What stood out drafting your cube was the 3 CC mana rocks (especially when seen next to green 1CC mana elves) and Sundering Shaman with the GGRR mana cost. The latter seems hard to cast on curve for a mediocre effect and the former seem slow compared to the speed of your cube. The mono blue deck...

After revisiting the minimalist artifact theme thread, I wanted to see if I could pull this off for the life gain deck. I am looking for cards that will fit in multiple archetypes and not stand out as overly narrow in the draft. I play at a high power level and wanted outside opinion on all of...

I agree they are never super high picks, but they can really tie a deck together and I'm not just talking about the artifact deck. Here is a quick list of where I would like to play them. Prowess Monastery MentorSeeker of the WayNiblis of FrostSaheeli, Sublime ArtificerMonastery...

The first thing I did, was to dump as many artifacts/artifact creating cards as possible into my cube without them being narrow. For example, Thirst for Knowledge is a amazing in a deck filled with artifacts. However, it is also great in a deck with few of them too. Galvanic Blast is the same...

I'm liking most of these changes except for the Spear of Heliod one. You just added Heroic as a keyword, so I think you should keep your artifact count up, even if less elegant. It's these kinds of little things that add up and create a deeper format!

Managorger Hydra Can get huge pretty quickly, has trample and ties into counters or spells. Rishkar, Peema Renegade Buffs two guys, counters synergy and ramp. I like the fact he plays well in aggro and midrange. The First Iroan Games This thing is pretty aggro as well. Attack for 4 on...

I don't have much experience with the cards mentioned above (except that Earthshaker Khenra and Pia Nalaar are great). I was wondering about a multiplayer special Disrupt Decorum I know this isn't a multiplayer forum, but thought I try my luck anyways. The card seems great at breaking board...

Thanks for the draft! The deck looks gas. You have draw, removal and powerful cards. I can see Scuttling Doom Engine ending many games :P I really should remove my cube from my signature as my playgroup wanted more good stuff and less synergy which is a step away from the Riptide philosophy...

I like my burn spells to be cheap and ideally have some late game value. I also greatly favor instants since it leads to more decisions which I try to promote. 1CC Galvanic BlastBurst LightningFireboltLightning Bolt Lightning Bolt doesn't fit my criteria, but gets there on sheer power and...

I did a draft of your cube and drafted a cool Simic deck. What I noticed is that you have almost zero removal in that color pair. You could chose from among some fight cards: Voracious Hydra is boss, Wicked Wolf is good too. In blue you have some bounce, but I'd love to see cards like Psionic...

I don't know how to post decklists from CubeCobra, but here is one I drafted that I felt was pretty sweet: UG artifacts. I like trying things your cube isn't supposed to do (green isn't an artifact color), and I think it's a good deck (though Mystic Snake + Crystal Shard can be miserable)...

What worked for me was making these two things overlap: make my artifacts be aristocrat cards. That way you have 2 options: 1. Have a "regular" aristocrat deck that doesn't have any artifact synergies 2. Have an artifact aristocrat deck. I think it was dbs that coined the term "artifactify an...

Thank you for the draft and the details on how you ended up with the deck. This looks like a real solid deck for my environment. You have 2 of the most powerful cards in my cube: Urza and Oko (which are on a watchlist), as well as draw, removal and counters. Very nicely done!

Cataclysm You didn't mention why you wanted to cut Ravages, but this is a strong aggro build around if you don't mind blowing up lands. History of Benalia Token synergy and semi wrath-proof, this a good card! Gideon Blackblade You already have a bunch of planeswalkers, but this guy...

To be fair, Kenrith can be a 5 color guy, but he would also be solid in any guild combination playing white, as a mana sink. Golos, Tireless Pilgrim indicates 5 color reward more than the above cards I feel. Plus, being an artifact and a creature makes him pretty susceptible to removal.

Two cards you didn't mention that can save your creatures from removal and are "repeatable"are EphemerateParallax Wave Ephemerate has prowess synergy, is easy to hold up, but it is pretty strong. I do however think that 1 mana is where you want to be to save your creatures as holding up more...

I'll bite since no suggestions were offered yet. Censor vs Force Spike? You have Drake Haven in your list, so I think the upside of cycling outweighs the extra mana on Censor. No Path to Exile? You seem to be running most of the other powerful removal spells, is there a reason you decided...

I love the idea of having extra utility on the ramp cards, but a 3CC card to ramp for 1 isn't exciting (at least in my format). Especially since you don't get a board presence and that is killer at 3 mana. @ravnic Slaughter-Priest of Mogis vs Blazing Hellhound I would try out the...

I'm liking this green ramp card It ticks all the right boxes for me: 2 mana Possible synergies (enchantment/untap) Late game mana sink I've found that cards like Wild Growth to be too strong (I am not a cool kid) as they cannot be interacted with easily and provide such a huge tempo...

What I like most about Angel of Serenity is the amount of play it has. Do you believe they have an answer for it? If so then is it a wrath (where you might want to save some creatures on the battlefield) or is it spot removal (in which case you want to keep your board presence and maybe get...
