Just wanted to chime in and say thanks to the OP for this article/thread. I built a powered Cube a couple of years back but my group consistently drafts midrange decks. To break them out of their shells and get them drafting in different directions I plan to give them cards with details from this article on them. That way, they can try and draft a particular archetype if the cards are there. This article was the catalyst for this idea, so thanks go to the OP!
Why not any love for aristocrats? It seems like a draftable archtype!

I am trying to get better at making decks. I have had trouble creating more competitive decks as I only really build with the cards I have. I dont have that many value cards, in function or expense. I (almost) never play at FNM type events so its not like im playing against $2k decks. If I do usally play at one, Its a draft or limited game. Any advice on building decks is greatly supported! DMs are appreciated.
Thank you!
To put it more simply, it's like saying, "I can prove Jesus is real and loves you. See? Here's my Hispanic friend Jesus. He's had a crush on you for a long time. Tell em' Jesus."
Here's a joke! Whats the internal temperature of a Taun-Taun?
Kalonian hydra is a 2 turn clock on it's own at only five mana, so having it in a cube because of the counters synergy is unecessary because it overshadows the rest of the deck. AWESOME article though, taking the time is incredible
I'm curious about others' experience with blink. It's obviously super-fun to bounce creatures back and forth. But it seems to me that it's a parasitic archetype that relies on some other strategy to actually win.
edit: I realize now that a lot of these archetypes could be considered parasitic. Therefore, I think there are some flaws in this approach of identifying archetypes. Nonetheless, I applaud the decision to try to systematize MTG mechanics and synergies.
Thank you!
Other than that, this is amazing
Thank you so much
