Yeah, this might have a home in my cube. A reasonably aggressive artifact body with blink upside. I don't support +1/+1 counters as a subtheme yet, but we are getting close to a density of support that it will soon allow it to be as seamless of an include as the artifact subtheme at higher power...

Don't mind me, just shuffling things around again... I threw Young Pyromancer, Murktide Regent, and Sedgemoor Witch into the cube without adjusting enough infrastructure for them to thrive. With that and the freshly spoiled Third Path Iconoclast in mind, I'm trying to carve out some extra...

It's a slightly wacky design. I've been thinking on this very question, and the best I could come up with was a big one turn play with Fastbond and either a fetchland or a full graveyard. More than likely it will get back a manland or some other utility land. It'd be fun to mill through your...

Dreams of Steel and Oil Sorcery Target opponent reveals their hand. You choose an artifact or creature card from it, then an artifact or creature card from their graveyard. Exile both chosen cards. ===== This is pretty interesting. Creature+Artifact hits about 57% of my cube, and exiling is...

uhhhhh yes please!

Ashnod is interesting…I got really excited at first glance, but that quickly cooled. It sits in a slightly awkward design space imo. I don’t think it’s suited for my environment. It’s incremental and relying to attack is tough for the creature sacrifice strategy. Converting bodies in powerstone...

Weird that an artificer has nothing to do with artifacts

I think I’ll give Lab Man a go, but keep your comments in mind. I like a good hidden archetype, there are several in the cube….Nexus is its own hidden archetype in a way. Bringing Lab Man makes space for a more casual self mill deck…Nexus is still around to “discover” Making a couple other subs...

Ruinator was pretty strong in my cube when removal was worse. It wasn’t all that difficult to cast on curve either. Of course, if Ruinator would be good in any environment it would be in my cube. I cut it pretty recently. There’s been a ton of recursive creatures printed since innistrad and...

It's a good question. I do count it....it's on par with Oracle in my experience, and allows for some truly wacky builds. I'm not sure whether a third piece is really necessary, and I'm interested to hear your thoughts. One typically wants two pieces for the combo deck to manifest in my...

GCC Fight Club: jace, wielder of mysteries VS laboratory maniac I've been running Jace over Maniac since it was printed, but I'm beginning to rethink that. Pro Lab Man: - Is a creature and infinitely easier to recur or search for: Grapple with Past, Necromancy, Oath of Druids, Tracker's...

Countless Gear Renegade of the two. Another fun option: shrine of loyal legions

Retriever is much more powerful than Mender. I thought it was just a fringey include at the time I first added it to my list, but it’s really good in environments like ours with a high density of artifact support….so much that I sometimes consider adding junk diver as retriever #2

I briefly ran the Kraken in a lower powered iteration of my cube. I found it clunky in practice. But I could see this thriving in a multiplayer setting. Drana seems good. I’ve never tested it, because it has never seemed sympathetic to the goals of my black section. It always seemed like a...

My overall interest in Magic has definitely waned independent of release schedule, but the constant bombardment of new cards isn't helping. I recently moved away from a playgroup that was very unique and special to me, and I'm prioritizing some other interests over attempting to recreate that...

Yuck

The only tricks I run are Become Immense and Embercleave for the reasons you mentioned. Become Immense has been great for me at a variety of power levels.
