Great topic. I like how you've laid out some of the benefits of an upgraded mana base. It's definitely something that the average cuber could consider more carefully in planning their cube. Your mana base can set the tone for your environment. To complexify the discussion a bit, I'll offer a...

Nexus is an all star in my cube. Being more expensive and a self shuffle makes it harder to abuse in a midrange value way. So the only decks that get to abuse are the ones that have heavy self mill. It has value in my cube even if you never cast it. It’s a super unique card that I really enjoy.

How valuable is a free repeated sac outlet for you? I'm leaning towards Yahenni, because you say sacrifice is an aggressive strategy, and Yahenni particularly excels at steering sacrifice in that direction. I really appreciated how it helped keep my sacrifice decks from always getting bogged...

Vibe>All. 1st printings or bust.

If you do go further down the cycling path, check out these cubes: https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/apj https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/i50 The 1st is closer to your power level than the 2nd.

Oh, I get it. It's why I enjoy mill in my cube so much. I wrote a little blurb about it in the original post of my cube blog under Card & Mechanics Spotlight. A card that I really love is: Wall of Lost Thoughts And with your lack of a blink package, could be a viable option for you? It might...

Is more than 4 in white necessary? You have Kor Skyfisher, Shepherd of the Flock, Emancipation Angel, and Leave // Chance...as well as Angelic Purge to deal with Demonic Pact, and Charming Prince as more blink support....not to mention a once in a blue moon convoluted blink engine around...

Yep. Life is short. Run the zombie, and add Vesperlark back #teamdynamism lmao

I was very interested in this card when it first spoiled, but I have never tested it. To oversimplify it's a 3 mana do-nothing. You slot it in to take advantage of things a deck is already doing, because it needs other cards to have value as it neither immediately impact the board nor does is...

In a vacuum, I'm more interested in Shambler due to the higher upside. Ingredient is the more versatile of the two, but its ceiling to me is "serviceable glue", never upset to have, but never excited either. As a glue card, would it be filling a design hole? A poor man's Doomed Traveler isn't...

Nemesis of Reason is a red flag for me, and feels like it could be Jace, Memory Adept for your environment. You have a slower environment with a less than robust removal package. You will probably find it being drafted outside of any archetype concerns as a bomb. I really like Codex Shredder as...

If we are still looking for an 8th I can draft, but won't be able to play.

I've stared at this question for close to an hour now lol.....maybe it's because it's been a particularly long Monday at work on little sleep, but there's a lot of ways to answer this. Can you explain what you mean, and what the end goal is? Like what isn't happening enough in your list? Or what...

Also going to test this: In: phylath, world sculptor Out: borborygmos enraged Easier to hardcast. Not necessarily as swingy for Sneak Attack but can make you a team of Wildlife surviving plants...or make one plant huge for Berserk or Heartpiercer Manticore. At 6 cmc it can be fetched via...

After looking at it more, the 5c emphasis would have a larger impact on cube real estate than I'm willing to commit to right now. I'm going to shelve the idea for now, but it is something I'm still interested in. I thought I could just toss in a handful of cards like Prismatic Ending...

It’s a great card, I just run a very low density of 1 drops in my cube.

fomo is real
