    In general Nonstarter means counter-productive, time-wasting, etc. etc. Basically, we aren't actually doing anything with the convo, if you want something: https://scryfall.com/feedback Like, MCI is gone, and maybe that's tough cookies, but there's a convenient way to strive towards...

    something lore-wise just feels... wrong... about any wurm on Ravnica being bigger than the Worldspine Wurm :/

    Syntax searching seems great for people really into computers.... I legit thought "regular expressions" meant, like, normal human speak or something? Lol nope I need someone to bust out the AI, so I can just write regular words at it. It's 2018, is that too much to ask???

    General Modular cube?

    Gatherer shows all the sets in one ungodly pile of set symbols :) FWIW, I actually like Gatherer's Advanced Search UI better than Scryfalls. Very uniform and procedural, not a hodgepodge of different interfaces and checkboxes and lists... [shudder]

    Nexus of Fate is honestly tempting as a control/"Baron" finisher of sorts. Too bad it's bonkers expensive thanks to standard + only printed as promo

    General Single Card Archetypes

    Your definition of "build-around" is exactly how Rowan wants to be defining "single-card archetype", so it really just is coming down to how we individually want to assign meaning to certain words (semantics), and I really do just have to agree with Aston at this point: we are all basically on...

    General Single Card Archetypes

    gisa and geralf Have been having a lot of fun with this one. (this is mostly just nit-picking, but a true "single-card archetype" is exceedingly rare, even as described above. I made some specific selections to improve Goggles in the cube, for instance, even though it could have simply been...

    Lief's Cube

    I would consider almost zero of those quintessential, and many not overly evocative of cube either. Even something like Lightning Bolt, one of the most recognizable cards in MTG, is not an auto-include. Many formats here don't run it.

    Lief's Cube

    There's nothing about Valduk or Madcap Skills that screams "quintessential" to me, so yes I would cut those if your red isn't aggressive. Just like Onder noted, though, you do say two of your Red color combinations list "agro" in your OP. So overall I'd either focus more on that, or try to...

    first one that comes to mind: Pyromancer's Goggles This card can single-handedly open up a very unique version of "UR Spells" http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/844595']www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/844595[/URL][/url]"] Zeroes 1 Chrome Mox Ones 1 Aether Spellbomb 1 Careful Study 1 Goblin Welder 1...

    Card/Deck Blue-Based Artifact Decks

    UR Artifacts is very fun, and (for me) looks more like: daretti, scrap savant goblin welder Mishra's bauble chromatic star myr battlesphere scuttling doom engine With blue more playing the role of setup and protection (as well as pieces like Trinket Mage): careful consideration mana leak...

    General Do finishers have to be so boring?

    Interesting thread to post this to. In general, I would say that no, finishers don't have to be boring. Martial Coup is very strong. I'm a little hesitant to include cards that so cleanly do multiple things a control deck wants in one go, especially a many-for-one that also populates the board...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Yeah, I think you really hit the nail on the head Onder when you casually called it a cog. It's not what I'd personally call "payoff" for the artifact deck. I think of something more like the antiquities war Which is a powerful and evocative pair of effects that can really frontline the...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    yeah. I think in general it's a good idea to avoid cards that can wildly swing in power/efficiency/etc. for seemingly little or no reason from Villain's point of view. Example: Miracles Taking a quick look at your list, I don't really see much support for a {W}x control deck anyways, so I...
