I've seen this a couple times but never given it much thought. What can you tell me about it? Arcane Artisan

Thanks for the shoutout Nanonox! First, before looking at the mana, I would look at what kind of storm you can to support. If you want to keep it as a small archetype, you should look at maximizing the impact per slot. I think the highest impact of all cards is in Dream Halls, then Lion's Eye...

Yeah, I think that if you had three supported combo decks using most of the same pieces, it could work. But that's a lot of effort and it leads to even more implications down the line. I also don't think adding spell-based combo to my cube would work. It really is based around gradual advantage...

That has a few too many duplicates for my cube lol

I have! But it doesn't look much like a one drop, does it?

Goblin Engineer vs Daretti, Scrap Savant These two cards aren't that similar. But which one do you like more? Assume Goblin Welder is already in.

I would love to support Madness but the cards with the actual mechanic are very weak nowadays. Similarly, I want a very large amount of good flashback cards. I want all colors to have their own Firebolts. I want a colorless Naturalize. Yes, I said it. I want a fixed Skullclamp. I want more...

Are there any non-combo decks in cube that can abuse: Lion's Eye Diamond and Bazaar of Baghdad?

I have read it! In fact, I've read all that has ever been said about Doomsday in this forum and a good other places. The issue is that 95% of information is about pairing with Laboratory Maniac or Thassa's Oracle. Which is fine, but a 2-card combo is not where I want things to be. Either way...

Castle Arvendale seems terrible. In fact, I've played with it quite a bit and I'm increasingly certain it is awful. It has won me absolutely zero games since I ran it in Historic while I remember several games in which I lost because it wasn't a basic plains or whatever. Five mana for a single...

I'm looking for small piles that will win you the game with Gifts or Doomsday. I know there are a lot of them but I don't really know any. For example, my intuition tells me there's a game-winning combo with some of the following: Doomsday Frantic Search Lion's Eye Diamond Elixir of Immortality...

Ultimately, there only so many slots in the cube. So any card that is good enough to see play but that doesn't promote any interesting archetypes or fun play patterns is a bit of a waste. I was mostly talking about purely green payoffs. I should have counted Vengevine, but I would love one more...

Of course you are not out of place! Feel free to tinker with the cube and improve it any way you see fit! I'm flattered you like it enough to take it as a basis for one of your own. SPELLS MATTER I think it's more than possible to extend the archetype to all colours, like you and DBS have done...

I tested Storm quite a few times and I think it could be done. The main issue I ran into was building the same deck every time using the same pieces. So it was fun drafting it once but then you ended up with the same deck every time. This was particularly noticiable given how small my cube is...

Thank you Nanonox! I also enjoy drafting your cube a lot. In fact, you can tell it was an influence because I inch closer and closer to you on that cube map. Since Inscho left for low-power land, I've looked into your cube more and more. I've seen you've cloned it and I'm so incredibly...

Worst card to lose to: Misinformation Spend one mana to deny your opponent three draw steps! So fun!

More small changes: Mutagenic Growth This is a colorless, free pump spell. I think it could make its way onto lists that want a trick or two under their sleeves. Bone Shredder > Murderous Rider Trading Post > Scrap Trawler Phyrexian Arena > Painful Truths I think these are all improvements...

What about Inexorable Blob? Can it be strong if you have graveyard stuff? Or is it just cute? I'm not sure if it's niche or just way below my power level. Inexorable Blob

This looks extremely obnoxious to play against. But I already found the auras.dec to be unbeliably obnoxious. The fault probably lies at Wizards for making cards that ignore exile effects, though.

All right, I'm going to try this: Experiment One -> Sylvan Safekeeper Incubation Druid -> Deathcap Cultivator Strangleroot Geist -> Antigue Collector Briarbridge Tracker A bunch of humans. Antique Collector seems superbusted but I'm willing to give it a try. Explore -> Traverse the Ulvenwald...
