    General combo in cube: thoughts on the "showdown turn"

    Never mind, this falls into the category of "Did I draw proper sideboard cards" that we're trying to avoid.

    Relic of Progenitus Tormod's Crypt Grafdigger's Cage Nihil Spellbomb Wasteland Tectonic Edge Ghost Quarter Aren't there lots of colorless card that interact with both of these resouces? Or are they at fault for being too narrow?

    General combo in cube: thoughts on the "showdown turn"

    Okay, so I've re-read through this thread a few more times while thinking about this, and I've found myself lost in terms of terminology. What are the distinctions between "engine", "combo", "synergy/synergistic kill", "cog", etc? From what I've gathered, (and this might not be accurate)...

    General combo in cube: thoughts on the "showdown turn"

    The "I didn't draw the proper sideboard/hoser/disruption card so I lose" felling is the thing I hate the most about the Modern format at the moment, and my post echoes that a little bit. The funny thing is that Twin is considered a "fair" deck in the format right now. I've been thinking about...

    General combo in cube: thoughts on the "showdown turn"

    I've been playing Splinter Twin in Modern for a while now, and I have to say it's much more exciting/interesting than simply "I put my two cards together gg move on." What I find so interesting about the deck (in Modern, not cube) is that it's fundementally a tempo deck that leverages the...

    Definitely meant this as a joke. But for the context you're wanting: Our playgroup plays cube in teams (4 vs 4). We draft individually and then the teams work together during deckbuilding, helping each other, discussing strategy, etc. The we play out four matches versus each other person on...

    I laughed when I first saw Sarkhan Vol in Jason's cube. There's no it was good. This thing is garbage. Then my friend drafted a Jund Zombies deck, stole my Primeval Titan with Sarkhan's minus, attacked me, then sacraficed it to Goblin Bombardment. I've respected this guy as a solid...
