serenity Because Sneak Attack can never have enough support in my cube.

Deed is great, and can be very one-sided with the high cmc delve creatures like gurmag angler and all of the recursive spuds golgari has access to.

Ron Spencer dishing out the nostalgia.

Looter il-Kor is an easy pick for me. It's pretty perfect card imo. It's a nice dependable beater unlike infiltrator making it clutch for tempo decks, alongside equipment and in Simic with buffs like Druid's Familiar, Elephant Guide, etc. I'd run Wharf over the Jeskai Elder in your list...

Golgari is definitely one of the deepest guilds across all power bands. Love the Glissa tech. I gotta remember to test her out.

Gitrog is on my watchlist for being too good. As is: Deathrite Shaman this guy however... Grim Flayer Is my bro. I really dig this card. It's my crossover card bringing a little bit of Rakdos Hellbent and Gruul Berserkers to Golgari Aggro.

It's not a no-brainer. Some things are important for it to make a lot of sense in your cube: 1) Prevalence of graveyard synergy and value. Obviously this is the main reason you run it. 2) Restricted creature stats to cmc. If your cube isn't running a lot of cheap 3 toughness bros at 2-3cmc...

grim lavamancer The only red one drop that matters. Also getting mileage out of: soul-scar mage When I had a peasant cube this guy was surprisingly good: stonewright

I really like burning the last X cards for the highest quality decks, and is a little less cumbersome in practice. Alternating random burns between picks will be more challenging to draft which is also cool in its own right.

Sneak is pretty fragile tbh. If you aren't maximizing it with Eldrazi, tutors, and Wheel effects, it's actually a lot of fun and challenging deck to build. Of course Griselbrand is the biggest red flag in you cube with Sneak Attack.

Overseer of the Damned or Noxious Gearhulk You already run Grizz, so I'm not sure how much you need Razaketh. Gearhulk has the obvious synergy with Welder and is great in control. Have you ever tested Sneak Attack in your cube?

Now that's a card I haven't thought about in 20 years.

Well, slanting your entire guild section to one strategy is lame, and I don't think many people actually do that. However, signaling an archetype with a guild card has a lot of value, especially for drafters that aren't familiar with your cube. It signals both a strategy and a color pairing for...

I greatly prefer Daze. The card is a lot of fun. It's even better if you have ways of utilizing the land in hand so it can have a little late game value whether it be a pack guardian or emeria angel.

Like Golgari Grave-Troll essentially being a golgari card? I typically consider cards like that by the archetype they define than specifically for a color pair.....but it's really six of one and half a dozen of the other. That's just how I mentally organize cards like that, and try to give each...

In an effort to give all colors an equal amount of resources, I treat Hybrid cards with C or CC mana costs as .5 of each color, and CCC as a guild card. So Dryad Militant and Kitchen Finks = 1 White Card and 1 Green Card. While Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers = 1 Selesnya card. Which leads me to do all...

I prefer Branchwalker because my cube has a heavy graveyard component, and giving an opponent an opportunity to profit off the Explorer really kills it for me. I also prefer the potential for a bigger body or card advantage as well. Miscalculation is my favorite counterspell in cube. It's...

My favorite: Spell Queller Other than that, I'm lukewarm on most other azorius cards.

I have too small of a sample size to source from to be sure, but I agree that the mana does add up quickly.
