I finally got deckpics from CubeOpen Hamburg AND CubeOpen Potsdam thanks to the updated Hedron Network 2.0! Time to recap! Cube Open Hamburg I couldn't attend this one, because I got married that weekend, but the Casual Champions Cube could! People drafted some cool decks. 1. Mono {R} Goblin...

Considering this card as an occasional that makes white an interesting splash color for madness and selfmill decks: Glory But I fear that it is GRBS. Any opinions?

Long Feng, Grand Secretariat Tribune of Rot It's a core module slot, hybrids don't need to be high picks but should be decent playables in as many archetypes as possible. Themes in black and/or green: Selfmill Sacrifice Tokens Lands Reanimator Madness Ninjutsu

Hm, okay, taking all these takes in, I think I'll leave Brainstorm where it is right now: in the occasionals. It feels a bit weird there as it's not a super splashy card, just another 1-mana cantrip, but it does have the constructed legacy to maybe actually deserve that spot. And it will...

I've heard people say that Brainstorm becomes Ancestral Recall with enough fetchlands around. Brainstorm Does that mean that Brainstorm should not be in a lower powered list with 15 Prismatic Vistas in 360 cards?

There are a few cards from this set where I considered ALTERING THE SET SYMBOL with my acrylics, but in the end, nothing made it's way into my cube.

I really appreciate that post, but I am not sure this is about quantity in support. I feel like it's enough that I can, irl or on cc, always force {r/w} prowess and get a decent to great deck. However, it seems to be either not convincing enough – maybe people don't expect white spellslinger –...

I have these payoffs in the core module: Seeker of the Way Myth Realized Ojutai Exemplars Monk of the Open Hand Levitating Statue Sadly only three {W} cards that say "noncreature spell" around my power level. Of course I have more prowess in red and similar things in blue. White also has...

I'd go with old flitterfang. Lots of potential ways to build around that. Patrol looks too clunky even for lower power level while the bat is very strong and I dislike that it keys off opponent's creatures dying only.

Promise of Bunrei Muster the Departed The idea here is to have a card that rewards and fuels the {W/B} sacrifice/token deck but without it being a virtual gold card. The card should also be decent for go-wide decks that aren't about sacrifice, usually {G/W}, sometimes {R/W}, and for {R/W} and...

I drafted BLB a decent amount, it definitely did a much better job of being a typal (kindred is the card type) set than ECL. You only had very few cards that actually cared for creature types and all or most of the lower rarity ones where like "if you control a mouse" or something. It was...

Goblin Slide Imagine a lower powered cube with prowess and goblin typal as red themes. Could this by any chance be good enough?

Yeah, I think the fact that the moxen aren't good anymore on turn 4+, and lotus probably too, is what made me consider this card for lower power in the first place. Ooh right, it does the thing again when you blink or reanimate it. That kills it for paper cube imo, I don't want to make 27...

Let's talk about this birdie Oracle of the Alpha

Thanks for the input guys, you made me consider some cards I might not have considered otherwise. Here's what I am at right now. Azorius is between two cards for me. While Grand Arbiter Augustin IV is cool, I think he's only my third favorite. For me it is between Sky Hussar and Isperia, the...
