Midnight Reaper is a staple for my cube. The fact that it triggers on itself dying gives it a suitable baseline.

I should also say it’s very different than another 6cmc sac payoff: rage thrower.... which can come down and immediately win (or threaten to win) the game for you. Harvester comes down and then you rev up the engine and then you hopefully start to take over the game

My only experience with it was in my toshiro umezawa commander deck which provides no relevant cube data. Being 6cmc it plays out quite a bit different than most sacrifice payoffs. Harvester has a broader application in a control shell that can survive sweepers, which is value that most sac...

I think Just the Wind is easily the most expendable of those you mentioned. Maybe I’ll cut that instead of riverwinder which I agree has always played well for me....way better than you would expect on paper I was really just trying to retain some madness for thematic purposes, but most of them...

Yeah Norn is an awkward card to place. I feel like it’s only at home in a traditional mtgs “power max” setting. Pretty backbreaking in the average riptide cube. I would recommend against running it in most settings

Based on everyone’s comments, I’m considering: Out: Striped Riverwinder Mental Note Blood For Bones Phyrexian Tower Darksteel Citadel Hedron Archive Wayfarer's Bauble In: Ethereal Forager Stream of Thought Tombstalker Beacon of Unrest Retrofitter Foundry Gilded Lotus God-Pharaoh's Gift...

Sure you can!

I almost cut Daretti for Goblin Engineer in this update for that very reason, but I switched it back at the last minute. :confused: Thanks for your comments. Any cuts you recommend? I think my pet card Zombie Infestation might need to go :confused::confused: I think the delve bros with the...

Leave me and my buzz word alone But I for real need to sit down and update my first post with current design theory and archetype guide. It just such a daunting task. For now I’m all EFFICIENCY, TEMPO, EXPLOSIVE, SYNERGY, INTERSECTIONS, DYNAMISM. I feel like I’m back in art school critique with...

Good point. It's a shame there isn't a Tezzeret that works for my power level. Tezzeret, the Seeker is close. I almost brought back Torrential Gearhulk, and I think Noxious Gearhulk is still too strong I'm not sure why I've been hesitant to run the Foundry, but it does make sense. Maybe it's...

Right? Yeah, I think Gift is the way to go. I may need to tone down some reanimation elsewhere....there's a lot of reanimation right now. But Gift goes well with the dredge stuff, and is another piece for dimir with emry, tinker, etc I used to run the lotus in the old list, and I do like...

Ha! I'm creeping back up to the power level of the older version, which is closer to your power level. There's definitely more overlap now than there has been. I did a lot of sample drafts yesterday, and have a couple of issues I noted. There's an obvious lack in a non-creature artifact...

Without personal experience with either, I prefer technique on paper. It’s clean and interesting. Demonstrate is a may ability so if it doesn’t make sense to copy it, you don’t have to. It’s nice to be able to play politics if you want. I like that it’s splashable too...although that is probably...

Oh wow. I wish mine weren't beat to hell, I'd sell them in a heartbeat

My personal favorite is Frog Tricks™

I still have a set of those old vanguard cards somewhere. I think I’ve used them maybe once. They were included in a collection I bought like 20 years ago

I’ll have to check to see I have a saved deck list with a record to share when I’m at my computer, but my favorite Frog deck packs things like: Zuran Orb Raven's Crime Entomb Asylum Visitor life from the loam Grapple with the Past Zombie infestation Ayula's influence Crucible of Worlds Ramunap...

Thanks for the thoughtful response. It’s seems right on the cusp for me. I am increasing the quality of removal with my next update, but Reggie will still be close to the largest body in my cube. It does seem format-defining. I like the idea of having a huge efficient beater, but I could just as...

It was in my list briefly before I powered down, and I remember it being really good. I’m just not sure if it’s egregious. Obvs a good graveyard fueler. I like it as a Hellbent anchor...no cards in hand means there’s no downside.
