Almost done with my cube updates, but I'm a bit stuck on this one. My cube is Max Power level, or close to it, with both [[Time Vault]] combo and [[Dark Depths]] combo included. (Yes, Dark Depths is not quite on the same tier, but it's sticking for now). I currently have Mirage Mirror in the cube, but I am considering swapping it for Shifting Woodland, since both of these cards combo with both Vault and Depths.

Other relevant combo pieces include [[Thespian's Stage]], [[Tezzeret, Cruel Captain]], and [[Manifold Key]]. I don't really have a delirium theme in the cube, but most of the good graveyard enablers that are common are present, similar to most cubes at this power level.

Potentially irrelevant note: Woodland would be my 4th green utility land, behind [[Gaea's Cradle]], [[Boseiju, Who Endures]], and the new [[Ba Sing Se]], which is there for [[Strip Mine]] shenanigans.

Which combo piece would you include, Shifting Woodland or Mirage Mirror?

I'm working on updating my 540 Vintage cube (max power with time vault, initiative, and friends), and I was in the process of swapping out the 5 allied signets for talismans. I was wondering what people thought about which set of 5 talismans to run: allied or enemy? There's also the option of picking and choosing 4-7 of them based on which color pairs are likely to want them, but having the colors be balanced is nice.

Other 2-drop rocks in the cube are [[Grim Monolith]], [[Mind Stone]], and [[Pentad Prism]].

Which talismans do you run and why?

Bonus question: Do you think stax with cards like [[Braids, Cabal Minion]], [[Smokestack]], [[Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia]], [[Lingering Souls]], [[Mayhem Devil]], [[Ceasar, Legion's Emperor]], [[Tangle Wire]], and [[Winter Orb]] is viable as an Orzhov/Mardu archetype at this power level?
