How much support do you need for this to be viable? I think even playing it with either artifact or enchantment in play would be good. What kind of decks would naturally like this? Banish into Fable

It certainly is less aggressive, but it can kill quite a few creatures without any further mana investment. It just happens. I guess as always in the end one has to test the card, as environments are different. And they aren't solely described by their power level. I guess I'll just test Arms...

I've ran the Fox and both thopters, but at some point I cut the former. It just happens that the EtB value+evasion works really nice with multiple themes in my cube. Blink, ninjutsu and equipment.dec all love them. However, as my plan is to expand my cube in size, it is just a matter of time for...

Thanks, there are a lot of sweet options. However, the black ones aren't much of interest for me, as goblins is supposed to be a mono {R} archetype. Although adding something like a marsh flitter, who doesn't need goblins but works with them, could add some depth to the cube. I also like Arms...

I want to mention a few lower powered equipments, that can be added for this theme while also being flexible, good cards for other decks. Sylvok Lifestaff Haunted Plate Mail Strata Scythe Strandwalker The lifestaff is nice for token, sacrifice or lifegain stretegies of all kinds. The plate...

Today I had to realize that Goblin Chieftain is too good for my cube. The goblin tribal is a pretty new theme to my cube, so I really had no clue how good the payoffs were (I still don't know all that much). I have 31 cards in red that are or make goblins, that is almost 65% of that color's...

Oh, I vaguely remeber that threat! Despite the little different focus and the mostly higher powered cards, your write up reads great. Doesn't hurt to have two threads to promot this theme/archetype.

That's awesome, I was just looking for a spot for it anyway :)

How constant is the prophecy?

Oh yeah, there are some cool cards. You also forgot Goldmeadow Harrier who is my single Kithkin! And I run lots of stuff from Shadowmoor/Eventide as well if that counts, but they had a color theme instead of tribal. Edit: I forgot about Galepowder Mage! And there is also Negate.

No, there isn't, I just didn't include every possible payoff. For example, Stonehewer Giant wasn't listed as well. I mostly stuck to the ones I am testing so far, leaving cards out for others to write about, whenever they might know more than me. But is the quest really a good card? It looks...

Lorwyn is an awesome world. Sadly the tribal theme makes cube inclusions from the sets more difficult.

After I tried out cycling (was too narrow) and "small creatures matter" (was too lose), I now settled for Equipment as my white centered archetype. And as it seems to be a theme wizards really likes (Eldraine, Z3ndikar, seemingly Kaldheim) I thought it would be cool to discuss it's possibilities...

I run this card for my Equipment theme, should be a good payoff for white artifacts as well. Stone Haven Pilgrim

100 times this. And it is what they almost were. The first sketches were a lot like sagas today, except they still had a loyalty so you could attack them and after III they went to exile (they were done doing you a favor). This was a far better flavor imo, since it makes them feel like they...

I wonder if you could make sagas an archetype. There is quite a bit of stuff they synergize with. Trusty Retriever Hanna, Ship's navigator Kor Skyfisher Dowsing Shaman Flickerwisp Vedalken Mastermind Gnarlwood Dryad Extricator of Sin It's mostly blink, bounce and recursion, but that's all...

Yeah, tribal becomes drafting on rails much faster than most themes. I think the only way of working against this is to make the respective creature type so damn common, that you can just add very few payoffs and have drafters just end up there. I am currently trying this with {r} Goblins (yes...

I like the look of your cube, power level seems to be at a sweet spot, low enough for synergies to matter big time. https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/5fda3c7588d2130fa2881f83 This deck is sweet. I am baffled by how similar your cube is to mine. If you don't count power maxers, it is very hard...

I would probably go down to 2 per 3c section. You could replace them with more Dimir, Rakdos, Golgari or Orzhov cards. https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/5fda32ea88d2130fa2878e56 I have drafted your cube to check how wordy it is (and to generally check it out, I'm not sure if I even have...

Update: Allright, it is december 2020 and I finally got around to update this thread! Since I had not posted here for two and a half years, I updated the opening post massively with all the theme and archetypes that construct my cube. I'm happy about everyone who gives it a read, maybe a draft...
