The standard version was Azorius but that was primarily the need of Refurbish. I would have to be some kind of sadist to find the average game of magic un-enjoyable given the amount I play! The reason I expect to return to builds of God-Pharaoh's Gift is because it is fairly uniquely un-tethered to colours in cube. It wasn't boring or anything it just wasn't notable on these fronts, it was an average to slightly above average amount of fun which is still a lot of fun. Not because it was really fun or really potent.

I do however anticipate returning to the archetype on multiple occasions. I don't think in general that God-Pharaoh's Gift decks are good in cube still, I think I was lucky on a couple of fronts to be winning with this list. Despite the issues my build was a success. Basically it is a lot of work and setup for something that is not entirely game winning or as broken as the things you can do in cube. Single copies of your key cards and relying on having a seven mana card in play, and for a period of time all seem to hamper the viability. It just felt like it wasn't going to translate all that well into cube. I never bothered to build this up while it was in standard despite it being one of the more distinct and popular decks.
