    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I've played with Cavalier of Dawn and I liked it. Most of the time it doesn't have a clear cut best use which is a plus in my books. It also has so many synergies, some of which are GY related. In white! Cycling some enchantments? Sacrificing artifacts or creatures? Going wide with tokens...

    General Show me your discard and graveyard synergies

    I generally play 3 player games which are a weird hybrid of duels and true multiplayer games. This means that fast decks (probably a better name than aggro) can win. However, those decks aren't using 1 mana 2/1's, but rather cards like Impact Tremors that hit the whole table or Goblin...

    General Show me your discard and graveyard synergies

    In a bid to widen the possibilities of GY decks in my cube (and get white in on the action), I went ahead and made a GY aggro theme. These are supported by more traditional aggro cards and therefore they should be playable in a regular aggro deck, but get enough of them and the theme really...

    Card/Deck Topdeck Matters: The Heart of the Cards

    I keep plugging this card everywhere, but it really is great: Bolas's Citadel It might not be in the right colors for this theme though. In the same vein: Experimental Frenzy

    General How to execute a minimalist Artifact theme

    Perilous Myr is great against aggro in my experience, not so much in aggro. The Spellbombs are good since they enable the artifact deck for “free” and are decent cantrips if dead. Nihil Spellbomb is good too, but I find it too punishing against GY decks. Black wants to sacrifice things, so it’s...

    General How to execute a minimalist Artifact theme

    Maybe I have unrealistic expectations towards Sai, but he always disappointed me. The amount of actual artifacts you need to trigger him a few times is quite high. High enough, that I don't feel that he fits into a minimalist theme. A full blown theme for sure, but even then, the "cast artifact"...

    General Life Gain as a Thing

    Where is Bolas's Citadel in this thread?! Life gain payoff, sacrifice enabler and random artifact. It's really fun too.

    I’ve liked playing Verdurous Gearhulk alongside The Great Henge. They give you just enough Daretti/Welder targets to make a RG midrange/GY/counters a subtheme. Add Gilded Goose instead of an elf to help. The great thing is, they are all solid on their own. Tireless Tracker fits there too. The 2...

    I actually think this is too slow. 3 mana for a 1/1 is rough. I would probably play Rhys the Redeemed before this guy as a token payoff that can also go into more decks. Sure, you lose the artifact synergies, but I think the hybrid mana makes up for it.

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    I am trying to cut on generic value Planeswalkers and I am looking to replace Tezzeret, Artifice Master I really like the guy, but the +1 protection gets old on walkers. I do miss the fact that he fit well in the artifact deck and was generally good elsewhere. I was thinking of the Mirari...

    Card/Deck Wx Cycling

    I really enjoyed drafting Alfonzo Bonzo's 2.1 version of the Alchemist's Crucible. There is a heavy cycling theme there from which you can get inspiration https://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/108492 From your list ravnic, I agree with inscho that Fox, Healer, and Cairn seem a bit off. I'd add...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Biogenic Ooze is really good. I play it in my multiplayer cube and there it is a must answer or it risks taking over the game. However, the speed at which it wins is reasonable and even if you make a token before they answer the game isn't over. Leave it unchecked for too long though, that's on...

    General Companions, Yay or nay?

    I plan on playing the companions without the companion text. The cards themselves are good, but what I like the most are the hybrid mana costs. They allow you do diversify your decks by a great amount and keep the cube fresh. I tried to draft some decks with the companions as companions and...

    Highball: Legacy of the Rails

    I’m feeling the same way Trainmaster, where it feels like I am stuck between 2 schools of thought to whom I both wnt to adhere. I realized this came from reading all the posts on the cube subreddit as well as Usman’s set reviews and Solely Singleton podcast. I want to play all the “good” cards...

    General Small archetype packages

    The two other discard matter cards that I can think of (excluding Archfiend of Ifnir for power level reasons) Bone MiserSurly Badgersaur The Miser is stronger than the badger, but given enough overlap in your red section, I can see the badger making it in. I do think Buccaneer is better than...

    Alchemist's Crucible

    I never noticed my user name is different here (Minox on CC). I really liked your previous version of the cube and this one is rock solid as well. There are so many possibilities during each draft and each card fits into multiple decks. I can randomly pick any card first pack and build around...

    General Exes Archetype

    Another card that works well with X spells is Pyromancer's Goggles It provides a bit of ramp, but more importantly it can double your red spells if you want to double up with a spells matter theme in that color. Finale of PromiseTempt with VengeanceAvacyn's Judgment Give you X spells...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Thanks for the suggestions. Gurzigost is a really cool card I didn't know about, but doesn't quite get there for my cube. It's missing a keyword or 2. I have run Genesis in the past, when my cube was a little slower. It was always a decent engine. But now with a higher speed, I find that...
