    405 Mostly Modern Cube

    General Cubing at big events

    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...

    405 Mostly Modern Cube

    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...

    405 Mostly Modern Cube

    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...

    Eldrazi Domain Cube

    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!

    405 Mostly Modern Cube

    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...

    General What did you buy for your cube today?

    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

    405 Mostly Modern Cube

    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...

    405 Mostly Modern Cube

    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...

    Card/Deck [SCD] Dark Depths

    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...

    Article Primeval Stronghold (Playsession Report)

    I tend to draft lands/fixing higher than the average player just like the BUG player did here. Also seeing Primal Command again made me think about making the change you did... Primal in for Plow Under. I personally tend to like cards that can do multiple things.

    405 Mostly Modern Cube

    I actually agree with you 100%, but my playgroup would have none of that. Unless something like Aetherling gets printed in those colors. So I need to keep finding ways to balance what I want and what the playgroup wants. Who doesn't love Coiling Oracle? Azorius Charm is interesting, if Venser...

    405 Mostly Modern Cube

    That would be great, just need the number changed from 450 to 405 in the title. As for Geist... From the op... 3. Geist of Saint Traft, this card doesn't feel like it belongs in White/Blue, which to me is more of a control color combination. Hexproof with Blue seems to good. So basically I was...

    405 Mostly Modern Cube

    So last friday I cubed, four man draft, and I lived the dream, I drafted the reanimator deck. I don't have the deck list, but I had Dread Return, Makeshift Mannequin, and Beacon of Unrest with some fatties like Myr Battlesphere, Avacyn, Angel of Hope, and Borborygmos Enraged with ways to fill...
