Same! :D :( I consider Memphis my hometown, so that's my team. They just got knocked out of the first round as well. I caught a little of that LAL/PHX game and watching AD trying to play was tough. Anyways, good to know another fan is here..... back to our regularly scheduled the magical...

Mom and Pop's Thopter Shop is soo good. :D I hope your Dimir Grindfather deck had some theft components as homage to the famous Memphis Grizzly Tony "The Grindfather" Allen who was known for his lockdown defense and otherworldly ability to get steals.

I ran it for several months, and it was pretty decent...but pretty reliant on other cards to combo with like Zuran Orb or Greater Gargadon or World Shaper....not even close to as effortless as balance. That felt like a good thing tbh. A cheap activation would've been so oppressive due to the...

Balance has been so close to making many final drafts of my cube over the years.

One of my low-key favorite things about cube is naming the weird archetypes that are unique to your cube. My new favorite is: The Animal Trade: Which is a Simic deck based around these enchantments Trade Routes Drake Haven Ayula's Influence Anyone else enjoy coming up with archetypes names...

There's a lot of interesting archetypes here, but like @blacksmithy mentioned earlier you'll probably need to spend some time exploiting the intersections between them to avoid the on-rails experience. Like if affinity and dredge are going to be a thing in your cube, perhaps scavenge could a...

100%. I obviously love the new toys, and having design holes filled in my cube, but it's a lot. I don't feel like I get any time to settle into a list before a new host of amazing cards drop, and then I have to spend two+ weeks shuffling things around to see what and how things fit. It's a lot...

Come, stay awhile. It's beautiful this time of year ;)

Yeah, the only repeatable blink I have is Soulherder which commits you to 3c with Grief. In general, my blink and reanimation package sounds very toned down compared to yours. Apprentice Necromancer and Priest of Fell Rites are the fastest way to reanimate Grief in my cube, and are easy to...

It’s back!

What do we think about Grief at Medium to Medium-High power levels? It feels borderline. I’ve tried Thoughtseize, but it was a little too efficient. I’ve almost run Unmask at times, but it always felt a little underwhelming. It’s way more interesting than running Duress or Inquisition of Kozilek...

Agreed. Without breaking singleton, this problem also extends to a whole host of other mechanics. I gave up on defining an archetype by a mechanic a long time ago.

Omnath is really cool. I'm just a little gun shy of introducing explicit 3+ color cards. I appreciate the feedback. Lots for me to chew on. I was looking at Chromatic Lantern....which seems like a perfectly reasonable mana rock in my environment. I like that it slots easily into a mono-color...

Sinister Concoction + any of the sagas also helps

I'm more skeptical on Hard Evidence....it feels like a card most blue decks could use, but rarely want/need (at least my blue decks). I was really excited by it at first, but the more I thought about it, the less enthusiastic I became. For cheap blue defense, I think that I'd rather have a Fae...

Yeah, I don't think it would be much of a problem for my environment. It can get pretty fast, but it's not like it's consistently blistering. I'm sure I can make a couple substitutions to increase the variety in card type. I'm not married to any of the Boros guild cards at the moment: Lightning...

Oh yeah, Living Death and All Suns' Dawn are 5cmc sorceries, huh? lol....right in front of my damn face.

I definitely think this in particular could have legs here. Some good suggestions, thanks! I probably don't want to venture too far down the 3+ color road with this project...but I really like the idea conceptually and your application of it. One of my favorite aspects of your cube is the...

I wish kaleidoscorch<>firebolt was a simple switch out for me, but 2 mana on the front end really reduces its usefulness to my aggro decks

:D I've used the same avatar on forums for 15ish years. We are simply kindred spirits, ships passing in the night, brothers from other mothers, etc. We printed up t-shirts for our Club last Summer. I'm the treasurer, I get to spend the money while Sigh is busy making it.
