Had an idea earlier today. I like CBS for random cube discussions, but it's honestly tough to look up previous in depth discussions we may have had on specific archetypes. We've gotten used to the Riptide topic-jumping which has led to more organic discussions, but it would be difficult for a...

Sweet, cubetutor visual spoiler is up. The one on tappedout was unorganized had some weird overlay thing that was throwing me off. Way more inspired and interested now. Do you want us to post decks we come up with here and label whatever our final submission is when submission rolls around?

It's successful in Limited because of how print runs work, but it would be way too tedious to have to balance every single pack when it comes to a cube draft. You don't want one person to end up with a pack full of powerful rares and the person on the other side of the table to open up a pack of...

That's interesting, it's been the complete opposite for me. Pumping out blockers is a little annoying, but 0/1s aren't trading up with anything. If they are, then she's likely at a low loyalty by that point and dies to any single attacker that can get through blocks. It can be incredibly...

Agreed completely, new Nissa is a pretty sweet card. She's not gamewarping but is a powerful card that can do work. Sadly though, I really really like this one: Nissa, Voice of Zendikar And I try to avoid two of the same walker within the same exact colors.

I hate Hornet Queen. So much.

Which card do you dislike the most in an average cube? Let's say non-powered. I nominate: Hornet Queen Too generically powerful, good all the time, and it doesn't really have a whole lot of interesting play to it. You just plop it down on the board ASAP. It's a finisher that doesn't really...

Seems like this got lost in the middle of the draft replies. I've loved Ayli ever since I put her into the cube. She blocks really well as a 2/3 with Deathtouch holding the fort against more aggressive decks and any midrange fatties, the sac to gain life ability is pretty useful in bigger BW...

Anyone else watching Westworld? Show is pretty sweet. I'm loving all the reddit deepdiving that's been happening.

Knight of the Reliquary

Yes, I agree. I don't think he will be able to institute anything truly crazy (like the Muslim database or his stupid wall), but I 100% believe he will fall in line with the GOP and basically become a puppet president. He has many character flaws with narcissism being chief amongst them so I...

Not disagreeing with you, but being rich isn't my problem with him. I vote based on who aligns the most with my views with a proven track record. Bernie would have been my perfect candidate, a fucking godsend, but once the DNC shat on him Hillary was the next closest to my views that had a legit...

Independents did not give Trump the presidency, voter apathy and misplaced fuck establishment votes had a much greater impact in my opinion. How do you put that much trust into a billionaire who lives in a literal gold penthouse up in New York? He lives in a completely different world and didn't...

I like the ideas and the base you're working off, most of us are likeminded in our approach to cube here, but there were a few issues I noticed when looking over the list + a few drafts I did. The first thing to note is that a good, balanced environment will fall along a power band. If you want...

It might have gotten lost in between our UG discussion, but I did lay out some brief thoughts on BW Aggro (and sample lists) in a post a few replies back. This is 100% my jam though and one of the archetypes I've devoted the most time to fleshing out, so I'll lay it out more thoroughly. For...

A fine point. I did cut some one mana dorks a while back in favor of supporting different archetypes in green. There were only so many 1 mana elves that I actually wanted. I mean, UG Tempo CAN theoretically come together in my list, but a LOT needs to go your way. There may just end up being too...

Well, there's a simple answer here: I just don't support UG all that much. I tried before, but it just wasn't worth it. There was no real way for me to establish a UG identity at my power level that really shined in various drafts. That's why there are generic cards now with Edric, Spymaster...

Grillo mentioned BW earlier and issues it has aggro-wise, but I just haven't seen it personally. I LOVE drafting BW Humans or something more Stax-y in my cube pretty often actually. I will actively look to go into it if I can get the early Champion of the Parish or Bloodsoaked Champions (Two...

But to get it to a 5/5, you really need to have picked up all of the fixing you could possibly get your hands on. There's a cost there sequencing and fetch-wise to really maximize this card versus Monolith which is just a free 3 mana boost with no hoops to jump through. I've found that more of...

Guild wise, I think my rankings are as follows: 1. {B/G} 2. {U/R} 3. {U/B} 4. {W/B} 5. {W/U} 6. {B/R} 7. {R/G} 8. {G/W} 9. {R/W} 10. {G/U} I just don't like UG at all, it tries to be all these different things but usually just defaults to something good-stuffy. There's no real identity...
