It is an interesting question though. The feeling of beating an active Jitte, of solving that puzzle, is pretty incredible. And it's super doable too, it's not like a freak occurrence or anything. Is that an experience we want to give to our players, and at what cost? I can see arguments in...

Yeah, these are the three I had in mind.

Jitte is still a very easy P1P1 pick over here, but it does lose games. I had a Jitte + Porcelain Legionnaire opener that seemed like it should auto-win, but Jitte can be slow mowing through a line of Ranger of Eos reinforcements. But really, like a PW, Jitte really provides you shit value...

This is an infinite combo right? Carrion Feeder Kitchen Finks Archangel of Thune

To be fair Quadcrawla lost that draft... mostly because I let my opponent completely re-do a turn in Game 3. And, sometimes Jitte is too slow for my cube. No value until you spend 4 mana and swing?

Yeah, but I specifically want non-tapped lands that don't fix. Scrying Grove is pretty neat though. Sunken Catacombs is a little wild.

Can somebody make Innistrad spell lands for the color pairs that have unplayable lands?

Scrivener was a giant turd. I don't think it ever drew a single card in the couple months I had it in my cube.

My cube has an anti red-aggro personality, so I have won an obscene number of drafts with RX aggro decks. They don't play them more, so my answer has been to make red decks more fun to play. Fixing and stuff like Slayers Stronghold go a long way.

I think multi-Brainstorm is the simplest and most elegant way to boost control without boosting midrange or hampering aggro. The card also has like, a bajillion interactions and makes games better. CML it's well possible your Utility Land Draft has too much fixing.

I particularly like how the Vigilance on the tokens isn't a static Brimaz ability. They need to be vigilant even (especially?) after their lord is dead.

Because 1/1 tokens need to have Vigilance. You know, for the new Brimaz Opposition archetype.

Seriously though, Vigilance + attacking trigger? Super difficult decision trees there.

The problem is that the lifegain deck is an attacking deck. This card is just... bleh.

Yeah, I would go with Doom Blade or something like that here. Cleansing Beam seems pretty unplayable.

Could they print a card with any less play to it?

Is the trigger worded correctly? Can't you pay the cost with Vandal Camp before it gets tapped?

Seems a bit pointless too. Give each of your creatures a restricted 50% version of the Primeval Titan trigger? Yay?

I don't think this is a very solid argument at all. Sure, there may be a best, but it might not be a "feel bad" best, or it might not be as much of an outlier in the power scale. I do think as cube designers we should discuss more whether a) we even really need artifacts strong enough to...
