I'm tinkering pretty hard with my cube for some graveyard shenanigans. I think it's looking pretty good, but I'm worrying about milling yourself out. Some decks can churn through the library pretty hard and I'm wondering if something should be done to avoid this or if it should be an inherent...

The multiplayer setting is why I am trying a few pushed planeswalkers (more opponents usually means easier to deal with), but if we are at about the same power level and he is good for you, I am really excited. I've been eyeing the guy since his release and thought I had irrational love for the...

There is also Syr Konrad, the Grim who is solid and has bonus synergy if you run some mill/self-mill. I really want to run him, but I think my power level is too high. He doesn't gain life though, so that is probably a bummer for you ravnic :(

Include Luminous Broodmoth: In my environment, resilient threats are at a premium. It's good with or against a wrath and allows to double dip on sacrifice effects (like Anax, Hardened in the Forge and Nightmare Shepherd). The worst case scenario is a 3/4 flier for 4 which is fine(ish). Verge...

I'm loving all these hybrids. The cat seems great at supporting small white GY decks. Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle, Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants, Sevinne's Reclamation. Goes well in a deck with Emry, Lurker of the Loch or Goblin Engineer returning Chromatic Star, Mishra's Bauble and Hangarback...

In regards to the Baloths vs Avenger, the downside of both of these is that they are powerful enough outside of the landfall deck to get snagged by other random decks. So you aren't really able to target the deck that you want. The Woodcrasher is probably a safer bet to reach your goal. I...

If I were to powermax: Gales Flame Night=Dawn=Thorn Hijack! I'm glad you brought this up, because I am really hesitating with the green one. I want to support GY shenanigans and currently run Golgari Grave-Troll. I am thinking this guy could take it's spot as a more versatile enabler...

One of the best non-official ninja's Changeling Outcast He get's through, he is cheap to recast and he can trigger your Dimir ninjas. Also wears equipment like a champ and can randomly enable zombie or human synergies you might have. Also, not a ninja, but fits the saboteur theme...

I love building a Cataclysm deck with stuff like: ReveillarkHallowed SpiritkeeperAnax, Hardened in the ForgeGreater GargadonGoblin WelderWorld ShaperBrindle ShoatTitania, Protector of ArgothBitterblossomMarionette MasterNightmare ShepherdHerald of TormentNighthowlerSaffi EriksdotterVoice of...

Maybe you could look at multiplayer or EDH cubes. They generally don't have many walkers and play more long term engines. The environments are usually slow. Not all cards or starts will be useful, but maybe it can give some ideas!

I'd like some input on Kozilek's PredatorEldrazi Skyspawner I'm trying to add a bunch of cards that fit multiple archetypes and Nest Invader is great at that. It's blinkable, it ramps, it tokens and it sacs. I was looking at other options and the Predator and Skyspawner don't seem half...

This is a great point that is easy to lose sight of. I also think this applies to your multicolored sections and removal/bounce/draw that could be played in a mono-colored section. I know this is an old debate, but the wording from TrainmasterGT makes it easily understandable. Sure Lightning...

I wanted to share my experiences with a card I tried recently that has been awesome: Bolas's Citadel Yes it's expensive, yes it mana intensive, but wow is it fun and synergistic! The reason I wanted to add this was to include black into my Izzet artifact and spell decks. In my cube, Izzet...

Could it be a token GY theme? These are essentially flashback tokens. Pretty simple but they each have their specificity making it less boring than normal tokens. Maybe Lingering Souls and Dread Summons for an abzan splash. Grizzly FateCall of the HerdMouth // FeedElspeth, Sun's...

I agree that Mire Triton is great. It doesn't look like much but it does everything every black deck wants. I would still play Supplier for redundancy. Is it crazy to want to double up on Triton? Black is pretty short on good self-mill...The only downside is that I'm afraid of too much...

I don't run customs, but seeing that thread does make me hesitate, you guys come up with some sweet cards! The Sentry is really pushing it, I agree :P However as Onder pointed out the appeal of the Dryad is the 5 color fixing for this particular package. I wouldn't play it for just that part...

I was thinking about tying artifacts to green a bit more and thought about this little package Dryad of the Ilysian GroveChromatic Lantern Golos, Tireless PilgrimCrystalline CrawlerChamber Sentry Green already plays nice with +1/+1 counters so the Sentry and Crawler makes sense, getting...

For me that is the whole point though. The broad archetypes allow for such weird color combinations to work. Maybe not as full blown decks but as packages. As you said earlier, Wildfire goes great with artifact ramp. Add in a Crucible of Worlds and maybe Windfall (since you dump your hands with...

I agree with this, you have to go deep! RG: maybe you could have ramp tokens with Earthcraft, Grand Warlord Radha, Emrakul's Hatcher, Tempt With Vengeance, Awakening Zone, Nest Invader and Kozilek's Predator. Then you could have a Mirari's Wake and a March of the Multitudes in Selesyna to...

Wait, why isn’t Fire Imp the card you are looking for? It’s podable, good in control and blinkable! The next step IMO, is identifying what cards your colors need and thinking about how they interact with other colors or what the decks you are supporting are missing (for example my aristocrats...
