I know you recently(ish) upped your count to 720, but why do you still include Regrowth in your list? As a storm card it makes some amount of sense, but since you don't support storm, I'm wondering what archetypes it supports. It's a classic card and definitely sweet, but when looking at my 540 list, it just doesn't seem good enough.
I'm confused all around here. I do support storm, and Regrowth is a good card, in storm or elsewhere. So I'm not 100% sure how to answer that question. If you don't like it, cut it. Card's great though.
My apologies - you didn't support storm when it was 540 and for some reason I never noticed the storm piece additions. I believe back when it was 540 you still had regrowth - did you find it useful there? My current build borrows heavily from your older list. Without storm or combo (not counting stuff like SnT/welder/Tinker) I've always felt that regrowth is good with exactly Recall/Time Walk and not much else.
It gets better with storm, but the cube is loaded with great cost-efficient cards, and I've always found Regrowth to be a useful card. It gets back critical combo pieces, buys back broken cards, or can be used as a utility "tutor" for anything else you need from the 'yard. I like the card a lot, both in and out of storm decks.
I think the goblin count is way too low for that card. Humans matters barely functions as a deck, and like 25% of the creatures in the cube are humans.
Solemnity with Luminous Broodmoth are very good combo parts, except escape creatures, did you think of other creatures like fanatical firebrand? There are a lot of creature you could consider for that.

It is, but I don't want to play any cards that rely on that combo exclusively in order to be playable. Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger has felt pretty good even outside of the combo, but I think the sun has set on Mogg Fanatic and Fanatical Firebrand ...until we get more redundancy for that combo. Right now, we only have one Solemnity effect that works with Luminous Broodmoth or Mikaeus, the Unhallowed. I'd like to have at least 1-2 more counter-prevention effects (that work for triggers other than Persist counters) and one more Broodmoth/Mikaeus variant before I start exploring cards like the Fanatics.
In a powered list that also has build-around targets for it to find, Spellseeker's pretty good. I like it more than Spellskite in cubes where you don't need Spellskite to defend creature-based combos, and I like it more than Barrin in cubes that don't support tempo in all the potential color combinations.
Out of curiosity, have you tried running Thraben Inspector? It's become one of my favorite 1-drops in my cube. It's good in aggro because it replaces itself. It provides card draw in control, as well as flicker and artifact synergy. It's so flexible and provides so much value for 1 mana.
Yes, I've played it and cut it twice. As a playgroup, we were pretty disappointed with it overall. I liked it in the blink decks, but that was about it. It was not good enough for aggro, didn't fit well in control, and was a bit lackluster as a "goodstuff" card. I'm not opposed to trying it again in the future, but I think it's one of the most overrated cards I see in most cubes. It did a very mediocre job in a lot of roles. I love a flexible card just as much as the next guy, but it never felt good. It was basically just a 22nd or 23rd playable in whatever deck it was in, and wasn't ever taken out of a pack unless there were no other options to pick. Overall, it was a C- card for me.
Switch its power and toughness, and you'd have yourself a hell of a card. But the 1/2 body never felt like it was worth a card. So it never really played like the "card advantage" it was advertised as being ...unless I was blinking it for multiple clues. So I like it as a blink support card, but it's not a card I'd play in an aggro deck (unless it cared about artifacts) and was a dead control card in my non-aggro matchups.
Also waiting for the previews to be over and the MDFC cards to be available. REALLY looking forward to this update and getting to play with these cards. Also curious how they will tie MDFCs to the themes of Kaldheim and Strixhaven

Oh man, that sounds sweet.
I agree. Polymorph has been a strong deck so far.

How much do you like Spellseeker? I'm always looking for more tutors and ETB critters. Better than Spellskite or Barrin?
Cheers,
