In order, no / not really / no. I just didn't like the repetitive play pattern, plus creatures with etb effects really don't need any help imo (because unlike other creatures, they always gain some value if they resolve, even if they are immediately dealt with). I'ld rather have people jump...

For once I don't really have a recommendation to make. Not only do I not support {w/u} in my cube, I also cut direct blinking from my cube entirely. There's now only a custom Kor Skyfisher-variant (I changed it to an artifact creature that can't blink itself) and the self-blinking Ojutai...

I really like the oddsmaker. Worst case scenario it's a 3/3 for three, which is actually a super acceptable body in those colors. Best case scenario you get to draw cards while fueling your graveyard shenanigans. Obviously best if you include some nice evasive creatures in the color, preferably...

I've never found it to be that overwhelming. It makes groundbound dorks, you are taking a turn off doing absolutely nothing, and you need the expensive spell to be in your hand the turn afterward to build something that does have impact. In my opinion it's a sweet build around card that isn't as...

As sigh said, Gelectrode is gas. I love splashing for it in {R/G} enrage decks, but that's my particular environment :)

Thermo-Alchemist and Aberrant Researcher are not showing for me in your post, not sure why. Your point on Swiftspear is interesting, it was feeling a bit meh for me as well, and I think you are spot on in your analysis. The spells matter archetype is indeed a more controlling one in my cube as...

Oh, right! I just added that in my last update as well. What do you run to support it, because it's been slightly lackluster in testing for me?

Goblin Dark-Dwellers I cut. It wasn't the most interesting addition, and the big payoff spells for the spells matter archetype are already expensive, so it often gets cut. In the end I felt that slot was better spent on a red five drop that helps out the Wildfire archetype, I believe I swapped...

I think part of the charm of the format is that you don't know exactly what two basic lands your opponent starts off with. Cutting a color would eliminate this tension.

Solved! (Art link) This also neatly adds another artifact creature to the cube for the light touch of delirium that exists in {W/B}.

I run a spells matter archetype in {U/R} in my cube, and I used to run it in Jeskai, when that was still a thing in my cube. The archetype gets picked up often, is a blast to play, and can be succesful, so I can at least show you what works in my cube! I'ld say the main cards that draw a...

Seems pretty reasonable. Fun way to fire off a quick game, though I do wonder about the land base.

See, and that's why I was in bed! :P

I must be missing something. No explanation, no link, no words that are familiar to me. Elaborate please. Edit: Never mind, the first word is actually a link, hiding on my iPad set to the dimmest of lighting :( Edit 2: Ok, I can't actually listen to that in bed (unless I want to piss off my...

Sweet! Exclusion Mage is no Man-o'-War though, you can only target opponent's creatures ;)

Sweet feedback everyone! Going to look for another way to trigger revolt in white. Also, I probably need to make room for Evolutionary Leap again. I swapped it out for Sylvan Library, which I also like a lot, but maybe I can just run both?

Next one! At the recommendation of you all know who I put in Oketra's Monument, and it's a really fun card that really fuels the {b/w} sacrifice deck very well. However, I already ran a card, that might be just nonsense with this card. What do you think of this two card combo? Oketra's...

As you should, it's really strong! I like it as a foil to control decks though, and it'll go away eventually!

Yeah, that basically confirms my suspicions. Thanks everyone for the input!
