I'm narrowing down the broad archetypes I want to support. I have these in mind (capital letter means heavy support, lower case means slight support). Lands Gwrub Spells URWBg Artifacts RUwb ETB WUg Sacrifice BRwg GY GBURw The color distribution isn't perfect, but I don't really care...

Mostly the mana value of the card changes. However, for my less experienced drafters, I'd much rather have the split card than the original. I know that they will skip Damn even if they are in a White control deck as it just doesn't look like a playable White card.

I drafted a fun Boros deck that prompted me to reevaluate a slot I hadn't considered touching. Ones 1 Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer 1 Chromatic Star 3 Faithless Looting 1 Path to Exile 1 Land Tax Twos 1 Soulfire Grand Master 1 Perilous Myr 1 Blind Obedience Threes 1 Feldon of the Third Path 1...

I like the Doom engine swap and Golos makes sense with your Wildfire plan. I'm not a fan of the Duplicant cut however. You mentioned your UG decks need help with removal, well Duplicant counts! If you cannot find Red creatures for your Wildfire decks, maybe artifact mana is the way to go there...

Gonti, Lord of Luxury Vile Entomber 4 mana value deathtoucher. Help!

That's a really good question in regards to RG. The "storm" turn cards are Thousand-Year Storm and Professor Onyx. This means that I am looking at Temur or Jund storm rather than straight RG. An example I drafted recently. Ones 1 Greater Gargadon 1 Preordain 1 Pongify Twos 1 Thassa's Oracle...

I've liked Skarrgan Hellkite You have some decisions when casting it which are interesting and it is a nice mana sink late game. It's playable in all sorts of Red decks. I've also played Cavalier of Flame which ticks a lot of boxes (discard, lands, tokens). It was powerful, but the mana cost...

@dbs That deck is amazing! Fastbond seems like the key piece to give it all the engines the explosiveness they need to go off hard. Win Cons You know, now that I am actively looking at more storm type decks for my cube, Witherbloom Apprentice makes sense again as does Quandrix Apprentice. What...

I think the blue control spells are just so inefficient. There could be an argument for Lullmage's Domination since your format is pretty GY oriented. I'm not a fan of the {u}{u}{u} casting cost, but late game it should be manageable. The only other option I have in mind is Tempted by the Oriq...

Thanks for the feedback. Here are a few changes I am considering Aether Spellbomb -> Hard Evidence Bouncing a card isn't great in MP, but Spellbomb was there more as an artifact that could cycle. Hard Evidence gives me the same kind of vibe, but actually adds to my board AND draws a card...

I second sigh's suggestions of Brazen Borrower and Commit // Memory. Solid interactive spells that offer lots of decisions. Careful with Urza's Saga though, the casting cost literally has to be {1} or {0}. So Esper Sentinel wouldn't work. I've like Yawgmoth's Will in your cube before and it's...

I’m in the Vile Entomber camp myself. It’s essentially a 2 for 1 as the body will trade for a ground creature and the card you are getting in the GY should do something ( Vizier of Many Faces to keep the chain going, Honored Hydra for a fatty, Stinkweed Imp for an enabler,...). Creatures are...

Grim Monolith I've been thinking about this card a bunch and would like some outside opinion. I see this as an artifact Dark Ritual. The reason I want to include it is to help getting some strategies active earlier. Cards like Thousand-Year Storm, God-Pharaoh's Gift, Shark Typhoon, Memory Jar...

I like the 2 White cards! Shepherd of the Flock I've really enjoyed this card in the Arena cube and in some other contexts. I think it would be a good fit for your cube (more so than Kor Skyfisher) It protects your guys from removal, resets a saga, can enable ETBs, is a spell, is a human and...

Sadly, I haven't actually drafted with it in my cube, but I have drafted it in a bunch of decks where it looks strong. I've also played with/against it in Strixhaven limited where it was really strong and a standard deck where it shined too. The winning recipe if you want it to shine is twofold...

Double posting, but I think I have a satisfying solution to my problem. First of, I've been looking for a replacement for Teferi's Protection. It's just too easy to blank anything and everything for a mere 3 mana. I do like it as protection for the aggro player going all in, but in the cube...

Good points, thanks for posting. I definitely agree with the value of having GY hate, making the Command shoot up in value. Here are my current token payoffs in Green Garruk Wildspeaker Earthshaker Giant Rhys the Redeemed Evolutionary Leap Esika's Chariot Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse Listing...

With MH2 coming out, I want to try and revamp my Green section a little. There are a bunch of cool cards that fit well with the themes I am supporting, as well as having the potential for big splashy plays. In -> Out Tireless Provisioner -> Grapple with the Past Timeless Witness -> Honored...

Like @sigh mentions, the Labman style wins are the most interesting to me in regards to extra turns. I do think there could be potential build around with something like The Mirari Conjecture, but how fun is it really to take 3+ extra turns. I also dislike the play patterns of Eternal Witness...

I also wanted to second @blacksmithy 's suggestion of Omnath, Locus of Creation. While not technically a 5C card, I've found that it secretly kind of is. If you are able to get the fetches and ramp spells to trigger him, odds are, you can squeeze another color in there. It makes Omnath a...
