Counter package Contagion Clasp Throne of Geth Steel Overseer Marketback Walker Works with Skelions 1 and 3, plus Serrated Arrows giving decent colorless removal. This becomes really fun with more proliferate and mana rocks with counters such as Noble’s Purse. Grindy sacrifice package Myr...

Great list. There are a ton of discard outlets in old-border! Plus a lot of dredgers. I feel like dredge is a mechanic that works well in old border and there are a lot of classics. A few others that can be good to discard Call of the Herd Beast Attack Grizzly Fate Other than the madness...

Yeah part of the charm of these cubes for me is how scrappy you have to be sometimes. The contrast between spells and creatures is pretty funny too! Speaking of Red creatures, let's look at Goblins! Based on how shitty most of the creatures are, I am drawn towards kindred decks to get a little...

This I never realized that Drain Life was so confusing. It's been part of Magic since I started playing so definitely a blind spot for me. I think that Corrupt and Hunger are a necessary evil if you want to go down this life payment route. This is a good point and I think you are right. There...

You know how players hate mill? What if you milled them out by exiling their deck. That seems even more rage inducing Jester's Cap Jester's Scepter Rootwater Thief Denying Winds Bitter Ordeal Nightmare Incursion

lol at the Whammy Counter on the Jack-in-the-Mox. Next I'd like to take a look at Suicide Black. An aggressive and disruptive deck that uses its life total as a resource to play overstated dorks (for the time and in Black!) . This one is close to my heart as it is the first deck I was playing...

Not reinventing the wheel here, but cards like these work in both mill and selfmill and can get better the harder you lean on them Hedron Crab Grinding Station Mesmeric Orb In a non combo cube you likely won’t be able to abuse these too much, but they do have inevitably. They are also on board...

100%! They can be pretty wild too, so you are in for some spicy decks. Your aura package is tight. Shadow creatures are the perfect fit for them and are among White's best options for going aggro anyways. You had me look up other cool auras Exoskeletal Armor Huge in the right deck Instill...

I’ve been having fun experimenting with the old border restriction and am intrigued by the possibilities of the various archetypes. I know some of you have experience or even curate some of these cubes and thought it would be fun to steal share ideas. When talking about old-border, I am...

For sure, but it’s not as clean as other effects is what I mean. My Oath decks could usually support polymorph thanks to the various noncreature token makers (occult epiphany, formless genesis, esika’s chariot, …)

For my Explosive Synergy Cube I don't have any slam dunks, but some cards are strong contenders. Posting in order of preference. Vivi Ornitier Love the possibilities here, especially with Agatha's Soul Cauldron making great use of the mana ability. Might be time to shelf Rielle, the Everwise...

Intuition This is a card I have been avoiding thinking about because it's pretty complicated. It's basically a tutor if your cube is built around redundancy and recursion. At 3 mana and instant speed, it's really tempting! I'll post a few piles to see what can be done, I'd love for you to...

Cubecobra added a combo tab in the analysis section and this has me considering a few additions to enable some combos. It also shed some light on some combos I hadn’t noticed like Underworld Breach Stitcher’s Supplier Phyrexian Altar or Lotus Cobra Springheart Nantuko Mutavault One card that...

I think the ward 4 on Iymrith is the way to go for your cube. It's a great mana equalizer and forces them to pay at least as much as you even with hyper efficient removal (STP costs 5 to target). Then what Brad said about untapping.

First thought is that since it's on ETB and not cast, a Sultai deck around these would really pop off Lonis, Cryptozoologist Stridehangar Automaton Academy Manufactor

Thelonite Monk

Do you remember what other support or enchantment cards you ran? I was also thinking about Prototype creatures as ways to meet your goals of having top end that can be relevant early too. Nice with blink too. Do these work? Steel Seraph Autonomous Assembler Phyrexian Fleshgorger Rootwire Amalgam

Definitely think that Decision is a solid idea. It's an A+B+C combo, but part of that equation is having any creature, which is pretty trivial in a Green deck. The biggest downside is that it doesn't necessarily pair well with the other Green cheat effect that you run. For that reason, maybe...

Black Mage's Rod Transpose Queen Brahne Lindblum, Industrial Regency I really like these Wizard tokens (and the equipment effectively creating one). You have to put in work to get anything out of them and they stack really well! Going to be trying them out in my lower power cube, I think...
