Life From the Loam. It was the only card that made us maindeck Intuition/Gifts, for the most part.
What lands do you combine Life from the Loam and these cards with? Maybe we just haven't played it out, or we play differently or something, but just having Life from the Loam and Gifts Ungiven or Intuition doesn't seem like I'm ready to win the game (now or later).
NewbornMuse, do you think Deep Analysis is playable in a 450 cube?
There is a thread for Gifts Ungiven, but not one for Intuition. Nevertheless, I'd like to talk about cards that are good with these two spells rather than the cards themselves.
Intuition and Gifts Ungiven are both powerful spells. The "worst case scenario" is that you tutor for the card(s) you need. Possible alternate scenarios (or upsides) are finding graveyard-based synergies. I like both cards because, like Fact or Fiction (or Jace, Architect of Thought), your opponent has to decide what's best (and worst) for you without generally having knowledge of your hand. Gifts and Intuition are skill-intensive cards all around, and should influence the way you're drafting if you are intending to play them in your deck.
I know that Unburial Rites is a common target for Gifts, along with usually a powerful, mana-intensive creature (or two) and a means to discard cards. I imagine you could try to do something similar to this with Intuition, but your opponent chooses what goes to your hand with it. Flashback spells are powerful, and Lingering Souls and Faithless Looting are pretty generally agreed upon as cubeworthy. Other graveyard interactions like Genesis are obviously nice things to search for, as well.
In this thread, I'd like to highlight cards that are especially powerful, backbreaking, and/or synergistic to search out with Gifts Ungiven or Intuition. I want to include both cards, but I'm wondering if I need to jump through a lot of hoops to make the cards more than good.
What are good lands to fetch? Are we talking about a UG deck that plays Life from the Loam, Gifts Ungiven, Intuition, and Wasteland and Strip Mine?
I don't really see anything else other than fetchlands in your cube.

Both are very much under construction. Please stop by and talk about it!
