How is this card actually within a lower powered environment? I do run 12 fecthes, 15 cycle lands and a few creature-lands and sac-for-effects-lands. Is it bananas? Better than Life from the Loam? Crucible of Worlds

Ninja of the Deep Hours I love this guy

Of coure, I should be careful with my vocabular. When I say "Blink" I usually refer to the archetype that retriggers EtB abilities, whil the majority of these effects in my cube are actually bounce like the Shepherd, Kor Skyfisher, Erratic Portal or the Ninjas.

Wand of Vertebrae Did anyone ever actually try this? I know Codex Shredder exists and I run it already, but I wonder if at 680 cards my cube might be riptidian enough to play this as well.

Yeah, I like Clockwork Servant a lot. It's at it's best in mono/heavy {W} or {U} because there you got both blink an artifact synergies.

When I am splashing white in a mostly mono red deck, I would still want as much fixing as in a straight boros deck. Maybe even more, because I want as few lands that don't produce {r} as possible, yet I need a certain amount of {w} sources still to cast something like the mentor on curve. Sure...

I understand this thread as "cards you would never cut/exclude for mechanical reasons, even outside a specific cube", so I won't come up with my nostalgia and altered art stuff for once. Gravedigger I love this card, it is so elegant, good in every deck with creatures. It held it's worth in...

I feel you. If I were crazy rich, I would still live in a normal house, but I would have an extra room to store all the cube's I could buy then :D

But as soon as they are picking duals and splash for a couple cards, they are affecting the draft more like a {R/W}-drafter than a {R}-drafter, because they are taking the fixing and they keep an eye out for potentially interesting cards in white. As a draft go, they might even expand their...

That certainly is a problem. You're definitely right here. Well, I think control decks don't want to play City or a horizon land unless they are really starving for fixing. There are a few more, like Gemstone Mine or of course Mana Confluence. Maybe running those and a few horizon lands helps...

True, but the same could be said about control not being as interested in City of Brass, Horizon Canopy or even Sulfurous Springs. The thing is, duals are added during drafting, so craft your deck accordings to the fixing you get. If I pick up a Boros Signet in pack 1 I surely won't build a low...

Well, reading my own post again, I think 50 cycles of duals would actually be a bit too much :P That would add up to 500 of 360 cards be mana fixing!

I've written a very long post while being on the road only to see now some aspects have at least partially be covered, but I'll post it anyway. Still think some points might help our discussion: Cube is a really complex topic where so many factors have to be considered. That makes it dificult...

I'd really love to add cycling lands to the blb, but I think that would break Drake Haven in my specific environment. Maybe even Glint-Horn Buccaneer.

I'd make the Den produce {B}{G}, even in your cube. Feels weird otherwise. But I like those alot.

Yup, you would need to be at a really low power level. Like, if Inquisitor's Ox is your payoff those might be a good fit as enablers.

Those are some sweet suggestions, thanks guys! Don't worry @Velrun this is not for my (main) cube, rather for another idea I might one day actually build :D

Okay guys, during WAR limited I had this incredibly fun deck where I combined my four or even five Charity Extractors with Huatli, the Sun's Heart. I love it when two mediocre cards combine to something really good. So, what I am looking for today is sweet limited combos, where two (retail...

I think you forgot someone! Threnody Singer This was my favorite version of this effect so far. The rock solid body (1/3 flying flash for 2 isn't horrible on it's own) in conjunction with the possibility to decrease a creatures power further than any of the other, make for a great card. I've...

I'm always looking for combat tricks that aren't dead cards against control or when you don't have a board presence. And this guy has really impressed me in MID limited. Nebelgast Intruder Not sure what to cut, but that card is much sweeter than I originally thought.
