priest of forgotten gods? I like it because it’s cheap, free sacrifice and needs some build around, but the payoff is nice! It rewards you differently than most aristocrat cards which helps diversify play patterns.

I've been looking at the cube and being less shy about breaking singleton, I'd like to try: Stonecoil Serpent -> Walking Ballista Ballista is a mana sink in hand and on board, avoids random "protection of" and is additional removal for colors that need it the most (Blue and Green). The nice...

Random thoughts, take what you like, ignore the rest: Love your SNC swaps, huge addition to the cube IMO. I like the spells matter cards coming back in as they are only 3 slots for a whole new take on tokens. Mentor and Saheeli are also open-ended meaning you can mix and match themes pretty...

I guess I am looking for a more open-ended artifact payoff in the vein of Urza's Saga and Nettlecyst. One that could fit equally well in the Green and Rakdos decks I posted above. How far above the power band would this be? Tolarian Academy I have Tangle Wire as a tempo play more than a stax...

I am trying some more cuts. I'd like to get down to the 400 range. I might be supporting too many archetypes to get there though. The first round of cuts were rather effortless, but these hurt more. One area to improve upon is UB discard. I've put Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer in, but it has been...

So I was immediately able to draft this pile: Ones 1 Grim Lavamancer 1 Sensei's Divining Top 1 Aether Spellbomb 1 Currency Converter 1 The Underworld Cookbook 1 Experimental Synthesizer 1 Consider 1 Fastbond Twos 1 Containment Construct 1 Jace, Vryn's Prodigy 1 Thassa's Oracle 1 Underworld...

A few comments that help make synergy cubes a success IMO: 1. Have the synergy pieces be the most powerful cards if possible. If you can entice your drafters to pick your build arounds because they stand out of a pack that is perfect. This might mean omitting a few favourites that are too...

I like returning to a cube project after a break as it helps take a step back. One thing that immediately stuck out to me was the inclusion of too many specific archetype plants. I want my themes to meld and overlap, but if I give an archetype too many tools, the need to branch out fades. So I...

I’ve been getting some BRx decks with a lot of overlapping themes jammed together (which is exactly what I want), but sadly the decks are rarely about artifacts if it is not reanimator (thanks to Welder/Daretti). So I'd like to remedy that by introducing these: Out -> In Mire Triton ->...

This a really cool concept and I love to see the alters. Some comments/questions: 1. I was looking at Level 2 and 3 and only saw lands. I imagine you are updating this as time allows? 2. Speaking of lands, I saw Urza's Saga and Ancient Tomb on level 3. From my experience in my own cube, They...

This is the exact reason I've created this thread. Solitude is a card I am dying to include, but that then opens the floodgate of free spells. However, I like the criteria kModz and blacksmithy suggest: This is an interesting axis to play along and one I think I will enjoy. Thanks for the...

For that goal, the Freevokers make a lot of sense since they will be less impactful in the proactive decks against control, making it more likely that it ends up in the wanted deck. But with FoW, there is the fear that said proactive decks just use them to further plant control. Unless your...

I currently don't include free spells in my cube and was hoping to hear your thoughts on them. For this post, what I mean by free spell is an interactive instant or flash card that can be cast for 0 mana. I'm thinking of these: Free counter spells Force of Will Force of Negation Pact of...

I'm currently on the fence about some MDFCs. I think their effects would be a boon to my cube, but the complexity cost is higher than a normal card. Halvar, God of Battle Birgi, God of Storytelling Kazandu Mammoth Halvar is a rare equipment payoff that appeals to me. With the added Kamigawa...

I would definitely try to add Big Score and Unexpected Windfall if you are supporting that deck. Ramp + draw to find and cast the Bombardment seems excellent. Plus the discard and artifacts play well into many Red archetypes anyways. In the list you posted, Rielle, the Everwise seems like a...

The Pick played really well for me in Kaldheim limited. It often allowed a creature to swing in thanks to the extra stats and would allow you to double spell early. I expect similar play patterns in cube in addition to the synergies Velrun mentioned.

I know this isn’t what you are asking, but just in case you missed it, lethal scheme Fits your themes so well I had to mention it! As to your question i like Path the least, because of sorcery speed and the fact you are unlikely to cast the alternate mode. At least the 4 mana from Return is...

Damn it! I always hesitate and always get it wrong. Next time, I’ll do the opposite of what my instinct is telling me

After a little break from the cube, I am coming back with a fresh pair of eyes and some sweet SNC and SNC Commander cards. Blue aggressive decks IN -> OUT Ledger Shredder -> Baral, Chief of Compliance Mist-Syndicate Naga -> Thassa, God of the Sea Wandering Fumarole -> Silverbluff Bridge I've...

Including Seize the Spotlight I've long been looking for a Threaten effect that wasn't too narrow or expensive to cast. In my MP cube, this one seems amazing. I get to push attacks with opponents' creatures and open sacrifice synergies or I get my mana back and cards in the process! I get...
