You bring up some interesting thoughts and looking at some of your slots, it feels like you are hesitating between the 2 approaches you described. Whether you go higher or lower power, I think a minimal Storm package is the way to go. Minimal Storm for me is a Dimir archetype with support and...

While not landfall, could using Revolt scratch a similar itch with the Vistas? Stuff like Narnam Renegade Greenwheel Liberator You get one trigger for an oversized creature, but it doesn't snowball. Not as satisfying of an engine though. For those, you have slower more repeatable cards like...

I can see myself coming back on this decision if I feel that the Red cheat decks aren't coming together often enough. However, I've played Chandra TOD before and she is a lot of fun like blacksmithy says. Nahiri would play fine, but I am just not excited enough for her in a gold slot especially...

Time for some concrete updates. There is a mix of macro and micro archetype changes, hopefully this works out! Boros control and blink I recently watched Brian Coval playing a Legacy Boros control deck and it looked great. The big things my cube is lacking for this deck are Planeswalkers...

I think it's a nice counterpoint to the spell based combo decks you have. This creature version is less explosive and powerful than Brain Freeze + LED + Breach, but the mana generation is insane if left alone. You also have some solid card advantage spells to keep the cards flowing and a...

Agatha’s Soul Cauldron I am coming around to this card as a reasonable piece of GY hate with huge synergy potential. What I like is that it’s both a self-contained +1/+1 enabler and payoff that can lead to some crazy plays. There is so much range in what activated abilities exists that there is...

Malakir Rebirth vs Unearth I like the idea of having a land on the backside more than cycling 2 I think, but is the timing restriction on Rebirth too limiting?

If the Red options are too lackluster, could you go with colorless instead? Stuff like the underworld cookbook Bag of holding Collector’s Vault Key to the city Lesser masticore

My favorite card of the set is probably Brenard, Ginger Sculptor It ties together a lot of different themes, namely ETB, sacrifice, lifegain and artifacts. The easiest way to abuse Brenard is to pair it alongside ETB creatures and a sacrifice outlet. But the great thing is that it works...

Deck showcase Got to draft a wild one that showcases the new Lich-Knights' Conquest. Ones 1 Anger 1 Birds of Paradise 1 Ignoble Hierarch Twos 1 Altar of Dementia 1 Samwise Gamgee 1 Lonis, Cryptozoologist 1 Territorial Kavu 1 Wrenn and Six 1 Fauna Shaman 1 Survival of the Fittest 1 Reprieve 1...

Fable of the Mirror-Breaker Finally a place for Fable to shine! On a more serious note, this one kind of does it all: Fills the GY, gives you fodder and cares about enchantments+artifacts+other card types. Occult Epiphany Other good ones Staff of the Storyteller Hard Evidence

By the way, do you want the opponent to be able to get their creature back? Do you want Disenchant to be the kind of counterplay or something more like Boomerang?

For my 1vs1 cube, Interested Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender Tough Cookie Pollen-Shield Hare Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender: While I'm not a fan of the PW text, I do like everything else the card is doing. Tough Cookie: Artifact matters is heavily supported in my cube, to the point where a cheap...

On an unrelated note, I really like Rowan's Grim Search It doesn't quite get there at my higher power level, but I think it would be very sweet for a lot of mid-powered lists on the forums. Outside of Painful Truth, I think it might be one of the best versions of this effect. Being an...

Got together with some friends for a 3 player draft of my pre-pandemic cube: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/fnmp It follows the spirit of my main cube by pushing a low curve and having synergy decks compete with good stuff decks. However, the card pool is mostly limited to Eldraine (late 2019)...

gleeful demolition was looking for ways to destroy artifacts and found this one. Could be sweet with all the food/treasures/clues provided. Has anyone tried it?

I like my cubes running on the spell velocity angle with a cheap(ish) curve. That means that I run payoffs for casting spells and lots of them. It also means that extra lands lose value relatively quickly and are easy to pitch. Then when you factor in GY/discard synergies it really gets...

Scattered thoughts: Monster Manual Do you usually Sneak Attack on turn four and hope to untap with it or do you jam it on 5 and activate it right away? If the latter then they are somewhat comparable since they both get the fatty down on the same turn. I haven’t played it yet, but I tend to...

Edit: just saw your new post after I posted mine. Hopefully it’s still relevant! I haven’t had great success with the spells matters in Gruul. The lack of instants and sorceries in Green has been an issue. I usually have to splash Blue or Black to get a sufficient density, making them 3 color...
