    General Life Gain as a Thing

    There are a few (besides those two busted ones) that are enabler and payoff in one: Lone Rider Path of Bravery Nightmare's Thirst Vizkopa Guildmage Many of them are also good aggro bodies with one trigger like Bloodthirsty Aerialist or Ajani's Pridemate. Special shoutout goes to Malakir...

    General Life Gain as a Thing

    Lifegain is ver much a thing these days. It was surprisingly easy to integrate the archetype at a medium power level, even now with 500 cards. I've built it as an aggro deck that has sometimes enough synergies and resources to last longer and still win in the mid-late game. I run...

    General M21 Madness

    For a moment I thought madness was confirmed as tze showcase mechanic of m21. Why you do dis to me?

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    It seems like a really nice way to make reanimator a golgari thing, as it is still a useful card in any deck. But with the right synergies it can be super sweet. I think that's exactly what cube cards should be like: Never bad but more rewarding with the right deck around them. BUT if you...

    I like the card advantage and the instant speed especially more, so Counterpart for me. The blowout potential is huge and makes a drafter dream, yet the card will play solid and fair most of the time.

    Hmm, the cycling decks are probably going to be more midrange-y or even control like. They are also supposed to be white-centered, so maybe that makes the colored cycling costs less worse? My white themes are the following: Wx Cycling WU Blink WB Lifegain Aggro RW GoWide Aggro GW Token...

    I'm looking for a fun blue control finisher at a low power level. It should have some form inevitability without being too good. More concrete, it should be compareable in power level with: Ephemeron It doesn't matter how it wins or if it's a creature or not PS. Found somerhing, I'm going to...

    Card/Deck Wx Cycling

    I think you guys are right with Drannith Healer and Spirit Cairn being to weak. But I wanna try Flourishing Fox. You can just play him turn one and than have him sit there, becoming a more and more threatening creature as the game goes on. And if you don't have him that early, you can just cycle...

    Card/Deck Wx Cycling

    I want to discuss with you a potential lower powered pivot archetype, made possible with Ikoria. In my cube I have a strong theme for every color combination and something less dominant centered in each individual color. Only white was lacking something cohesive. Since I was already trying to...

    Oh, of course, Tuktuk is great. I also run for similar reasons as a #3 ... Dragon Egg Still wins the game most of the time after a wildfire

    Is this a good Wildfire #3? Devastating Dreams You obviously losevif it gets countered, but if not, a scaleable wildfire could be worth the risk? I've seen it in cubes and wonder if it could be better than it looks at first

    On the base of raw power level this one might seem easy ... Stitcher's Supplier Eye Collector ... but while the Supplier is obviously much better at fueling dredge, the faerie has some legs in other archetypes too, as a Suntail Hawk is totally serviceable for aggro decks in my environment...

    Some of my favorites Mire Triton Supports lifegain and dredge, is great roadblock for control decks and works as a 2-powered, pseudo-evasive dork for ninjutsu or other aggressive decks in my cube. Martyr of Dusk For the boros gowide decks it is two bodies in a cheap package. For the...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Well, I already run basically all the cheap, free madness enablers in the archetypes colors ({R} and {G}). Of course a Wild Mongrel will always be better than something with a 2-mana activation cost, but I am sticking to singleton and there are only so many of these. Luckily, I am not restricted...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I feared that. But the importat part is not the pump/on-board-trick, but the "aggressive" discard outlet. Interesting that you mentioned Deepwood Drummer, Onde, do you think he has really more chances to play well? And is he better than this guy? Stampede Driver My problem with the Driver is...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Narcissism Could this card be solid in an aggressive madness deck, as it will probably make blocking really, really akward? It also generates some extra damage and is a hard to remove discard outlet. I wish it cost 2, but maybe I'm undervaluing it's impact?

    Oh, Ruin Raider is probably just what I've been looking for. It doesn't directly reward you for hitting, but it still rewards evasive attacks, as those are easier to make to trigger him without risking your creatures wellbeing! And I totally forgot about Raid. Mardu Skullhunter wouldbe the next...

    I'm looking for back cards that reward you for attacking with small evasive creatures. I already run all the ninjas that fit my power level and I'm looking for some potential pseudo ninjas in that regard. Blue has many sweet ones like ... Tandem Lookout Ophidian Eye Reconnaissance Mission...

    Thanks guys! I think I like Elephant Guide/Boar Umbra more for a straight up aggro deck, but Moldervine Cloak is probably appealing for greater variety of decks. If the +3/+3 for 3 appears to be something really good for my environment, I'm coming back to find a winner between these two!
