I have decided to start a new thread to discuss random cube and non-cube related magic things. I'm going to discuss the process of constructing new cubes here, as well as talking about single cards I have been enjoying. I also plan to discuss Cube Theory and deckbuilding. I thought it would make...

You certainly have some interesting concepts at play here- I think your draft will go well. On Ramroller- does it having only 2 power actually matter in most matchups?

I think you're getting too caught up looking for synergy for this deck and missing the larger picture of your environment. Although I wouldn't call your list high powered, it is not low powered enough for a lot of the mono-U landfall enablers to be good, or even playable in some cases. I think...

Living Tsunami I guess? None of these are very exciting. Depending on the power level of your creatures, Soratami Rainshaper could be fine, but you would need to have a really weak creature base for anyone to consider playing it without any sort of synergy.

I've played with Myrsmith before, it's a really fun build-around for low powered cubes. I can even see it being decent in a higher powered list as long as it's short of ActualPower. For general power ratings, I'd rank them as: -Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle -Daring Archaeologist -Myrsmith...

In that case, I would say approach is definitely the better option. Alt wins are both more fun and less annoying than humility effects, especially if you have counterspells/other anti-approach cards in your list.

M15 Border cube might be interesting... Might be hard to balance though.

What's the fight here? More accurately, why are these two cards specifically paired against one another? If this is met as a control finisher VS battle, then I think Approach of the Second Sun is probably better. It actually wins the game as opposed to making it miserable for your opponents.

Fling is a superior win condition for Timmies.

Thank you :)

I don't necessarily think "cool enough" is the correct lens to look at this issue through. Simic Ascendancy is probably one of the coolest alt-win conditions ever printed, but it can be impossibly hard to make work. The problem with Simic Ascendancy is that most games when you get to 20...

Both have their ups and downs. Dig is nice because it's instant speed and lets you see more cards. Cruise is nice because it can be cast for U sometimes. It really depends on what you need them for.

Well, this is definitely a mid-powered card. Not good enough to always win the game by itself, but able to under the correct circumstances. I feel like the question you should be asking here is: "Which decks in my cube want to play this?" and not "Is this playable?" Do you have Control or Ramp...

I forgot this card existed. I kinda want to try it now. Do you think it's more or less powerful than Whip of Erebos?

Would you accept the answer: "as many as you have space for?" :)

It's a grindy control finisher. It's one of those cards that fits more into a style of deck than a specific archetype.

I can't really see a functional reason to do this other than making everything match ascetically, but I would say go ahead if you feel like it. Just make sure your drafters know before hand what you're doing. Also, I would recommend making the "soldier" and "human" tokens all "human soldier"...

I think it's the type of card you add to support one archetype that also happens to support multiple other archetypes, even if it's not something you'd be splashing for. Like, Molten Vortex is really at it's best in a lands matter type strategy with Life from the Loam, but it is also passible in...

Rhythm of the Wild looks so fun to play with.

I'm kind of surprised this hasn't come up yet: Weaponcraft Enthusiast This guy is a great aristocrats card, yet is also quite strong in token decks. He also helps support an artifacts-matter strategy, which If I am not mistaken is something you have shown interest in in the past. Although the...
