I decided to try a ramp deck to see what would happen. So I P1P1 a Voyaging Satyr and followed it up with a Frantic Search thinking I would abuse bouncelands! Turns out I only saw a few on color so only have 2 and a Fertile Ground. That is only due to variance and I'm sure with only 3 players...

Here is a control deck I tried to put together. I think it came out pretty decently as I have early game interaction, card draw, life gain and some good win conditions. I'm really low on black fixing, but I'm a sucker for Tasigur :P I didn't look at the list at all before the draft, but there...

I enjoyed your thoughts on the new set and find I agree with most of what you say. One thing I feel important to point out is that Harsh Mentor is one-sided! Makes it a sweet red 2 drop in my book.

I agree that Wargear is brutal Chris. However, since the goal of this cube is to go big, it seems like a nice fit! Cutting 2 cards from your blue section is real tough. If it were my cube I would probably cut Crystal Shard just because it seems slow in your kind of environment (could be wrong...

I like most of these includes, but taking out the Grafted Wargear baffles me. It's been one of the stronger equipments for me, even at high power. The fact you can curve out 1 drop, 2 drop, Wargear and swing puts real pressure on the opponent. It also fits well in token decks that can use extra...

It was more of a "I want to play more efficient creatures" kind of reaction. Not sure what I can do in that case except remove the GRBS that was previously there and try to maintain some synergies as much as possible. I'm guessing you are familiar with this with your high powered cube. Are you...

Blue is OP because of the digging and card advantage. It is so much better than the rest that it's almost always correct to splash/play blue for that card advantage. This stifles the amount of viable decks as a whole which I wanted to avoid. You are right on here. With more drafts under their...

I'm liking these changes! I think that I would love to have both Mystic Snake and Shardless Agent. Any thoughts of ditching Kiora's Follower for one? Follower is good with Utopia Sprawl and Birthing Pod and some other cards, but most of the time, it's a fragile 2 color accelerator. For the...

So we had our first draft with my updated cube and we had fun! The draft went the way I was expecting (all 3 of us splashing/playing blue). I had an URb spells deck featuring some good fliers and a token subtheme. One of the guys had a UWr beatdown deck with a spells matter subtheme. The last...

It's not going anywhere :P Just mentioned it as one of the stronger green cards. Regarding Survival, I think it will get the axe as a repeatable tutor effect that has GY synergy is just so busted. I'm not sure that I like the other options though. I would need at least 2-3 Pods to make it a...

I was running Smuggler's Copter in my old power-max cube and even there, he was a beating. Three evasive damage + card selection is really good for 2 (colorless!) mana. The fact that he slots in well almost anywhere makes me think he is a bit overpowered for my current lower power-level card...

Good stuff whobetta, thanks! First thing I want to address is removal. I agree that the stronger the threats in your list, the stronger your removal needs to be. However, I'm not sure that I like my 1CC removal to be on the power level of Path and STP. I'm not comfortable with an opponent...

I'm trying to tighten up the power band in my cube. Here are the top cards from each color I feel: All in all, I think some cards are obviously better than others, but apart from a few, I feel they enhance the draft experience by giving direction. Did I miss anything? Am I way off...

Thanks Chris (and Grillo indirectly I guess!) for the very enlightening comment. - I want to keep mana rocks to a minimum (Wayfarer's Bauble, Mind Stone, Pristine Talisman) and I don't plan on adding any more. That way ramp can stay almost exclusively in green. - Since I play multiplayer...

That's a good point firemaw. Bident of Thassa does the same thing which creates some nice redundancy. However, I don't see much after that. Not card advantage, but I also like Baral's Expertise in MP as it clears away blockers while still allowing you to add to your board. I try and use this...

Thanks for the post whobetta! On drafting: Even though we really like glimpse drafting (and as noted above, I use 90% of my cube each draft), I'll have to try Tenchester once as it seems fun. On games: I'm not sure how much I like the respawn idea to be honest, here's why: In a 3 player FFA...

Thanks for the draft! Wow that really is the greediest deck I've seen yet :P I realize that Entomb is kind of a trap, as I don't have many reanimation spells. However, you can still grab Wonder, Genesis, Bloodghast, Vengevine and flashback cards. I'm considering adding a few reanimation...

Alright after drafting and tweaking this cube more and more, I've come to realize that there are a few cards that annoy me as being too good. To the surprise of no one: Elspeth, Knight-Errant Gideon Jura I'm thinking of swapping Elspeth for Citadel Siege. It's decent in control, scales well in...

I'll bite! That deck looks scary though. Tons of staying power, nice synergies and Balance! Here is a deck I just drafted from my cube: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/698931[/url]"] Ones 1 Figure of Destiny 1 Monastery Swiftspear 1 Path to Exile 1 Reckless Charge Twos 1 Gather the Townsfolk 1...

Do you have examples of the ones that worked and the ones that didn't?
