    General Macroarchetype Cube or: Who's the Beatdown Cube

    I played vs myself on Cockatrice and it was Aggro 4-0 Control, so you may even have underestimated it :D But the games were fine, it wasn't actually just running over the control deck, but dealing like 5-10 damage and keeping pressure on to force wipes while you had protection up, finishing the...

    If you squint, it looks like an Arrogant Wurm.

    Haven't made any cuts or put the right number of cards yet, or even tried to all removal... but I can already draft aggro and control! WR Aggro: https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/6364a6c470d1e90abd9b0695 WUR Control: https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/6364a8d870d1e90abd9b1087 I need to add some...

    30 cents per card is less than half what I thought it would cost. It's funny how a proxied cube will be more expensive than my budget cube though XD

    I'll proxy this cube, yeah, no way I'm buying 3 cycles of fetches plus the rest of the $4000 my incomplete list is at. I don't want to run customs, though, simply because it's easier to manage and play online without then. Thanks for offer though! I may ask you for tips on printing!

    Definitely want to support tempo aggro control disruption merfolk fish. I would like aggro decks to have disruptive elements in other colors as well, like discards in black, instant hexproof/indestructible in white and green. Red is trickier, but it can work on these sorts of decks by using burn...

    Bob's on the list. I don't think Pain Seer is much better than Audacious Thief, but I may run it too. Ferocidon might be fine, but it's kind of punishing the opponent for trying to make a comeback and I view it as a card that's unfun to lose to. That's a reason not to go to this power level...

    Triple posting yay! More rambling about non-flat power level bands: as you draft a cube and familiarize yourself with the cards in it, you "level up" as a player figuring out how good cards are, and what changes those evaluations. That's a large part of the appeal of limited and of cube to me -...

    Entirely possible, I didn't want to single Kaito out though :) I didn't pick the cards because they were the worst, but they just seemed to have more interesting play patterns and choices to me. It was kind of a happy accident that they tended to be the worst ones.

    Don't read too much into that, I just reused a cube project. And I don't think that statement holds much meaning to me, so again, don't read too much into it. Hard agree that I'm basically making a cube with three pentas archetypes: WUBRG Aggro WUBRG Midrange WUBRG Control Are you sure? I feel...

    Ok, a bit more about mana bases: Since I'm probably starting at 540 cards, I'm going to go up from 6 to 9 cycles. Generic Flooded Strand Flooded Strand Flooded Strand Hallowed Fountain Control Raffine's Tower Azorius Chancery Aggro Seachrome Coast Adarkar Wastes Adarkar Wastes Good...

    Thank you! I like Kaito Shizuki, Jace, Mirror Mage, Liliana, Death's Majesty, Teferi, who slows the sunset, Nissa, Steward of Elements and Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner so far! I guess those are the weakest ones? But also the ones that feel the coolest to me because they are resonant (besides Nissa...

    Could ya'll please tag your cards? I'm trying to have this conversation on a phone and I literally cannot tell what cards those are or create scryfalll queries to try to find out XD

    It's better for devotion, so frankly in mono B Goth Mantis might be better still. Hope that makes you fell better :)

    Oh yeah, I am up for trying some planeswalkers at least. Not too many because complexity, but maybe 10-15 in a 540 cube. I want good designs though, that kind of the point of a cube without many restrictions. Suggestions?

    I think this is about the power level I'm aiming for. That's not very far at all from what's there. But I'm not a fan of token spam and won't dedicate too much of the cube to cantrips, so might not run many of those on those grounds. Thanks for the suggestions, I will definitely include some of...

    Well, you picked the worst cards from that list I think, not the average... Those are sort of what I'd call bottom 10% of the current list. What kinds of threats would be at a power level between the one I have and Laelia?

    General Macroarchetype Cube or: Who's the Beatdown Cube

    Ok, power level. I am open to any power level. However, whenever I looks for cards I want to include, I end up at about slightly higher than the Elegant Cube (like the top 50% of cards in the Elegant Cube). Part of the reason is of course that I am familiar with that power level, it was what...

    Wow, I was just thinking about that - shift the protagonism to the non generic cards by making them a bit stronger. Goblin Guide and Wrath of God don't belong in the same deck, and they convince people to draft very different decks. Funnily enough, I've had the problem of midrange being bad. I...
