I have trouble with Boros as well because I find that the mono-colored versions of the gold cards are almost as good or interesting. Honored Crop-Captain > Accorder Paladin Swiftblade Vindicator -> Adorned Pouncer Any 3 drop -> Legion Warboss, Phoenix of Ash, Silverblade Paladin or whatever...

I decided to do a small update: (out -> in) Talisman of Conviction -> Mind Stone Panharmonicon -> Dismember Mind Stone is back in for synergy reasons. It loses out on the fixing from the Talisman, but gains late game relevance. Tempted to run more Mind Stones, it really does tick a lot of...

The Nighthawk has me thinking about Embodiment of Agonies for self-mill payoff.

White has a few good four drops Basri's Lieutenant Luminous Broodmoth Broodmoth is easy mode, Lieutenant you have to work for it, but the payoff can be high with Mikaeus, the Lunarch.

I've been liking the Rangers! Decent in all sorts of white decks since the body is solid on both offense and defense and is even a form of card advantage engine for aggressive decks that play less lands than opponent. What I like best though is that it gives white a small "lands" package to pair...

I personally love Approach of the Second Sun Creates inevitability but still leaves room for opponent to respond (careful with tutors though). The 7 life goes a long way to keeping you alive and it's a fun puzzle on how to get it back quickly (self-mill, cycling, Remand).

So I drafted a pool with both Lurrus and Emry and was able to build 2 decks from there: UB Oracle combo: https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/602b41f6a78e7e4a2d52c6c8 UB Artifacts: https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/602b3d6ca78e7e4a2d527ed5 The core of each deck is the same: Lurrus of the...

Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar Splendid reclamation World breaker

Even control decks have targets. The fact that GPG boosts the creature to a 4/4 is pretty impactful. Returning a Jace Vryn's Prodigy, Snapcaster Mage, Vendillion Clique, Seasoned Pyromancer, Flametongue Kavu, Pia and Kiran Nalaar and more every turn can close out a game fast. At least my...

If you like combos (in line with the persist combo post), you could try out this package Heliod, Sun-Crowned Walking Ballista Triskelion Triskelion is actually decent in the Welder/Daretti deck and gives some color pairs like UG some needed removal. It also fits with blink in white if...

+1/+1 Counters In addition to the payoffs, sprinkle in a few cards that get counters in those colors (Champion of the Parish, Mikaeus, the Lunarch, Nadir Kraken, Verdurous Gearhulk, Nissa, Voice of Zendikar,...). In line with Birthing Pod, I like an ETB/search package in green. All cards...

All this vampire talk has me thinking: Turn 1 -> Kytheon, Hero of Akros Turn 2 -> Elvish Visionary Turn 3 -> Goblin Rabblemaster Turn 4 -> Hellrider Turn 5 -> Sun Titan or Mulldrifter Turn 6 -> Noxious Gearhulk Legion's Landing Dusk Legion Zealot Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle Sanctum Seeker...

Good stuff, thanks. Weirdly enough, I have an Azorius flash deck that basically built itself, because the white options are inherently powerful (Cast Out, Settle the Wreckage, Restoration Angel, Archangel Avacyn, Secure the Wastes + removal + blue goodness). But nothing with green. That...

Garruk, Unleashed Nightpack Ambusher I'm convinced I need Garruk Unleashed in my cube as a way to push through damage. I am unsure about the cut though. I have Ambusher as a sweet card that can synergize with a few werewolves and some flash stuff, but that isn't really supported, it's just a...

Bloodline KeeperChampion of DuskKrenko, Mob Boss Haven't seen these mentioned before, but they fit the bill. Keeper is a bit boring and making 2/2 flyers is usually enough to win before it flips. Champion is actually alright. 4/4 that draws a card at minimum can be a good baseline at lower...

Looks like I support artifact aggro again!

Thanks for the detailed follow up. Deck looks solid. Yavimaya Elder is amazing at fueling the lands part of the deck as well as enabling Jolrael, love it. What I am noticing though is that your UG decks look like green decks splashing blue rather than a mix of both colors. This may be because...

I guess she is pretty dependent on your late game engines. If you are going with Life from the Loam, Meloku the Clouded-Mirror, Trade Routes, Seasons Past and the like, you should be good. If not, is she still good with only her first ability? Depends on her support!

Have you considered Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse It seems it would fit nicely in your UG decks if you run cards like Explore, Growth Spiral, Llanowar Visionary and random cycling lands. It could also do work if you play red looting effects and seems like a fun build around. Potentially powerful...

So after reading this great post by japahn, I decided to evaluate some of my payoffs and see if they were traps. Emry, Lurker of the Loch Nope. Emry definitely needs the right support to be worth it. This is true in part for Emry. The other artifact payoffs in blue care about flooding the...
