    General Spells Matter: Astonished With a Freedom

    I think white works well with artifact tokens. You have decent payoffs and lots of enablers. Have you tried these guys (in addition to Angel of Invention and Blade Splicer) Shrine of Loyal LegionsSram's ExpertiseServo ExhibitionSpear of Heliod Shrine only rewards you for casting white...

    General Fight Club

    I'm really not a fan of high equip costs in general, as they are just too hard to use in a reasonable time frame if you want to play on curve or they restrict your ability to double spell later in the game. Which is why I vastly prefer the blade over the warhammer. It is a powerful card, but I...

    General Fight Club

    Wildfire Devils vs Goblin Dark-Dwellers I want a spell related card that works with the GY. I am currently running Chandra, Acolyte of Flame and would like a second effect to support it and blue Snapcaster variants. The Goblin seems a lot safer, but the floor is also lower. I've heard a good...

    The BEST Jumpstart Cube

    Any thoughts to including Integrity // Intervention Instead of Warleader's Helix? Seems like a good opportunity to sneak in a combat trick!

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    The Lighthouse is decent, but I wouldn't compare it to an actual fixing land. If you want to help control, then go with Izzet Boilerworks or something. When comparing Lighthouse to an actual Izzet card, I think it falls short most of the time. You will always play it, but it doesn't really...

    General Optimizing my mana base

    There have been a lot of good lands coming out these past sets and I haven't really revisited my lands in a while. I am currently using: Fetch, Dual, Shock, Manland/Horizon land + 5 Prismatic Vista (10.7% of the cube). This has been playing well, but it's not super exciting and I would...

    General Show me your Simic decks

    Here are a few: Not all the cards in these lists are still there, but generally good interactive spells in blue, ramp and creatures in green are a successful recipe. In this color combination, you have to include some removal spells, which is why I like the fight creatures in green and...

    I don't have any qualms about green draw, I actually would enjoy it if every color had their own flavor of drawing cards. Totally forgot about the basic land fetches, they seem great. Swapping Edric for Frostwalla is actually a sweet solution since it acts as a second Frostfang and it's...

    Squirrel Nest is actually in there, but I had a typo in the name :P (thought it was Squirrel's Nest). Rancor is just a great aggro card to push damage through. I like it.

    This green draw discussion around Jolrael, has me thinking. She rewards drawing and going wide. So then I went looking at Ohran Frostfang who also draws and rewards going wide. So this brings me to this deck, for which I need help. The basis is going wide and get payed off with Jolrael and...

    For the Izzet draw deck, I'd love to see something like Chemister's Insight You can draw 2 on opponent's turn and you can do so twice.

    I've played a bunch of the Jumpstart on Arena and I've really enjoyed it. However I've noticed a few things: With 8 lands in each "booster" you only get 16 lands in your deck. Which means that you have to be careful about including too many 5+ cards as they tend to get stranded in hand or cast...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I've found the Lancers to be decent. It's rare for white to gain card advantage and this guy delivers. It's better than drawing a card since you tutor and the stats are actually decent. Plus he has the right types for some tribal decks. Sagas, Planeswalkers, random legendary creatures or...

    Velrun, you make a great point about the artifact theme. I got lost in the combo and lost sight of what I wanted to do! If I were to try to salvage that particular one, I would add Scrapyard Recombiner and Steel Overseer for Ranger-Captain of Eos and Mikaeus, the Lunarch. Both care about...

    Here is an attempt at the white artifact themed deck. This one was a pain to construct and I firmly believe this isn't even close to the best version, but I wanted feedback because I am stuck. I just wanted to put the Heliod combo in there and then work with counters and artifacts. I...

    100% on board for Hoarder and Puzzleknot. I'm not sure about cutting the Map though. It has played out very well in the past for me, acting as a draw smoother that eventually becomes a ramp card or a card advantage engine. Plus the treasures work well with the Marionette Master. I like the...

    100% with you on the die triggers. I was avoiding playing ubiquitous colorless cards (I added a Solemn Simulacrum edit before your post that applies to the other colorless cards) but perhaps that's just wrong. If so, then ditch Dire Fleet Hoarder for Perilous Myr and maybe Weaponcraft...

    I really like artifacts, so I'll be trying to brew a few different ones around them. The tricky part is not flooding the deck with artifacts as that would be too powerful and less interesting when mixing decks. First up, mono black artifact control. Treasure Map and Phyrexian Scriptures...

    I could see replacing Pyro with a Flamewake Phoenix. It could be recurred, but later in the game when you bring back one of the 2 drops from the grave or the Reckless Charge. However, that would mean keeping Key around as a discard outlet and mana sink or finding some other way to dump cards...

    I'm really liking these as a way to keep people occupied should their match finish earlier or just for some quick kicks. Is this too narrow? I was thinking that maybe one of the 3 drop phoenix's would be a good fit. I also like Risk Factor, but that might not mesh well with other decks.
