I'm not a big fan of the wishes in cube. Since cube is mostly singleton I feel like you would want to just have the best cards in your deck. They aren't really useful for searching up stuff that's outside of your colors since you wouldn't be able to cast them and you really don't want sideboard...

Quicken is such a polarizing card for me. I've played a miser's copy in RUG Scapeshift and even won a mirror match with it as well as in RTR-Theros Standrad UW Control where it was a house with Sphinx's Revelation. On the other hand, it's always been a 23rd card when I draft the MTGO cube and...

So let's say that your cube design leads you to cut these cards to make things like Tormenting Voice and Grapple With the Past good and less niche. What takes their place? Brainstorm Ponder Preordain Serum Visions I really dislike having curves that start at 2. What interesting cards are...

http://blog.killgold.fish/2015/03/kill-reviews-innistrad-block.html I'm rereading this article and it's really interesting that we're echoing some of the author's points. It also kind of goes a little into answering some of your questions.

TheoryCraft Update #1 After reading through Grillo's advice I made the following changes. This update aims to address 4 problem points before actual playtesting. Removal of the Vivid Lands to encourage drafters to explore lower power synergies rather than Powerful Cards + Lands Removal of...

I finally have time to reply! Thanks for the drafts and feedback. I would like some guidance on some of this stuff since I'm pretty new to this kind of format. Do you think it's a good idea to try to de-power blue a little bit? What are some of the clear first picks in the color? I feel like...

I drafted this Mono-U Artifact deck. I p1p1'd Timetwister and went from there. I really like that Crush of Tentacles has a bunch of synergy with most of my nonland permanents. I like the eggs and Trading Post for grinding out games. Crush or Waterfront Bouncer followed up by Timetwister seems...

I get what you're saying about the ETBs and I should've asked meant what you meant by that. I do like your approach to ETBs and I remember someone arguing for them since cards like Flametongue Kavu have always been part of the game. I agree that in these kinds of lists we should focus ETBs on...

I drafted this WB Aristocrats deck using the listed parameters. Ones 1 Tortured Existence 1 Thraben Inspector 1 Chromatic Star 1 Bloodsoaked Champion Twos 1 Cartel Aristocrat 1 Prophetic Prism 1 Oversold Cemetery 1 Scrapheap Scrounger 1 Miasmic Mummy 1 Selfless Spirit Threes 1 Oblivion...

Hello everyone! This is my first attempt at building a non-singleton, low-power cube. I've designed this as a peasant cube (commons/ uncommons only) as a way to help me think outside of the box as well as to spotlight lesser known cards and the interesting/ goofy archetypes they can spawn...

I like that these reanimation spells are all "on theme" and costed reasonably. Vigor Mortis and Necromantic Summons make you jump through some hoops to get the counter synergy but you should have enough time to get there. CMC wise, they're on the Standard Solar Flare side of the scale rather...

Shadow of the Grave made me immediately think of Firestorm. Discarding your hand to Wild Mongrel or Psychatog as a pseudo pump spell seems pretty dumb as well. I just realized that Wheel of Fortune makes you discard. Definitely a Johnnycard. The 4/3 guy seems neat. It feels like it could have...

In modern, with this in play, Fetch + Shock will be 5 damage. In Legacy and Modern with just fetches, it'll be 3 damage. It shuts down Alluren and Abzan Company's combos. In standard, it gets damage in every time a vehicle is crewed. I wonder if Mardu vehicles will play it. This card makes...

This is super neat. I really like how it scales with the game. The +2 and 0 seem so good at fixing your draws + providing a good source of gas. Super late game you can just cast this for X=6 and swing for 10. It doesn't protect itself, but it can come down on turn 2.

This is interesting. How so? I can see Nahiri being miserable because of the high loyalty but the other two seem like they would be fine.

From what we've seen so far I've liked Liliana, Death's Majesty, Channeler Initiate, Soul-Scar Mage, Combat Celebrant, Mouth // Feed and Crocodile of the Crossing. I like Cast Out for the peasant list I'm working on too. I hope that we get some good embalm creatures. the ones we've seen are neat...

I really like blue cards. They're my absolute favorite to play. If I had to cut a card from the section, I would choose Vapor Snag and keep Mystical Tutor in. Going through the rest of your blue section, it seems like it would contribute the least. Riftwing Cloudskate, Man-o'-War, Waterfront...

Using Trade Routes to pick up and cycle one of the bicycle lands all while triggering Drake Haven is the kind of nonsense I can get behind.
