Drafted a 4 man last night, and I thought I was going to play something really strong after the first six picks... Pick 1: Sword of Feast and Famine Pick 2: Troll Ascetic Pick 3: Hokori, Dust Drinker Pick 4: Dark Confidant Pick 5: Gemstone Mine Pick 6: Mirror Entity I have mana fixing, I had...

So this story goes back to Worlds in San Fran in 2011 My playgroup is mostly cube and/or edh players at this point, and we drafted several cubes just fine. 1. Keep your cards with you. At BIG events, I tend to put my leg through one of the straps on my backpack when sitting down 2. If you are...

If I was to start picking up cards for standard, with the intention of playing in this: http://www.starcitygames.com/events/71213_oakland_fact_sheet.html What should I start to pick up? BTW if you don't feel like clicking the link, it is in December and Theros will be out

Thanks for the comments on the gruul section. This forum has me thinking about what is best for the cube, not what is the best card because of powerlevel. Losing Sarkhan Vol sucks, now down to one Threaten ability in the cube :/, but on the positive side, it cut down on the number of...

Maybe becasue I never played with the card it was my first cut, but the 2 mana bloodrush is good for aggro, so Ghor-Clan can return... Updated... In ---> Out Ghor-Clan Rampager ---> Huntmaster of the Fells Raging Ravine ---> Sarkhan Vol Which makes the Gruul look like this Kessig Wolf Run...

I drafted this for the first time today on cubetutor, and I enjoyed it. I like the non-singleton exception for certain cards, loved being able to draft different decks, basically just wanted to say that this thing is awesome!

Gruul continues to be a little bit of a convered mana cost issue at 4cc. Right now my Gruul section looks like this... Kessig Wolf Run Bloodbraid Elf Ghor-Clan Rampager Huntmaster of the Fells Sarkhan Vol Bringing in Burning-Tree Shaman for Ghor-Clan was a simple switch, but then the problem...

Yesterday... Jace, Architect of Thought and Destructive Force Today... Thinking about backing this project, but I am unsure... A friend I have vouched for this project, so I backed it http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/967203081/cube-vault-metal-carrying-case-for-transporting-ca

Wouldn't Nivix Cyclops be good in a deck like that? Also seems like an awesome wall for a control deck

Some of us have to be at work on Saturdays at 8am... :/ Basically saying, I'll tune in

And yeah this is the part where the combo dies. The more and more I read posts here and recall reactions to the players I played against last week, it may just be time to give the combo the axe... But hey gives me another reason to put this in In ---> Out Resurrection ---> Entreat the...

First, lets start with a copy and paste from the "3-0'd" thread about my last draft Now let's continue with another copy and paste from the Dark Depth's SCD thread Now let's start the non-copied text and begin with an arguement FOR the Pester-Kiki combo While this combo maybe very powerful...

History leading to this SCD So as of the last few drafts, my playgroup has somewhat complained about the Pestermite/Deciever Exarch/Zealous Conscripts with Splinter-Twin/Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker combo, saying while it is easy to disrupt, it just wins. They are starting to claim it is almost too...

My favorite deck to draft went 2-0, as our drafting location closed before round 3 Ones 1 Enclave Cryptologist 1 Repeal 1 Skred Twos 1 Into the Roil 1 Think Twice 1 Pyroclasm 1 Izzet Charm 1 Izzet Signet 1 Ratchet Bomb Threes 1 Pestermite 1 Tezzeret's Gambit 1 Flames of the Firebrand 1...

Like a buttface, I forgot to thank Jason for fixing the tilte of the thread. Thank you sir
