Channel! Gain that life back for more shenanigans.

Who peed in your cereals this morning? I do think it is interesting. Now your Chromatic Star can receive Arcbound Ravager counters. Sacrifice it to Warren Soultrader for mana and cards. Now all your creatures can sacrifice themselves for cards (or mana with the Petal) if you have Agatha's Soul...

I am on the fence with Enduring Renewal. It is purely a combo piece whereas my other combo cards tend to have other utilities. There are sweet decks you can draft with the card, but they kind of look the same. Ones 1 Currency Converter 1 Skullclamp 1 Vampiric Tutor 1 Thoughtseize 1 Nested...

I am trying to build an enchantment cube and you hit the same themes I was going for: modified, delirium and bargain as common ground. So maybe consider enchantments matter too. And if you do, historic + sagas could do work.

I can understand that, however if I am drafting a labman selfmill deck, I want that labman! I am not risking it wheeling when there are a myriad of other self-mill enablers but only one or two payoffs similar to labman. I think it's such a sweet card that I fear others might take it as a sign...

If they make you happy then keep them! I was just saying that they will pull you into that color and don't really care about synergy all that much since the base rate is good enough on its own. The Badgersaur is probably the biggest standout. What I meant to say is that even if the 4+ drops...

I think the cube looks really good. I like how you've managed to fit in some narrow build arounds that don't feel all that narrow! Academy Manufactor comes to mind. Main critiques if I may: - A few power outliers could detract from synergy (Pyrogoyf, Mawloc, Psychic Frog, ...) - Maybe some...

I am sticking to the somewhat classic nonfixing singleton idea for my cube. I feel it’s easier to get feedback from people and it’s more approachable than with a bunch of “fake” cards (this is purely subjective as I am sure the UB cards I run are considered “fake” by others). Should I change my...

I had a deck with 5 color fixing that was thematic and I think it’s a neat solution in your 2 color decks: Harvest, Astrolabe, Heart and Vale allow you to chose 3 color decks with more confidence!

My first Enduring Renewal deck is a sweet one IMO! Ones 1 Currency Converter 1 Faithless Looting 1 Goblin Welder 1 Lava Dart 1 Guide of Souls Twos 1 Containment Construct 1 Scrapwork Mutt 1 Genesis Chamber 1 Scroll Rack 1 Inti, Seneschal of the Sun 1 Goblin Bombardment 1 Phelia, Exuberant...

I had it for a while in my MP cube and it was fine. Later in the game it's either a ton of value or a finisher which is a good place to be IMO, games need to end! Midgame, you can usually block, blink and get your creatures back for the next turn, making it a value Fog. Your environment is...

I would take Feed the Swarm here. Non-committal, efficient and sure to make my deck if in Black. If I were feeling spicy, then Laboratory Maniac would be the pick hoping to wheel the Crawling Sensation. Does the Hatchling get played? It seems like a step down compared to the rest.

We had a thread I can’t find where we were building jump start packs. It was a fun design challenge for sure!

It was a lot of fun and I'm just messing with you :p I had no idea they were this complicated! I was considering the Crucible of Worlds/Yawgmoth's Will one in Green, but that is probably enough to get me off of them for this cube. Enduring Renewal I posted about Enduring Renewal in the...

It was just the draft. However, if going for a cube with these combo elements, you have to remove easy bombs from the draft pool IMO. Otherwise they just negate the need to draft a coherent deck. The list I drafted from was light on those so I think it would play out as a race between two decks...

I see what I did wrong, good catch! Something I missed when saying that Ballista could replace Ornithopter is that the thopter can be sacrificed to Altar of Dementia or Goblin Bombardment for the win whereas the other just dies (you would need Blood Artist here). Another type of card that...

Walking Ballista and friends also work, but the Thopter is a good one!

Enduring Renewal I recently drafted Ryan Saxe's Build around cube and first picked Enduring Renewal. I ended up with the following deck which was very fun to draft and puzzle out. Ones 1 Case of the Uneaten Feast 1 Worldly Tutor 1 Lunarch Veteran 1 Snarling Gorehound 1 Gilded Goose 1 Willow...

Survival: I like mechanics that encourage attacking (or crewing vehicles). It also reminds me that Moonsnare Prototype, Springleaf Drum and Paradise Mantle are cards I should give a second look. Rooms: I really like Rooms as they've mostly stapled a solid base effect onto enchantments with a...

Even though Duskmourn is coming out soon, I've been thinking about some changes. I saw that Schafkurai updated their cube and I drafted it a few times and (re)discovered some cool cards. I would post in their thread, but I can't seem to find it. Now that I've called them out on it, we can...
