Hey! I've had a common/uncommon cube for a while and was wondering if there were any viable combos that I could add. I want to have one for each color, or at least as close to that as possible so that one color combination isn't just too dominating. Any ideas? All I can think of is thoptor foundry and sword of the meek. Thanks!
I really like the blue draw-discard effects for reanimator. They are good on their own, help reanimator dig for the right spells, and bin stuff in the yard.
The reanimator archetype is not present in my cube since I stick to modern card frames and there aren't enough good reanimation spells. I also find that peasant cube is very lacking in good bombs to reanimate - after Pelakka Wurm, Pathrazer of Ulamog, Artisan of Kozilek the best creatures are 5 or 6 drops which you might as well just cast (although I might be missing something).
In cube reanimator, especially pauper, is not a combo deck. It is a neat combo to aid you ramp quicker with fatties OR late game get your fatties back into the fray if they get removed. In fact, it is more often used to just get more creatures into the game than it is to get bigger dudes.
No one should look at combo as an archetype in pauper. Look at it as an edge for a deck within a deck. You need to have a solid limited deck, with the ability to use the combo to eek out the extra efficiency. I run very few targets (topping off at 8 mana) but I have things like Wild Mongrel, Lightning Axe, and some draw spells to pitch them. Those cards are good otherwise and can fit in to other decks that don't care about binning dudes.

The reanimator spell you want is Torrent of Souls. Insane beating.
Quillspike + Devoted Druid
I consider powerful synergies to be very combo like. Starting with the obvious:
Bounce Synergy Cards
ETB creature + Crystal Shard, Vedalken Mastermind, Momemtary Blink, Otherworldy Journey.
Token Synergy cards
Token makers (Sprout Swarm, Cenn's Enlistment and many more) + sac outlets (Skullclamp, Mortapod)
Token makers + mass pump effects (Overrun, Charge across the Araba, Rally the Peasants, Battlecry)
Other things I can think of;
Pingers + Deathtouch (Onyx Mage)
Reanimator Archetype
Isochron Scepter
Sac outlet + Act of Treason effects
Lorescale Coatl
Fangren Marauder
Hexproof Creatures wearing equipiment or enchantments.
When you spoke about reanimator archetype, whats the best way to get dudes on my yard? I got pretty much all the good reanimation spells already
FYI i also have a madness archetype in my cube as well...
I especially like:
There are some other cards that have some promise:
Other blue cards include Fact or Fiction and Compulsive Research.
