CONTINUED TOKEN CLEAROUT As fallout of my decision to simplify tokens, I've had to make some more cuts. Winota, Joiner of Forces Fight as One Each of these cards reference "Human" and "Non-human," meaning that you have to care about the difference between the tokens from Secure the Wastes and...

Oh, if you're at 180 then that changes things! This makes total sense, my bad for not looking up your cube before answering. Still, I'd argue that the Crab is a counterspell first that also happens to support reanimation/ramp and should be viewed as such rather than seeing it as a...

Hot take alert, but I don't think they compete for the same slot at all. Sure, yes, you can reanimate both of them relatively easily, but apart from that I think you can include both and be completely fine. For example, the Crab is perfectly fine as a Disallow variant alone; being able to...

I think the exercise gets to be whatever you want it to be! And that what you want it to be can change.

Big Bilbo energy from this hint.

If it wasn't for the "no constructed play" I'd think it's The joke angle makes me thing it's But that can't be right either, as I don't think it's a draft powerhouse.

I have made a pair of terrible mistakes. MISTAKE 1: After gaming out what going to 100 fixing lands would do, I'm realizing that I forgot one simple thing--fetches just don't do much in this environment to make the shuffling worthwhile. I'd rather stick with a 20/20/20 split of...

(so don't try to cube with mana tithe)

The other candidates are Pashalik Mons Legion Warboss Mons is neat, but I don't think I have the required gobbo density to make him work. Warboss is just too strong for what I'm trying to do. But hey, you could be the one to make a cube out of Goblins Looking Left!

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to hear. That's the problem, I wish that these two could somehow split their power difference. I think the answer is that neither is going to hang with the rest of my cube from a power level standpoint.

Gut, True-Soul Zealot Toggo Toggo is definitely more whimsical in my book, but I've always had doubts about his power level because no one else will ever play him. Getting a free Breath of Fire on every land feels like it's great when you're ahead or at parity, but incredibly mediocre when...

Getting in Shape for Summer I'm hosting a draft in August, so with vacations and deadlines ahead of me, I've decided to clean up some rough edges before the first paper draft of the MDFC. FAR-OFF LANDS The worst part of cube is making cuts, and there's no reason to have 15 spells in each...

It's a little complicated, but Train is making a joke about how he doesn't want to live in the southern United States. "Dixieland" is a term originating around the American Civil War used by the Confederste South to refer to a mythologized version of themselves. The words following are a parody...

The rest of the pod when you get hit by that Assassin's Trophy Agreed on the alt art absolutely killing it.

Re: Obscura Ascendancy, I think the main use is making the tokens, not the graveyard payoff. If I can make two tokens it's fine on rate IMO even with the colors, and three 2/2 fliers is really good. The buff then represents a win con if the game goes really late; you don't work towards it, it...

I'm in the same camp as @inscho here, wow. That is so much better. Thanks for showing off these decks! #readingthecardexplainsthecard

Oketra's Monument Kor Skyfisher My cube can't handle the combo, but I like both. Is Monument more cute than good? I know that Skyfisher tends to get the nod.

If Pauper weren't a constructed format, I'd agree with you, Jason. However, because it exists, I view Pauper cubes as an extension of that, similar to how you can have a Modern cube or a Vintage cube that tries to recreate aspects of a specific constructed format in a draftable manner. Peasant...
