I feel like I do a backwards kind of version of this. When I want to push something I'll build a new cube with that idea in focus, do a bunch of drafts, make some tweaks, and then Obliterate the cube. It feels like in the process I develop "muscle memory" for the densities and cards and when I...

I think that The Planeswalkers, Venser, and Librarian are the "best" picks while the three color cards are the funnest picks. Personally I'd pick either Sen Triplets of Karador depending on whether I wanted to grind value out of the graveyard or try to find some artifact synergies to exploit...

Big Enchantments My players have expressed interest in having me support things Show and Tell, Sneak Attack, and Natural Order. While looking for targets for these cards, I kind of got hung up on Show and Tell being able to put non-creatures, particularly enchantments into play. This led me to...

Some thoughts on Dragon Tribal Grillo's original PennyPincher cube features a goblin engine built on the following cards to grind out games, allowing you effectively draw 2 cards a turn, one of which is removal. Wort, Boggart Auntie Crib Swap Nameless Inversion Warren Weirding Tarfire...

While I was searching for a mana rock that would interest a wildfire deck and an aggressive deck, I stumbled upon the borderpost cycle. Fieldmist Borderpost Mistvein Borderpost Veinfire Borderpost Firewild Borderpost Wildfield Borderpost Their use with wildfire is pretty self explanatory...

For those that are interested, I'm going to use this thread as a space to layout ideas and thoughts that I have on cube somewhere other than my head. I anticipate a lot of these posts will end up being interesting interactions that I find, or goofy, unfleshed out ideas for themes, decks, and...

The transform cards with lands on the back side really excite me. I love the idea of being able to sneak more lands into a cube this way.

This might be the first card I'm excited about.

Neheb, the Eternal seems like a premier card in Wildfire decks. Being able to produce 4 mana after a Wildfire seems so backbreaking.

I drafted Esper Control from MDT12's cube. My first pick was Ponder and I think the pick after that was Torrential Gearhulk. I picked some mana rocks to help fix mana and power out some late game spells. I think my favorite synergy in this deck is Torrential Gearhulk + Dig Though Time. I like...

I drafted this Bant Tokens deck from whobetta's 540 multiplayer cube. My first pick was Decree of Justice. I wantedt spells that are versatile and scale well with the game and Decree was the perfect fit. Since this is a multiplayer environment I decided to go wide to protect myself against...

In my experience Compulsion plays more like a 6 drop or a 2 drop with 5 time counters on it. I've found that if you play it on turn 2, you'll spend the following turns not activating and playing other spells just so you won't die. If you're able to survive to the late game you'll be able to...

I've been working on a cube and as I've shifted the reanimation targets from colored spells to artifact creatures, Refurbish and Argivian Restoration start to become pretty similar to Resurrection and friends with the added ability to cheat out some more expensive artifacts like Staff of Nin.

This is less of an update and more me thinking out loud. I've brought the idea of this cube up to my playgroup but they seem to want me to focus on a more traditional cube. I'm probably going to work on getting that cube finished so I can build up some good will before dropping this cube on...

I drafted these 6 decks. RG Wildfire Ones 1 Burst Lightning Twos 1 Rakdos Signet 1 Selesnya Signet 1 Magma Jet Threes 1 Cultivator's Caravan 1 Kitchen Finks 1 Yavimaya Elder 1 Harrow 1 Pristine Talisman 1 Beast Within 1 Pillage 1 Search for Tomorrow Fours 1 Chandra, the Firebrand 1...

This seemed oddly appropriate. Wings of Hope

Why even play magic if your turns aren't going to take half an hour?

Your post reminds me a lot of this extended deck I stumbled on when was I searching for different ways to utilize Gaea's Blessing and Krosan Reclamation to get that whole reprogrammable deck that was discussed in the mid/max cube blog going. It's Bob Maher's Oath of Druids deck from Pro Tour...

TheoryCraft Update #2 Did another update, tried to accomplish the following. Did an overhaul of Red and Black in order to work in a madness/ cycling/ discard theme. Added more multicolored cards and removed some underwhelming artifacts and lands. Did some light housekeeping in other parts of...
