General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

Did you like, make a contract with the devil where you get some extraordinary benefits, but as a cost you have to use the word "libertarianism" a dozen times a day? So your mind is like "shit, I've only said it 8 times today, better jam it into some Magic conversations before midnight".

Zionism is the religion of Judaism, therefore a better comparison. anyway, libertarians tend to arise in dying empires where the inequality is big and there isn't enough to go around (o boy magic cards).
it is my hope that the US's sphere of influence contracts in the same 'mostly harmless' way as England's, and that, when it's all over, we're left with at least a shadow of the British national sense of humour

Man why do Lucas' winning decks always have bonfire in them?
The official name for that deck is BR fun police. I spent a long time staring at geralfs messenger and bogart ram gang and my fixing wondering if I wanted to be a RRR or a BBB deck. I like that it felt like I always had a couple on board tricks but without the proper sac effect saturation or LD this really felt like I might as well had been playing RW.
Hahahaha that card is mean. Sixth pick no less! I mean every other time I've cast it it might as well had been a red wrath or something in my control decks but it was really realizing its potential here in a way that I'm excited to see in red decks. I like that red has some good midrangey spikes in card quality, but I do find myself apologizing every time I play it. Hahahahaha
Winning with Rakdos cackler is almost as fun as winning with Cruel Ultimatum and that's pretty cool. It's also nice to go 3-0 without islands in my deck for once.
Eric's draft was one that I think may have brought light to the classic issue of ending up in UR and not really having a line to stand on. It's something I think about from time to time but all my solutions feel awkward and gimmicky.

A quote for the ages
been sick all last week so didn't happen much there. had a 6man finally.
"I picked too much manafixing so I don't have enough playables, this deck is awful" *3-0s draft*
First Pick: Arcanis the Omnipotent
edit: report over in my cube thread

edit: report over in my cube thread
To be fair most of my 3-0's come after I publicly declare my deck awful. But I think that's largely attributed to excessively high standards.

They not have kinkos where you live?
not my cube, but i 4-0'd a friend's cube with this.
my picks went like: sol ring, balance, supreme verdict, sylvan library, swords to plowshares, kodama's reach, goblin guide, hellrider, realized what was happening. for once i actually read signals instead of just doing whatever.
library + domri rade is pretty strong interaction i haven't encountered before.
also, i can't say enough good things about tangle wire.

no carThey not have kinkos where you live?
i find it very fun in my cube, but i'm not sure if i'm the norm. nobody has complained about it, but that doesn't mean much. i'm also not sure if my cube is up to par with riptidelab standards but hey it tries to be. i definitely don't think it is game-ruining bullshit though.
the cube that deck is from is most definitely not a riptide style cube though. turn 3 tangle wire let me win through my opponent's sword of body and mind + mirran crusader hand in grand finals. that cube has upheaval and jtms and show and tell into emrakul/omniscience/iona/jin-gitaxias/griselbrand/sundering titan and channel and recurring nightmare. or lesser offenders but still offenders like thrun, assemble the legion, and blood baron
edit: honestly i dont think the deck i posted is good in that cube, just got lucky + misplays + misdrafting.

Last night's draft felt really funny because all the decks seemed like they were doubled up.
Me and Wilson played primarily green ramp decks
Eric and Denix were all over RB 1/2 drops
Pamela and Bryan were curving out with RW creatures
I don't feel like magic discourse has developed adequate terms to discuss Peter's deck.
