Sorry if you've answered this somewhere else, but what was your experience with The Antiquities War like? How did it stack up against the other artifact support cards at 4+ cmc?
Corollary, how has Meteor Golem been? That card went completely unnoticed by me
Oh man, I forgot Steel Overseer was a card, now that we have Walking Ballista and Hangarback Walker, I'm a little tempted... I'm pretty hesitant to go in at 360 though. It makes re-adding Lore Seeker and crew feel better as well. The main reason they left my cube at all was because, other than Deal Broker, the cards themselves rarely got played.
Edit: I find the thought of potentially running Tempered Steel in cube endlessly amusing...
I'd be very curious to hear the reasoning and results of some these latest changes. Toolcraft Exemplar, Rishkar, Peema Renegade, Heart of Kiran, and Kari Zev's Expertise are all cards I've had my eye on for cube. However, my group doesn't get to play as much as we used to, so I try not to make changes too rapidly (before we've gotten a chance to see how the previous changes worked out). I find the Song of the Dryads and Fire Imp curious cards to cut, they've been as solid as ever for my group.
To reiterate, [apathy] had errated. Has with many older magic cards, apathys original text is no longer how the card plays. Instead, the Oracle text is used and can be found on the gatherer page or here the apathy entry on mtg salvation. The errated text says "at the beginning of the upkeep."
Apathy was been errated, you can find the oracle text for it here. With this change Apathy will only trigger once on each of the controlling player's turns -- at the beginning of the upkeep step.
I haven't played eternal dragon in cube in years, are people still playing it? It's a pretty sweet card so I'm open to trying it if it's holding up for other people.
I've always been happy with Kor Sanctifiers. Never cared for Silverblade Paladin.
Throwing in more support for both experiment one and wild nacatl or neither.
Negate has almost nearly been playable for me. I wouldn't run essence scatter/remove soul. I did actually try deprive once; it actually did better than I thought it would , but I still wouldn't recommend it.
1. Mirran Crusader > flickerwisp > Hallowed spiritkeeper
2. Kor skyfisher = porcelain Legionnaire > imposing sovereign
3. Sakura tribe-elder > Llanowar elves. But I never feel like I can have enough mana dorks.

Since it might come up, I don't specifically support spells-matter, he argued that the card was strong enough that that didn't matter.

Languish, hands down.
