I switched from Thopter Sky Network to The Antiquities War because Network was drawing cards a little too reliably. I also like that, if you draft correctly, War kills a lot quicker as well, if you draft your deck around it, which is a plus in my book (as in, it ups the stakes during gameplay)...

I'm still in the testing stage, but I've already made room for: Rhox Veteran Changeling Outcast Fountain of Ichor The Outcast has been quietly awesome in testing. It's unassuming, but there's so many small synergies in my cube, like Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow (and ninja's in general, because...

The web apps don't seem to be working yet, but yeah, that does look interesting and useful!

Well, mtgnexus is live, or so it seems! https://www.mtgnexus.com/ Not much there yet, in the forums.

And? Did you get to test it?

Fair. 3 cmc mana rocks (and 5 mana wraths) are a cornerstone of my environment. I'll admit that I added some cheaper, conditional wraths since, but I think the principle still holds. Anyway, I run no 2 cmc rocks whatsoever, but I agree Orazca Relic is probably one of the weaker in my cube. My...

Covenant of Minds :') Viz. Nemesis of Mortals.

Disagree with TrainmasterGT there, all three have what it takes to be good enough in your cube, I think. Japahn's evaluation is on point. Since you are running a staples cube, I'ld rank Guttersnipe first, then Weird, then Steam-Kin, just because Guttersnipe is such an iconic flag post for the...

Eh, {X}{X}{X} is such a harsh mana cost though. There's a reason Astral Cornucopia isn't even played in Commander. Considering that Meteorite is fine as a one mana generating artifact, but that you don't always want to pay {5}, you could also try... Alternatively, I could totally see the...

Well... it's only a 2/1 first strike. I think they can figure out how to deal with it (play an x/3, for example). Also, self-bounce on the condition that something you want to bounce gets through. I could drop the first strike if it turns out too strong though, that would make the card a good...

Is it weaker though? Putting any permanent on the battlefield can be pretty sweet, depending on what you play (*cough* Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker)! Upheaval is a completely different beast, and super powerful. Resetting lands is... Good. It gets filthy when you have a bit more than 6 mana...

There's definitely some cool designs. I'm testing like crazy at the moment, and already found room for a few M20 cards.

Don't get your hopes up, core sets are usually indicative of the current design mindset.

Don't mess with a badger in real life though, they're fierce!

Getting your Vengevine countered and following him up with a one drop on the same turn is the bee's knees! :')

Sure, I could rename it eternal ninjutsu or something.

Lord, yes! Feldon connects a lot of themes. Cards from the discard theme feed it with creatures to reanimate, cards from the artifact theme interact favorable with the tokens it creates. I really like the play patterns as well, and find it much less repetitive than you would think. Also, it has...

Over the years, I have pulled down my mana curve lower and lower, to the point where the number of six+ mana cards in my 450 cube is 35 according to CT. And that's including a few X-spells you'ld be happy to cast for less. If you think about it, how many 6+ cards do you want to cast in the...

Yeah, I contemplated it, but my artifact payoff six drop is Sharding Sphinx, and I just don't see this being more interesting. Also, I already run Tezzeret the Schemer and The Antiquities War to turn the "lousy" artifacts (i.e. those you no longer need in the late game) into something useful.

I'm currently running: Jaya, Venerated Firemage Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter Domri, Anarch of Bolas Sorin, Vengeful Bloodlord Saheeli, Sublime Artificer Karn, the Great Creator I still have Ob Nixilis, the Hate-Twisted in testing. I really, really like it, but haven't found a cut for him yet...
