Squandered Resources? Love that card, I would love to see if you can make it work in cube!

I'm pretty sure this has been proposed before, but it seems interesting. As you know, there are many cards in Magic that work with additional copies. Accumulated Knowledge is the best example, as are Kindle and Legion Conquistador Accumulated Knowledge Kindle Legion Conquistador Now, these...

Don't get me wrong, a Nektraatal with a 4/2 body is great but it's not an effect that comes across as overly strong in the typical cube. I just think the problem of Salvagers is that it takes a lot of work to get the value of a FTK or a Man o'War or any other ETB creature that does it job three...

In my experience with the card back in the day, Salvagers is very slow if you are not doing something busted with it. It costs 4 to use, 2 to recur a card and then whatever you need to play that artifact and use it. I mean: Turn4) Spend 4 mana to play Salvagers Turn 5) Spend 4 mana to recur...

I liked Gruul when playing in Arena, but I don't have too much experience with the colours (Playing a red splash in Tooth and Nail does not count!). That may be part of it. And it seems the me, it can work very well. There are good cards in the colours, you can ramp a bit, have a bit of removal...

I am very unhappy with the available options for Gruul. I like Bloodbraid Elf, because Cascade is fun when you are not chaining it. I like Stormbind, even though it doesn't seem to fit many decks. But I don't like anything else. There are some ok midrange creatures, some cards that seem...

I saw the possibility of drafting a UW blink deck but I found myself with too many enablers and not enough payoffs. I can gain some life but that won't make me win the game, only delay the inevitable. Fathom Seer seems somewhat slow, expensive and questioanble for the card advantage he provides...

Yes, you haha

I knew your name sounded familiar. Do you play OpenTTD too? I think I've seen your avatar on their forums before.

I keep wondering what's the minimal support for the archetype. Here's a very old Extended list for inspiration: https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=8928&d=250941&f=EX As you can see, there's very little fast mana in the list. In fact, like all Extended storm decks, it's not so much a storm deck as it...

I think the biggest problem with Dragonstorm is that you need a good bunch of Dragons to put into play with it. Storm is not great from a strict gameplay perspective. It has little board presence, it's hard to interact with and leads to racing. But what I find interesting about Magic is not the...

I just look and Teferi and think "Does this make the game more fun?" And I can't help but think the answer is "No".

Charging Monstrosaur is great. He's simple, versatile, fits a wide range of strategies and is fun. Not much synergy or cool combinations going for him, but he doesn't need them!

Ah Storm. The posterchild of parasitic archetypes. The deck that makes your cube worse and that leads to silly, uninteractive games and awful draft experiences. But some of us love it. To me, it's the most fun, interesting of all combo archetypes. It's a complex, non-deterministic puzzle that...

I did some more changes and now I'm very happy with the direction my cube is going. I would even say it's getting close to finished and I'm going to start proxying cards soon. Anyways, some interesting ideas and changes. NOTABLE REMOVED CARDS Tolarian AcademyGaea's CradleBazaar of...

Thanks for the suggestions. It's a bit surprising there isn't a "Exalted Angel withotu Morph" card around. I would run Dawnbringer, but having first strike makes her stupidly strong. I was mostly looking for a Lifelink flyer because I think BW control would benefit from it. It's an archetype I'm...

I want a replacement for Exalted Angel to avoid having Morph. - No First strike - Strenght 4 or lower - Simple design. I'm looking for something that comes across as being a bit classic.

Clocknapper looks amazing. It's a real shame to hear you have had problems with it because the moment I saw it I started thinking what kind of busted things you can do with it!

I've been doing a very large amount of changes and the cube is in a very rough state right now. In many ways, it could be considered a step back but sometimes you have to go back in order to progress through a better path. First of all, I've added some fatties because there weren't any...

Nice! Looking at your list I can see you play more artifact creatures than usual (27). That's probably a good part of it, specially when several of these artifact creatures seems generally useful for all drafters. This is a great way to put it.
