Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero
Quote from Stardust »
Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

ExpiredRascals you sir are a god-like hero.

Huh. Again, nothing busted in here, which is a bit disappointing given the incredibly high top-level of power in this cube. Should we take the "fair" Sol Ring, Thran Dynamo, and try to stay on the artifact track?
I don't see a lot of other obvious picks. Hero of Oxid Ridge is a great card for aggro and midrange-aggro decks, and works well with Winter Orb. Necromancy is fine as a black value card, even if we don't go full necro...
Bland pack. I don't like taking reanimation so early, and necromancy isn't one of the best reanimation cards.
Hero is good, but needs a lot of creatures.
I like the thran dynamo. It goes well with lockdown ramp/control, which is usually a strong archetype, and it has stong synergy with the orb.
I hear you that WW can stall out. I mention the archetype because the creature distribution of the cube seems to favor white over the other aggro decks. A ton of high-quality, efficient creatures.
For what it's worth, if we wheel the hound, we're bound to wheel a WW from this pack too.
With our first pick winter orb I also think the choice is between Thran Dynamo and Hero of OR.
If we take the Hero I think we'd need to start really pushing red aggro. The dynamo helps open up the orb to no aggro decks. I normally don't really like mana accel that cost more than 3 but I think I'd still pick Thran Dynamo here
Yes, we all agree. Not a super-inspiring start, but things might look up. If we go aggro, Thran Dynamo won't see play. But there's not a whole lot else I see that's tempting.
Let's hope the next pack provides a bit more direction...
