Pia Nalaar has good stats upon entering the battlefield which keeps it playable. 3 power on 2 bodies for 3 mana is a reasonable deal. Once in play, it gives you a couple options for addressing the board state, and can be a great unobtrusive mana sink in the mid to late game.

Pia and Kiran! I knew I was overlooking something obvious....as well as Pia Nalaar EDIT: Double strike creatures are great and definitely slot in well. Adorned Pouncer can be added to that list. However, the equipment matters bros aren't very appealing to me. There aren't enough equipment...

Hey guys, I've been looking to flesh out the identity of Boros in my cube lately. Historically, I've been a big advocate of prowess tokens on the back of Young Pyromancer and Monastery Mentor. As I'm looking to shave the top of my power band down a bit, Mentor is on the chopping block, and I'm...

insanity.

I've been so close to running storm in my cube. This might be the tipping point for me.

The issue with considering a card like Drogskol Calvary for its archetype support is that it hits so late in the game while requiring additional resource expenditure to make an impact. Outside of cheating cards into play (reanimator, etc), 7cmc cards are "nail in the coffin" cards. For go wide...

7 mana is an awful lot for a long term value engine. When you're running cards like Thragtusk, Shriekmaw, Flametongue Kavu, Meloku the Clouded Mirror, Drogskol Cavalry seems veeeery underwhelming. Other higher cmc white creatures...What about Eternal Dragon or Exalted Angel?

This has been very successful in my list. I dig it a lot.

Anyone find Linvala, the Preserver too strong? I cut her from my list before seeing her in action. I've been opting for: Angel of Serenity Because Sneak Attack can never have enough support in my cube.

Deed is great, and can be very one-sided with the high cmc delve creatures like gurmag angler and all of the recursive spuds golgari has access to.

Ron Spencer dishing out the nostalgia.

Looter il-Kor is an easy pick for me. It's pretty perfect card imo. It's a nice dependable beater unlike infiltrator making it clutch for tempo decks, alongside equipment and in Simic with buffs like Druid's Familiar, Elephant Guide, etc. I'd run Wharf over the Jeskai Elder in your list...

Golgari is definitely one of the deepest guilds across all power bands. Love the Glissa tech. I gotta remember to test her out.

Gitrog is on my watchlist for being too good. As is: Deathrite Shaman this guy however... Grim Flayer Is my bro. I really dig this card. It's my crossover card bringing a little bit of Rakdos Hellbent and Gruul Berserkers to Golgari Aggro.

It's not a no-brainer. Some things are important for it to make a lot of sense in your cube: 1) Prevalence of graveyard synergy and value. Obviously this is the main reason you run it. 2) Restricted creature stats to cmc. If your cube isn't running a lot of cheap 3 toughness bros at 2-3cmc...

grim lavamancer The only red one drop that matters. Also getting mileage out of: soul-scar mage When I had a peasant cube this guy was surprisingly good: stonewright

I really like burning the last X cards for the highest quality decks, and is a little less cumbersome in practice. Alternating random burns between picks will be more challenging to draft which is also cool in its own right.

Sneak is pretty fragile tbh. If you aren't maximizing it with Eldrazi, tutors, and Wheel effects, it's actually a lot of fun and challenging deck to build. Of course Griselbrand is the biggest red flag in you cube with Sneak Attack.

Overseer of the Damned or Noxious Gearhulk You already run Grizz, so I'm not sure how much you need Razaketh. Gearhulk has the obvious synergy with Welder and is great in control. Have you ever tested Sneak Attack in your cube?

Now that's a card I haven't thought about in 20 years.
