Would a vehicle fill the same role? Untethered Express Fleetwheel Cruiser These are kind of equipment if you squint a little. I think these ones play fairly and will end games.

You have a point for a "normal" environment, but I was thinking in the context of my multiplayer cube, where aggro decks aren't really a thing. It's more of a fast midrange than anything else. In that context, the importance IMO, is having some staying power and both cards give you a card...

Those are the two I currently run, so happy to hear!

A few fights for your consideration mist-syndicate Naga vs skystrike officer which aggressively slanted 3 drop excites you most? No real ninja archetype, but still a decent amount of evasive creatures. Leaning towards the Officer, but the snowball potential of the ninja is a cool dream to...

For me there are two factors to take into account: 1. How often do you draft? If you draft often, then even if the combo brings about some non-games it's not a big deal, better luck next time. 2. Do you run some redundancy (Enlightened Tutor, Whitemane Lion)? If you do not, the combo won't...

I've been looking at ways to spice up the cube and I think that a solid option would be Jeskai Ascendancy Even though it's narrow by virtue of being a three color card, it triggers off of noncreature spells making it versatile. In Jeskai colors, the most obvious way to go off would be with...

Before the main topics, another Imotekh draft: Ones 1 Walking Ballista 1 Pyrite Spellbomb 1 Chromatic Star 1 Goblin Welder 1 Dragon's Rage Channeler 1 Grim Lavamancer 1 Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer 2 Faithless Looting 1 Executioner's Capsule 1 Reanimate 1 Deathrite Shaman Twos 1 Myr Retriever 1...

For my 1vs 1 cube, on first pass Includes Simian Simulacrum Phyrexian Dragon Engine Phyrexian Fleshgorger Third Path Iconoclast I've found that Green lacks some good GY payoffs, and the monkey does a good job at it, in addition to counters and artifact synergies. It lacks trample to be really...

Awaken the Woods XGG Sorcery Create X 1/1 green Forest Dryad land creature tokens. I am weirdly attracted to this card. I already like mana sinks in Green to play with Earthcraft and friends, and this is both an enabler and payoff. Then you have the random landfall triggers this can provide...

If it helps, check out the reactions to the post. You have a Brushwaag, a Ragavan and a thumbs up. I have no clue what the first two mean but I've noticed that their presence indicates the post trends towards a joke or at least something more or less serious. The way it was phrased is also a...

Cheap Black self-mill options (this would be Stitcher's Supplier #2). Stitcher's Supplier Mire Triton Undead Butler Supplier is the cheapest, mills the most, but also has the least value. It's also breaking singleton, but I am not too worried about that. Triton is the best at stabilizing the...

This has been my experience as well. The win cons aren’t necessarily the difficult parts to get (especially the Nexus which isn’t as obvious), it’s the surrounding pieces. So the reasons to increase to 3 would be as you’ve mentioned 1. To counteract the draft pool randomness 2. To have a more...

Do you ever count Nexus of Fate as a Lab man variant? Because once you've reached 7 mana and have milled yourself, it's basically the same thing. I know you already run it, which is why I am asking if a third piece is necessary.

I'm unhappy with Pitiless Plunderer. In practice, it doesn't really fit into any decks. It's too slow for the low to the ground sacrifice decks and there is not enough fodder for the slower decks. The times it did work, were sweet, but for a 4 drop, it's too narrow. Following Safra's post, I...

With the release of the Warhammer 40k set, artifact decks received a few new options in Black (Triarch Praetorian and Royal Warden mainly). It’s given even more tools for Emry, Lurker of thr Loch, Goblin Engineer and Lurrus of the Dream-Den. I'd like to bolster my grindy artifact decks a bit...

Seeing you spell it out certainly helps understand where you are coming from and highlights the difference between our Black sections. I haven't been able to get a sufficient density of recursive creatures that I like for this cube. There are the odd ones that I run like Bloodghast and Scrapheap...

Forgot about that one! I'm sure I could pull it off with minimal groan as my players won't know the base stats :p Snowballing threats I'm always on the lookout for threats that can snowball as it's a surefire way to help the game progress and gives a shot to the aggro player if the card in...

In my higher powered cubes, I don’t run many (except for Embercleave and Ephemerate), which led me to this: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/modified I’ve tried making a whole cube where combat tricks are supposed to shine.

Not sure I agree with this. One of the main reasons I run a bauble-style package is to give some draw-smoothing to colors that don't have access to it or have access in limited quantities. Then you also run them for random delirium and delve support even in colors with plenty of cantrips. The...

I was going to make a post in my cube blog, but I also think that Skorpekh Lord Has merit alongside the other Necron artifact cards. Giving power and evasion to your artifact team is huge, and being able to rebuy it once plays well with the whole grindy package. In addition to your list you...
