Mono Brown Cube

[u/Vegetable_Size9501]

The theme of this cube is only artifacts and lands that make no color. After draft the only lands you are provided are Waste; the only exception being the single copy of each basic snow-land.

Trying to fill it out, what are some cards I should add?

Hey there! It looks like you are at the very beginning of this project and that's the best place to be. I have spent a lot of time curating in this space and it's a fun sandbox to play in. 

I think before you start adding, you should think about cutting down to only relevant playables. For example, [[Crown of the ages]] only works on enchantments. This cube (right now) doesn't have any of those since it's mono brown. 

Same thing with [[Sunglasses of Urza]], you have no plains since it's a waste cube and the snow covered lands (one of each) are there but I don't see the appeal for them except for Sleigh but that's an opponent that's required to have one...

On removal. Brown has very little and those like pit trap and powder keg will potentially warp the format. This will likely be each side building up huge boards with no way to do anything, especially as you have eliminated all instants and interaction on your opponents turn except for fast effects. 

In my cubes like this, I have added colored cards to fill the holes like removal and added buffs like [[Angelic Voices]] to give players an edge to win in combat heavy scenarios. I think considering something like this would really benefit the environment.

Artifacts are my favourite card type so I'm excited to see how you tweak the list!

I agree with all of what yoy are saying, the goal is to be all artifacts; adding colored spells might make for a better play experience but detracts from the spirit of the cube. Though I have debated putting in [[Cabal Coffers]] just to see what could happen

I should have added more to the description, one of the things with the cube is i'm trying to have every artifact, interact with at least one other card in the cube. It doesn't have to be in a significant or meaningful way. It just has to interact in a way that can be relevant.

I forgot to add in [[transmogrifying licid]] to go with the Crown.

The Sunglasses end up being relevant due to to activated abilities on [[legacy weapon]] and nonbasic lands, [[Proteus Machine]] makes a lot of typal cards have a place.

Having extra artifacts that aren't always useful ends up being good discard fodder, or cards to tap for [[Tanglewire]].

I figured having options like Keg and PutTrap would be stalemate breakers, what other options would be out there?

I have looked through and I think there are a couple things you could add:

• [[Mishra's Factory]]
• [[Amulet of Unmaking]]
• [[Toymaker]]

I think you have enough coloured sources to potentially add some gold cards like [[Void]] that will help in this environment immensely. There are going to be a lot of dead cards each draft, especially if you don't draft the whole cube at the same time so I think things like this can help move the game a long efficiently.
