    Yeah I currently run a 2-squadron of Welder and it works fairly well. One major thing I don't like about Daretti is that he can't just keep welding turn after turn, and he's very easy to kill after one use.

    Because I might just run more welders instead of daretti

    Card/Deck Making Gruul do more than stompy, or make stompy Gruul more interesting?

    Additionally, if the goal is to push Gruul, it really could use another green haste enabler since the rest (besides Fires) are red or colorless.

    Card/Deck Making Gruul do more than stompy, or make stompy Gruul more interesting?

    Yep, you're right. Google says Mass Hysteria. You'd have to be careful with how you play it, but I imagine that if you time it right to hit them with a big impact in the midgame you could probably keep your opponent on the ropes, preventing them from making use of it. If you're playing...

    General Non Blue Control in Cube

    I might try double Smokestack. Tasigur and Reclamation Sage are home runs. I'm pushing a durdly artifact theme kinda hard, but jury is still out on Daretti. I know CML hates him...my first impression was positive, but he's so slow that I think CML is probably right.

    General Non Blue Control in Cube

    I added him to my cube but haven't seen him in action yet. I'm worried that he will be clunky.

    I agree with Eric. If you evaluate the card on any single pair of modes for the cost, it ought to look subpar, a la Bow of Nylea. I designed a card two weeks ago in the Custom Card Lab that looks somewhat similar to this.

    Probably terrible, but I feel like I should mention it: concordant crossroads

    This card feels old, in a good way.

    Working towards perfection is a reasonable goal, and that should be the goal, but artificially putting up constraints to "get there faster" seems like cheating to me.

    Or, at the very least, don't want to reveal the volume of how much improvement can be made

    This is essentially what I was trying to say, but I like the way you've described it. People would rather be proud and claim they've found the maximum within the constrained parameters than admit that a greater maximum exists. Once unconstrained, it will be more obvious to the outside observer...

    I remember being resistant to breaking singleton. The truth is that it appears random and inelegant from the outside, but that's not really a worthwhile argument point, so I found myself resisting by defaulting to other explanations that sounded better but were ultimately poor reasonings as...

    Card/Deck Making Gruul do more than stompy, or make stompy Gruul more interesting?

    So I went back to the first page, and I think we discounted a few things there too early. Rasmus and Alfonso had some excellent starting posts. I think a reasonable approach to Gruul could be your variety of: 40% Potatoes & Steak / One Two Punch Knock Out huntmaster of the fells...
