    Charm Cube (Shards/Wedges)

    List got a big update after the release of BFZ. I've been on hiatus after the birth of my second kid, and just now getting back into it. The top-line change is no morphs (technically there's still rattleclaw mystic but you'd always just play it face up). This is because: there's a narrow set...

    I benched Falkenrath as part of a set of changes to slow down the games by a half turn, very happy with it

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    want to throw this out and say that if your cube has a power-level range that can handle this guy: swift warkite he's been amazingly fun in 3s Cube. So far my favorite DTK card.

    Charm Cube (Shards/Wedges)

    Thoughts on Rotisserie Drafting Your Own Cube During the draft someone described rotisserie drafting a cube as a "450-space worker placement game" which is a metaphor I like because it really underlines one of my favorite parts of the format: you don't necessarily take the most important card...

    Charm Cube (Shards/Wedges)

    three logistical suggestions: - google docs is useful for this (pretty common at this point) - on one of the tabs, paste the entire cube list separated by sections. Have people make their picks using cut and paste so it's clear near the end what's left. - By the end, we we found it convenient to...

    Charm Cube (Shards/Wedges)

    What's tough is the two cards you mentioned do NOT trigger Sidisi :(. In practice though it doesn't matter because Sidisi has been shown to trigger more than enough. I've been keeping out on-board incremental advantage if it feels repetitive. For example, I kicked out Charmbreaker Devils but...

    Charm Cube (Shards/Wedges)

    out of all the colors, blue has eaten the most space for synergy strategies and cards, which is primarily due to the initial concessions to sultai / Sidisi, Brood Tyrant, fact I don't support draw-go style play, and the realization that I misbuilt the izzet section a little bit. I think we've...

    Charm Cube (Shards/Wedges)

    I think the theory is sound sound, and you have Boros Charm as wipe protection so I think it'd work. I'll put some thought into my build and post over the weekend. I think your opponents are going to be worried if they get down to ~8 just thanks to the Blood Artist effects plus the other reach.
