2018 - The Year of Silence So, I have always had trouble just putting pen to paper and even if I do, there is a rigorous amount of editing I do in the meantime because maybe I am a perfectionist? I don't know. I just know that I want to share my experiences but I when I do, the task becomes to...

Hey Aston, Did you know that someone called Aston did a grid draft of your cube? Fascinating coincidence, to be sure. Video ain't half bad either. Here's to hoping they do another one!

I've been away from cube (and EDH for different reasons) pretty much all of this year. But have been playing a lot of standard and limited, and from that I want to mention one card that has been really out performing in standard for everyone: Treasure Map This card can go in any deck, helps make...

Yeah, I think it may be a marginal take as well. Plus some colours want these more than others, so it may be a lopsided cycle, but heck, it beats the karoos by a fair margin, so give it a shot.

Just take out the Karoo's and replace it with 5 copies of this :P But seriously, just take out any colourless land ie: Foundry of the Consuls Buried Ruin Inventor's Fair Dread Statuary Greir Reach Sanitarium The bottom 2 have worked quite well for me, so I think one of the top 3 may be...

Probably a little late to the party, but I think taht Mes Orb would be a great fit for you cube. It leads to all sorts of funky games ind interactions. Here is a post from RBM that explains why it is a good build around card, all of which is still relevant to this day. Here is a post from me...

I decided to upload a copy of your cube on my account to implement your draft profile you mentioned: http://www.cubetutor.com/draft/64169 This will allow yourself (or others) to draft your cube the way you wanted it to. Although there is some issue with duplicate commons in packs, but it...

I posted it over on my cube blog, but to save you clicking a link here was what I added: Archon of Justice Ludevic's Test Subject Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni Magmaw Mul Daya Channelers They were just some spice I had lying around. Half were from a previous iteration of Grillo's cube as well. I...

Love the writeup for the last draft. Look forward to reading the next one! A couple of questions: Could we get a picture of the keychain next draft report? I am curious How was dispatch in the UW Midrange deck? Was it fine as just a tapper? Had only like 3 artifacts in the deck Did the RG...

This is probably the safest list to build out of all here at riptide. I have also made a copy of this cube and my players haven't said a bad word about it. You can also alter the foundation to whatever suits your playgroup best. I dislike the Karoo cycle in this cube. None of my players picked...

Mesmeric Orb I can't believe I someone is higher on Mesmeric Orb than I am. I will one day make a grid draft environment built around it, but at this stage it is nice to see it getting love and admiration is so deserves for doing so many things in a small colourless package. I just need to...

Heh, that is exactly what happened in my game of battlebond. I was playing UB splashing for the oddsmaker and Last One Standing and also had to blow it up before I could use it. I mean, I still haven't got to use it but it's floor is decent (a 3/3 for 3) but it's ceiling is a draw engine that...

This thread makes me feel like Balduviantradingpost.com may be making a comeback. I am glad you came here to post it though, the people on that forum probably wouldn't understand. To me, they are way too involved into the drafting aspect than the play, as their hit a couple of years ago was...

Topplegeist Supreme Phantom Dread Wanderer Avacyn's Judgment Battlefield Scrounger Perpetual Timepiece Decided to give the spirit makers some love with a lord. Topplegeist is a spirit and enjoys all this discard we have going around. Avacyn's Judgment is just another good card for the...

I believe Jonas is referring to Laz's Scuttle cube. Which, doesn't use the painter's servant. I decided to search for the card on cubetutor, and people seem to just be using it in combo cubes to partner with grindstone. There was a couple of 'colours matter' cubes that have gone by the...

I also used to have a peasant (formerly pauper) cube. It looks pretty similar to inscho's above. I'm not too sure what kind of innovations can be done in peasant. This is the problem with giving things labels. When people say cube, they assume singleton and power-max. At least a lot of work has...

That is the saddest Tamiyo sitting in the sideboard I have ever seen. Weren't even game enough to throw in some islands to give her a chance? Here was my draft: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/956093[/url]"] Threes 1 Liliana of the Veil Fours 1 Chandra, Torch of Defiance 1 Sarkhan Vol Fives 1...

I decided to give the Kamigawa one a spin, and it seems pretty good. Here are my questions: Why have you kept in the silly red LD theme? Akki Blizzard Herder and Stone Rain don't even have an Akki Raider to trigger and just seem a little out of place. Was there not enough room for the BR...

I'll have to agree with Dom on this one. I was the one who was in control of the third 'riptide community makes a cube'. The other two were done by Bumbeh. The First and the Second. It took quite a while for my cube to hit the finishing line. It may have been a decent time since the last one...

My prerelease was a bit anti climactic. We didn't have any prize support and the 1 booster we were going to get at the end (as 'prize support') we could include into our decks. Cool, 7 booster sealed. This could be interesting I guess. Here were my sick rares that I opened: Desecrated Tomb...
