Drafted this, looks cool; I worry a bit about Generous Gift as Stone Rain in a format like this
Thanks Brad. I'm hoping to add some copy effects or other spell interaction to make the rituals worth it. So far I just have Chandra's Guantlet and Past in Flames. I'd like to have a low-storm-count storm deck with Dragonstorm and Mind's Desire, where storming for 2-6 would be good.
I've made many updates to the list: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/princesofthemultiverse
I've tried to build upon the Rise of the Eldrazi idea of having one-shot mana bursts, based on the Eldrazi spawn. I've expanded that to include treasure tokens, mana rituals, and other, similar effects (like High Tide).
Here's how the archetypes/themes are shaking out:
White - best removal, tokens, legendary creatures
Blue - polymorph, counters/draw, storm support
Black - unsure now, kind of all over
Red - dragon tribal, dragonstorm, rituals/treasure
Green - ramp
Azorius - blink or polymorph
Dimir - ?
Rakdos - ?
Gruul - lots of possible decks
Selesnya - legendary creatures/planeswalkers
Orzhov - ?
Golgari - ?
Simic - ramp
Izzet - storm/spells
So I'm looking for more ideas for black. I could do reanimator, but I have another cube that is completely GY themed, so I've tried to not repeat myself. It kind of fits with the vibe here though. Still thinking on that, so open for arguments pro/con or other theme suggestions.
Also looking for help thinking about the two color pairs with ? in them. I'm happy with the others.

Black secretly has gotten quite a number of decent artifact payoffs over the years, if you want to do something other than reanimator.
Just to name a few.

That could be a cool way to go. Works with treasure/food/clue tokens.
