If I were to powermax: Gales Flame Night=Dawn=Thorn Hijack! I'm glad you brought this up, because I am really hesitating with the green one. I want to support GY shenanigans and currently run Golgari Grave-Troll. I am thinking this guy could take it's spot as a more versatile enabler...

One of the best non-official ninja's Changeling Outcast He get's through, he is cheap to recast and he can trigger your Dimir ninjas. Also wears equipment like a champ and can randomly enable zombie or human synergies you might have. Also, not a ninja, but fits the saboteur theme...

I love building a Cataclysm deck with stuff like: ReveillarkHallowed SpiritkeeperAnax, Hardened in the ForgeGreater GargadonGoblin WelderWorld ShaperBrindle ShoatTitania, Protector of ArgothBitterblossomMarionette MasterNightmare ShepherdHerald of TormentNighthowlerSaffi EriksdotterVoice of...

Maybe you could look at multiplayer or EDH cubes. They generally don't have many walkers and play more long term engines. The environments are usually slow. Not all cards or starts will be useful, but maybe it can give some ideas!

I'd like some input on Kozilek's PredatorEldrazi Skyspawner I'm trying to add a bunch of cards that fit multiple archetypes and Nest Invader is great at that. It's blinkable, it ramps, it tokens and it sacs. I was looking at other options and the Predator and Skyspawner don't seem half...

This is a great point that is easy to lose sight of. I also think this applies to your multicolored sections and removal/bounce/draw that could be played in a mono-colored section. I know this is an old debate, but the wording from TrainmasterGT makes it easily understandable. Sure Lightning...

I wanted to share my experiences with a card I tried recently that has been awesome: Bolas's Citadel Yes it's expensive, yes it mana intensive, but wow is it fun and synergistic! The reason I wanted to add this was to include black into my Izzet artifact and spell decks. In my cube, Izzet...

Could it be a token GY theme? These are essentially flashback tokens. Pretty simple but they each have their specificity making it less boring than normal tokens. Maybe Lingering Souls and Dread Summons for an abzan splash. Grizzly FateCall of the HerdMouth // FeedElspeth, Sun's...

I agree that Mire Triton is great. It doesn't look like much but it does everything every black deck wants. I would still play Supplier for redundancy. Is it crazy to want to double up on Triton? Black is pretty short on good self-mill...The only downside is that I'm afraid of too much...

I don't run customs, but seeing that thread does make me hesitate, you guys come up with some sweet cards! The Sentry is really pushing it, I agree :P However as Onder pointed out the appeal of the Dryad is the 5 color fixing for this particular package. I wouldn't play it for just that part...

I was thinking about tying artifacts to green a bit more and thought about this little package Dryad of the Ilysian GroveChromatic Lantern Golos, Tireless PilgrimCrystalline CrawlerChamber Sentry Green already plays nice with +1/+1 counters so the Sentry and Crawler makes sense, getting...

For me that is the whole point though. The broad archetypes allow for such weird color combinations to work. Maybe not as full blown decks but as packages. As you said earlier, Wildfire goes great with artifact ramp. Add in a Crucible of Worlds and maybe Windfall (since you dump your hands with...

I agree with this, you have to go deep! RG: maybe you could have ramp tokens with Earthcraft, Grand Warlord Radha, Emrakul's Hatcher, Tempt With Vengeance, Awakening Zone, Nest Invader and Kozilek's Predator. Then you could have a Mirari's Wake and a March of the Multitudes in Selesyna to...

Wait, why isn’t Fire Imp the card you are looking for? It’s podable, good in control and blinkable! The next step IMO, is identifying what cards your colors need and thinking about how they interact with other colors or what the decks you are supporting are missing (for example my aristocrats...

I like counters that are versatile (so I can do things if my opponent chooses to play around the counterspell) Supreme WillCryptic CommandThassa's InterventionMiscalculationCensor or cheap (so I can cast other cheap spells to advance my game plan and still hold up protection)...

Popular and easy to include packages I've found around here: Green GY Lands Life from the LoamRamunap ExcavatorCrucible of Worlds Titania, Protector of ArgothMultani, Yavimaya's Avatar I've found that if you support a GY theme in green at all, you already want to play the following as...

I'd like opinions/comments on the inclusion (or not) in my cube of Yawgmoth's Will This feels fair with only Dark Ritual in the cube and would be a late game card for my format. I am trying to cement spells matter or at least spell velocity in black. Right now I have 3 cards that fit the...

I did a couple of drafts and I really liked all the possibilities your cube offers. I noticed a few cards that stood out to me as either potential cuts or swaps: Miraculous Recovery: Instant speed is cool, 5 mana is not. +1/+1 counter is cool, again, 5 mana is not! Have you tested Elspeth...

@TrainmasterGT The fact that I play the card in my cube should be a testament to the fact that I do feel the card is powerful. I just chose to say 6 drop since that is where I put it on my spreadsheet, but you are right that it does often play out like a 4 drop (just like Rampaging Baloths is...

I really enjoy it for a few reasons. - Green 6 drops are actually pretty crappy. Primeval TitanHonored HydraMultani, Yavimaya's Avatar If you do not support super ramp or don't have many special lands then Primeval Titan is good but not great. The ETB on Earthshaker Giant is likely better...
