MoM thoughts (I'll do MoM commander a bit later). I haven't been super active with my cube this year, but there are some cool cards from the latest set that I wanted to mention in this thread so I don't forget them down the line. I am not currently interested in adding Battles. Not only do I...

I didn’t want to mention the Saga as it is so unique and probably doesn’t fit into earlier Magic play patterns. That said, it’s fantastic especially if you add the Baubles and such. Green then becomes an artifact color if you have Saga and Nettlecyst alongside its artifact producers and Esika’s...

You are probably right, but that's what I like about the theme. The payoffs just work by themselves via attacking. Limits how narrow it can be.

My thinking was that to entice players to go for it, a couple of power outliers would be a good way to go.

If this list is still somewhat updated, then I think you have a good base to slip in artifact payoffs that care about the number of artifacts on the battlefield. This goes back to what Safra was saying about affinity being a good option. That way, you don't really need to play more artifacts per...

Ooh, I haven’t checked out the thread, I’ll take a look. I didn’t know about the Curse, it could be a good fit. I was exploring the combo aspect with the Engine and Alarm. They are certainly great build arounds, but maybe a bit too easy to abuse at lower power level. There was also Grand...

Wildfire Awakener This new card from MoM, might be the critical piece to unlocking a new archetype, or at least taking an existing one to a new level. It isn't a high powered archetype, but should fit into a lot of cubes in this forum. Tl;dr - A Boros archetype that isn't equipment matters -...

The Blackstaff of Waterdeep Moonsnare Prototype I don’t have a good handle on how to tackle your nostalgia problem, but if you do go with small creatures, artifact trinkets and artifact lands, then these two cards (that I didn’t see mentioned) could be decent. These have the advantage of being...

My cube is leaning more on the combo side these days, so tutors are pretty important for setting up more elaborate engines. They also give consistency to more unique cards. Mystical Tutor Vampiric Tutor Demonic Tutor Very high powered cards that get you pretty much anything you need. I'm...

2/2 flier. Can’t block. Whenever one or more instant or sorcery spells you control deal damage to an opponent or a battle card, you may pay {R}. If you do, return Bloodfeather Phoenix from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gains haste until end of turn. Now this seems pretty good! 2 mana is...

Any love for Steven Erikson and the Malazan series? Easily my favourite fantasy series (so far) with epic characters and amazing world history. I really like that good and bad depends on your perspective and the interaction between gods and humans isn’t one directional. it does take a while to...

I really love these GW Saga decks. Here are a couple of cool pieces to boost the deck. Esika’s Chariot Is areally fun one with Saga. An extra artifact that can copy the constructs. I also really recommend Expedition Map It grabs Saga or gets fetched by it and you have a utility land draft...

My storm decks might be splashing White now?! Love this card!

Random thoughts/impressions and cards that look cool for your cube: I like Firestorm as a controlling Red wrath and crazy enabler, dislike Urza's Saga here as being just too powerful. Agreed on the Altar not being the best sac outlet for this cube. Grim Flayer is probably better than Baba here...

Can an Eldrazi be compleated? I have no clue if there are rules for the corruption...

List is here (still very rough) https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/rxsi It’s pretty high powered and I want combo to be part of the environment. Mana doublers (Mana Flare) act as redundant pieces for the land auras. I hadn’t thought about using a limited amount of lands (thanks to your untappers)...

I am working on a Temur cube that uses some of that enchantment mana too for explosive turns. The blue untap lands are great for that Cloud of Faeries Snap Frantic Search Time Spiral Vizier of Tumbling Sands Kiora’s Follower As are some utility lands. You mentioned the bouncelands, how about...

Randomly drafted a deck from Brad's cube with this synergy Illuminator Szeras Metalwork Colossus Myr Enforcer Are there other cards that would work to provide some redundancy (aside from more Affinity cards)? I really like the "combo" and am looking to include it in a project. The only one I...

I like a lot of what is going on, and have a few thoughts: White artifact payoffs White has a lot of support for artifacts, but not many payoffs. Digsite Engineer is great as is Dispatch. But a few more build arounds would be cool. Here are some suggestions: Puresteel Paladin or Sram, Senior...

A lot of these comes down to personal preferences, here are mine! Time Wipe, Grisly Salvage: You can find mono colored equivalents at the same rate. Rakdos Cackler: You don't run Black aggro and Red has a ton of one drops already. Advent of the Wurm: Your Green section already has a bunch of...
