What are your thoughts on Rielle, the Everwise as another piece to the deck? I like the intersection between spells and discard, but maybe it's too narrow as a multicolored card?

Thanks for the suggestions folks! The power level of the individual cards definitely limit what can and cannot work in my cube. I wouldn't be opposed to the Smith, but as inscho mentions, I don't think I have the density to make it work consistently. I've been doing some more searching and I...

I'll echo your sentiment on the Antique Collector. I drafted it a bunch in your cube and was always impressed by possibilities it opened up as well as the value it procures with clues and keeping key creatures in live in your deck. Self-mill, sacrifice and artifact decks will all gladly play...

I've decided to try a few of the new equipment creatures because they are decent early and stay relevant later in the game, which is especially valuable in a MP game. I am especially happy with the Rabbit because haste is a very scary keyword in my environment and a cheap enabler that is wrath...

I am not 100% sure it's needed, as these have all been great support for artifacts in Green: Traverse the Ulvenwald Gilded Goose Tireless Tracker Tireless Provisioner Esika's Chariot However, like you, Golgari-Grave Troll has been a little too narrow, so I can add the Verdurous Gearhulk in...

Thanks for all the drafts Dom and the kind words. Thanks Erik and inscho too, your feedback is much appreciated! Lower mana value One thing I am considering is slashing the mana cost of the cube. With the release of the new Kamigawa set, I am finding myself overloaded with cheap cards I want...

I could see Smallpox or Diabolic Intent. I don't know how valuable a tutor is in your format when you have to spend 2 mana + a creature. It would work well with Living Death or Birthing Pod as those are nice build arounds that tend to be creature heavy. But won't work with other build arounds...

There is a sort of +1/+1 counter theme in my cube, with minimal support. It hinges around the aforementioned Basri's Lieutenant Rishkar, Peema Renegade I say sort of a theme as those are the two actual payoffs. What makes it interesting in my cube is the presence of artifact counters and human...

I’ve been looking for proactive White spells to support Leonin Lightscribe. With all these equipment creatures, I’m thinking Steelshaper’s Gift is starting to look real good!

So I've been combing through drafts of my cube and Erik's to find decks that use Crucible to prove you wrong and to my dismay, I've learned something. Turns out, you are both right. Not very many decks use it and those that do, are 95% (made up number) Green. I was under the (wrong) impression...

This is a nice little one. It does everything a slow GY deck wants. Gives you a roadblock, mills yourself and even recurs key pieces you may have milled. Great for mid powered cubes I would think!

I am usually with you on most topics, but not on this one. Crucible being colorless opens the door to more strategies being viable. Maybe you have a Red deck with Devastating Dreams + Wildfire. In that case, not being locked into a RG deck is a good thing IMO. I would tend to go towards all 3...

Thanks inscho for confirming my thoughts. Not sure why I am doubting myself so much with this new cube project! You hit an interesting point Erik Twice, are the Arcbound Ravager + Steel Overseer too narrow to be worth it? Ravager allows for some really fun play patterns as you say. It's a free...

You are both right. I am going way too deep into specific archetypes that don't need extra support. Just playing a few prowess creatures and my existing artifact creatures is enough to support the theme. I've also come to a few realizations: 1. The +1/+1 counters are more of a little subtheme...

I think my cube is built in a way that it actually works well. I doubled up on a lot of card draw that Green decks can use to trigger Jolrael: Explore Manamorphose Gitaxian Probe Mishra's Bauble Chromatic Star That's excluding cards from other colors. But if she doesn't work for you, easy cut...

Yup! I had all of these in the first draft, then cut some to make room for other packages. My problem right now is that I am all over the place. I am experimenting with all of these Humans aggro (W, B, r, g) Prowess aggro (W, R, b, u) Artifact aggro (W, R, U, b) Discard/GY aggro (B, R, G)...

The fact that a single card unlocks so many potentially unique interactions is something really cool in my eyes and the deck you posted is a great example. I like the cuts you are making, but not the Woodfall Primus one. I don't think the deck with the Prodigy will be the same deck playing the...

Thanks for the feedback. Dream Halls is a great one I forgot about and will revisit once I get a few reps in with LED. I was seeing Smoldering Egg as a plant for the control spells decks I was talking about. It might be too narrow though, especially since I already have Magmatic Channeler...

On Storm Mana For this cube, the biggest challenge with Storm decks is going to be mana production. Right now the three biggest ways to net mana involve Fastbond, Dark Ritual and Urza, Lord High Artificer. There are some free spells which definitely help, but don't generate mana (Baral...

100% love the Saga and Trawler. They add a lot to the archetype and help justify running all of the Baubles and such. More cantripping cheap artifacts really help the artifact deck tick and they can play well as draw smoothers in other colors too Urza's Bauble Chromatic Star Chromatic Sphere...
