Really like the idea because I share your fondness for the Eldrazis. I started working on something similar (Eldrazis vs Phyrexians vs Legends) and was thinking that maybe the legendary matters archetype could be a theme for your cube. It would be a kind of face off between the Legends and the...

I agree to some degree. In the perfect land deck, you don’t want the Stars. However, perfect is very rare and often you are a lands deck with some non-optimal picks or cards that will make use of them. Serra Paragon and Traverse the Ulvenwald could tip you into running the Stars for example...

Good question, that I took for granted. Looking at it, I do think the support is there Cantrips Mishra’s Bauble x2 Chromatic Star x3 Mana Mox Opal Expedition Map Wayfarer's Bauble Win condition Retrofitter Foundry Equipment Skullclamp Bloodforged Battle-Axe Shadowspear The big one I am...

Good call on the enchantment! Reminds me of The Restoration of Eiganjo that is a good fit too. Yeah, I'm good on the artifact stuff (targets and producers). I also have a bunch of the good lands, minus Library of Alexandria. That one seems a bit too durdly, for too little effort.

Speaking of ridiculous lands, what are people's thoughts on running 2 of these to boost Selesnya? Urza's Saga I'd like to boost Selesnya a bit more and I figure a great way to do it is with this land. Both Green and White are great at recurring lands Life from the LoamRamunap ExcavatorSerra...

I'm with you guys with the Investigator, wasn't really looking at cutting him, he is a great glue card that scales. The biggest difference on opinions is about Sicarian Infiltrator. I saw it as a pretty nice card and you both are down on it. What I like: - Scales. Doesn't matter if you are...

I am looking for a bit more diversity in my card draw effects by adding Faerie Mastermind which should be fun in a MP format. Please cut 2: Aether Channeler Champion of Wits Sicarian Infiltrator Ethereal Investigator Mulldrifter I have some thoughts on all of these, but would rather read...

Throwing more suggestions at you, feel free to let me know if they are too far off, I can stop :P dbs wrote a great post about "artifactified" archetypes. I think it could work for your Black and Green sections if you are adding all the artifact trinkets you mentioned. Grim Flayer Traverse the...

The Chrome Shark leads you to this Frantic Search

Chrome Host Seedshark Could this replace Sai as a more versatile token maker? Triggers off of anything and the incubator tokens are great for control decks since you can hold up interaction and transform or wait after your wrath. Also fun with big delve spells like Dig. You lose out on the...

I believe you. However, I just don't think they accomplish much in my current iteration of cube. There are already a lot of cards that I am not including in the cube, I don't feel the need to introduce a new card type to get more cool build arounds or glue cards. So it's not just complexity...

I did miss it thank you! I'm never really sure about these cantrips that can miss. Sure, most Green decks are permanent based, but the floor of mill 2 and gain 2 life scares me. I think I would rather include the Unbridled Growth you mentioned because of the reliability. In the same vein, I...

MoM thoughts (I'll do MoM commander a bit later). I haven't been super active with my cube this year, but there are some cool cards from the latest set that I wanted to mention in this thread so I don't forget them down the line. I am not currently interested in adding Battles. Not only do I...

I didn’t want to mention the Saga as it is so unique and probably doesn’t fit into earlier Magic play patterns. That said, it’s fantastic especially if you add the Baubles and such. Green then becomes an artifact color if you have Saga and Nettlecyst alongside its artifact producers and Esika’s...

You are probably right, but that's what I like about the theme. The payoffs just work by themselves via attacking. Limits how narrow it can be.

My thinking was that to entice players to go for it, a couple of power outliers would be a good way to go.

If this list is still somewhat updated, then I think you have a good base to slip in artifact payoffs that care about the number of artifacts on the battlefield. This goes back to what Safra was saying about affinity being a good option. That way, you don't really need to play more artifacts per...

Ooh, I haven’t checked out the thread, I’ll take a look. I didn’t know about the Curse, it could be a good fit. I was exploring the combo aspect with the Engine and Alarm. They are certainly great build arounds, but maybe a bit too easy to abuse at lower power level. There was also Grand...

Wildfire Awakener This new card from MoM, might be the critical piece to unlocking a new archetype, or at least taking an existing one to a new level. It isn't a high powered archetype, but should fit into a lot of cubes in this forum. Tl;dr - A Boros archetype that isn't equipment matters -...

The Blackstaff of Waterdeep Moonsnare Prototype I don’t have a good handle on how to tackle your nostalgia problem, but if you do go with small creatures, artifact trinkets and artifact lands, then these two cards (that I didn’t see mentioned) could be decent. These have the advantage of being...
