    Thank for your reply :) The Earth definitely seems like a leftover and I will exchange it for something else. I only saw one dedicated aura deck up to now and it worked quite well. It was W/u using some counters to prevent most in-response removel and the umbra really seem to do a decent job...

    Hello everyone (mind, this might be a year old thread but the cube by itself is sill existent and everything...), I am back from one year abroad and my group wants to cube draft again :D That said, they actually did quite a lot of drafting during my absense and the cube evolved a fair bit...

    Thanks for the reply :) I will start by changing the 4 cards and will watch out for the rest and will give some updates how often they are played. I know that both the Magus as well as the Leviathan are played quite a lot as a late board reset while Wonder has a home in U/W and U/G decks where...

    So, back from vacation, right into Cubing^^ Thanks for the replys, I would like to jear your reasoning :) While I agree to some of the cards, I think some of them are quite strong. From the last short list, I would not cut tje flare as it gives red nice reach in the late game, the others seem...

    Yeah, maybe I have to change some removal to be more conditional and more artifact-friendly or just change the sphere to something with 6 or less mana cost as Steel Hellkite is fine and sees regular play. Hunting Pack has seen play in two decks and it ranged between "blowout" in a Simic deck...

    So, we finally were able to get some games with the new list (see link in post above, inbetween: shameless push). The drafted decks were much better in power level, though blue was a bit overdrafted in our 3 drafts. Somehow, most of my cube meta seems to prefer drafting horrendously cluncky...

    Timbers First Budget Cube - help

    So, I updated the cube list (again ^^) and tried to follow your recommendations to go through each card slot. Maybe some choices are still sub-optimal, though I tried to use mainly what I have available. I cut back some ramp, changed quite a lot of creatures, added U and B 2-drops as well as...

    Thanks a lot for the feedback and suggestions :) I will go thorugh all slots and think about the card choices again and will update everything after going through my collection with what I can come up with. Grave Titan and Attrition might be a bit of a too hard lock, true :D Might also cut the...

    Thanks for the replies everyone :) @ Grillo: Yeah, I understand what you mean, so I will try to increase the overall level (see changes below). @ quanta: Equilibrium works indeed quite nice, either in tempo decks to remove blockers or in RU to jiggle e.g. FTK, so far, I really like the card in...

    Thanks for the input :) Yeah, removing the elf package might me the right call, might add another ramp creature and some artifact-removing creatures seems like a great idea. Grim Poppet will be cut and I think the Myr Battlesphere also gets the axe due to some players missing additional myrs...

    Timbers First Budget Cube - help

    Hi everybody, I recently started a budget cube with some friends. I am the only one with a more or less active Magic history, but we are all keen on card games. Somehow, I became responsible for our cube project (never saw that comming ;) ) and I read quite a lot of primers / starters /...
