restoration angel angel of serenity?

I like how life gain often also is an identity WotC likes to push onto white in retail sets but it never really feels that inciting, cubing seems to open up an opportunity for life gain to actually feel fun. I don't feel any particular way towards felidar sovereign, I can see how it sort of...

path of bravery Your gatherer-foo feeling rusty? :) I like it as an anthem version that pushes you into the archetype but still rewards swarmy decks. This and lingering souls leads to some pretty huge life swings. Add in a vault of the archangel and suddenly; this pod racing. The pure lifelink...

Its a cool sacrifice outlet, if not anything else. trash for treasure does anyone have any experience with this card as a sort of tinker or goblin welder variant?

Really, squadroning if done I feel should be done on cards that are close to unplayable as a singleton, ie the post-lands or the tron lands

I think the soul sisters come across as sort of unexciting, they obviously reward you for going into the life gain theme or playing lots of creatures or tokens, but it's not like scavenging ooze or kitchen finks that are inheritly powerful and playable outside its archetype. nearheath pilgrim...

I think its a matter of philosophy. I'd run it as a 2x maybe in the same way you'd run young pyromancer as a 2x if that is what you're out for, as a sort of "build around me" base.

I'm going to have to say that a lot of those cards either are fine on their own or benefit more from breaking singleton rather than being squadron hawks. I think singletonbreaking is good for cards that are unique but also benefitial or enabling for several archetypes (gravecrawler being a good...

I think paragon looks nice, if you make sure that there is enough other warriors for it not to be just a +1/+1 matters bear. Aggressive creatures in other colors (especially red and black?) tends to be warriors so maybe nothing to difficult. Stingmoggie also has the bonus of versitality, but...

It rebuilds your board after a sweeper or let's you feel trixy with podding a voice into caller and get at least 3 bodies

I wonder how powerful an effect it is. It does enable a cheeky combo with laboratory maniac and balustrade spy though

I'm mostly here doing research in prep for a first cube but I read an article (Jason's I think) about midrange reanimator being a healthy alternative to t2 grislebrand. If we're moving away from boring uninteractive fatties in Tinker wouldn't they sort of slot into the fair value reanimator...

How stupid is the battle sphere as a target? Doesn't seem to strong but I can't evaluate

Hm, yes, I would say so, but its narrower in that its only creatures that have died this turn and not just "put into your graveyard" so it requires something to die before its turned and can end up being a dead card either during play or during the draft? It probably depends on how far you want...

caller of the claw this card seems like something that plays into a number of themes like dredging and sacrifice and is really tricky thanks to the flash, how much would you have to enable this card to be able to slot it in?

I don't mind employing a theme that lets me justify including some cloudfin raptors. Doesn't the sliths almost all cost CC though?

In regards to a green +1/+1 counters matter package, I think this looks nice as a start. (I'm sketching for a low powered cube but maybe that is given that we're running with this entire concept?) experiment one experiment one experiment one aquastrand spider renegade krasis cytoplast root-kin...

I'll try show up!

That is a fair and valid argument, I think that even though +1/+1 are inherently very ingrained into interactions in capacity of making creatures larger, it's easy to have +1/+1 counters matter turn somewhat parasitic. Is it maybe preferable to have the +1/+1 theme be somewhat subtle so that...
