Stone Haven Pilgrim Starnheim Courser Trusty Retriever Enlightened Tutor These are my non-equipment-specific artifact payoffs in mono white. I'm very happy with all of them. Well, of courser I haven't tested the pegasus yet, but the other three are awesome.

I wish they would start the spoiler season for the timeshifted sheet now and just reveal one card every day. Makes me happy just looking at it.

I wouldn't call the Blade borderline at lower power. It's a bear with a long list of upsides and syngeries.

He's fine, but a little bit narrow as he doesn't really generate value for other decks that easily. I cut him for the moment. That card is great. Dealing 6 is just a nice "saboteur trigger" and you really need no support for it beyond "black can do aggro you know", but of course he gets...

I'm not saying it should be stronger, but I'm a bit sad that you can't sac it before it attacked and connected. Doesn't help you sticking your hasty curve topper or an anthem effect pre combat :p I think I'll go with the Thopter and Flayer Husk for the Equipment theme

I am going to test at least Rune of Sustenance and Rune of Mortality, as I think lifelink and deathtouch are really nice abilities to grant and I have an equipment theme. the green one looks really strong too, but green hasn't much to do with equipment in my cube. The blue one just compares...

Now let's talk about colorless 1-drops. They are awesome because they go into aggro decks of all colors, maybe even some other decks as well. I currently have these three: Gingerbrute Vault Skirge Signal Pest A colorless Tin Street Dodger, a colorless Healer's Hawk and a colorless Oriflame...

Well, I would count Dauntless Dourbark. I a mono green deck he is at least a 5/5 for 4 and growing for sure. He probably like being alongside a few treefolk, and the more of these you run, the less forests you need.

How is Scion of Oona decent on it's own? It is a 3 mana 1/1 flier with flash, that's ... bad. That card is like the opposite of what this thread is about :P

I have a lot of nostalgia for this card. And still seems strong if you're not fighting aggro. Anyone ever played the card? Archivist

Which of these two cmc 4 beaters do you like more? One has synergy with madness mostly, the other with landfall. Both seem to be just really good aggro curve toppers Avaricious Dragon Embodiment of Fury

While I don't really like the classic, parasitic tribal deck in cube, I really enjoy cards like Imperious Perfect, Graveborn Muse or Anowon, the Ruin Sage, as these cards might appeal to decks with very few or even zero cards of that tribe - and still can change the way one drafts. So I thought...

For the perfect you need just itself. For the others you need dozens probably.

He's a nice 2-drop for both aggressive and midrange decks. But I cut him for being too generic. Green just has many cool 2-drops that actually synergize with some more strategies. (I guess he can survive wildfire at least or work in a Doran deck?)

I convinced myself to test the dragon. But I am still outside the box thinking about unconventinal cards. See, I don't have a soldier theme. And I don't have a +1/+1 counter theme. I do have, however, quite a lot soldiers and a bunch of cards that put counters on creatures. Cenn's Tactician...

Rhox has been in my cube forever. And I am too scared of what could happen if I ever considered cutting him ...

There are these sweet lower powered payoffs I haven't seen mentioned here: Werebear Call of the Herd Roar of the Wurm Also: Wonder Anger Brawn Genesis

I totally wrecked many limited opponents on arena with fearless fledgling. That card is nuts, considering Vinelasher Kudzu was a first pickable rare in RAV and is still a great 2-drop in my cube. Similarly I wasn't surprised by this cards success: Territorial Scythecat Like the Kudzu it...

I have a minimalist artifact theme, meaning there are a few payoffs here and there. Hoarding Dragon Thopter Spy Network Cranial Plating These slot into decks easily, partly because they are good cards, partly because there are lots of artifacts anyway, because I try to make mono color a...

Yeah, it is not obvious at all, but maybe this way I also create a way for drafters to really feel clever? :D I'm not sure, I think the two crucial questions are: Will people drafting red put this into their decks? And will they be happy with the performance of robo dragon? If the answer is...
