    I'm not into it. Do people really play planeswalkers for their ultimate? Don't you never get there?

    Why Nahiri? Looks pretty generic unless you've got madness or golbin welder or something.

    Hmm cool. It's a bit slower, but good if magiccards.info really does die.

    hahahaha I forgot about this. Who did it???? Don't be sad, be glad! You're now in on one of RiptideLab's dankest memes!

    There's one where you draft the same cube twice, then do a utility function draft containing functions that map from cube x cube --> cube. You play with two decks, and the functions act like conspiracies which you can use to transform a pair of cards into another card in the cube. It's really...

    Can you potentially go off a couple turns in a row with tendrils? Or do you burn all your cards in a storm turn?

    Agreed. Gatherer is so slow.

    I run Gideon's Lawkeeper, Mother of Runes, Soldier of the Pantheon. Maybe there are some better ones now. I see your point. Apart from mother these kinda suck.

    Yeah I see your point. I personally only support humans as white aggro, so I have a few champion of the parish, a couple mardu woe-reaper, and other humans. There's enough selection in human aggressive 1-drops that you can have both variety and consistency this way. But this is definitely one...

    I disagree. In a normal set, this approach is a good thing. Having only a few removal spells means you know what to play around. But in cube, variety and randomness (for lack of a better word) is a plus for a lot of people. I like lots of variety, and I'm sure I'm not alone. Also, rather than...

    All of us here have in our own ways been doing our own research on what can work in cube. We've all had successes and failures with random archetypes or cards or combos or whatever. So what if we built a big list of successful themes we've had, then look at which ones we can overlap and make a...

    Personally, I passed liliana early because there was no way I was going to be playing enough swamps. Its too tempting to play colors. But I know I love to play lots of colors, maybe other people are different. But I could totally just be RB in this draft. Would liliana be good in a 2-color deck?

    The ground is pretty cluttered in this cube, but I think there's room for some sort of flying beets deck. There must be an interesting way to have a flyers deck. Prowess? Pants? Lifting up chunky green dudes? One of the decks I adore from my own cube is the UR spells-matter tempo deck. As really...

    What's the deadline? We should finish this draft, collect our thoughts, and see what we can do.
