    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Have to agree. I’ve drafted some unique decks with this insect, but it’s a payoff for a subset of the artifact archetype. It comes together so rarely that it’s a dubious use of a guild slot. Kind of. I’ve drafted your cube a bunch of times where I see an early Replenish and try to draft around...

    Forgot about a maybe in Twilight Diviner Which is a cool gy payoff! From small recursive threats to reanimator, there are some high highs with the card and a very respectable floor.

    For my main cube, there is only one card that is a slam dunk Formidable Speaker As many have mentioned, this is a great tutor. If you have another discard outlet, you can get your Hogaak, Vengevine, Gravecrawler and friends. If not, there are still some high impact targets that can control the...

    [500] CCC - Casual Champions Cube

    How do you feel about these Fuss // Bother flotsam // Jetsam The main mode for each is likely the cheaper one and they are pretty good generic effects. Pond Prophet and Burning-Tree Emissary could be placeholders until something more exciting gets printed. Wear // Tear could be good for Boros...

    Nanonox's 1vs1 cube

    In this update, I am trying to increase the density of free cards that allow you to do the broken stuff. For me, broken = fun! Cutting Spiderman boosting the GY I'm off Spiderman cards. The aesthetic is too jarring for me and there are so many good options outside of the set that I don't need...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    It’s not plug and play that’s for sure. You need specific decks for Bazaar to shine and therfore a cube with dedicated slots/archetypes. As you said, Squee and Master are great, I’d add Monument to Endurance to that list. Then the discard aggro deck puts it to great use sacrificing card...

    I am happy to see more counter manipulation to go alongside the FF saga creatures. It's a fun interaction IMO!

    General Encouraging White Combo

    I made a about Enduring Renewal: https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/nanonoxs-1vs1-cube.3557/page-8#post-132928 It’s nice because you have a lot of ways to combo. In the same vein, Faith’s Reward Second Sunrise Can be good if you have some land and creature sacrifice in addition to the KCI...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Yeah army in a can is the wrong phrasing. I stand by my sentiment that it's too much for lower power. After casting your 6 drop (7 drop is the more realistic play pattern), you have no dead draws which is a problem ramp decks usually have. You are still happy to draw a land or ramp for a 4/4...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I think it would invalidate what has happened in a game a large amount of the time. You or your opponent built a cool engine? Nice! But now it doesn't matter because here is an army in a can with almost no work involved. I think it also overshadows some of your cool threats too like Verdant Force.

    Nanonox's 1vs1 cube

    Cuts Krark-Clan Ironworks I've had this for a while in my cube and it's a great payoff for going heavy artifacts...sometimes. The classic Myr Retriever + Scrap Trawler loop makes for a game winning engine, but KCI doesn't see much play outside of that scenario. One of its biggest appeals is...

    General Fight Club

    For me it's between Momo, Playful Pet and The Duke, Rebel Sentry. Momo's evasion and ability to tie a bunch of themes is pretty great (it's a no brainer for me if you are on Nurturing Pixie, Sunpearl Kirin and friends). However, I think I like the threat of activation + protection from The Duke...

    Dom's Stream of Consciousness

    Been drafting the cube online, the template is indeed very solid! I'll share some random impressions and ideas that I might incorporate in my cube. One package I’m liking and need to experiment more with is Roaming Throne Delney, Streetwise Lookout There are some solid humans that you run and...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    I’ve seen this in your cube and drafted some decks that make good use of it. My issue with it though, is the lack of synergy potential. The ceiling can be high, but when you reach it, your guy is just big. If I ran a Berserker archetype then maybe, but as it stands it doesn’t do enough. RG...
